Bob Dylan in his early career made many references to God and Jesus, In " Masters of War, he says " Even Jesus would never forgive what you do." In with God on our side he sings " Jesus Christ was betrayed by a kiss/ but I can't think for ya/ you'll have to decide whether Judas Iscariot had God on his side. This song is not about drugs, although Dylan used them in the 60s and beyond, he was mainly a wine drinker then switched to Jack Daniels. This song relates to the Old Testament in the Bible, Long ships = Noah's Ark. Monuments = the Tower at Babel Quinn is the Savior the Jews in the old Testament were waiting for.
An awful lot of Dylan's songs have Biblical references, before , during and after he became " Born Again" He may have been among the first Jews for Jesus members who acknowledge Jesus Christ as the Savior, but still cling to the ancient Hebrew Rituals. Just as " Christians for Isreal, both are growing in number of members . That's only my opinion, don't take it personal
