Apr 26, 2023 · In Isaiah 19:16, we see the strength of God’s hand. “In that day the Egyptians will be like women, and tremble with fear before the hand that the Lord of hosts shakes over them.”. Isaiah 19:16 (ESV) The enemy retreats in fear because of an upraised hand of the Lord. So, if the enemy flees in fear beneath the upraised hand of the Lord ...

1. Creation and Power: In Genesis 1:26, God says, “Let us make man in our image, after our likeness.”. This reference to God’s hands suggests his creative power and authority. Our fingers, as part of our hands, symbolize our ability to create, work, and impact the world around us under God’s guidance.

“Behold, I have engraved you on the palms of my hands; your walls are continually before me” (Isaiah 49:16). “Fear not, for I am with you; be not dismayed, for I am your God; I will strengthen you, I will help you, I will uphold you with my righteous right hand” (Isaiah 41:10). “My hand laid the foundation of the earth, and my right hand spread out...
There is a great deal to say about this subject, but we will focus here on just three points. The image of God’s hands symbolizes: 1. The permanence of God’s plans. 2. The presence of Christ with God. 3. God’s power made manifest through Christ.
Strong’s concordance tells us that “chaqaq” is the word translated as “engraved” in the ESV translation of Isaiah 49:16. This means “to cut in, inscribe, decree.” John MacArthur described “8 Characteristics of the Decree of God.” Three features that highlight their permanence are the unconditional, eternal, and immutable nature of those decrees. Ch...
The reference to marks on God’s hands serves as a bridge between the old covenant and the covenant of Jesus’ blood, given for all who submit to him. Going back to Isaiah 49:16, Spurgeon compares those engravings with the marks of crucifixion, a memorial Jesus sees eternally because “it is on Himself He bears the memory — the permanent memory of all...
“The Lord says to my Lord: ‘Sit at my right hand, until I make your enemies your footstool'” (Psalm 110:1). 1 Peter 3:22describes Jesus as he “who has gone into heaven and is at the right hand of God, with angels, authorities, and powers having been subjected to him.” The glorious might of his right hand “shatters the enemy” (Exodus 15:6). The rise...
As one considers the power in those hands, even symbolically, we realize how utterly shocking it is that Christ spread his arms along the cross beam and allowed soldiers to drive nails into his body; how he did not harness Creation power to obliterate his enemies but instead defeated them by submitting. “What pleased the Jews of Paul’s day? Miracul...
Those same hands, which wield such power are also extended to us in a gesture of peace. We can trust the hands, which were capable of crushing his enemies. We can trust the hands that accepted the punishment, which we deserved. We can’t trust ourselves, but we can trust the God who, by his hand, created us, and saved us. “Behold, he is coming with ...
The Bible is God’s Word, and the main reason God gave it to us is so we could know Him and allow His truth to change our lives. No, God doesn’t have hands or eyes or feet; God is a spiritual being without form or body, and He is far greater than any physical being. Sometimes the Bible speaks about God’s hands or eyes, but when it does, it ...
When the Bible says God created the human race in His image, it means that God put His character or imprint on our souls or spirits. We aren’t God–but we are like Him (although limited). Because of this, we have the ability to love, and to know right from wrong. Because we bear God’s image, we are different from the animals, and all human ...
In Exodus 31:18, the Narrator of the word of God informs the reader that at least one portion of God’s word, the tables of stone containing the ten commandments, was “written with the finger of God.”. This truth is repeated in Deuteronomy 9:10 where Moses said, “. . . the Lord delivered unto me two tables of stone written with the ...

Jan 9, 2007 · A person who is “in another’s hand” is under his control. Many times “hand” is employed in idiomatic phrases. A person who “takes a hand in” or “lends a hand” in a project or cause is actively involved in helping with it. If we “have our hands full” we are very busy or have many tasks to perform. A suitor who proposes to ...
