18:83 'The one with two horns' is Cyrus, the Persian King

[428]

18:83   وَيَسـَٔلونَكَ عَن ذِى القَرنَينِ قُل سَأَتلوا عَلَيكُم مِنهُ ذِكرًا
And they ask you about the one with two horns. Say, "I will recite to you about him a report."

Cyrus The Great
Cyrus II, Kourosh in Persian
Cyrus (580-529 BC) was the first Achaemenid Emperor. He founded Persia by uniting the two original Iranian Tribes- the Medes and the Persians. Although he was known to be a great conqueror, who at one point controlled one of the greatest Empires ever seen, he is best remembered for his unprecedented tolerance and magnanimous attitude towards those he defeated.

550 BC  The Achaemenid Empire is founded by Cyrus the Great.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/550_BC

This post according to God's plan and timing will confirm that the mysterious figure Zulqarnain(the one with two horns) is undoubtedly Cyrus who united Persia and Media and founded the Achaemenid empire.  As a tolerant and ideal monarch, he was called the father of his people by the ancient Persians. In the Bible, he is the liberator of the Jews who were captive in Babylonia. Upon taking Babylon, Cyrus issued a declaration inscribed on a clay barrel, known today as the Cyrus Cylinder which is considered by many to be the first charter of human rights.

18:83 is mathematically coded to confirm the identity of Zulqarnain.

The word God is mentioned in numbered verses of the Quran 2698 times.
Starting with 18:83 and counting the numbered verses of the Quran, the 2698th verse is 55:19.

18:83 is the 2221st numbered verse in the Quran.
The 2221st prime is 19,577.
577 = numerical value of 50:1

18:83 is the 2207th verse in the Quran that contains the letter N.
2207 is the 329th prime.
329 = numerical value of 55:1.

In the range starting with 3:29 and ending with 18:83, the count of the numbered verses is 1900.

18:83 is the 1640th verse in the Quran that contains the letter Q.
In the chronological Quran, the count of Q at the end of 1640th Q-verse(31:33) is 2869 or 19x151.

18:83 is the 542nd prime numbered verse in the Quran
542 in base 19 = (5x19x19) + (4x19) + 2 = 1883

The above observation about number 542 directs us how to approach this issue.

THE PRIME PROOF
The numerical value of ذى القرنين as it is spelled in 18:83 is 1151.
1151 is the 190th prime.
190 in base 19 = (1x19x19) + (9x19) +(0x1) = 532.
The numerical value of the name کوروش (Cyrus) is 532.

The Prime Proof about the one with two horns was revealed on Dec 4,2018. On the same day the following story appeared on the BBC news.

I came across this link when I was trying to find a good picture of this relic. Note the number 1086 in the link.

1086 + 1151 = 2237
The 2237th verse in the Quran is 18:83
https://submission.org/QI#18_83

This information was revealed in the year 2577 since the ascension of Cyrus to the throne. Chapter 25 in the Quran has 77 numbered verses.
2018(Gregorian)+1397(Solar Hijri)+1440(Lunar Hijri)+2577 = 7432
For appreciating the significance of 7432, see the previous topic 'The Moon stands witness'.

1151 + 428 + 151 = 1730
There are 1730 prime numbered verses in the Quran.
18:83 is the 542nd prime numbered verse in the Quran.
1151 + 542 = 1693
1693 is the 264th prime.
The 264th prime numbered verse is 7:197
7:197 is the 1151st numbered verse in the Quran.
https://submission.org/QI#7_197
المص
At this verse  A=2438 , L=1490, M=1131, S=91
2438 + 1490 + 1131 + 91 = 5150
5150 + 428 = 5578
Chapter 55 has 78 numbered verses.

In the Chronological Quran, the 1,151st numbered verse in un-initialed chapters is 6:151.
In the Chronological Quran, 6:151 is the 329th verse that begins with the letter Q.
In the Chronological Quran, 6:151 is the 428th verse that contains 'God'.
In the chronological Quran, the single word God in 6:151 is the 361st 'God' in Q-verses; 361=19x19
In the chronological Quran, in the range starting with 6:151 and ending with 18:83, the count of the letter Q is 996 while the count of Q-verses is 551.
551 + 996 + 1151 = 2698
The Quran mathematical miracle generates the number 996 here. This number is the numerical value of the word هخامنش ( Achaemenes).
 Achaemenes was the eponymous ancestor of the Achaemenid dynasty

