KING CYRUS GOD'S SHEPHERD Ezra I, 1-11; ii, 64-70?Oct. 15 "Bt rctclncth not 17is angrr fontcr, fcccanst Be dcli(,I.terh in m<rrp."?}li, ah ril, 19. HE heathen gods nre all venge A fu! The Gcd of the Bibb' alone lays elnlra to being a |f^ God of love, "whoso mercy en dureth forever." as cmo of tbe Psalms repeats again ana ngnm. .viu>. uvn terribly our God of Wisdom. Justice, Love and Tower has been misrepresented to the world, and to the Church as a God aellgfcting in the eternal tor ture of the vast majority of His orea tures; for If such were His provi- \ />] slon for them, f / and ne know the *7 ginning. It would surely prove that and intended ft their torture. But /r I when our eyes open to n proper Interpretation of God's Word, how His character becomes glorious before our eyes and commands our love and our devotion! Today's study relates to the release of the Israelites from their Babykmlac r captivity, and their return to Palestine This return was tn exact fulfill men i at the Lord's Word at the month ol Jeremiah, the Prophet who specifically foretold the destruction at thedty.aw! also that tt wooM be seventy yean before the return of Its In habitants.Jeremiah xxv, 13; xxix, 10; compass II Chronicles xxxvi, 22, 23. Wa suggest a careful leading of Um Scriptures above cited, to estaMM the tart that the seventy years predicted related to the deaolatloo of th< dty of Jerusalem and of their lain! and not merely to the captivity of th* people, some of whom went into cap tlvity twenty years before the city was destroyed. Many, in applylnf this, have started the seventy years v from the beginning of the first cap tlvity, and thus are twenty years ou: of the way. One of the most wonderful things connected with the story of Israel's release from Babylonian captivity Is that Cyrus was named by the Prophet Isaiah in advance, and called "God's Shepherd"?Cyrus Is My Shepherd, and stall perform all My pleasure, even saying to Jerusalem, 'Thou shalt be built; and to the temple, thy foundation shall be laid" (Isaiah xllv, 28). Profane history gives Cyru9 a very honorable name, calling him "gracious. Clemen" and just, treating men as men, and not as mere tools to be used and cast aside?a conqueror of quite a dlf ferent type from any the world had previously seen." King Cyrus' New Method Nebuchadnezzar's theory of government was to bring representatives of the peoples of all lands to Babylon and T!:r>ro make them homogeneous, cbooshi? tbe test of every nationality But \\ !>ea Cyrus came upon the scene, as the conqueror of the Babylonian empire, Darius, the Mede. being under him, he found that the theory of his predecessor had not worked out satisfactorily. The mixed people of Chaldea were not patriotic. Cyrus adopted the opposite plan for governing the world. He not only gave liberty to the Jews to return to their own land, and gave them assistance back, but he did the same for the people of other nations, exiled In Babylon. A brief epitome of the giving of his proclamation of liberty to the Jews is. "Thus saith Cyrus, King of Persia: All the kingdoms of ^ earth hath Jehova^ God of heaven, given ! unto me; anc* has charged me a^/^vISL t0 nim 8 housv Jlt. ,Terusn Judah Whoever * Hfo-jfththere 1 s among ~ *'~ rf you of all his people, h i s God Ttu' rrtum from Rrb with him, and ylon' let him go to Jenunioin which is In Juduh. and build the house of Jehovah, the God of Israe! (He Is the God>, which Is at Jerusa Jem; and whosoever Is left. In any phice where he 6ojourneth [unpre pared for the Journey], let the men of his place help him with silver and with gold and with goods and with beasts, beside the free-will offering for the house of God. which Is at Jerusalem." Dr. Peloubet says of this time. "The exiles brought together the representatives of the divided kingdom and made one nation where there had been two welding the twelve tribes together like iron in a furnace." God represented this union through Ezeklel (xxxvli. 15 2S\ by two sticks. On one was written "Judah" and on the other "The Iloust of Israel." These sticks were joined together. "And they shall become ont in thine hand." This was done in tin presence of the people, to show that the exiles of Israel, curried to Babylon, It. C. when Samaria was destroyed. were to unite with the captives of Judah. "And I will make them one nation, and one king shall be king over them all; and they shall be no more two nations, neither shall they ho divided Into two kingdoms any more at oil." Thus we see that there were no "ten lost tribes," for whom there has been so much seeking. 1 ' ' . Tax Notice. I <?
