Lukas 1:71

71 daß er uns errettete von unseren Feinden und von der Hand aller, die uns hassen,

Lukas 1:71 Meaning and Commentary

Luke 1:71

That we should be saved from our enemies
This, and the two following verses, either contain and express the sum and substance of what God spake by the prophets; or point out the end or ends of his raising up an horn of salvation, or a Saviour for his people; namely, that they should be saved by him from their enemies: from sin, which wars against the soul, and threatens the destruction of it; from Satan, the avowed and implacable adversary of mankind; from the world, the seed of the serpent, which has always bore an enmity to the seed of the woman; from the law, the killing letter; and from death, the last enemy that is to be destroyed;

and from the hand of all that hate us:
which is only an illustration of the former sentence, or a repetition of it in other words; and designs the same as before.

Lukas 1:71 In-Context

69 und hat uns aufgerichtet ein Horn des Heils in dem Hause seines Dieners David,

70 wie er vorzeiten geredet hat durch den Mund des Propheten: {~} {~}

71 daß er uns errettete von unseren Feinden und von der Hand aller, die uns hassen,

72 und Barmherzigkeit erzeigte unsern Vätern und gedächte an seinen heiligen Bund

73 und an den Eid, den er geschworen hat unserm Vater Abraham, uns zu geben,
