There was concern over the stability of northeast Syria last winter when Trump announced a "full" and "rapid" withdrawal from Syria as Turkey launched a military campaign in the Afrin region.

Televangelist Pat Robertson and former presidential candidate and Fox News host Mike Huckabee opposed Trump's decision to pull back troops, which reportedly also goes against the recommendations of top officials in the State Department and Pentagon. He is in it for himself.

Travis Weber, vice president for policy and government affairs at the social conservative lobbying group Family Research Council, told The Christian Post in a statement that protecting Northeast Syria against Turkish threats is in the U.

Who is Mystery Babylon in Revelations?

Commission on International Religious Freedom, also voiced concern. This apparently included -- to a limited extent -- the conquered Babylonians themselves. Ancient Babylonians tracked time precisely by the position of the stars and recorded major events in each year. Fragments of the Babylonian chronicle of Nabonidus the king that Cyrus defeated have survived.

In a few key passages Cyrus himself is mentioned; several corroborate the account of the Cyrus cylinder. The setup available here is religiously bleak. The Babylonian gods have failed to appear at numerous rituals. Then Cyrus appears, and immediately the Babylonian army defects to his side:. Th[ey handed him over] to Cyrus.

The silver, gold, goods, property, [ In the month Ajaru, he marched to the land of… He killed its king, took his possessions, and stationed his own garrison there [ When Cyrus did battle at Opis on the [bank of] the Tigris against the army of Akkad, the people of Akkad retreated. He carried off the plunder and slaughtered the people.

On the fourteenth day Sippar was captured without a battle. Nabonidus fled.

On the sixteenth day, Ugbaru, governor of Gutium, and the army of Cyrus, without battle they entered Babylon. Afterwards, after Nabonidus retreated, he was captured in Babylon. Until the end of the month, the shield- bearing troops from Gutium surrounded the gates of Esagil. But interruption of rites in Esagil or the other temples there was not, and no date for a performance was missed.

On the third day of the month Arahsamna, Cyrus entered Babylon. There was peace in the city while Cyrus, his greeting to Babylon in its entirety spoke. Gubaru, his district officer, appointed the district officers in Babylon. Nabonidus Chronicle, ii. Cyrus' propaganda is apparently spread by Babylonian texts as well. Or, less cynically: for the Babylonians too, being conquered by Cyrus is apparently a good thing. The Babylonian chronicles are not widely known outside of scholarly circles. The text is admittedly quite fragmentary and interpretation involves rather a lot of filling-in-the-gaps.

But the figure of Cyrus as world ruler chosen by God to free people from their unholy rulers and now beloved by his new subjects also appears almost two dozen times in the most widely read book ever written. The Hebrew Bible mentions Cyrus twenty-three times, every time in glowing terms, usually as a deliberately chosen instrument of God, usually in connection with the worship of the Hebrew God particularly the rebuilding of the temple , often in explicitly messianic terms.

Any of his people among you may go up to Jerusalem in Judah and build the temple of the Lord, the God of Israel, the God who is in Jerusalem, and may their God be with them.

And in any locality where survivors may now be living, the people are to provide them with silver and gold, with goods and livestock, and with freewill offerings for the temple of God in Jerusalem. All their neighbors assisted them with articles of silver and gold, with goods and livestock, and with valuable gifts, in addition to all the freewill offerings.

Moreover, King Cyrus brought out the articles belonging to the temple of the Lord, which Nebuchadnezzar had carried away from Jerusalem and had placed in the temple of his god. Cyrus king of Persia had them brought by Mithredath the treasurer, who counted them out to Sheshbazzar the prince of Judah.

Ezra 1. The Persian Cyrus, who has no personal interest in Hebrew religion, nevertheless benefits this non-Persian people by following the command of their God. Isaiah Again the other people's God selects here literally 'anoints' Cyrus as their religious savior. The gates of all enemies open before him, as the gates of Babylon opened before him in the Cyrus Cylinder and the Nabonidus Chronicle. The Hebrew text declares Cyrus God's anointed without making him one of the chosen people.

For Herodotus' Greeks, the Persians are a great enemy. But Herodotus does not villainize Persians as a people, and the story he tells of Cyrus' rise to power is consistent with Near Eastern ruler mythologies and with later Greek and Persian accounts of Cyrus himself that may however have been influenced by Herodotus' version. Now, when it finally comes time to overthrow the king of the Medes, he maneuvers the Persians to want themselves to rebel, by showing them how much better life in freedom can be:. When Cyrus heard this, he considered how most cunningly he might persuade the Persians to revolt; and this he thought most apt to the occasion, and this he did: writing what he would on a paper, he gathered an assembly of the Persians, and then unfolded the paper and declared that therein Astyages appointed him leader of the Persian armies.

On these hang all the other Persians. The chief tribe is that of the Pasargadae; to them belongs the clan of the Achaemenidae, the royal house of Persia. The other Persian tribes are the Panthialaei, the Derusiaei, and the Germanii, all tillers of the soil, and the Dai, the Mardi, the Dropici, the Sagartii, all wandering herdsmen. So when they all came with sickles as commanded, Cyrus bade them clear and make serviceable in one day a certain thorny tract of Persia, of eighteen or twenty furlongs each way in extent. When the Persians came on the next day he made them sit and feast in a meadow.

After dinner he asked them which pleased them best, their task of yesterday or their present state. They answered that the difference was great: all yesterday they had had nought but evil, to-day nought but good. Now, therefore, do as I bid you, and win your freedom. For I think that I myself was born by a marvellous providence to take this work in hand; and I deem you full as good men as the Medes in war and in all else. All this is true wherefore now revolt from Astyages with all speed! Herodotus, Histories, 1. The command of this king brings his subjects out of slavery; the effect of following this king is happiness.

Moreover, the group Cyrus liberates is not a monolithic 'Persia', which has not yet been constituted as a unity. Rather, Herodotus emphasizes the diversity of Cyrus' soon-to-be-Persian-followers by listing the various tribes and their professions, all of which choose to follow Cyrus together. As he first comes to power, Cyrus leads the many sub-groups of Persians; soon his benevolent rule will extend beyond all the Persian tribes to include all the non-Persian peoples in the region as well.

Note Herodotus' emphasis on the importance of Persian discontent toward their rulers. Compare the role of majority dissatisfaction in many populist power structures, discussed in an another module of this course. But when we reflected that there was o ne Cyrus, the Persian, who reduced to obedience a vast number of men and cities and nations , we were then compelled to change our opinion and decide that to rule men might be a task neither impossible nor even difficult, if one should only go about it in an intelligent manner.

At all events, we know that people obeyed Cyrus willingly, although some of them were distant from him a journey of many days, and others of many months; others, although they had never seen him, and still others who knew well that they never should see him. Nevertheless they were all willing to be his subjects.

Xenophon, Cyropaedia, 1. The Cyropaedia proceeds to explain how this thing that Xenophon once thought generally impossible for any human could possibly be true. The answer is: well, Cyrus was apparently really that Great. The rest of the work is about exactly what makes him so Great.
