The member of the body which is capable of lifting burdens and defending the person: it is used symbolically for the power and strength of God on behalf of His saints. Exodus 15:16; Psalm 77:15; Isaiah 51:9; Isaiah 53:1 . The arm of Jehovah is often spoken of in the O.T. It redeemed, Exodus 6:6; etc.; gathers His own, Isaiah 40:11; and rules for Him, Isaiah 40:10 , as in the kingdom. It is a holy arm, Isaiah 52:10; Psalm 98:1; and it is a glorious arm, Isaiah 63:12 . The arm of the Lord is revealed to souls where there is repentance and faith in the report which God sends. Isaiah 53:1; Romans 10:16 . It is to be trusted in even by the isles of the Gentiles, that is, by sinners everywhere in creation. Isaiah 51:5 .
