(3:45) Lo! The angels said "O Mary! Behold, God sends thee the glad tidings, through a word from Him, (of a son) who shall become known as the Christ Jesus, son of Mary, of great honour in this world and the life to come, and (shall be) of those who are drawn near unto God. (Muhammad Asad)
Asad comments on the Word Christ: "whose name shall be The Anointed (Al Masih)". The designation Al Masih is the Arabicized form of Aramaic Meshiha which in turn is derived from the Hebrew Mahsiah, 'The Anointed' - a term frequently applied in the Bible to Hebrew Kings, whose accession to power would be consecrated by a touch with holy oil taken from the Temple. This anointment appears to have been so important a rite among the Hebrews that the term 'The Anointed' became in the course of time more or less synonymous with 'King'. Its application to Jesus may have been due to the widespread conviction among his contemporaries (references to which are found in several places in the Synoptic Gospels) that he was descended in direct - and obviously legitimate line from the Royal House of David. (It is to be noted that this could not have been related to his mother's side because Mary belonged to the priestly class descending from Aaron, thus to the Tribe of Levi, one of the Sons of Jacob, while David descended from the Tribe of Judah) Whatever may have been the historical circumstances, it is evident that the honorific "The Anointed" was applied to Jesus in his own lifetime. In the Greek version of the Gospels - which is undoubtedly based on a now lost Aramaic original - this designation is correctly translated as Christos ( a noun derived from Greek Verb Chriein "To Anoint"): and since it is in this form - "The Christ" - that the designation Al-Masih has achieved in all Western Languages.
So the Prophecy which you've shared above I believe applies very much to Al Masih Isa Ibn Maryam (a.s) instead of Cyrus, who would rule the world from Jerusalem, once he defeats and kills the False Masih Dajjal after his Second Arrival. The "Annointed One" or 'The King' or Al Masih, very much applies to Jesus (a.s) and no one else as he was foretold in the Bible that he would bring the Glory Days of Children of Israel back to them, The Glory Days of Solomon (a.s) as Solomon was the 1st one to build the Temple. He i.e. Jesus (a.s) would have to built the Temple or Masjid of David (a.s) as we know it because Zionist Israel will have to destroy Masjid Al Aqsa and built what they consider the correct historic Temple of Solomon. Dr Israar Ahmed writes in his Book 'Lessons From History':
During the years 1020 B.C. and 922 B.C., Israel reached the zenith of its territorial size and political power, enjoying an era of peace and affluence.
Culture, trade, and industry flourished, especially during the reign of Prophet Suleman (AS). The famous Temple was also built for the first time in Jerusalem.
Since Zionism, the Political Ideology which is poised to build a House for Jews in the Holy Land, either by hook or crook at the expense of millions of innocent lives even if they have to take, is deceiving them in to believing that their Glory Days of Solomon (a.s) are coming back. Rather this is the deception of Al Masih Al Dajjal. So the Real Messiah or Anointed One will have to come back and kill The False Messiah, who is about to become their leader, thus fulfilling all those Prophecies of his rule in the Torah.
Yes one thing, I would agree about Cyrus, the Great, he wasn't a polytheist, I don't know if he did study Torah under the Rabbis and became a True Follower of Bible i.e. Muslim.
About your saying Cyrus, being from the House of David, the Prophet's who did foretell about this King's arrival and subsequent release of Children of Israel from Babylon, would've also mentioned him being from the House of David, but they never did this, even though they did mention him being a type of a saviour king. For example, Book of Daniel, about 2 Horns, King of Media and Persia.
