How do we know God's sovereignty is true in the story of Ezra?

Answered in 1 source

God's sovereignty is displayed in His orchestration of events that led to Israel's return from Babylon.

Throughout the Book of Ezra, God’s sovereignty is strikingly portrayed, particularly in the raising of Cyrus, a Persian king, to decree the return of the Israelites. As stated, 'The king's heart is in the hand of the LORD' (Proverbs 21:1), demonstrating that even a pagan ruler acts according to God's divine purpose. This narrative reassures believers of God's active control over historical circumstances, ensuring the fulfillment of His promises concerning His people.
