Isaiah 49:6
And he said, It is a light thing that thou shouldest be my servant to raise up the tribes of Jacob, and to restore the preserved of Israel: I will also give thee for a light to the Gentiles, that thou mayest be my salvation unto the end of the earth.

Psalm 22:27
All the ends of the world shall remember and turn unto the LORD: and all the kindreds of the nations shall worship before thee.

Luke 3:6
And all flesh shall see the salvation of God.

in the sight of all the nations;
This indicates the universal scope of God's actions. The deliverance and salvation God provides are not limited to Israel but are meant to be witnessed by all nations. This reflects the Abrahamic covenant inGenesis 12:3, where God promises that all peoples on earth will be blessed through Abraham's descendants. It underscores the theme of God's sovereignty over all nations and His plan for global redemption, which is further fulfilled in the Great Commission (Matthew 28:19).

all the ends of the earth will see
This phrase emphasizes the comprehensive reach of God's salvation. "All the ends of the earth" suggests that no part of the world is excluded from witnessing God's mighty acts. This is prophetic of the spread of the Gospel, as seen inActs 1:8, where the disciples are commanded to be witnesses "to the ends of the earth." It highlights the inclusivity of God's salvation plan, transcending geographical and cultural boundaries.

the salvation of our God.
The term "salvation" here refers to deliverance from oppression and sin. In the immediate context, it likely points to the return from Babylonian exile, but it also foreshadows the ultimate salvation through Jesus Christ. The phrase "our God" personalizes the relationship between God and His people, affirming His faithfulness and covenantal promises. This salvation is not just physical but spiritual, culminating in the redemptive work of Christ, as seen in passages likeJohn 3:16 andRomans 1:16, where salvation is offered to all who believe.

“The LORD has bared His holy arm…” (Isaiah 52:10a)

• Picture a warrior rolling up his sleeve before battle; the Almighty publicly “bares” His own arm, a vivid promise of personal intervention.

• Scripture often uses God’s “arm” to signal decisive power: “Your right hand, O LORD, is majestic in power” (Exodus 15:6); “He has performed mighty deeds with His arm” (Luke 1:51).

• The arm is called “holy,” reminding us that every act of deliverance flows from His pure, set-apart character.

• This unveiling points ahead to the Messiah, of whom Isaiah later asks, “To whom has the arm of the LORD been revealed?” (Isaiah 53:1). Christ’s incarnation, miracles, cross, and resurrection are the ultimate display of that arm.

“…in the sight of all the nations…” (Isaiah 52:10b)

• God never intended His saving work to remain hidden or provincial. From the start He told Abraham, “All the peoples on earth will be blessed through you” (Genesis 12:3).

•Psalm 98:2 echoes the same theme: “The LORD has made His salvation known and revealed His righteousness to the nations.”

• The Great Commission fulfills this global stage: “I have made you a light for the Gentiles, to bring salvation to the ends of the earth” (Acts 13:47).

• History confirms the prophecy: the gospel has crossed languages, borders, and centuries, just as God declared.

“…all the ends of the earth will see the salvation of our God.” (Isaiah 52:10c)

• God’s plan culminates in universal visibility—people from every corner witnessing His rescue.Psalm 98:3 states, “All the ends of the earth have seen the salvation of our God,” andLuke 3:6 repeats it at John the Baptist’s ministry.

• “Salvation” is not an abstract concept; it is a Person—Jesus, whose very name means “The LORD saves.”Acts 4:12 affirms, “There is no other name under heaven given to men by which we must be saved.”

•Revelation 7:9 pictures the prophecy completed: “a great multitude…from every nation, tribe, people, and tongue” standing before the Lamb.

• The promise is both present and future. Today, countless lives testify to His rescue; one day, every eye will see it fully revealed.

God rolls up His sleeve and acts. His holy power is displayed publicly, not in a corner. The Messiah embodies that arm, carrying salvation beyond Israel to every nation.Isaiah 52:10 assures us that the global spread of the gospel is no accident; it is the ordained outcome of God’s character and promise. All the earth will see what He has done, and no corner will remain untouched by the saving reach of His mighty arm.
