If you read the Word, there are a lot of things you will find that will utterly shock you, jaw dropped, tracks stopped. I submit to you perhaps one of the biggest of the sentence shockers: Ps137:9.
"How blessed will be the one who seizes and dashes your little ones against the rock."
I literally am not sure where to go from there. The contrast between blessing and grotesque violence. The brutality against little ones. The placement of this in psalms that are generally lifted toward the Lord. I am not going to rationalize and explain why this is in there, or its purpose for edification. I won't question His inspiration of it.
But I won't defend the position that this tastes like honey.
