Ezra 1: I Want to Think About Cyrus Again

The Bible is the best history book ever written. Thousands of people have written histories and biographies. Research into the past is one of the most popular careers in every generation. And it can be very enlightening. But Bible history is different: It is always right. It gives information that can only be from God. It tells us things that provide lasting spiritual lessons. The histories in the world that speak of Cyrus do not give us the things we have in the Bible, which include his clear understanding of the One true God. Read it and think of your own understanding of God.
