Hebrew · zer-O-ah Adonai
Arm of the Lord
זְרוֹעַ יְהוָה
The Lord's outstretched arm — His power in action to save
Symbol: The arm stretched out over the sea — strength that parts what is impassable
“Who has believed our message and to whom has the arm of the LORD been revealed?”
Isaiah 53:1
Isaiah's question opens the greatest chapter on Christ's suffering. The arm of the Lord — God's saving power — was revealed not in spectacle but in a servant's wounds.
What the name means
The arm of the Lord parted the Red Sea and brought Israel out of Egypt; the same arm reached its fullest stretch on a cross.
Isaiah 53 is the answer: the arm is revealed in the Suffering Servant. Power that saves through sacrifice, not spectacle.
Pray this name when God's power seems hidden — the arm is working where it looks weakest.
How to pray this name
- Pray: 'Arm of the Lord, be revealed in my life — even through suffering.'
- Ask for eyes to see His power where it seems most concealed.
Arm of the Lord, stretch out over my impossibility. I trust the power revealed in the cross. In the Mighty Name of Jesus! Amen.
Declaration
The arm of the Lord is not shortened — His saving power reaches me wherever I am.
