Psalm 137:9
Happy the one who takes and dashes Your little ones against the rock!
Happy? The word here could also be translated as “blessed.”
But try to picture the scene. Was this like baby piñata day?
Imagine a soldier coming home from a day of baby-smashing. His wife greets him at the door with a kiss. “So how was your day, honey?” she says.
“Great! God was really at work in me today! I got to smash babies against a rock wall! We all praised God as we did it. The Spirit was really moving! I must have killed ten or twelve, but that Joash, he got over twenty! He’s a beast! The best part is that now we are going to be blessed because of all the babies we killed. I’m standing on the promises of God!”