9961151 is the 662207th prime.
66 = numerical value of 'God' (الله)
2207 = 329th prime ; 329 = numerical value of 'The Almighty' (الرحمن)
662207 = 19 x 383 x 91
383 = numerical value of 'The Quran'
Chapter 91 in the Quran is 'The Sun' and the name کوروش (Cyrus) in Persian is believed to have been derived from خور (The Sun).
We also note that 91 in base 19 is 172 in base 10 and that the numerical value of 18:83 is 19x172

In the chronological Quran, the 428th letter Q is the only Q in 38:86
38:86   Say, "I do not ask you for any wage, and I am not an imposter.
In the chronological Quran, the count of the letter Q in the range starting with 38:86 and ending with 18:83 is 3296
3296 = 1883 + 1151 + 262
262 is the numerical value of the word ایران (Iran)
The 262nd composite number is 329

In 2017, I shared the information regarding the meaning and mathematical coding of verse 54:17.
The numerical value of 74:30 is 1221
1883 + 5417 + 1221 = 8521
8521 is the 1062nd prime.
1062 + 428 = 1490
1490 in base 10 = 428 in base 19

85:21  بَل هُوَ قُرءانٌ مَجيدٌ
Indeed, it is a glorious Quran.
In the chronological Quran 85:21 is the 428th numbered verse in un-initialed chapters

8521 + 428 = 19 x 471
471 is the numerical value of القرءان المجيد or 'the glorious Quran'

What initiated this research and the subsequent revelations was the labor protests at local sugarcane mill in the city of Shush, Iran.

Activists say Sugarcane Mill representative Esmail Bakhshi Tortured
https://iran-hrm.com/index.php/2018/12/01/activists-say-sugarcane-mill-representative-esmail-bakhshi-tortured/

The modern Iranian town of Shush is located at the site of ancient Susa and is believed to be the burial place of the biblical prophet Daniel.
Susa was conquered by Cyrus and was made the capital of the Achaemenid Empire later on. Shush officially became a city in the year 1329 (Iranian calendar) or 1950 CE.  To this day, 23 sites in Iran have been selected as World Heritage sites.  The city of Shush was the 19th of these sites which was registered by UNESCO with the registration number 1455.
1455 + 428 = 1883
-------------------
There is a great article about this topic online written by a person by the name Amar Ellahi Lone.  I reproduce it here without any change.

The Qur’an relates the story of Zulqarnain (one with two horns) in Surah Kahaf. In fact the Qur’an relates three incidents in this Surah, and the story of Zulqarnain is one of them. These were apparently revealed in response to three questions asked by the Quraish. But actually the Qur’an responded to serve its own purpose of admonition. As to who was Zulqarnain, the Qur’an does not specifically mention any name or personality in history to be Zulqarnain. However certain hints are given which can be helpful in arriving at a decision as to who actually was Zulqarnain.

The first question in this regard is that which is the personality in history who fits the beliefs and characteristics of Zulqarnain and his different expeditions as mentioned in the Qur’an. Secondly, what was the importance of Zulqarnain for Quraish who asked about him? And if not for the Quraish then for any other group which was the direct addressee of Qur’an — Jews and Christians. In fact these two questions are interrelated and cannot be viewed in isolation, that is, if a personality from history fits the charecteristics of Zulqarnain then we will also have to find out about his importance for any of the three groups mentioned above, for without any historic importance it seems illogical that any of the three groups instigated the question. Specially when the Qur’an responded with the words ‘they ask thee concerning Zulqarnain’. Only a personality with these specifications have a greater chance to be Zulqarnain

There are apparently two personalities in history before Islam who were great conquerors and ruled over vast empires as mentioned by Qur’an. These were Alexander the Greek conqueror and Cyrus the Persian conqueror. As far as Alexander is concerned the extent of his expeditions was towards the east and south, whereas Qur’an mentions Zulqarnain’s expeditions towards west, east and a third direction. Secondly when Qur’an talks about Zulqarnain, it shows him as a person believing in one God and the hereafter. He is also depicted as a kindhearted and just ruler. Now it is known about Alexander that he was a polytheist and no incidents of his kindness and justice are explicitly recorded in history. But as far as Cyrus is concerned we find out that the extent of his expeditions was towards west, east and north that is, after becoming the king of Persia, Cyrus went on different expeditions, ultimately conquering almost eighty percent of the civilized world at that time. He became the king of this vast empire stretching from Lydia (west) to India (east) and Bactria (north) to Babylon (south). Secondly history has explicitly recorded incidents of Cyrus’s extreme kindness and justice towards his subjects. In fact, these traits of his personality were so conspicuous that friend and foe equally acknowledged this fact. As regards Cyrus’s religion, he was a believer in Zoroastrianism, a new religion at that time, which existed with all its purity and spirit. The prophet Zoroaster who was probably contemporary to Cyrus preached belief in one God, the hereafter and all other basic good deeds that form a part of Divine religions. This answers our first question, showing that Cyrus comes very close to the narrative of the Qur’an. Now the second question will be answered in the light of the first.

