A Self-Sufficient Savior
Commentators emphasize that God comes "with a strong hand" and "his arm will rule for him." This means His power is entirely His own, needing no outside help. Scholars like Calvin and Gill explain that He is fully sufficient to accomplish His work of salvation and defeat any foe. Matthew Henry notes that while Satan is a "strong man armed," our Lord Jesus is stronger.
