“I’m Cyrus, king of Persia; some call me Cyrus the Great, others, Cyrus the Elder. The God of Heaven has given me all the kingdoms of the earth; and He asked me to permit the Jews to return to their homeland and to build them a house of worship. Daniel showed me writings from Isaiah that were over one hundred fifty years old, in which Isaiah named me, by name, as the person that would release the Jews from captivity. Surely, God must have told him about me. [Reflection is based on the Bible Reference – Ezra 1:1-11]
