Isaiah 21: Babylon, Edom, Arabia

 In Isaiah 21 we see again the fall of Babylon. In Isaiah 14, we saw that the Medes would destroy Babylon, but this time we read: "Elamites and Medes will take part in the siege". I didn´t understand the reaction of Isaiah due to the revelation: "4 My mind reels; my heart races; I am gripped by awful fear. All rest at night—so pleasant once—is gone; I lie awake, trembling.". Why would him be gripped by awful fear? We see a prophecy against Edom: "12 The watchman replies, “Your judgment day is dawning now. Turn again to God, so that I can give you better news. Seek for him, then come and ask again!” and against Arabia: 16 “But a long year from now,” says the Lord, “the great power of their enemy, the mighty tribe of Kedar, will end.
