The Everlasting Covenant

The Arm of the Lord

5. It was to the Arm of the Lord, that Moses ascribed the deliverance. But the Arm of the Lord, which brought ancient Israel out of Egypt and through the Red Sea—that mighty Arm which tenderly gathers the lambs, and which the prophet invokes to arise in behalf of His people in the last days ¹—the Arm which shows to all the ends of the earth the salvation of God, ² is nothing else than Christ the Despised and Crucified. (See Isaiah 4.) So here again we have another evidence that the Gospel of deliverance from Egypt is the Gospel of deliverance from “this present evil world,” by Christ who “gave Himself for our sins.” ³ EVCO 216.1
