Psa 137:9 | MHM | STEP | v. 9 : The destruction of Babylon will be complete, even reaching its children: “Happy shall he be who takes your little ones and dashes them against the rock!” (Psalm 137:9 ). This verse describes the harsh reality of war and judgment. Babylon’s end will be total and final, like a stone sinking in the sea (Revelation 18:21 ). The agents of Babylon’s fall, like Cyrus and his soldiers, are called God’s “servants” and “sanctified ones” (Isaiah 44:28; Isaiah 13:3 ), because they fulfill His plan. When evil is punished, it brings hope for God’s people and joy for all the saints (Revelation 19:1 ).
