Boney M : Rivers of Babylon

 


Rivers of Babylon was written by the Jamaican group The Melodians. It’s based on Psalm 137 which expresses the yearning of the Israelite exiles in Babylon for their homeland and Jerusalem. Not the first rock group to use the Bible for inspiration in a song.

The song became a #1 hit for Bony M, a German disco group. They kept the Jamaican reggae feel and Caribbean steel drums and pump up that disco beat. Wikipedia

    Hi.
    I found your Web Site by Google
    And I wish you the best you can get,
    the peace of God through Jesus Christ.

    Welcome to visit my Site.

    The Bridegroom comes, Come out to meet him. Matt. 25:6. From where shall we go out? We shall go out of the great Babylon, the great whore. Rev. Chapter 17 and 18. This command of the Lord in Rev. 18:4 is now highly topical.

    Never before we have been so nearly Jesus’ coming as we are now, but how are God’s people prepared? How is the unity in the faith? Sorry, very bad! God’s people are more divided now than ever before. Instead of following what the Bible teaches about the Assembly of God, they have followed Satan’s false assembly doctrine. They believe that the Assembly of God is constituted of church systems and many religious organizations.

    Most Christians have not yet begun to prepare for Jesus’ coming. They can speak and write that Jesus shall come, and about the signs of the time, yet they do not make any preparation to meet Jesus. How can we make a preparation?

    To make preparation and be ready for Jesus’ coming, God’s people must get the knowledge of the Assembly of God.

    All God’s people must in the first hand begin to study what the Bible teaches about the Assembly of God. What we need now before the restoration of the Assembly of God, it is humility before God’s word and a forgivable disposition to each other.

    The Assembly of God is no Pentecostal church. Please, consider what this expression “the Assembly of God” in the reality implies. The Assembly of God must be the same as the Greek word “ekklesia”, and the Body of Christ. 1 Cor. 12:12-31. Then it is easy to understand that this has nothing to do with the Pentecostal Movement. Pentecostal churches have existed about 100 years, but the Assembly of God has ever existed since Jesus baptized his first disciples by the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit gave them the new life in Christ so that they became born anew. Then the Assembly of God was born.
