Bible Verses About Arm of the Lord: 12

"Who has believed our message and to whom has the arm of the Lord been revealed?"

— Isaiah 53:1 (NIV)

People who search bible verses about Arm of the Lord want Scripture on Isaiah's zeroa YHWH — the Lord's arm revealed in saving power — not only the broader Strength inventory. This page is a numbered list of twelve passages with the NIV text and a short note on each. Related lists: Bible verses about strength, Bible verses about Jesus, Bible verses about salvation, Bible verses about God's glory, Bible verses about hope, Bible verses about faith, Bible verses about redemption, Bible verses about protection, and Bible verse of the day. Arm of the Lord here means the Lord's revealed saving arm — distinct from Strength surveys alone.

Word study (lead theme). In Hebrew, "arm" is זְרוֹעַ zeroa (Strong's H2220; Bible Hub H2220) — arm, strength, or force. Isaiah 53:1 asks to whom the arm of the Lord has been revealed; John 12:38 cites that line of Jesus. This list tracks that arm, not every strength verse alone.

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on Isaiah 53 presses that few believe the report of the suffering Servant, though the arm of the Lord is revealed in him (Bible Hub MHC Isaiah 53; Blue Letter Bible, Matthew Henry on Isaiah 53). (Strength lives on that page; this list centers zeroa YHWH.)
