Shortly after this victory, he allowed the Jewish exiles to return home. Isaiah interprets all of this as part of God’s plan. Cyrus is acting as God’s “anointed”, mashiah in Hebrew. Before Isaiah applied this word to Cyrus, it had only been used to refer to Israelites. Calling Cyrus “messiah” indicates that he is carrying out the Lord’s work, even though he doesn’t realize it. “I have called you by your name,” the Lord says, “though you knew me not”. For our prophet, this is an indication that the God of Israel is the God of all the earth: “there is no other”. First Thessalonians is the oldest writing we have from Paul. Although the letter is associated with Paul, the opening verse identifies the senders as “Paul, Silvanus, and Timothy,” three missionaries who give thanks to God (typical of Paul’s letters) for the church in Thessalonica’s witness of faith. We hear about the work of these three apostles in Acts, where Luke calls Silvanus “Silas” (see Acts 16–17). In Israel in Jesus’s day, paying taxes to Rome was not popular. The annual “census tax” could only be paid using a Roman denarius coin, which had the image of the emperor on it along with an inscription acknowledging the emperor’s divinity; thus both the tax and the coin required to pay the tax were offensive to the Jews. The fact that Jesus’s questioners can produce “the Roman coin” is evidence of their hypocrisy. St. Augustine pointed out the contrast between the emperor’s image on the coin, which “belongs to Caesar”, and the fact that Genesis says we are made in God’s image — that is, we belong to God. For Jesus, our obligation to God does not invalidate our debt to “Caesar,” but it is more important. For reflection: Do I thank God for the example of faith in the lives of those around me? How can I more fully give “to God what belongs to God?
