just so we get some correct biblical interpretations because SOME PEOPLE misuse & abuse it—saw this quote today by mileikowsky (netanyahu):

“I want to tell you that 2,500 years ago, Cyrus the Great, the King of Persia, liberated the Jews. And today, a Jewish state is creating the means to liberate the Persian people.”

Isaiah’s prophecy about Cyrus (Isaiah 45) talks about the descendants of Jacob (Israel). Israel is the new name given to Jacob by the Most High. IT IS NOT THE NAME OF A GOVERNMENT OR A STATE. OR EVEN A GEOGRAPHIC PLACE. It is a familial or even tribal genetic lineage that follows PATRILINEAL heritage. NOT MATRILINEAL (Talmud/Jewish). The modern JEWISH identity has NOTHING TO DO WITH the ISRAEL or the ISRAELITE community referred to in the bible as all of those people are descendants of JACOB. You can’t just name something “Israel” and walk around claiming the meaning & context of it is the same like calling any yellow painted metal gold when the metal contains absolutely NO GOLD karats. That is called FRAUD.

Ezra 1-4 which fulfils Isaiah’s prophecy refers to the ISRAELITES. NOT JEWISH PEOPLE, STATE, OR COMMUNITY.

Ezra 2:70 “The priests, the Levites, the musicians, the gatekeepers and the temple servants settled in their own towns, along with some of the other people, and the rest of the Israelites settled in their towns.” —NIV

whatever, mileikovsky, cray cray.
