“Your right hand, O Lord, has become glorious in power; Your right hand, O Lord, has dashed the enemy in pieces. You stretched out Your right hand; The earth swallowed them. Fear and dread will fall on them; By the greatness of Your arm They will be as still as a stone, Till Your people pass over, O Lord, Till the people pass over Whom You have purchased.”
Exodus 15:6, 12, 16 NKJV
Most of us have heard the term “right hand man.” When we hear that term, we know that the person being referenced is very important to the work of the person speaking.
We also have heard people say exaggerated statements such as, “I’d give my right arm for that.” We know that this statement reflects the great importance of what they want, seeing that they would “give their right arm” for it.
Bottom line, referencing a right arm or right hand is referencing something very important, something crucial to operation.
Now, I had always read scriptures in the Bible about the Lord’s right hand, such as we see here:
“The right hand of the Lord is exalted; The right hand of the Lord does valiantly.”
Psalms 118:16 NKJV
But, it wasn’t until later in my life that I began to see that the “right arm of God” references more than we might suppose. Before I elaborate, let’s look at these two prophetic passages from the book of Isaiah:
“So truth fails, And he who departs from evil makes himself a prey. Then the Lord saw it, and it displeased Him That there was no justice. He saw that there was no man, And wondered that there was no intercessor; Therefore His own arm brought salvation for Him; And His own righteousness, it sustained Him. For He put on righteousness as a breastplate, And a helmet of salvation on His head; He put on the garments of vengeance for clothing, And was clad with zeal as a cloak.”
Isaiah 59:15-17 NKJV
“For the day of vengeance is in My heart, And the year of My redeemed has come. I looked, but there was no one to help, And I wondered That there was no one to uphold; Therefore My own arm brought salvation for Me; And My own fury, it sustained Me.”
Isaiah 63:4-5 NKJV
These two prophetic passages—without argument—reference the work of Jesus Christ.
Today we find Moses referencing the victory they had experienced against Pharaoh as having been done by God’s right hand. Yes, God’s arm brought these things to pass.
Now, in order to directly see Who Moses is referencing, let’s consider this scripture:
“Moreover, brethren, I do not want you to be unaware that all our fathers were under the cloud, all passed through the sea, all were baptized into Moses in the cloud and in the sea, and all drank the same spiritual drink. For they drank of that spiritual Rock that followed them, and that Rock was Christ.”
1 Corinthians 10:1-4 NKJV
We see here that the apostle Paul clearly references Christ as being the sustaining source of the children of Israel during the wilderness journey.
Indeed, when Moses references the right hand of God having brought their victory, he is referencing Christ, our Lord.
Many scriptures reference Christ as being seated at the right hand of God. In fact, Jesus referenced Himself that way.
“Jesus said to him, “It is as you said. Nevertheless, I say to you, hereafter you will see the Son of Man sitting at the right hand of the Power, and coming on the clouds of heaven.””
Matthew 26:64 NKJV
With that, we must also realize that Jesus does more than just SIT at the right hand of God, He IS the right hand of God!
It’s a wonderful thing to know that the Lord reaches out to us through His mighty Right Hand.
And—not only does God bring victory through His right hand—He brought our very salvation through the outreaching of His right hand, our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
Today let us discover what Moses discovered:
The right hand of the Lord is a Person.
Peace to you.
Jesus is coming! Get ready for Him!
