**anointed**
The only instance where the word is applied to a Gentile. Nebuchadnezzar is called the "servant" of Jehovah [Jeremiah 25:9](../../../kjv/jeremiah/25/9); [Jeremiah 27:6](../../../kjv/jeremiah/27/6); [Jeremiah 43:10](../../../kjv/jeremiah/43/10) This, with the designation "My shepherd" [Isaiah 44:28](../../../kjv/isaiah/44/28) also a Messianic title, marks Cyrus as that startling exception, a Gentile type of Christ. The points are:
(1) both are irresistible conquerors of Israel's enemies. [Isaiah 45:1](../../../kjv/isaiah/45/1); [Revelation 19:19-21](../../../kjv/revelation/19/19-21)
(2) both are restorers of the holy city [Isaiah 44:28](../../../kjv/isaiah/44/28); [Zechariah 14:1-11](../../../kjv/zechariah/14/1-11)
(3) through both is the name of the one true God glorified [Isaiah 45:6](../../../kjv/isaiah/45/6); [1 Corinthians 15:28](../../../kjv/1-corinthians/15/28).

**create evil**
Heb. "ra" translated "sorrow," "wretchedness," "adversity," "afflictions," "calamities," but never translated sin. God created evil only in the sense that He made sorrow, wretchedness, etc., to be the sure fruits of sin.
