What is the thinking about why Cyrus the Great allowed the Jews to leave Persia and go back to Jerusalem?
Cyrus didn't allow all the the Jews to return to to Jerusalem, he allowed SOME Jews to return and that was because he just defeated the Babylonians and was looking to gain favor with with specific subsets of the Babylonian population because he needed spies and intel.
This is the thing about christians, they are as abysmally ignorant of the history of their own religion as they are of history in general.
