Cyrus the Great was the king of Persia, which is modern Iran from 559-530 B.C. Daniel is now in the government of the Medes and the Persians who conquered the Babylonians in October of 539 B.C. Daniel begins this section of Scripture with stating the time frame of the third year of Cyrus king of Persia; referring to himself in the Babylonian name he was given Belteshazzar by Nebuchadnezzar. This would be 536 B.C. when Daniel received this prophecy. Cyrus is mentioned here because God used him as His servant. Cyrus is inserted here in verses 2-3 because he will be a future judgment against the gentile nations who worship pagan idols, and fits in with the Lord's judgment against such behavior. Isaiah 41:2-3 2Who hath raised up one from the east, whom he calleth in righteousness to his foot? he giveth nations before him, and maketh him rule over kings; he giveth them as the dust to his sword, as the driven stubble to his bow. 3He pursueth them, and passeth on safely, even by a way that he had not gone with his feet (ASV, 1901).
