The theme of ignorance of his chosenness

One of the main features of the Chosen One is his ignorance about his predestination. He is an ordinary man who acts according to the call of his heart.

Isaiah, ch. 45
1 Thus says Yahweh to his anointed one, to Cyrus whom, he says, I have grasped by his right hand, to make the nations bow before him and to disarm kings, to open gateways before him so that their gates be closed no more:

2 I myself shall go before you, I shall level the heights, I shall shatter the bronze gateways, I shall smash the iron bars.

3 I shall give you secret treasures and hidden hoards of wealth, so that you will know that I am Yahweh, who call you by your name, the God of Israel.

4 It is for the sake of my servant Jacob and of Israel my chosen one, that I have called you by your name, have given you a title though you do not know me.

5 I am Yahweh, and there is no other, there is no other God except me. Though you do not know me, I have armed you

6 so that it may be known from east to west that there is no one except me. I am Yahweh, and there is no other.
