More than a century before, the Lord had revealed through Isaiah the method by which Babylon would be taken and under whose leadership this would take place (see Isaiah 44:27-28; 45:1-2).
Higit pa sa isang dekada bago ito mangyari, ipinakita na ng Panginoon sa pamamagitan ni Isaias ang paraan kung paano magagapi ang Babilonia at sa ilalim ng kaninong pamamahala ito magaganap (tingnan ang Isaias 44:27-28; 45:1-2).
