“I am Cyrus”
Harry Truman’s support for the creation of the State of Israel was rooted in his interpretation of Scripture.
Paul Charles Merkley
In November 1953, just a few months after leaving the presidency of the United States, Harry S. Truman was brought to the Jewish Theological Seminary in New York to meet a group of Jewish dignitaries. Accompanying him was his good friend Eddie Jacobson, a comrade from his Army days and former business partner in a short-lived men’s haberdashery 30 years earlier. Jacobson introduced his friend to the assembled theologians: “This is the man who helped create the State of Israel.” Truman retorted, “What do you mean, ‘helped to create’? I am Cyrus. I am Cyrus.”

The difference being is that Truman loved the idea of the Jewish people having their own land back . He was helping them get it . The bible says that the Assyrian is going to be the one who desecrates the Temple , we call him the antichrist , he desecrates after an agreement to rebuild it .
