There is no record that Cyrus claimed that he was the prophesied “bird of prey”: by Jennifer Ponce

This is logically poor in understand 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 in to 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 from Babylonian bondage and help them return to their land. We should take note that this prophecy happens while Cyrus was not even aware that his name were call out, he didn't even knew Isaiah during this declaration and in fact most of Isaiah's words were mostly for the Jews and their covenant with God. Does this meant a thing at all to INC ideology? Or perhaps, there's something you people want to dive in to biblical history.


Seriously? Do you think you could show some good commentary on that
and doesn't end up in bigotry?
Give me 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 this short questions -
  • Has there any direct first hand account that says  Felix was the Bird of Prey? Cite it if you have?
  • If the scriptural context says about him, when did God told him or called him "BY NAME" to declare his words? Has there 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 where 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?
