The story behind this one is of Babylon. This passage was a vision a prophet had to warn the sinners of the city. It was a warning from God that this is what is to come if you keep on living the way that makes him displeased. It was also a way to pause and reflect on how currupt the nature of man has become. It was in no way an order to rape and murder. But that their enemies will overtake them and God would erupt a volcano nearby.
So who is it that is 'stirring up the Medes' in that passage? I agree that the passage is not a call for Hebrews to murder children, it's a prophecy that God is going to have someone else do it.
I'm not anti-Christian. I'm anti-stupid.
