Answer Details
In addition to the declaration of freedom to the exiles in Babylon, King Cyrus ordered for the free will offering for the house of God in Jerusalem. After conquering Babylon, King Cyrus gave the Jewish people permission to return to their homeland and rebuild the temple that was destroyed by the Babylonians. He even provided them with funds to support the project, and he ordered the return of the temple vessels that were taken by the Babylonians. This act of kindness by King Cyrus was viewed by the Jewish people as a fulfillment of the prophecy that was made by Jeremiah, that after 70 years of captivity, the Jews would return to their homeland.
