If Cyrus king of Persia practiced the Zoroastrian faith and God (presumably Jehovah) moved his heart (2 Chronicles 36:22) and Cyrus prayed to him (Ezra 1:2), what are the biblical bases that Zoroastrians worship a different god than the God of the Bible?
**2 Chronicles 36:22 NIV**
> In the first year of Cyrus king of Persia, in order to fulfill the
> word of the Lord spoken by Jeremiah, the Lord moved the heart of Cyrus
> king of Persia to make a proclamation throughout his realm and also to
> put it in writing:
>
> “This is what Cyrus king of Persia says:
>
> “‘The Lord, the God of heaven, has given me all the kingdoms of the
> earth and he has appointed me to build a temple for him at Jerusalem
> in Judah. Any of his people among you may go up, and may the Lord
> their God be with them.’”
**Ezra 1:2 NIV**
> “This is what Cyrus king of Persia says:
>
> “‘The Lord, the God of heaven, has given me all the kingdoms of the
> earth and he has appointed me to build a temple for him at Jerusalem
> in Judah.
I am not looking for opinion, but the biblical bases for either position.
