Just bought this disc in a $1 bin. Loved Zeppelin long before I became a Christian, and still keep a select few songs on my ipod. (Ones that aren’t overtly Satanic.) Seems obvious to me that this song speaks sympathetically, from the perspective of Palestine, bemoaning Israel’s hypocrisy in claiming to be the guardians of God’s truth while simultaneously using military means to protect themselves. It’s a muddy debate that won’t be settled until Jesus returns. In my mind, not accepting Jesus as Messiah would afford the Jews that luxury of conscience, as they reject some of Jesus’ teaching in the New Testament against non-resistance. It is my opinion that God is using the tainted interpretations of the Biblical role of a theocratic government to prolong the earth’s most ancient conflicts, affording as many as would be willing the opportunity to find the truth. The ambiguity of references to the “Most High” is likely intentional, and possibly even sarcastic. Only Page and Plant know for sure. Searching the occult for the Unknowable Most High is the age-old dead end. Better to search the Bible for the real Jesus while there’s still time.