As far as Alexander is concerned, there is no mention of him in the history of either the Quraish or the Jews and Christians in any manner which makes him significant for either of these groups. But as far as Cyrus is concerned we find out that though he had no significance for Quraish and Christians but Jews had a very special importance for him in their history. What was this importance of Cyrus for Jews? Anyone who is familiar with the Jewish history knows that the Babylonian king Nebuchadnezzar conquered the kingdom of Judea in sixth century B.C and the Jews were taken to Babylon as captives. The temple of Jerusalem was plundered and desecrated. From then onwards the Jews remained in Babylon as captives for seventy years. During this time the Prophet Daniel was appointed in Jews. He was the Prophet who at one time, after receiving revelation from God in a dream, announced the coming of a savior of Jews—the one who would release them from the captivity of the Babylonians. In that dream the Prophet Daniel saw this savior as a ram with two horns (Zulqarnain—one with two horns) (Daniel 8:1-4). The two horns metaphorically showed the two kingdoms of Media and Persia united and ram depicting the savior himself showed him to be the conqueror and king of this united kingdom. This king was Cyrus. He was the one who afterwards conquered the Babylonian kingdom and released the Jews from captivity and allowed them to go back to their homeland and build the temple. It was because of these reasons that Jews held him in very high esteem and considered him as their savior as predicted by the Prophet Daniel. Apart from Prophet Daniel, Prophet Isaiah and Jermiah also foretold the destruction of Jerusalem, captivity of Jews and then release with the coming of Cyrus as the savior (Isaiah 44:26-28, 45:1-3) (Jermiah 50:1-3, 29:11). With this explanation it becomes clear that Jews had great regard for the Persian king Cyrus. This answers our second question that out of the three main groups who were the direct addressees of Qur’an—Quraish, Jews, Christians—Jews had a personality in their history who fits the description of Zulqarnain and they had great regard for him. This personality (Cyrus) happens to be the same, which we have alluded to, in the first question. This discussion makes it clear that Cyrus comes very close to the Zulqarnain of Qur’an.

Another interesting thing in this regard is that the commentators of the Qur’an have also generally believed that the Jews instigated the question. The above discussion verifies this notion also and it seems quite possible that actually the Jews instigated the question and the Quraish asked it on their behalf.

However, it would be pertinent to mention in brief the three expeditions and the wall built by Zulqarnain (Cyrus). Cyrus’s western expedition was the one, in which he conquered Lydia and the Lonian city-states on the western coast of Asia Minor. It is in all probability this expedition which the Qur’an mentions as the one in which he reached a place where he saw the sun sinking in water, metaphorically explaining the western direction of his conquest and his experience while standing at the shore of Mediterranean in western Asia Minor (modern Turkey). He must have had the same vision in front of him at that time. Next, Cyrus turned his attention towards the barbaric nomadic tribes of the eastern part of the Iranian plateau. It is probably this expedition which the Qur’an mentions as the one in which he conquered a people who had no cover for the rising sun, metaphorically explaining their nomadic life style and the eastern direction of the conquest. Lastly, the Qur’an talks about his third expedition. This is probably when Cyrus went to the northeastern part of his empire (Caucasus mountain range between the Black Sea and the Caspian sea) and built barriers to protect his people against the incursion of nomadic tribes who lived on the other side of the Caucasus range, and referred to as Gog and Magog in the Qur’an. As for the iron wall itself, its remains probably can still be found in the area of the Caucasus region called Dariel Pass.

With this discussion in view we can conclude that in our opinion there is a greater likelihood that Cyrus the Persian king was the person mentioned as Zulqarnain in the Qur’an. However, it should always be kept in mind that Qur’an has not specifically mentioned any name, so we should also avoid saying that our opinion is final and the personality we found out to be Zulqarnain is exactly the one which Qur’an calls Zulqarnain. We should always talk about it in terms of our own understanding and knowledge, as the door for further research is always open.

-------------------

P.S. This part of chapter 18 is usually considered to include verses 83 to 99.

