43 –Medes & Persians Conquer Babylon

The destruction of the city of Babylon by the Medes and Persians. The prophet is terrified at the vision shown him—at the devastation, the ruin, the carnage (see Isaiah13:18). He is not considering how well deserved the punishment is. He does not yet know how that, in destroying Babylon, God will be avenging the sufferings of his own nation. Go up, O Elam; besiege, O Media; Elam (a region that merged into Persia) is summoned to go up against Babylon, and, combined with the forces of Media, to besiege it.
