Isaiah 45

It took me about 5 minutes to read this chapter. I wonder what Cyrus, king of Medes and Persians, thought when he heard this passage read to him? Isaiah had been killed years before Cyrus marched his troops into Babylon. I wonder if it was Daniel who read him these words. Was it these words that moved the king to begin the process of returning the jewish exiles to the land of Judah? Did Cyrus begin to question the idols that he had been raised to revere? Did he bow before the wood, stone, or gold figures anymore? Did he understand that there is only one God, who sees history from beginning to end? How did this king respond to this revelation form the God of Israel?
