The Cyrus Cylinder
July 4, 2015
The Lord stirred up the spirit of Cyrus king of Persia.
Ezra 1:1
In 1879, archaeologists discovered a remarkable little item in an area now known as Iraq (biblical Babylon). Just 9 inches long, the Cyrus Cylinder records something that King Cyrus of Persia did 2,500 years ago. It says that Cyrus allowed a group of people to return to their homeland and rebuild their holy cities.
Its the same story told in Ezra 1. There we read that the Lord stirred up the spirit of Cyrus king of Persia to make a proclamation (v. 1). And in that proclamation, Cyrus said he was releasing the captives in Babylon to go home to Jerusalem, re-establish their homes, and rebuild their temple (vv. 2-5).
But theres more to the story. Daniel confessed his sins and his peoples sins and pleaded with God to end the Babylonian captivity (Dan. 9). In response to Daniels prayer, God sent an angel to speak to Daniel (v. 21). Later He moved Cyrus to release the Hebrews. (See also Jer. 25:11-12; 39:10.)
Together, the Cyrus Cylinder and Gods Word combine to show us that the kings heart was changed and he allowed the exiled Hebrews to go home and worship.
This story has great implications for us today. In a world that seems out of control, we can rest assured that God can move the hearts of leaders. We read in Proverbs 21:1 that the kings heart is in the hand of the Lord. And Romans 13:1 says that there is no authority except from God.
The Lord, who is able to change our own hearts as well as the hearts of our leaders, can be trusted for He is in control. Lets ask Him to work.
Dear Father, the world so often seems out of control. We know You are sovereign over everything. We pray that Your will be done in our homeland and in the hearts of our leaders.
Rather than complain, pray.
:
Ezra is one of the Old Testament books that deals with the Israelites return to the land of promise after their exile in Babylon. Along with the books of Nehemiah and Haggai, it focuses on rebuilding Jerusalem, the once proud capital of the southern kingdom. Ezras role as a scribe was to rebuild the religious life of the Israelites through the law of Moses. In Nehemiah, the focus is on rebuilding the walls of Jerusalem to once again make it a safe haven for the people. Haggais focus some years later was on the importance of rebuilding the temple, the center of the Israelites national life.

SONGS OF THE WAR OF INDEPENDENCEA short time after the refusal of the Massachusetts legislature to rescind the Circular Letter of February 11, 1768, relating to the imposition of duties and taxes on the American Colonies, John Dickinson of Delaware wrote to James Otis of Massachusetts, I enclose you a song for American freedom. I have long since renounced poetry, but as indifferent songs are very powerful on certain occasions, I venture to invoke the deserted muses. This song was published in the Boston Gazette of July 18, 1768, to which paper Otis and other early advocates of political and religious liberty often contributed. It also appeared in the various newspapers of New England, where it soon became very popular.

I know that Publius already posted the National Anthem, but I discovered this last night
In 2013, the Kentucky All-State Choir assembled late at night in the 18-story hotel they were staying at. They stood out on the open hallways facing the hotel's lobby...which was as tall as the hotel. They sang the National Anthem as beautifully as I have ever heard it performed. I was in tears as the song ended.
Please enjoy this on our 239th birthday.

SONGS OF THE WAR OF INDEPENDENCEIf its in a minor key, you know its going to be long. This ballad, titled The World Turned Upside Down, or The Old Woman Taught Wisdom, was published originally in Gentleman's Magazine and afterwards on a broadsheet set to the tune Derry Down. The anonymous author said it is a humble attempt to reconcile the parent and her children made by a peacemaker to Great Britain and her Colonies. The band played it as Cornwallis surrendered to Washington at Yorktown.
