Chapter 2 Pararagraphs 14 & 15
14, 15. How were some details of Isaiah’s prophecy about Babylon fulfilled?
"Some 200 years later—on the night of October 5/6, 539 B.C.E.—an army encamped near Babylon. Who was its commander? A Persian king named Cyrus. The stage was thus set for the fulfillment of an amazing prophecy. But would the army of Cyrus invade Babylon without a battle, as foretold?
15The Babylonians were holding a festival that night and felt secure behind their massive city walls. Meanwhile, Cyrus cleverly diverted the water of the river that flowed through the city. Soon the water was shallow enough for his men to cross the riverbed and approach the walls of the city. But how would Cyrus’ army get past Babylon’s walls? For some reason, on that night the doors to the city were carelessly left open!"
The Bible writer Isaiah foretold the fall of Babylon
a)"commander- A Persian king named Cyrus; Cyrus cleverly diverted the water of the river that flowed through the city; also hat night the doors to the city were carelessly left open!"
