This is logically poor in understanding scriptural context and prophecy. Felix Manalo itself wasn't mentioned as the Bird of Prey, while thinking that the phrase Bird of Prey should or must be claimed by someone else. Why would you like that idea? So let's talk about this in detail -
Why was it even necessary that by prophecy God called Cyrus from the "far east"..?when He had already called him by his name in Isaiah 44:28 and 45: 1?However, there is no record that Cyrus claimed that he was the prophesied “bird of prey” in Isaiah 46:11.
Alright, so let's get into the context, shall we?
Isaiah 44:28 states:"That saith of Cyrus, He is my shepherd, and shall perform all my pleasure: even saying to Jerusalem, Thou shalt be built; and to the temple, Thy foundation shall be laid."
This is a direct declaration of Isaiah for Cyrus, who would take the responsibility to take the people out of Babylonian bondage and help them return to their land. We should take note that this prophecy happened while Cyrus was not even aware that his name was called out; he didn't even know Isaiah during this declaration, and in fact, most of Isaiah's words were mostly for the Jews and their covenant with God. Does this mean a thing at all to INC ideology? Or perhaps, there's something you people want to dive into biblical history.

| Seriously? Do you think you could show some good commentary on that and doesn't end up in bigotry? Give me a break! You couldn't keep up if you want it formal. But if you wish, let's have it scheduled. |
If you want to go on in that topic, then go ahead and answer these short questions -
- Has there been any direct firsthand account that says Felix was the Bird of Prey? Cite it if you have.
- If the scriptural context says about him, when did God tell him or call him "BY NAME" to declare his words?
- Have there been any recorded events of any actual revelations received or angelic visitation?
- When and how did Manalo receive an authority from God like Christ, who calls and ordains his apostles?
- Under what authority did he perform in building up the Kingdom of God?
The questions provided were basically Biblical occurrences to claim as if one was called of God or a messenger, as it is meant to be that way. So how was it?
