Referring to Cyrus in Isa. 44:28 and Isa. 45:1, typifying Christ as the Servant of Jehovah. God loves Israel, loves His kingdom, signified by the city of Jerusalem, and loves His house, signified by the temple. In subduing Babylon and releasing the captives of Israel, and in charging Israel and supporting them to build up the temple and the city of their God (Ezra 1), Cyrus did God’s pleasure. Thus, God loved Cyrus. It was a matter of love for God to use a Gentile king to do what was in His heart.
