‏ Isaiah 21:10

The Comfort for God’s people

Here the threshing by God becomes clear. Threshing is God’s means of discipling His people. He uses the nations as an instrument to thresh and strike His people (cf. Isa 10:5). That is to get rid of the chaff and keep the wheat.

With this message Isaiah wants to encourage and warn his people. He does not bring the people a message invented by himself, as modern theologians would have us believe, but passes on what he has heard from the LORD, the God of His people. From the Lord Jesus we read that He speaks what He saw with His father (Jn 8:38). We too may pass on what we have learned from the Lord and not our own ideas and interpretations.
