Isaiah 20:3
_ _ three years — Isaiah’s symbolical action did not continue all this time, but at intervals, to keep it before the people’s mind during that period [Rosenmuller]. Rather, join “three years” with “sign,” a three years’ sign, that is, a sign that a three years’ calamity would come on Egypt and Ethiopia [Barnes], (Isaiah 8:18). This is the only instance of a strictly symbolical act performed by Isaiah. With later prophets, as Jeremiah and Ezekiel, such acts were common. In some cases they were performed, not literally, but only in prophetic vision.
_ _ wonder — rather, “omen”; conveying a threat as to the future [G. V. Smith].
_ _ upon — in reference to, against. |
Isaiah 20:3
Three years — Not constantly, but when he went abroad among the people, to whom this was appointed for a sign. A sign — When this judgment should come, namely, three years after this prophecy. |

Revelation 11:2-3 But the court which is without the temple leave out, and measure it not; for it is given unto the Gentiles: and the holy city shall they tread under foot forty [and] two months. ... And I will give [power] unto my two witnesses, and they shall prophesy a thousand two hundred [and] threescore days, clothed in sackcloth.
