Historically, Israel faced numerous adversaries, including Egypt, Assyria, Babylon, and Rome. The concept of salvation here is not only spiritual but also physical and national. In the context of <a href="/luke/1.htm">Luke 1</a>, Zechariah's prophecy connects to the hope for a Messiah who would liberate Israel. This echoes the deliverance narratives found in Exodus and the Judges, where God repeatedly saves His people from their enemies. Theologically, this salvation is ultimately fulfilled in Jesus Christ, who provides deliverance from sin and spiritual enemies, as seen in <a href="/ephesians/6-12.htm">Ephesians 6:12</a>, where Paul speaks of the spiritual forces of evil.<p><b>and from the hand of all who hate us</b><br>This phrase emphasizes the personal and communal aspect of deliverance. The "hand" symbolizes power and control, suggesting liberation from those who exert oppressive force. In the biblical narrative, hatred towards God's people often stems from their unique covenant relationship with Him, as seen in the animosity of surrounding nations. This enmity is also spiritual, as believers face opposition from those who reject God's truth. The Psalms frequently express a cry for deliverance from such hatred (e.g., <a href="/psalms/25-19.htm">Psalm 25:19</a>). In the New Testament, Jesus teaches love for enemies (<a href="/matthew/5-44.htm">Matthew 5:44</a>), transforming the understanding of how to respond to hatred. Ultimately, the promise of deliverance is fulfilled in Christ, who conquers all forms of enmity through His death and resurrection, as highlighted in <a href="/colossians/2-15.htm">Colossians 2:15</a>, where He disarms the powers and authorities.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/z/zechariah.htm">Zechariah</a></b><br>The father of John the Baptist, who prophesied these words after the birth of his son.

When Zacharias spoke these words, his mind, no doubt, was on Rome and its creatures, Herod and his party, whom Rome had set up. The deliverance of Israel, in every Hebrew heart, was the first and great work of the coming Deliverer; but the inspired words had a far broader reference than to Rome, and the enemies of Israelitic prosperity. The expression includes those spiritual evil agencies which war their ceaseless warfare against the soul of man. It was from these that the coming Deliverer would free his people. It was only after the fall of Jerusalem, and the total extinction of the national existence of the people, that, to use Dean Plumptre's language, "what was transitory in the hymn vanished, and the words gained the brighter permanent sense which they have had for centuries in the worship of the Church of Christ." <span class="p"><br /><br /></span><span class="versiontext"><a href="/commentaries/luke/1-71.htm">Parallel Commentaries ...</a></span><span class="p"><br /><br /><br /></span><a name="lexicon" id="lexicon"></a><div class="vheading">Greek</div><span class="word">salvation</span><br /><span class="grk">σωτηρίαν</span> <span class="translit">(sōtērian)</span><br /><span class="parse">Noun - Accusative Feminine Singular<br /></span><span class="str"><a href="/greek/strongs_4991.htm">Strong's 4991: </a> </span><span class="str2">Feminine of a derivative of soter as noun; rescue or safety.</span><br /><br /><span class="word">from</span><br /><span class="grk">ἐξ</span> <span class="translit">(ex)</span><br /><span class="parse">Preposition<br /></span><span class="str"><a href="/greek/strongs_1537.htm">Strong's 1537: </a> </span><span class="str2">From out, out from among, from, suggesting from the interior outwards.
