"The Arm of the Lord"

"The Arm of the Lord"



"The LORD has bared His holy arm In the sight of all the nations,That all the ends of the earth may see The salvation of our God."
-Isaiah 52:10 (NASB)


The human arm is often used in the Bible to symbolize spiritual strength or power. The word is 1st used in Jacob's dying prophecy concerning His beloved son Joseph.............

"But his bow remained firm,And his arms were agile,From the hands of the Mighty One of Jacob
From there is the Shepherd,the Stone of Israel,"
-Genesis 49:24 (NASB)

The source of all true strength is in the mighty God,so it is not a surprise to find at least 40 Biblical references to the Lord's powerful "ARM" or "ARMS." One of the most striking is our passage,In Isaiah 52-promising that when God "bares His holy arm" for His great work of delivering the lost world will see His salvation ( or will see His "Messiah" ) that's Jesus.
In a real sense,therefore."The Arm of the Lord" is none other than Jesus Christ. When He came into His world,it says in Scripture the world refused Him..Just a few verses ahead,introduces the incomparable" Isaiah 53",which poses the question?.............

"Who hath believed our message? And to whom hath the arm of Jehovah been revealed?"
-Isaiah 53:1 (ASV)

-Nevertheless,some believed,& 1st was His own mother. In the "Magnificat" spoken in faith before Jesus was born,Mary said this,in Luke's Gospel ............

"And my spirit has rejoiced in God my Savior."For He has had regard for the humble state of His bondslave;For behold,from this time on all generations will count me blessed."For the Mighty One has done great things for me;And holy is His name."AND HIS MERCY IS UPON GENERATION AFTER GENERATION TOWARD THOSE WHO FEAR HIM."He has done mighty deeds with His arm;He has scattered those who were proud in the thoughts of their heart."
-Luke 1:47-51 (NASB)

This confession of faith is the 1st use of "ARM" in the New Testament & again refers to the saving arm of God,the Lord Jesus Christ. And finally, His arm is not only mighty to save,but also secure to hold:...............

"Behold, the Lord GOD shall come with a strong hand,And His arm shall rule for Him;Behold,His reward is with Him,And His work before Him. He will feed His flock like a shepherd;He will gather the lambs with His arm,And carry them in His bosom,And gently lead those who are with young."
-Isaiah 40:10-11 (KJV)

May the Lord bless you all & may His mighty hand hold you,His arms are open waiting Everlasting loving saving.
