F.B. Meyer emphasizes that the Lord stirred up the spirit of Cyrus to fulfill the prophecy of the return of the Jewish captives from Babylon, as foretold by Jeremiah and Isaiah. He highlights the importance of prayer, as exemplified by Daniel, in influencing leaders and initiating divine movements. Meyer notes that while God can stir hearts, obedience is essential, and sadly, only a few of the Jewish captives responded to the call to return. He encourages believers to rise up and act whenever they feel a divine stirring in their lives. Ultimately, the sermon calls for faith and responsiveness to God's leading.

F.B. Meyer emphasizes that God is capable of providing far more than we can imagine, as illustrated through the story of Amaziah, who failed to recognize the danger of allying with the ungodly. He warns that true fellowship with God requires a complete renunciation of worldly partnerships, as relying on them leads to forfeiting divine aid. Meyer encourages believers to trust solely in God for victory, asserting that even without worldly support, God can deliver them from their enemies. He also highlights the importance of understanding that while sin can be forgiven, its consequences may linger, urging believers to consider the long-term effects of their actions.
