God is not only strong enough to defeat the false pagan deities of the Babylonians, but He can snatch them from bondage and carry them away home gently and tenderly in His everlasting Shepherd arms. 

How we need this assurance in the weary world of woe in which we wage spiritual warfare today. 

How we need a strong and gentle shepherd to love and lead us in our lonely journey between here and the hereafter.
