1 The idols of Babylon could not save themselves.3 God saves his people to the end.5 Idols are not comparable to God for power,12 or present salvation. Bel.Bel, called Belus by the Greek and Roman writers, is the same as Baal; and Nebo is interpreted by Castell and Norberg of Mercury; the two principal idols of Babylon. When that city was taken by the Persians, these images were carried in triumph. 21:9; 41:6,7; Ex 12:12; 1Sa 5:3; Jer 48:1-25; 50:2; 51:44,47,52a burden.2:20; Jer 10:5 they could.36:18,19; 37:12,19; 44:17; 45:20but.Jud 18:17,18,24; 2Sa 5:21; Jer 43:12,13; 48:7themselves are.

(Isa 21:9; 46:1. Jer 50:2; 51:44, 47, 52.) What God declares, "I will punish Bel in Babylon, and I will bring forth that which he has swallowed," was also literally fulfilled, when the vessels of the house of God, which Nebuchadnezzar had brought from Jerusalem and placed in the temple of Bel, Da 1:2, were restored by order of Cyrus, Ezr 1:7, and again carried to Jerusalem.
