Questions for Reflection

Analysis & Commentary
The Almighty scattering kings 'in it' (the land) was 'white as snow in Salmon'—a mountain in Israel. The image suggests complete victory, like snow covering a dark mountain, making it white and pure. God's triumph over earthly powers is so thorough that the very landscape reflects His purity and holiness. This points to Christ's ultimate victory that will renew all creation (Revelation 21:5).
