God's will is the ultimate in creativity. He used the King of Persia, now Iran, to release exiled Israel to return to Jerusalem to rebuild the Temple. The king was divinely inspired.

King Artaxerxes of Persia

 Blessed be the Lord, the God of our fathers, who put such a thing as this into the heart of the king, to beautify the house of the Lord that is in Jerusalem, and who extended to me his steadfast love before the king and his counselors, and before all the king's mighty officers. I took courage, for the hand of the Lord my God was on me, and I gathered leading men from Israel to go up with me.
