Summary

This quote suggests that even the strength and power of non-believers or those of different faiths, who have not been physically conquered, can crumble or fade away in the presence or judgment of God. It implies that divine intervention or influence can have a profound impact, causing even the seemingly invincible to become insignificant or weak. The metaphor of melting snow emphasizes the sudden and complete dissipation of the Gentiles' strength and highlights the overarching authority of the Lord.
