  1. Just how hard was it?<\/em> Here is the biochemical definition of the \u201chardness\u201d level of the people: \u201cBecause I know how stubborn you are (Your neck is like an iron sinew And your forehead bronze)\u201d (verse 4).\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n
  2. And how deep?<\/em> The sin is too deep: \u201cI know that you are treacherous, That you were called a rebel from birth\u201d (verse 8).<\/span><\/li>\n
  3. Don\u2019t say I never told you so<\/em>. God knows this people, and he doesn\u2019t want to leave a margin for error. Therefore, he relayed in advance his plans for history, so that it be known that it is God and no other that stands behind them: \u201cTherefore I told you long beforehand, Announced things to you ere they happened\u2014 That you might not say, \u201cMy idol caused them…\u201d (verse 5). Unfortunately, and according to verse 8 – it doesn\u2019t help: \u201cYou had never heard, you had never known\u05e5\u201d<\/span><\/li>\n
  4. With love<\/em>. Cyrus is not a random choice. \u201cHe whom the LORD loves Shall work His will against Babylon…\u201d (verse 14).\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n
  5. The path to peace and fertility<\/em>. Want a river of peace, and many, many offspring? \u201cIf only you would heed My commands! Then your prosperity would be like a river, Your triumph like the waves of the sea. Your offspring would be as many as the sand, Their issue as many as its grains. Their name would never be cut off Or obliterated from before Me\u201d (18-19). On the other hand: \u201cThere is no safety\u2014said the LORD\u2014for the wicked.\u201d (verse 22). <\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n","image":{"ID":86314,"id":86314,"title":"Points to
