Someone NOT CITED SPECIFICALLY in the Holy Scriptures? Perhaps, But Maybe Not (At Least Figuratively/Typically, Anyways): *His name literally means 'Who is like God?' - **Like Cyrus of old, of whom God declared, by His servant Isaiah, "I have raised him up in righteousness, And I will direct all his ways" & "I have even called thee by thy name: I have surnamed thee, though thou hast not known Me" - & About Whom, As with Israel's ***(I.e. Judah's) Saviour-Deliverer, Jesus Christ the Saviour,****the Sacred Record Declares: "A prophet is not without honour save in his own country..."

*As can be discovered in any baby names' book.

**See, for example, Isaiah 44:28; 45:1(-)4;5;13.

***See Herbert Armstrong's brilliant exposition of the historical destiny of the two ancient Hebrew (tribal) 'nations' of Palestine, America and Britain in Prophecy.

****Matthew 13:57; see also Mark 6:4.

Were we as willing in this our day of brightest midday sunlight to do as much!

And How Very, Altogether Fitting That - As I Believe the (?Present) Archbishop of Canterbury Said in One of the Multitudinous Running Commentary's Upon & Indeed Anticipatory Dramas Upon Queen Elizabeth To Be Aired Obviously Upon Her Eventual Decease - As She Ascended the Throne and the Awesome Responsibility Then Awaiting Her, the Queen (Heir) Apparent Crept Up to the Altar and Kneeled, First Giving Her Own Undivided Allegiance to God Before Anyone Gave it to Her

No wonder (that is, seeing that as a mere foretaste of the absolute devotion and commitment, and selfless, sacrificial dedication subsequently revealed throughout the entirety of the remainder of her 70-year reign) even a merciless thug and rogue and vicarious mercenary such as Vladimir Putin could not refrain from heralding her wonderful qualities as Queen...
