Good morning, dear and respected teacher and Pastor. Thanks for the study(always). The volume of this video is very very low, I mention it because probably are many that as I, download this internet page, but it cannot be played back due to the very low volume. This could be a little note that can help many to get a better access at the lessons. Thanks.
Hi, thanks for sharing your concern. As we play on our devices, it seems like we do not have any problem with the volume on our side. Please check your devices to see if there are any malfunctions on them.
Thank you for your questions regarding Psalm 137. It is obvious that I was unclear and misspoke. This Psalm was not written by David. David was the second ruler of the united kingdom of ancient Israel and Judah in 1000 BCE. Nebuchadnezzar conquered Jerusalem and took Daniel and his friends captive in 606/605BCE and returned to burn and pillage the city in 587BCE. Jeremiah predicted the seventy-year captivity that would have begun in 605BCE (Jer. 25:1, 9-13)). The Medes and Persians conquered Babylon in 539BCE bringing the seventy- year captivity to an end with the decree of Cyrus to allow the Jews to return to Jerusalem. Psalm 137 would have been written at the end of their captivity reflected back on the hardships of their time in Babylon. It states, “By the rivers of Babylon (Tigris and Euphrates) there we sat down and yea we wept when we remembered Zion.”(Psalm 137:1) The past tense may indicate that their captivity was over and they were reflecting on their heart longing for their homeland. The Psalm continues with the taunts of their enemies saying, “ Sing us one of the songs of Zion” and their response, “ how can we sing the Lord’s song in a foreign land.”(Psalm 137:3,4) Ellen White makes this insightful comment on Psalm 137: "Not all who were carried away into Babylonian captivity by the great king Nebuchadnezzar had been condemned and rejected by the Lord. This the records very clearly show. How many innocent, faithful ones were among the captives is not known. But of the devotion and loyalty of some, we have this beautiful testimony: AGP 144.1 “By the rivers of Babylon, There we sat down, yea, we wept, When we remembered Zion. Upon the willows in the midst thereof We hanged up our harps. For there they that led us captive required of us songs, And they that wasted us required of us mirth, saying, Sing us one of the songs of Zion. How shall we sing Jehovah’s song In a foreign land?” Psalm 137:1-4, A. R. V. Although in captivity in a heathen kingdom, with small prospect of living long enough to return to their cherished land and city and sacred sanctuary, they declared their eternal loyalty to their Lord." One scholar states, “Psalm 137 overwhelmingly displays the torment brought on by the Babylonian Captivity and while an exact date of its writing is not known, a large number of scholars believe it was composed near the end of the exile, before any of the Israelites were allowed to return to Jerusalem, following the edict of Cyrus. However, some scholars believe it was written shortly after the first wave of Jews returned to Jerusalem but before Babylon was destroyed.” Matthew Henry adds, “There are divers psalms which are thought to have been penned in the latter days of the Jewish church, when prophecy was near expiring and the canon of the Old Testament ready to be closed up, but none of them appears so plainly to be of a late date as this, which was penned when the people of God were captives in Babylon, and there insulted over by these proud oppressors; probably it was towards the latter end of their captivity; for now they saw the destruction of Babylon hastening on apace (v. 8), which would be their discharge. It is a mournful psalm, a lamentation; and the Septuagint makes it one of the lamentations of Jeremiah, naming him for the author of it. Here I. The melancholy captives cannot enjoy themselves (v. 1, 2). II. They cannot humour their proud oppressors (v. 3, 4). III. They cannot forget Jerusalem (v. 5, 6). IV. They cannot forgive Edom and Babylon (v. 7-9). In singing this psalm we must be much affected with the concernments of the church, especially that part of it that is in affliction, laying the sorrows of God's people near our hearts, comforting ourselves in the prospect of the deliverance of the church and the ruin of its enemies, in due time, but carefully avoiding all personal animosities, and not mixing the leaven of malice with our sacrifices.” Once again thank you for your questions and I trust that this short explanation answers your questions and clears up any misunderstanding. May our wonderful Lord bless your life abundantly this week. Pastor Mark
