28 That saith of Cyrus, He is my shepherd, and shall perform all my pleasure: even saying to Jerusalem, Thou shalt be built; and to the temple, Thy foundation shall be laid.

45 Thus saith the Lord to his anointed, to Cyrus, whose right hand I have holden, to subdue nations before him; and I will loose the loins of kings, to open before him the two leaved gates; and the gates shall not be shut;

Isaiah 44:28,Isaiah 45:1 - KJV

Isaiah wrote that prophecy some 150 years before Cyrus was born.

He was counseled by his wise men he was mentioned in the Hebrew Scriptures,

and according to some historians from long ago he acted to fulfill them accordingly,

setting forth to conquer Babylon and set the Jews free.
