Isaiah 45:20-21. Assemble yourselves and come; draw near together, ye that are escaped of the nations: they have no knowledge that set up the wood of their graven image, and pray unto a god that cannot save. Tell ye, and bring them near, yea, let them take counsel together: who hath declared this from ancient time? who hath told it from that time? have not I the LORD?
He challenges all the idols to prove that they had uttered any true prophecy, - that they had spoken about Cyrus, or anybody else, from ancient times, so that the prophecy was literally fulfilled.
