James Gray's Concise Bible Commentary - Isaiah 21:1-17

JUDGMENT ON GENTILE NATIONS This is a long lesson to read, but the study put upon it need not be proportioned to its length. There is a sameness in the chapters, and their contents are not unlike what we reviewed in the preceding lesson. Note the names of the nations and their contiguity to God’s chosen people. They have come in contact with their history again and again, which is why they are singled out for special mention. It will be well here to review what was said about these Gentile... read more

The People's Bible by Joseph Parker - Isaiah 21:6

"Handfuls of Purpose" For All Gleaners "Go, set a watchman, let him declare what he seeth." Isa 21:6 This is a favourite figure of the prophet. (Compare Ezekiel 33:7 , and Habakkuk 2:1 , Habakkuk 2:2 .) In vision the prophet is placed upon a lofty pile, and from that eminence he looks abroad upon the whole field of human action, and reports what passes under his own eyesight. A watchman is not a warrior. We must always notice the distribution of functions in spiritual and social life. Though... read more

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - Isaiah 21:3-5

Here the Prophet describes as it should seem, the terrible consternation and alarm, the impious monarch of Babylon would be thrown into, in the memorable night of his destruction. Let the Reader compare what is here said with Daniel 5:30; Daniel 5:30 . And how often in modern times, hath the last hours of notorious sinners been followed with similar alarms in their guilty consciences! read more

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - Isaiah 21:6-10

Here by vision, a sketch of that memorable event is given to the Prophet. Though at a distance of time and place so remote; yet the outline of the horrors of Babylon is given to the Prophet, to behold in vision: Chariots and horsemen; the cry of a lion, and a voice proclaiming, Babylon is fallen, is fallen, and all the graven images of her gods broken to the ground! These were strong prophetical intimations of the vast ruin and overthrow, which should take place. And the Prophet's seal to the... read more

Matthew Henry

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - Isaiah 21:1-10

1-10 Babylon was a flat country, abundantly watered. The destruction of Babylon, so often prophesied of by Isaiah, was typical of the destruction of the great foe of the New Testament church, foretold in the Revelation. To the poor oppressed captives it would be welcome news; to the proud oppressors it would be grievous. Let this check vain mirth and sensual pleasures, that we know not in what heaviness the mirth may end. Here is the alarm given to Babylon, when forced by Cyrus. An ass and a... read more

The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann - Isaiah 21:1-10

The Oracle Against Babylon v. 1. The burden of the desert of the sea, the valley and plain of the Euphrates and Tigris, where the Babylonian nation had its home. This country had been alternately a desert and a sea, depending upon the season of the year. Great dikes and levees built by Semiramis had served to control the water and make it available for irrigation purposes, but the razing of these dikes again converted the plain into a swampy sea. Cf Jeremiah 51:13-Zephaniah :. As whirlwinds... read more
