What the Fathers say
Western Saints
Jerome
Because of my servant Jacob, and Israel my chosen one, I have called you by your name: I have likened you to myself, and you have not known me. These things, he says, I attribute to you because of my servant Jacob, and my chosen Israel, and I called you by your name, just as I called Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob; and long before, I foretold you, Isaac and Josiah, so that you would not think that he is the Christ, to whom you are compared, and in whose type and image you have preceded. …
Thomas Aquinas
And the liberation of his people: for the sake of my servant Jacob, namely, that you should liberate him from captivity: who knows whether you are not therefore come to the kingdom (Esth 4:14). Second, he shows that this benefit is partly frustrated on the part of Cyrus himself: I have even called you by your name, foretelling your name, I have made you like, other holy men in this, whose names were previously foretold by the Lord; you have not known me, to be the only true God, as you remain in idolatry.
