The song opens with a nod to Mathew 5:9 saying blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called children of God. This is talking definately about the anti-war movement.
And the next obvious bible reference is to the garden.
All in all, it was a smart way to protest a war that was supported by Christian fundementalists. Using their beliefs against them. Good song, excellent message.
