By the Rivers of Babylon: Unpacking The Challenge of Psalm 137
1 year ago
62
Psalm 137 is a controversial passage often used by atheists to criticize God's morality. However, it also inspired the song "By the Rivers of Babylon" by Boney M. Despite its difficult content, it shouldn't be banned from the church or the Bible. The psalm is a lament expressing sorrow for the exile in Babylon, a reminder of the joy in Jerusalem's presence of God, and a call for vengeance against Babylon and Edom. This passage should be viewed through the lens of Jesus Christ's teachings and grace, moving away from an eye-for-an-eye mentality, and as a reminder to long for the New Jerusalem in Heaven.
