In light of Exodus 6:6, Deuteronomy 4:34, and Psalm 98:1-3, along with representing God’s strength, “the arm of the Lord” also represents his mercy and his salvation available to all people. The Lord’s powerful arm is outstretched as a symbol to all that He reaches out to us and extends his offer of mercy. To extend the metaphor even further, Jesus is the arm of the Lord and the strength of the Lord in the world. He represents God, performing miracles and healing the sick in order to draw people to God and extend salvation and eternal life to them.
