| "The
Solar Eclipse; Isaiah 45:7," Charles H. Spurgeon, 1858.
 | "I shall note this morning, in addressing you, that since the Lord creates
darkness as well as light; first of all, eclipses of every kind are part of God's way
of governing the world; in the second place, we shall notice that since God creates
the darkness as well as the light, we may conclude beyond a doubt that he has a design
in the eclipse—in the darkness as well as the light; and then, thirdly, we shall
notice that as all things that God has created, whether they be light or whether they
be dark, have a sermon for us, no doubt there are some sermons to be found in
this." |

Isaiah 45:1-7, James K. Mead, Preaching This Week,
WorkingPreacher.org, 2008.
| "...as the prophet emphasizes
Cyrus's usefulness in spite of his lack of knowledge of Yahweh, the
exiles must recognize that they have none of the Persian monarch's
excuses. Their knowledge of God must usher forth into a trust in God
for the new thing he is doing." |
