Verse 8. Saviour. Thus the ancient saints thirsted for the coming of Christ. His figure is styled the just. Calmet. 41:2. 25.—Him. Christ, born of the virgin, in time, and of God from all eternity. I have appointed Cyrus to be his precursor, to set the captives free. Calmet.—He has been spoken of before. But now the prophet turns to Christ alone, who built his Church on a rock. Worthington.—Cyrus had not a right faith in God, and Zorobabel was himself set free, and was not king. Saint Jerome
