Cyrus the Great reigned about 550-530BC per Wikipedia. Isaiah died in the 7th century BC per the same source. Isaiah was used by God to state intent to give Cyrus a surname, which I assume would be "the Great". Did Isaiah predict Cyrus?
>...Who says of Cyrus, "He is My shepherd and will accomplish all that I please; he will say of Jerusalem, 'Let it be rebuilt.' And of the Temple, 'Let its foundation be laid.' "
This is what the LORD says to his anointed, to Cyrus whose right hand I take hold to subdue nations before him and to strip kings of their armor... (Isaiah 44:28-45:1) >In the first year of Cyrus king of Persia, in order to fulfill the word of the LORD spoken by Jeremiah (Jeremiah 25, seventy years exile), the LORD moved the heart of Cyrus king of Persia to make a proclamation throughout his realm and to put it in writing... (Ezra 1:1)
