Hey Craig,
How come the Bible
orders to kill in Psalms 137:9?
Thanks,
Tom
Dear Tom,
In Psalms 137:9 the words,
“ Happy shall he be, that taketh and dasheth thy little ones against the
stones,” alludes to Isaiah's prophecy.
Psalms 137:8-9 O daughter of
Babylon, you devastated one, How blessed will be the one who repays you With
the recompense with which you have repaid us. 9 How blessed will be the
one who seizes and dashes your little ones Against the rock. New American Standard Bible - Updated
Edition
In Isaiah 13:16 success
to Cyrus and Darius is assured thru the prophetic words; Yahweh used them as his
rods to punish his enemies, when the two pagan kings moved to fight against
Babylon.
Isaiah 13:16-19 Their infants
also will be dashed to pieces before their eyes; their houses will be plundered
and their wives ravished. 17
Behold, I will stir up the Medes against them, who have no regard for silver
and do not delight in gold and thus cannot be bribed. 18 Their bows will
cut down the young men of Babylon; and they will have no pity on the fruit of
the womb, their eyes will not spare children.
19 And Babylon, the glory of kingdoms, the beauty of the
Chaldeans' pride, shall be like Sodom and Gomorrah when God overthrew them.
Amplified Bible

be ready to give reasonable justification to anyone who asks you for an
explanation of the hope that is within you,
but do it considerately and courteously.
