Among  the  numerous  prophecies  that  were  fulfilled
            during that period, Isaiah prophesied the Judean fall to
            Babylon  (Is.  39:5-6).      Most  astoundingly,  Isaiah  also
            prophesied  that  GOD  would  raise  Cyrus  (Is.  44;28,  Is.
            45:1-13)  to  deliver  Israel  back  from  Babylon  captivity.

            Isaiah’s prophecy not only named Cyrus, he also foretold
            details of Cyrus’ life as a shepherd leading to his destiny.
            Isaiah was given this vision more than 160 years before
            Cyrus  was  born.    Cyrus  fulfilled  his  appointed  mission
            given by GOD; shortly after he conquered Babylon and
            slew King Belshazzar (circa 539 BC), Cyrus freed the Jews
            to  return  home  without  bond  or  payment.    He  even
            ordered funding to be given to cover the restoration of

            Jerusalem  and  the  Temple  that  Nebuchadnezzar  had
            destroyed in 586 BC.

            Jeremiah prophesied many things that would later take
            place throughout the Judean Kingdom leading up to and

            including  the  captivity.    Among  the  many  things  that
            Jeremiah foretold; he set forth the length of time that
            Israel would remain in captivity.  Their captivity would
            last for 70 years (Jer. 25:11).  Both Isaiah and Jeremiah
            foretold that GOD would destroy Babylon after the years
            of captivity for the cruelty they would inflict on the Jews

            (Is.  13:17-19,  Is.  14:3-11)  and  (Jer.  51:1-5).  These  are
            merely a few of the many prophecies that were foretold
            and fulfilled during this period.

            Moses foresaw the ages following Alexander-the-Great

            Next,  Moses  describes  the  periods  that  followed  long
            after  the  time  when  Jews  were  returned  from
            Babylonian  captivity  and  the  times  when  they  were
