2 | QUESTION CONCERNING KING CYRUS | Bible general Archive 1 | Biynah | 46170 | ||
Part of the initiation of the Jewish Kings were the annointing with oil. This was also true with the High Priest. This symbolized that God had placed them in this high position. In Isaiah 45:1 we are told that God appointed Cyrus to be king. At this time Cyrus was the ruler of most of the ancient world -- including the Jews (therefore God's appointment of this king is crucial -- for no one can rule over God's people unless He appoints them). Now, it appears that you are somehow coorelating annointing with oil to be equal with the Holy Spirit. While in some cases oil represents the Holy Spirit -- it does not always. So for God to stir up his Spirit in Ezra and for God to have purposely chosen and appointed Cyrus are two different things. | ||||||
