in
pieces;
With
you
I
will
destroy
kingdoms;
Jeremiah
51:20
(NKJV)
1
Now
in
the
first
year
of
Cyrus
king
of
Persia,
that
the
word
of
the
LORD
by
the
mouth
of
Jeremiah
might
be
fulfilled,
the
LORD
stirred
up
the
spirit
of
Cyrus
king
of
Persia,
so
that
he
made
a
proclamation
throughout
all
his
kingdom,
and
also
put
it
in
writing,
saying,
2
Thus
says
Cyrus
king
of
Persia:
All
the
kingdoms
of
the
earth
the
LORD
God
of
heaven
has
given
me.
And
He
has
commanded
me
to
build
Him
a
house
at
Jerusalem
which
is
in
Judah.
Ezra
1:1-2
(NKJV)
3
Who
is
among
you
of
all
His
people?
May
his
God
be
with
him,
and
let
him
go
up
to
Jerusalem
which
is
in
Judah,
and
build
the
house
of
the
LORD
God
of
Israel
(He
is
God),
which
is
in
Jerusalem.
4
And
whoever
is
left
in
any
place
where
he
dwells,
let
the
men
of
his
place
help
him
with
silver
and
gold,
with
goods
and
livestock,
besides
the
freewill
offerings
for
the
house
of
God
which
is
in
Jerusalem.

(NKJV)
1.)
*Cyrus
the
Great
is
known
as
one
the
greatest
conquerors
throughout
history.
2.)
His
birth
was
prophetically
declared
by
the
prophet
Isaiah
one
hundred
and
fifty
years
before
he
was
born.
3.)
God
raised
him
up
at
a
key,
strategic
time
to
liberate
the
Jewish
captives
from
Babylonian
bondage.
4.)
The
decree
of
Cyrus
provided
all
the
wealth
and
resources
needed
to
rebuild
the
temple
and
the
walls
of
Jerusalem.
5.)
The
wealth
was
transferred
to
God's
people
from
the
Babylonian
treasuries.
6.)
The
Cyrus
decree
set
a
process
in
motion
that
revolutionized
a
people,
a
governmental
system
and
nations
of
the
earth.

Thus
says
the
LORD,
your
Redeemer,
And
He
who
formed
you
from
the
womb:
I
am
the
LORD,
who
makes
all
things,
Who
stretches
out
the
heavens
all
alone,
Who
spreads
abroad
the
earth
by
Myself;
25
Who
frustrates
the
signs
of
the
babblers,
And
drives
diviners
mad;
Who
turns
wise
men
backward,
And
makes
their
knowledge
foolishness;
Isaiah
44:
24-25
(NKJV)
26
Who
confirms
the
word
of
His
servant,
And
performs
the
counsel
of
His
pleasure,
Saying
to
Jerusalem,
You
shall
be
built,
And
to
the
temple,
Your
foundation
shall
be
laid.
Isaiah
44:
28
(NKJV)
19
Now,
therefore,
you
are
no
longer
strangers
and
foreigners,
but
fellow
citizens
with
the
saints
and
members
of
the
household
of
God,
20
having
been
built
on
the
foundation
of
the
apostles
and
prophets,
Jesus
Christ
Himself
being
the
chief
cornerstone.
Ephesians
2:19-20
(NKJV)
8
For
by
grace
you
have
been
saved
through
faith,
and
that
not
of
yourselves;
it
is
the
gift
of
God,
9
not
of
works,
lest
anyone
should
boast.
10
For
we
are
His
workmanship,
created
in
Christ
Jesus
for
good
works,
which
God
prepared
beforehand
that
we
should
walk
in
them.
Ephesians
2:8-10
(NKJV)

Thus
says
the
LORD
to
His
anointed,
To
Cyrus,
whose
right
hand
I
have
held
To
subdue
nations
before
him
And
loose
the
armor
of
kings,
To
open
before
him
the
double
doors,
So
that
the
gates
will
not
be
shut:
2
I
will
go
before
you
And
make
the
crooked
places
straight;
I
will
break
in
pieces
the
gates
of
bronze
And
cut
the
bars
of
iron.
Isaiah
45:
1-2
(NKJV)

I
will
give
you
the
treasures
of
darkness
And
hidden
riches
of
secret
places,
That
you
may
know
that
I,
the
LORD,
Who
call
you
by
your
name,
Am
the
God
of
Israel.
4
For
Jacob
My
servants
sake,
And
Israel
My
elect,
I
have
even
called
you
by
your
name;
I
have
named
you,
though
you
have
not
known
Me.
Isaiah
45:
3-4
(NKJV)
10
to
the
intent
that
now
the
manifold
wisdom
of
God
might
be
made
known
by
the
church
to
the
principalities

powers
in
the
heavenly
places,
11according
to
the
eternal

accomplished

Jesus
our
Lord,
12
in
whom
we
have
boldness
and
access
with

through
faith

Him.

Therefore
I
ask
that
you
do
not
lose
heart
at
my
tribulations

you,

think,
according
to
the
power
that
works
in
us,

Who
says
of
Cyrus,
He
is
My
shepherd,
And
he
shall
perform
all
My
pleasure,
Saying
to
Jerusalem,
You
shall
be
built,
And
to
the
temple,
Your
foundation
shall
be
laid.

Therefore
remember
that
you,
once
Gentiles
in
the
fleshwho
are
called
And
repair
its
damages;
I
will
raise
up
its
ruins,
And
rebuild
it
as
in
the
days
of
old;
12
That
they
may
possess
the
remnant
of
Edom,
And
all
the
Gentiles
who
are
called
by
My
name,
Says
the
LORD
who
does
this
thing.

Arise,
shine;
For
your
light
has
come!
And
the
glory
of
the
LORD
is
risen
upon
you.
2
For
behold,
the
darkness
shall
cover
the
earth,
And
deep
darkness
the
people;
But
the
LORD
will
arise
over
you,
And
His
glory
will
be
seen
upon
you.
3
The
Gentiles
shall
come
to
your
light,
And
kings
to
the
brightness
of
your
rising.

Lift
up
your
eyes
all
around,
and
see:
They
all
gather
together,
they
come
to
you;
Your
sons
shall
come
from
afar,
And
your
daughters
shall
be
nursed
at
your
side.
5
Then
you
shall
see
and
become
radiant,
And
your
heart
shall
swell
with
joy;
Because
the
abundance
of
the
sea
shall
be
turned
to
you,
The
wealth
of
the
Gentiles
shall
come
to
you.

multitude
of
camels
shall
cover
your
land,

and
Ephah;
All

shall
proclaim
the
praises
of
the
LORD.
Isaiah
60:
6
(NKJV)
8 Who are these who fly like a cloud, And like doves to their roosts? 9 Surely
the
coastlands
shall
wait
for
Me;
And
the
ships
of
Tarshish
will
come
first,
To
bring
your
sons
from
afar,
Their
silver
and
their
gold
with
them,
To
the
name
of
the
LORD
your
God,
And
to
the
Holy
One
of
Israel,
Because
He
has
glorified
you.
10
The
sons
of
foreigners
shall
build
up
your
walls,
And
their
kings
shall
minister
to
you;
For
in
My
wrath
I
struck
you,
But
in
My
favor
I
have
had
mercy
on
you.
Isaiah
60:
8-10
(NKJV)
11
Therefore
your
gates
shall
be
open
continually;
They
shall
not
be
shut
day
or
night,
That
men
may
bring
to
you
the
wealth
of
the
Gentiles,
And
their
kings
in
procession.
12
For
the
nation
and
kingdom
which
will
not
serve
you
shall
perish,
And
those
nations
shall
be
utterly
ruined.
13
The
glory
of
Lebanon
shall
come
to
you,
The
cypress,
the
pine,
and
the

place
of
My
sanctuary;
And
I
will
make
the
place
of
My
feet
glorious.

60:
11-13
(NKJV)
14
Also
the
sons
of
those
who
afflicted
you
Shall
come
bowing
to
you,
And
all
those
who
despised
you
shall
fall
prostrate
at
the
soles
of
your
feet;
And
they
shall
call
you
The
City
of
the
LORD,
Zion
of
the
Holy
One
of
Israel.
15
Whereas
you
have
been
forsaken
and
hated,
So
that
no
one
went
through
you,
I
will
make
you
an
eternal
excellence,
A
joy
of
many
generations.

Savior
And
your
Redeemer,
the
Mighty
One
of
Jacob.

of
stones,
iron.
I
will
also
make
your
officers
peace,
And
your
magistrates
righteousness.
18
Violence
shall
no
longer
be
heard
in
your
land,
Neither
wasting
nor
destruction
within
your
borders;
But
you
shall
call
your
walls
Salvation,
And
your
gates
Praise.
