Esaïe 41.25

A cette sommation, les idoles restent muettes (versets 21 à 24). Eh bien, moi, reprend l'Eternel, j'ai suscité Cyrus, et ce qui prouve que c'est bien moi qui accomplis cela, c'est que je l'ai d'avance annoncé, ce que nul de vous n'avait su faire (versets 26 et 27).

D'après ce verset, Cyrus arrive du septentrion, puis de l'Orient (comparez verset 2). Le prophète ne veut donner qu'une indication générale.

Cyrus est appelé celui qui invoque mon nom (de l'Eternel). Nous avons déjà remarqué (21.9, note) que les Perses étaient ennemis des images (Hérodote, I, 131). En la personne de Cyrus, Dieu donne donc la victoire sur le paganisme grossier à une religion plus pure et plus rapprochée de la religion israélite. Avec lui s'ouvre une nouvelle ère dans l'histoire ; c'est la fin de l'ancien Orient, le commencement d'un monde nouveau. Mais le terme invoquer mon nom exprime quelque chose de plus encore. L'édit par lequel Cyrus libéra les Juifs (2Chroniques 36.23 ; Esdras 1.2-3) nous montre que ce conquérant rendit dans une certaine mesure hommage à l'Eternel et reconnut sa grandeur (comme l'avaient fait avant lui momentanément ses prédécesseurs, Nébucadnetsar, Darius, Daniel 2.47 ; 4.34 ; 6.26). Il mit Jéhova au nombre de ses dieux, et désirait en faisant rebâtir son temple s'assurer sa faveur et son secours.

Comme sur la boue : comparez 10.6.

      43 Then I beat them as small as the dust of the earth. I crushed them as the mire of the streets, and spread them abroad.

      Esdras 1

      2 "Thus says Cyrus king of Persia, 'Yahweh, the God of heaven, has given me all the kingdoms of the earth; and he has commanded me to build him a house in Jerusalem, which is in Judah.
      3 Whoever there is among you of all his people, may his God be with him, and let him go up to Jerusalem, which is in Judah, and build the house of Yahweh, the God of Israel (he is God), which is in Jerusalem.

      Esaïe 41

      2 Who has raised up one from the east? Who called him to his foot in righteousness? He hands over nations to him, and makes him rule over kings. He gives them like the dust to his sword, like the driven stubble to his bow.
      25 "I have raised up one from the north, and he has come; from the rising of the sun, one who calls on my name; and he shall come on rulers as on mortar, and as the potter treads clay.

      Esaïe 45

      1 Thus says Yahweh to his anointed, to Cyrus, whose right hand I have held, to subdue nations before him, and strip kings of their armor; to open the doors before him, and the gates shall not be shut:
      2 "I will go before you, and make the rough places smooth. I will break the doors of brass in pieces, and cut apart the bars of iron.
      3 I will give you the treasures of darkness, and hidden riches of secret places, that you may know that it is I, Yahweh, who call you by your name, even the God of Israel.
      4 For Jacob my servant's sake, and Israel my chosen, I have called you by your name. I have surnamed you, though you have not known me.
      5 I am Yahweh, and there is none else. Besides me, there is no God. I will strengthen you, though you have not known me;
      6 that they may know from the rising of the sun, and from the west, that there is none besides me. I am Yahweh, and there is no one else.
      13 I have raised him up in righteousness, and I will make straight all his ways. He shall build my city, and he shall let my exiles go free, not for price nor reward," says Yahweh of Armies.

      Esaïe 46

      10 declaring the end from the beginning, and from ancient times things that are not yet done; saying, My counsel shall stand, and I will do all my pleasure;
      11 calling a ravenous bird from the east, the man of my counsel from a far country; yes, I have spoken, I will also bring it to pass; I have purposed, I will also do it.

      Jérémie 50

      3 For out of the north there comes up a nation against her, which shall make her land desolate, and none shall dwell therein: they are fled, they are gone, both man and animal.

      27 Set up a standard in the land, blow the trumpet among the nations, prepare the nations against her, call together against her the kingdoms of Ararat, Minni, and Ashkenaz: appoint a marshal against her; cause the horses to come up as the rough canker worm.
      28 Prepare against her the nations, the kings of the Medes, its governors, and all its deputies, and all the land of their dominion.
      29 The land trembles and is in pain; for the purposes of Yahweh against Babylon do stand, to make the land of Babylon a desolation, without inhabitant.

      Michée 7

      10 Then my enemy will see it, and shame will cover her who said to me, where is Yahweh your God? Then my enemy will see me and will cover her shame. Now she will be trodden down like the mire of the streets.

      Zacharie 10

      5 They shall be as mighty men, treading down muddy streets in the battle; and they shall fight, because Yahweh is with them; and the riders on horses will be confounded.
