In the Bible, the Medes are often mentioned in conjunction with the Persians, as they formed a significant part of the Medo-Persian Empire. The name is used to denote both the land and its inhabitants.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>Media was an ancient civilization known for its significant role in the rise of the Medo-Persian Empire. The Medes were an Indo-Iranian people who established a powerful kingdom in the 7th century BC. They are historically noted for their alliance with the Babylonians in the overthrow of the Assyrian Empire. The Medes later became part of the Achaemenid Empire under Cyrus the Great, who united the Medes and Persians. This union played a crucial role in the biblical narrative, particularly in the context of the Jewish exile and subsequent return to Jerusalem.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive
