Bob Dylan's "All Along The Watchtower" Song Video - Is it Christian inspired?

"All along the Watchtower" by Bob Dylan has always been one of the most important songs in my life. I used to lie on the floor in the dark and listen to it for hours, over and over. I didn't know why then. Much later in life I found Christ. In my quiet time this morning, I read Isaiah 21:6-9 and then found this post. I finally am sure what had to inspire this song's lyrics. Listen to those lyrics while you contemplate the scripture quoted below the video:

"For the Lord has said to me, "Go, post a lookout; let him report what he sees.

When he sees riders — pairs of horsemen, riders on donkeys, riders on camels — pay close attention."

Then the lookout reported, "Lord, I stand on the watchtower all day, and I stay at my post all night.

Look, riders come — horsemen in pairs." And he answered, saying, "Babylon has fallen, ^B)"> has fallen. All the idols of her gods have been shattered on the ground."

Dylan was pretty reserved and didn't much like being idolized. Note the last stanza above. Maybe he just wanted to be left alone. Was he a Believer earlier than thought? His performance of this song preceded his Christian Period in 1979-1981 by about a decade. Following that period, he seemed to leave his faith behind, evidently upset with being lionized by the Christian community. Some say not, that he still opens his concerts with a gospel song. I'm one of those "some".

These links go to 2 songs from that 3-album "Christian Period" that I particularly listen to:

"Gotta Serve Somebody"
"Slow Train Coming"

Vaya con Dios!
