Isaiah 21:6 - Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible

Bible Comments

Thus hath the Lord said unto me; I speak not my own fancies, but what God hath made me to see and hear in a vision; the particulars whereof are related in the following verses. A watchman; either,

1. A prophet; such being oft so called, as Ezekiel 3:17, Ezekiel 33:2. Or rather,

2. A military watchman. For this was now done only in a vision, which yet did foresignify what should be done really afterwards. Let him declare, to thee in vision, to them really.

Isaiah 21:6

6 For thus hath the Lord said unto me, Go, set a watchman, let him declare what he seeth.
