2 | QUESTION CONCERNING KING CYRUS | Bible general Archive 1 | slillis20 | 486 | ||
This is a great question! When we concider the context of both passages. The word "annointed" in the OT referred to the relationship that Israels first two kings, Saul and David, had with God. Since Israel was in exile, Cyrus was acting as her king, to bring about blessing. This he did when he releaded Israel and braought judgement upon the nations. In Ezra 1, God moved Cyrus to accomplish the things that he wanted done. God "stirred" him up, probably planting the thoughts in his head in some way, although that is pure conjecture, and then nudging him to do them. I believe that the main difference that, in Isaiah, we are presented with Cyrus' position as one who had God's hand upon him to bring blessing. In Ezra, we are presented with one who was "moved" by God's hand to bring that blessing. Again, good question!!! Sean Lillis Emmaus Bible College |
