Psalm 137
By the rivers of Babylon, there we sat down, yea, we wept, when we remembered Zion. We hanged our harps upon the willows in the midst thereof. For there they that carried us away captive required of us a song; and they that wasted us required of us mirth, saying, Sing us one of the songs of Zion. How shall we sing the LORD'S song in a strange land? If I forget thee, O Jerusalem, let my right hand forget her cunning. If I do not remember thee, let my tongue cleave to the roof of my mouth; if I prefer not Jerusalem above my chief joy. Remember, O LORD, the children of Edom in the day of Jerusalem; who said, Rase it, rase it, even to the foundation thereof. O daughter of Babylon, who art to be destroyed; happy shall he be, that rewardeth thee as thou hast served us. Happy shall he be, that taketh and dasheth thy little ones against the stones.-Psalm 137:1-9/the complete psalm***Before the Babylonians (Chaldeans) invaded Judah and Jerusalem in the Promised Land and took many Israelites to Babylon, Habakkuk the prophet spoke to the Lord God about the Israelites' sin. Habakkuk sought answers from the Lord God regarding the Babylonians, people more wicked and sinful and less righteous than the Israelites. The Lord God spoke to Habakkuk of the consequences awaiting the Babylonians. The divinely inspired Scriptures of the Holy Bible reveal that the Lord God gave Isaiah the prophet and Jeremiah the prophet other details regarding the destruction of Babylon, and the Lord God gave Obadiah the prophet a revelation concerning the Edomites. One of the Israelites taken captive by the Babylonians wrote a divinely inspired psalm that mentioned the mocking attitude of the Edomites, the descendants of Abraham (Abram the Hebrew) and Sarah (Sarai), Isaac and Rebekah, and Isaac and Rebekah's oldest fraternal twin son Esau (Edom). The Israelites descended from Isaac and Rebekah's youngest fraternal twin son Jacob (Israel). Over 500 years after Israelites began returning to Judah and Jerusalem, Jesus the Christ, the Son of God, was born. Jesus was conceived of the Holy Spirit in the womb of Mary, a virgin, and Jesus was born into the tribe of Jacob's 4th born son Judah to Mary and her husband Joseph when Mary was a virgin.-Genesis 11:26-50:26, Exodus, Numbers 20:1-29, 27:12-23, Deuteronomy 31:1-30, 32:44-52, 34:1-12, Joshua 1:1-4:24, 23:1-24:33, Judges 1:1-2:23, 1 Samuel, 2 Samuel, 1 Kings, 2 Kings, 1 Chronicles 1:1-2:17, 3:1-24, 10:1-29:30, 2 Chronicles, Ezra, Isaiah 13:1-14:32, 21:1-17, 43:1-28, 47:1-15, Jeremiah 39:1-18, 50:1-52:34, Obadiah, Habakkuk, Matthew, Mark, Luke, John, Acts 1:1-26
