READING LIST FOR POETRY AND PROPHECY

Today's Reading is Isaiah 21

King James Version with Web Encyclopedia Links:Isaiah 21

Isaiah 21
Prophecy against Babylon v. 1-10; Edom v. 11-12 and against Arabia v. 13-17

Isaiah use three pictures here to visualize what would happen. The first is the woman in labor v. 1-4. This is what the end of the Babylonian Empire would be like. The second was the threshing floor v. 10 and the last was the watchman in verse 5-9, 11-17.

In verse 11.12 Isaiah prophesied against Edom. The Edomites were ancestors of Esau (or Edom). Isaiah was the pictured as a watchman in verse 5-9, 11-17. He was asked what did he see. He said he saw the Assyrians approaching. The Edomites wanted to know if there was any hope against the Assyrians. Isaiah had invited the Edomites to trust in the Lord. Verse 12 ‘The watchman replies, “Morning is coming, but also the night, if you ask, then ask and come back yet again.” But they did that they did not know that God would defeat the Assyrians when they tried to attack Jerusalem (Isaiah 37).
