Jesaja 21:6 Meaning and Commentary

Isaiah 21:6

For thus hath the Lord said unto me
This is a confirmation of the above prophecy from the Lord himself, he showing to the prophet, in a visionary way, the ruin of Babylon, and the means and instruments of it: go, set a watchman;
not Habakkuk, as Jarchi; nor Urias, as the Septuagint; nor Jeremiah, as others; but himself, who, in a way of vision, represented a watchman on the walls of Babylon; and which was no way unsuitable to his character and office as a prophet: let him declare what he seeth;
what he sees coming at a distance, or at hand, let him faithfully and publicly make it known: these are not the words of the king of Babylon to one of his watchmen; but of the Lord of hosts to his prophet.

Jesaja 21:6 In-Context

4 Mein Herz schlägt wild, Schauder ängstigt mich; die Dämmerung, die ich liebe, hat er mir in Beben verwandelt.
5 Man rüstet den Tisch, es wacht die Wache, man ißt, man trinkt... Stehet auf, ihr Fürsten! Salbet den Schild! -
6 Denn also hat der Herr zu mir gesprochen: Geh hin, stelle einen Wächter auf; was er sieht, soll er berichten.
7 Und er sah einen Reiterzug: Reiter bei Paaren; einen Zug Esel, einen Zug Kamele. Und er horchte gespannt, mit großer Aufmerksamkeit;
8 und er rief wie ein Löwe: Herr, ich stehe auf der Turmwarte beständig bei Tage, und auf meinem Wachtposten stehe ich da alle Nächte hindurch!