We note that (83+84+...+99) + 1151 = 2698

These 17 verses include 749 letters(according to http://alquran.eu)

749 + 1151 = 1900

کوروش هخامنش

Numerical value = 532 + 996 = 1528

1528 + 1151 + 19 = 2698

1883 + 532,996 = 577 x 927

[428]

The following was revealed on Dec 13, 2018

There is a calendar system used in Iran which is called (Persian) Imperial Calendar(in Farsi گاه‌شماری شاهنشاهی)
The origin of this calendar is 539 BC when Cyrus assumed the throne. Therefore based on this calendar we are in the year 2577 right now.

Chapter 25 in the Quran has 77 numbered verses.

Chapter 25 is the 42nd chapter revealed.
4277 = 329 x 13 (revealed at 1:10 a.m. on 12.13.2018)
329 = numerical value of الرحمن (The Almighty)
13 = numerical value of احد (One)

{ Exactly one year ago on Dec 13, 2017, the following was revealed
Aluminum
Atomic Number = 13
Atomic mass: 26.98 u }

Years ago I learned the following great sign from Hasan Ozturk
The word احد (One) is used in chapter 19 only twice in verses 26 and 98 signifying the fact that the word God occurs 2698 times in numbered verses of the Quran.

I take God as witness that the random verse on QT software(an old software made by submission.org) before clicking to post this message opened to 11:51

[428]

Since it was 3 in the morning and I was tired, I made a mistake in the message I just posted. Cyrus assumed the throne in 559 BC and that is the origin of this calendar.
559 + 2018 = 2577
Capture of Babylon by Cyrus took place in 539 BC.
The proofs are unaffected.

[428]

Additional sign that 'the one with two horns' (numerical value = 1151) is Cyrus (numerical value = 532)

In the 1151st verse of the Quran, the count of the initial letters that occur in the verse are A=5, L=3 and M=2

Wednesday was Cyrus the Great Day in Iran.
The date in the Iranian Calendar was 1399.8.7
87 = 3 × 29

On the same day, Iranian social media published the video of a wild animal with two great horns running away in the desert. Apparently, two men in a vehicle were chasing the animal for fun. The animal died as a result.

The sighting of a reindeer in Norway made the news in 2018. That happened on the same day I discovered the Quranic proof confirming Cyrus is the one in 18:83

[428]

In the previous post, I pointed out that the video of a Persian Wild Goat on Cyrus Day was a sign confirming that 'the one with two horns' is Cyrus.
It turns out that this event occurred in a place whose name has the same numerical value as Cyrus'.
The name of the place is Maranjab Desert or in Farsi کویر مرنجاب
Cyrus in Farsi is most commonly written as کوروش
 
کویر مرنجاب = 532
کوروش = 532

[428]

From before we know

18:83 is mathematically coded to confirm the identity of Zulqarnain.
The word God is mentioned in numbered verses of the Quran 2698 times.
Starting with 18:83 and counting the numbered verses of the Quran, the 2698th verse is 55:19

New sign observed today (2021.6.3 = 1400.3.13)
Cyrus (English) = Κύρος (Greek)
"Κύρος" in the Greek Isopsephy system transliterates to "Kyros" and equals 790 (20+400+100+70+200)
https://www.ridingthebeast.com/gematria-calculator/
790 in base 19 = 2698 in base 10

[428]

Today God provided another sign confirming that the person in 18:83 is Cyrus.
The other hugely famous ancient Iranian is Zoroaster
Most scholars date him in the 7th and 6th century BCE as a near-contemporary of Cyrus
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zoroaster
Thus Spoke Zarathustra: A Book for All and None was first published in 1883
This is a book that I tried to read when I was about 25 years of age. I tried to read it very carefully, thinking about every sentence but after some days I realized that it was having a destructive and satanic effect on my mind so I stopped reading halfway through the book.
I witnessed this sign via a post on Instagram. The post above it had 329 comments confirming that this is a sign from The Almighty.

[428]

In 2018 I wrote

"Chapter 91 in the Quran is 'The Sun' and the name کوروش (Cyrus) in Persian is believed to have been derived from خور (The Sun). We also note that 91 in base 19 is 172 in base 10 and that the numerical value of 18:83 is 19x172"

I just saw a post on Instagram about the Cyrus monument at Sydney Olympic Park in Australia.
https://www.instagram.com/tv/CfTpgUdjFtN/
As the screenshots show, the number of views when I saw this was 365,172
365 is the number of days in a Solar year.
