* Unlike the predictions of men, often attributed to their false gods, Bible prophecies originate with the One who proclaimed: “From the beginning I foretell the outcome, and from long ago the things that have not yet been done. ” ​ — Isaiah 46: 10.
اگر بابِلیان از نقشهٔ کوروش آگاه بودند ،‏ می‌توانستند تمامی دروازه‌هایی که به رود باز می‌شد ،‏ ببندند .‏
