The "Cyrus Calling" refers to the biblical account of Cyrus, the king of Persia, who was called by God to facilitate the return of the Israelites from exile and to rebuild the Temple in Jerusalem, as prophesied in Isaiah 44:28 and fulfilled in Ezra 1:1-4. This event is significant in the Bible as it demonstrates God's sovereignty over nations and His faithfulness to His people, as stated in Isaiah 45:13, where God says, "I will raise up Cyrus in righteousness." The Cyrus Calling also serves as a testament to God's ability to use non-believers to accomplish His will, highlighting the theme of divine providence found throughout the Bible, including in Romans 8:28, where it is written that God works all things together for good. Through the Cyrus Calling, God's plan of redemption and restoration is further revealed, showcasing His ultimate control over human history.
