So right at the end of the two books of Chronicles are these verses:
Now in the first year of Cyrus king of Persia—in order to fulfill the word of the Lord by the mouth of Jeremiah—the Lord stirred up the spirit of Cyrus king of Persia, so that he sent a proclamation throughout his kingdom, and also put it in writing, saying, "Thus says Cyrus king of Persia: ‘The Lord, the God of heaven, has given me all the kingdoms of the earth, and He has appointed me to build Him a house in Jerusalem, which is in Judah. Whoever there is among you of all His people, may the Lord his God be with him, and let him go up [to Jerusalem]!’ ”
2 Chronicles 36:22-23 AMP
This got me thinking. When exactly did President Trump move the US Embassy to Jerusalem from Tel Aviv? Although the official dedication was appropriately on May 14, 2018- the 70th anniversary of the Israeli Declaration of Independence, Trump announced it on December 6th, 2017. This was during the first year of Trump's presidency! How cool is it the Lord stirred up the spirit of President Donald J. Trump in the same way he did Cyrus the King of Persia?!
