Zone did quote to you Isaiah 45:13 and 44:28 which also talks of the city.
Maybe Satan did confused you from looking from the truth.

Confused me?
No I am not ocnfused.
I showed the passages which prove Cyrus just ordered the rebuilding of the temple
I showed the passages which prove Isreal got in trouble for TRYING to rebuild the city under the order of Cyrus
Yes, Cyrus got the rebuilding started, But HE NEVER gave permission to start rebuilding the city proper.
Direct from the Lord pertaining to Cyrus:
[Isa 45:13] KJV I have raised him up in righteousness, and I will direct all his ways: he shall build my city, and he shall let go my captives, not for price nor reward, saith the LORD of hosts.
He shall build my City.
City - jerusalem is a city
[Isa 45:13] KJV I have raised him up in righteousness, and I will direct all his ways: he shall build my city, and he shall let go my captives, not for price nor reward, saith the LORD of hosts.
He shall build my City.
City - jerusalem is a city
Cyrus commanded the start to rebuild the house of God and lay its foundation.
Did the people of Israel think Cyrus gave them permision to reebuild the City??
Ezra 4
[SUP]3 [/SUP]But Zerubbabel and Jeshua and the rest of the heads of the fathers’ houses of Israel said to them, “You may do nothing with us to build a house for our God; but we alone will build to the Lord God of Israel, as King Cyrus the king of Persia has commanded us.”
Nothing about a city
It was the house of God. And they were commanded to stop.
[SUP]21 [/SUP]Now give the command to make these men cease, that this city may not be built until the command is given by me.
And it was the house of God which stopped. because they were in sin against the king, and trying to rebuild the CITY, which they did not have permission to do!
[SUP]24 [/SUP]Thus the work of the house of God which is at Jerusalem ceased, and it was discontinued until the second year of the reign of Darius king of Persia.
At which time, the restoration of the TEMPLE was re-started.
again the CITY was not given perimssion until Artaxerxes sent Nehemiah with the command to rebuild the city. The TEMPLE was already being rebuilt at the time, Due to the command of Cyrus!
Again, Scripture trumps. The actual events are recorded for us. Trying to go to other passages, to prove a point, when the proof of the actual events are in black and white does not help ones cause!
