| 0:00.0 | Hey Bible readers, I'm Tara Lee Cobble, and I'm your host for the Bible Recap. |
| 0:13.0 | Today we finished our 30-second book of the Bible. It opens during the reign of King Cyrus of |
| 0:18.6 | Persia, who is currently in charge of Babylon. |
| 0:23.2 | We've read about Cyrus and other books of prophecy. |
| 0:28.2 | He's the one who is not a follower of Yahweh, but whom Yahweh uses to move some of his important plans along, like eventually rebuilding the temple. |
