The album's most overt Biblical reference comes in "All Along the Watchtower", inspired by a section in Isaiah dealing with the fall of Babylon. As Heylin writes, "the thief that cries 'the hour is getting late' is surely the thief in the night foretold in Revelation, Jesus Christ come again. It is He who says, in St. John the Divine's tract: 'I will come on thee as a thief, and Thou shalt not know what hour I will come upon thee.'" Dylan later said of "John Wesley Harding" that he "'had been dealing with the devil in a fretful way.'" Jimi Hendrix's dramatic 1968 interpretation of "All Along the Watchtower" became Hendrix's greatest U.S. singles chart success.
