Listen and Wake Up! (4): Arm of the Lord, Awake! (Isaiah 51:9-11) by Rev. Angus Stewart
I. The Profound Prayer
II. The Beautiful Promise
III. The Rich Fulfilment
Albert Barnes on Isaiah 51:9: “The arm is the instrument by which we execute any purpose. It is that by which the warrior engages in battle, and by which he wields the weapon to prostrate his foes. The arm of [Jehovah] had seemed to slumber; For seventy years the prophet sees the oppressed and suffering people in bondage, and God had not come forth to rescue them. He hears them now lifting the voice of earnest and tender entreaty, that He would interpose as He had in former times, and save them from the calamities which they were enduring.”
