As God's -anointed- Cyrus holds a peculiar position among theologians and Bible scholars, as to whether he was a saved man or not. All to often we try to determine others' salvation rather than what the scripture is getting over to us about what it says about what it is pointing out. We see Cyrus as a type of Jesu, delivering God's people, shepherding them, and making a proclamation to rebuild the temple losing whoever from bondage in Babylon, which seems to be the key issue.
