1. Ésaïe 21:9 (NEG79)
  2. Explication du texte

As it is known that King Cyrus did not oppose the worship of idols, could it be that Isaiah was mistaken?

Ésaïe 21:9 (NEG79)

9 Et voici, il vient de la cavalerie, des cavaliers deux à deux! Elle prit encore la parole, et dit: Elle est tombée, elle est tombée, Babylone, Et toutes les images de ses dieux sont brisées par terre!

Some commentators claim this is the case because it is known that Cyrus allowed the worship of different idols to continue. But the text does not say that it was Cyrus who broke the idols. Instead, God is the subject of the sentence, and it is a reference to spiritual victory; the evil that opposed the kingdom of God would be completely destroyed.
