WORKING THROUGH ALL OF HIS CREATION
Ezra 2:2 (1 Esdras 2:2 LXX)
"Thus says Cyrus the king of the Persians: Israel's Lord, the Most High, revealed and indicated to me, the king of the inhabited world, that I should build a house for Him at Jerusalem in Judea."
Encouraging Words
This is an interesting turn of events. Here we have Cyrus who is the king of the Persians. These are the same Persians that have captured the nation of Israel. And here we have God, Israel's Lord, the Lord Most High moving him to build a temple for Him. Many would consider Cyrus a pagan and yet God worked through him to do His work. So, God not only works through those who follow Him, but also those who oppose Him. Glory be to God?
