Answer Details
Cyrus, the king of Persia, proclaimed that he had been charged by the God of heaven to build a house in Jerusalem. This was because the Jewish people had been exiled to Babylon and their temple in Jerusalem had been destroyed. The God of heaven had inspired Cyrus to allow the Jews to return to Jerusalem and rebuild their temple. This was prophesied by the prophet Isaiah, who referred to Cyrus by name over a century before he was born. So, Cyrus was fulfilling the prophecy of Isaiah and was being used by the God of heaven to accomplish His plan for the Jewish people.
