What does Isaiah 45:2 mean?

I’ll go ahead of you, Cyrus, and flatten the hills. I’ll smash down bronze gates and break iron bars. Isaiah 45:2 - Modern Text Bible

(God promises to clear every obstacle for Cyrus, making his path smooth and unstoppable. The imagery of breaking gates and bars shows God’s power to open what seems impossible.)
