ישעיהו, פרק נ״ב, פסוק י׳

The future redemption is destined to be a dramatic, undeniably public event where God intervenes openly in human history. To convey this, prophetic imagery describes God baring His holy arm. Scripture often employs human physical terms to make profound concepts easier for people to grasp [אבן עזרא]. This metaphor paints a picture of God as a mighty warrior exposing His arm, preparing to strike down the enemy with immense power [מצודת דוד, אבן עזרא]. Alternatively, it evokes the relatable image of a person rolling up His sleeves, ready to get to work [שד״ל].

This display of power will happen before the eyes of all nations, meaning that the salvation of Israel and their release from exile will be completely visible to the entire world [רד״ק, צאינה וראינה]. God will bring about massive, supernatural miracles that do not rely on human merit. Because these events will be seen so clearly, the nations of the world will understand that this rescue is not a random occurrence or a natural historical shift, but a distinctly divine act. This profound realization will ultimately lead to the recognition of the kingdom of heaven across the globe [מלבי״ם].

The scope of this salvation will reach the absolute edges of the earth, extending to the most distant places where the land itself seems to end and fade into nothingness [מצודת ציון, אבן עזרא]. Every inhabitant, even in the most remote corners of the world, will witness this event [מצודת דוד, ביאור שטיינזלץ]. As the redemption is fully revealed and ancient expectations are realized, all nations and earthly rulers will see the comfort brought to Zion and acknowledge the undeniable reality of God's salvation [ביאור שטיינזלץ, צאינה וראינה].
