Commentary on Isaiah 45:1
God calls Cyrus 'his anointed' (mashiach - the same word for Messiah). This is extraordinary: a pagan Persian king receives the title usually reserved for Israel's kings and priests. God holds his 'right hand' (position of power and favor) to subdue nations and loose kings' armor. The Hebrew 'pathach' (open) promises that gates and doors will not be shut before him.
