in Babylon to Jerusalem in the
first year of the reign of Cyrus,
king of Persia, 536 B. C.:
“God moves in a mysterious way
His wonders to perform;
He plants his footsteps in the sea
And rides upon the storm.” -

altogether strange,
for if you will
turn to Jeremiah
29:4-14, you will
find a prophecy
given 50 years be-

There were two

PROCLAMATION OF CYRUS
: rr^HE proclamation of Cyrus,
i -l Ezra 1:1-5, records the happy
m I word to the Jews that they would
\>i | not only return, but that the temple
|] would be rebuilt. Cyrus called
®i! upon all the people who would to
Hi make offerings by which the temple
might be restored. Cyrus was act-
ing under divine impulse in this
&|| gracious and generous proclama-
p I lion.
fkjj “The Lord God of heaven hath
d j given me all the kingdoms of the
pi] I earth; and he hath charged me to
[|j build him an house at Jerusalem,
pi | which is in Judah,” said Cyrus,
|| Ezra 1:2.
PC Fifty thousand Jews, their hearts
||, rejoicing at the thought of return-
iSj! ing to the land of their fathers, set
j|j out on the trek of 600 miles,
laden with gifts from the Per-
sians for the restoration of the
temple in Jerusalem. They could
now sing the song of the Lord, and
(8, no longer did their harps hang
11 silently on the willow trees.

STICKING TO ONE’S PURPOSE
\A7 E come now to the part Hag-
VV gai played in summoning the
Jews to their duty and obligation
to God to restore the temple. It was
in the second year of the reign of
Darius that Haggai received the
word of the Lord. “Is it time for
you, O ye, to dwell in your ceiled
houses, and this house lie waste?
Now therefore thus saith the Lord
of hosts, Consider your ways.” , r<
rt was enough. The people rallied) w. 23—Last day for
to the call of Haggai, and the |
temple was completed. Men can
always do what they ought to do,
if they will to do it.

GOD'S PURPOSE FULFILLED
rr^HE message of Haggai was
A heeded. The temple was com-
pleted, Ezra 6:13-18, and God’s
purpose was fulfilled. Read Psalm
126.
This brings us to the golden
text: “No man, having put his
hand to the plow, and looking back,
is fit for tlie Kingdom of God,”
Luke 9:62. When once the returned
exiles felt the iron of God's purpose
surging through their veins, they
quitted themselves like men, and
God’s power was everywhere mani-
fest So may it ever be with us!
