[QUOTE="DonR, post: 2649461, member: 296481"] Cyrus, meaning "sunlike" is a two-fold prophecy, as many are messianic in foreshadowings. And yes, he could have acted out what he saw was already written. But what he could not have acted out was his mother naming him Cyrus- the very name Isaiah foretells. He did not become King of Persia to please Isaiah. He didn't become king over the very empire Isaiah foretold to issue the decree, to please Isaiah or God. Isaiah foretold which kingdom would have the power to do so. So this doesn't negate the fact that the prophet foresaw a Persian king named Cyrus coming to power at the right time. Had the king, who was entitled "king of kings" had not been born and made ruler and acted in accordance, then you would be making a very valid point to disclaim prophecy. There comes another Sun of Righteousness which will issue the decree to rebuild Jerusalem and set the captives free. The Messiah. [/QUOTE]
