The grievousness of war is seen in its causes. War is grievous in its origin and in all the things that foster it. It has its origin in the unholy lusts and pitiful mistakes of mankind (James 4:1). These lusts and mistakes, what are they?... read more

Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - Isaiah 21:1-17

Shall we turn to Isaiah, chapter 21.Isaiah begins this particular prophecy and addresses it to Babylon which was referred to as,The desert of the sea. As whirlwinds in the south pass ( Isaiah 21:1 )Or in the Negev. We call them sun devils out in Arizona. You've seen those whirlwinds that have been created by the sun out there in the desert and they move along and pick up dust and weeds and trash.

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - Isaiah 21:1-17

Isaiah 21:1 . The desert of the sea. The army which invaded Babylon came not directly against it; but Cyrus made a circuitous route, and collected part of his army from the deserts and mountains towards the Caspian sea. Others call Babylon a sea, because at Easter, the time of the first fruits, Sir 24:25 , the rivers Pison or Tigris, &c. overflowed their banks, by the melting snows on the mountains of Armenia. Bishop Lowth has much relieved this prophecy of the fall of Babylon by the... read more

Whedon's Commentary on the Bible - Isaiah 21:13-15

13-15. Burden upon Arabia On critical grounds, both Ewald and Delitzsch make it doubtful that Arabia, as a whole, is meant, but rather think that the oracle relates to the sandy desert, the Arabah, the region over which the ancient caravan trade was carried. Their opinion is not simply plausible, it is reasonable. It is still Arabia, though a specific part. The caravans are called Dedanim, a mixture of Cushites and Ishmaelites. Their roads or camel routes to and from Tyre, and probably... read more
