Nebuchadnezzar is called the \"servant\" of Jehovah (Jer 25:9); (Jer 27:6); (Jer 43:10) This, with the designation \"My shepherd\" (Isa 44:28) also a Messianic title, marks Cyrus as that startling exception, a Gentile type of Christ. The points are:\n(1) both are irresistible conquerors of Israel's enemies. (Isa 45:1); (Rev 19:19-21).\n(2) both are restorers of the holy city (Isa 44:28); (Zac 14:1-11).\n(3) through both is the name of the one true God glorified (Isa 45:6); (Co1 15:28).\ncreate evil\nHebrew, \"ra\" translated \"sorrow,\" \"wretchedness,\" \"adversity,\" \"afflictions,\" \"calamities,\" but never translated sin.
