| Zusammenfassung: | The theological remarks on creation in Psalm 74 are of fundamental importance in dealing with the catastrophe of the destruction of the Jerusalem temple as an assembly place for the congregation. The destructive actions of the conquerors, who are represented as "agents of chaos", are contrasted in Ps 74:13-14 with God's victorious struggle against chaos in the "primeval period". There are significant references to the ugaritic Baʿal cycle, which, however, can not be related to the creatio prima. In the context of the annotations about creation in Ps 74:16-17 God is described as a sovereign ruler of space and time, who has established and guaranteed the cosmic rhythms. He is also the owner of all earthly and heavenly spaces, whereby his presence as well as his perception can not be attributed to a specific locality. Considering the destruction of the Jerusalem sanctuary this is of far-reaching theological importance. References between creation and temple arise in Psalm 74 also by the fact that, according to the Ancient Near-Eastern concept, the sanctuary represents heaven and earth as a "microcosmos established by stones" (B. Janowski). Moreover, the royal power of God, who had resided on Zion, is proved by the constant and unchanging processes of creation. |
