Hi,
After not sleeping well for several nights I ended up sleeping till almost 9:30 this morning after I went back to bed. I thanked the Lord because now I feel rested.
Anyway as I was making breakfast just after, I was going to turn on the news like normal. But the Lord wanted me to open my Bible that was on the counter in the kitchen. So I did. This is what my eyes went to first.
Isaiah 21:11-12
11 Proclamation Against Edom (this I feel represents any nation against Israel)
The burden against Dumah.(Edom)
He calls to me out of Seir, "Watchman, what of the night? Watchman, what of the night?" 12 The watchman said, 'The morning comes, and also the night. If you will inquire, inquire; Return! Come back!" NKJV
I know it is in regards to me being a watchman. I am not sure of the meaning other than people asking what I see.
I do know the chapter as a whole is in regards to the end time. This is the whole of it, yet 11-12 is what I first saw.
Isaiah 21:1-22:1 Isaiah 21
21:1 The Fall of Babylon Proclaimed
The burden against the Wilderness of the Sea. As whirlwinds in the South pass through,So it comes from the desert, from a terrible land. 2 A distressing vision is declared to me;The treacherous dealer deals treacherously,And the plunderer plunders. Go up, O Elam! Besiege, O Media!All its sighing I have made to cease.
3 Therefore my loins are filled with pain;Pangs have taken hold of me, like the pangs of a woman in labor.I was distressed when I heard it;I was dismayed when I saw it. 4 My heart wavered, Fearfulness frightened me;The night for which I longed He turned into fear for me. 5 Prepare the table,Set a watchman in the tower,Eat and drink. Arise, you princes,Anoint the shield!
6 For thus has the Lord said to me:"Go, set a watchman,Let him declare what he sees."7 And he saw a chariot with a pair of horsemen,A chariot of donkeys, and a chariot of camels,And he listened earnestly with great care. 8 Then he cried, "A lion, my Lord!I stand continually on the watchtower in the daytime;I have sat at my post every night. 9 And look, here comes a chariot of men with a pair of horsemen!"Then he answered and said," Babylon is fallen, is fallen!And all the carved images of her gods He has broken to the ground."
10 Oh, my threshing and the grain of my floor!That which I have heard from the LORD of hosts,The God of Israel, I have declared to you. 11 Proclamation Against Edom
The burden against Dumah. He calls to me out of Seir, "Watchman, what of the night? Watchman, what of the night?" 12 The watchman said,'The morning comes, and also the night. If you will inquire, inquire; Return! Come back!" 13 Proclamation Against Arabia
The burden against Arabia. In the forest in Arabia you will lodge,O you traveling companies of Dedanites. 14 O inhabitants of the land of Tema, Bring water to him who is thirsty;With their bread they met him who fled. 15 For they fled from the swords, from the drawn sword,From the bent bow, and from the distress of war.
16 For thus the LORD has said to me: "Within a year, according to the year of a hired man, all the glory of Kedar will fail; 17 and the remainder of the number of archers, the mighty men of the people of Kedar, will be diminished; for the LORD God of Israel has spoken it." NKJV
Please be in prayer as to the meaning of these scriptures concerning us with me. I had been shown before the manner of our nation being like Babylon. I hope that is not the case for this nation of ours. It could just be 11-12, because that is what I saw first. And here I am inquiring of you. But you all are watchmen also as alert as I. The meaning escapes me right now-Connie
