King Cyrus of Persia was used by God to deliver the Jewish people from their Babylonian captivity. They returned to Yerushalayim and rebuilt their city and the second Temple.

This modern-day King Cyrus has also called for the rebuilding of the Temple. When that happens, the greatest exodus of Jewish people from the nations will follow (Jeremiah 16:14) along with a great apostasy and a false messiah in sitting in the Temple (2 Thessalonians 2).
