I have heard some politically interested conservative Bible teachers compare Trump to Cyrus-- a pagan God raised up to preserve God's people. May it be that Trump was raised up by God for similar purposes in this day. Many expositors also believe that Cyrus came to know and submit to the living God. May this be true of our new President as well.

A friend of mine on Facebook was not a big Trump guy and was on the fence what to do in the general election. He prayed about it and he said that one of the individuals whom God gave him to think about was Cyrus.

A day or two after he posted that, I saw this:

He voted Trump. I really believe there was a divine hand guiding this election.

There are traditional respected opinions that Cyrus was the son of Queen Esther and King Ahasuerus. He was born a Jew.

FWIW, here is an interesting Catholic homily where Trump is compared to Cyrus and the Hildabeast is compared to Antiochus (17 minutes long, worth the listen):

A particularly apt contrast between the two.

I still say that the Trump meeting with the inner city black pastors validated his sincerity to Christ. They prayed together and the black pastors came away convinced that Donald Trump can be trusted.

Donald became pro-life in 2011 and never turned back, never wavered in his new commitment to life.

I know very well, quite near exactly why Donald strayed and walked around lost years ago. I can see the reasons why very clearly. But now he is 70 years old and sees his mortality and legacy. He is a Christian but remains practical in his political and business decisions. He is not a priest, definitely not a Saint. He is a warrior-statesman who bows before Our Eternal Father.

Yes, I believe this flawed man is chosen by Our Lord to rescue the free world from the jaws of Hell.
