Luke 11:20

But if I with the, finger of God
The power of God, referring to ( Exodus 8:19 ) and so the Cabalistic Jews F18 explain it,

``the finger is one of the five in the hand, and is that finger which works by the power of Elohim;''

it is the same with the Spirit of God; (See Gill on Matthew 12:28) which is often called the hand of the Lord, ( Ezekiel 1:3 ) ( 3:22 ) ( 37:1 ) ( 40:1 ) .

Luke 11:20 In-Context

18 If Satan cancels Satan, is there any Satan left? You accuse me of ganging up with the Devil, the prince of demons, to cast out demons,
19 but if you're slinging devil mud at me, calling me a devil who kicks out devils, doesn't the same mud stick to your own exorcists?
20 But if it's God's finger I'm pointing that sends the demons on their way, then God's kingdom is here for sure.
21 "When a strong man, armed to the teeth, stands guard in his front yard, his property is safe and sound.
22 But what if a stronger man comes along with superior weapons? Then he's beaten at his own game, the arsenal that gave him such confidence hauled off, and his precious possessions plundered.
