IsaiYAH 21

Isaiah Time-Travels To The Fall Of Babylon1

[Next, 😇, YAH gives me (Isaiah)] the [following 6th prophetic] “burden,” [a vision of the future of Babylon,] the ‘desert sea’. Like a southland whirlwind, the [Persian invader] advances [on Iraq] from [Iran,] the desert land of terror.
The Euphrates and the Nile rivers each received the nickname, "Sea" because of their massive annual flooding. Compare the lake called “the Sea Of Galilee”.

[YAH] shows me a vision of dense [carnage], 😇. Traitors backstab [their "friends"]. Ravagers pillage [Babylon]. [Persian commanders shout,] “Mount [the castle walls, soldiers of] Elam {Hidden}. Besiege [Babylon, marauders of] Media! Today I, [Emperor Cyrus {Sun} of Persia,] silence the groans of every [nation whom Babylon holds in slavery]!”

The vision racks my body with pain, 😇. Cramps grip me. I writhe like a woman in labor. My eardrums [ring with shrieks from the bleeding mouths of Babylon's dying tyrants]. I twist [on the ground in helpless sympathy]. [Sights of war-horror] shake me to the core.

My heart lurches [in my chest], 😇. I quake in terror. [YAH] turns my pleasant night into my [worst] nightmare:

[As the invaders creep into Babylon city, [clueless] chamberlains shout,] “Prepare the royal tables! Light the lamps! [Prepare] food and drink for [our Empire's] leaders. Oil the [golden] shields [to show off the wealth we stole from king Solomon's brat].
Preparing Belshazzar's feast, detailed in Daniel.

YHVH tells me, “[Isaiah,] walk [across time and space to future Babylon]. Stand [as my] watchman [on the castle wall]. Lean forward. [Peer into the night of Persia's invasion.] Shout what [you] see.”
Due to robotic reliance on faulty Masoretic pointing, this section makes no sense in bookstore translations.

[In the far distance, I] see [what Babylon's sleeping watchmen ignore]: troops [of chariots] flanked by [endless] pairs of horsemen. [Warriors] ride donkeys. [Assassins] straddle camels, 😇. [My eyes] widen. [I] prick up my ears. [I] listen [for the sound of rushing hooves].

I cry, "YHVH, [help]! [Cyrus {Sun}, the] Lion [of Persia approaches Babylon]!" [In the spirit,] I stand all day upon the watchtower [as Persia's army creeps toward unsuspecting Babylon], 😇. I stay on my duty-post every night [until the invasion reaches the capitol].

Look, 😇! Troops [of chariots] advance [across Iraq], flanked by [endless] pairs of horsemen. [I] shout back [to Israel], “Babylon is fallen! Fallen!” [In the days that follow, Cyrus {Sun}] breaks all [Belshazzar's] sculptured idol-gods to the ground.

[Rejoice,] my beaten-people [Israel], [you] smashed grains [with whom] I [share this earthly] "threshing floor". I announce to you, 😇, this [vision of freedom] I've heard from YHVH-Commander-Of-Armies, Israel's [sovereign] Elohim.

Isaiah Begs Edomites To Pray, Listen & Repent11

[Next, YAH gives me (Isaiah)] the [following prophetic] word-load [to enlighten] Dumah {Silence}, [aka Edom, the rebellious country south of Judea]. From Seir {Rough}, [the southland king] calls to me, “Watchman, how long [will our society endure this dark] night? Watchman, when will night [end]?”

[I] the watchman reply, “Morning comes. But night [will return]. If you're asking [for YAH's word], then pray [to him]. Repent. Come [into YAH's kingdom].”
This is a paraphrase of the literal Hebrew as traditionally pointed: He-says one-guarding he-arrived morning and·moreover night. If you-are-petitioning petition-you! Turn-back-you! come-hither-you! The traditional reading implies that Isaiah gives no answer, i.e. that he answers "Dumah" (silence) with what amounts to silence, as if to say that the Edomites are too spiritually "deaf" to merit an answer from a prophet.

Isaiah Speaks The Arabians' Future13

[Next, 😇, YAH gives me (Isaiah)] the [following prophetic] ‘burden’ to deliver to Arabia: [In the] darkness of [your near future, the Assyrian war against Egypt & Ethiopia forces] you nomadic spawn of Dedan to park your caravans in the Arabian wildwoods. [Egypt becomes a death-trap.]
This set of 5 verses relates to the generally cursed descendants of the boys whom Abraham unwisely spawned with his concubines.

Temanite {Southlanders} haul water to thirsty [north African] refugees. [Teman's spawn] meet the fleeing [Egyptian survivors] with food.

[Refugees] scramble [north from Africa into Edom]. [They] flee drought. They run from smashing swords. They [evade] bent bows. They [escape the] horrors of war.

For YHVH promises me, “Within a year, counted [to the day], like an indentured-servant counts [his days to freedom], all the glory vanishes from Kedar {Dusk-Land}.
Kedar = land of Bedoin arabs. Kedar = a descendant of Abraham through cursed Ishmael.

[War] leaves alive only a tiny handful of those masterful archers descended from Kedar {Dusk-Land}. YHVH, Israel's [sovereign] Elohim, speaks [Arabia's future, 😇].
