The Amazing Prophecy of Isaiah

Who does the prophet Isaiah predict will play a crucial role in the return of the remnant of Judah to Jerusalem?

Is it A) King David, B) King Solomon, C) Cyrus the Great, or D) Nebuchadnezzar?

The chosen one of YHWH to enable the remnant of Judah to return to Jerusalem is:

C) Cyrus the Great

In the Book of Isaiah, the prophet Isaiah predicts that Cyrus the Great, the Persian emperor, will be the chosen one of YHWH to facilitate the return of the exiled Hebrews to Jerusalem.

Isaiah refers to Cyrus as the 'anointed' one (messiah, in Hebrew) who will be used by YHWH to deliver the Hebrews and allow them to return to their homeland.

Despite the expectations of a messiah from within their own ranks, Isaiah proclaims that Cyrus, a foreign ruler, will be the instrument of divine will to enable the exiled Hebrews to return to Jerusalem after the Babylonian Captivity.

Cyrus indeed fulfills this prophecy by conquering Babylon and authorizing the return of the Hebrews to Jerusalem for the rebuilding of their Temple.
