Isaiah 12:2
2 Behold, God ['el] is my
salvation; [yashuw`ah] I will trust, [batach] and not be afraid: [pachad]
for the LORD [Yahh] JEHOVAH [Yahovah] is my strength [`oz] and my
song; [zimrath] he also is become my salvation.
[yashuw`ah] KJV-Interlinear
2
"Behold, God is my salvation, I will trust and not be afraid; For the Lord
God is my strength and song, And He has become my salvation." NASB
The word, ‘el,’ is a name
for deity and means strength, power, strong, almighty.
Lord, ‘yahh,’ means
sacred one, or a vehement statement of force behind the word Lord.
Jehovah, is the typical
word used of the God of the Israelites, as opposed to all other gods that the
world invents. It is the second person
of the trinity, and the personal name for the Messiah. It means self-existent one, or eternal
one. This is also a form of the first
person name of God, which was given to Moses, ‘I Am,’ or ‘ehyeh,’ which too
means, I am the self-existent one, when spoken to Moses, God identified Himself
as the actual God Himself speaking directly to Moses and not a voice that was speaking through some intermediate
method of communication. That made it
very dramatic and fearful for Moses to be speaking directly with God.
And so we have here, that
God the one and only God, the true and self-extent one, is the source of
salvation.
Salvation, comes from no
other source but God.
Not from any other invented
god, for all other gods are invented.
Not from some world philosophy, which too is invented with complete
disregard for God and truth. Not from
wishes, not from good intentions, not from sincerity, not from any angel or
animal of celestial body, not from any other source.
The God, the one and only
God of Israel, who is the Messiah, who was born to Mary, and named Jesus, this
one is the source of salvation, and there is no other salvation in existence.
And quoting for the song
of Moses, Ex. 15, God is our source of strength. He is our life. He is our will. He is our confidence. He is our wisdom and knowledge. For God is both living and written. And as to
the living, He is real. And as to
written, that is our connection to reality and understanding and orientation
and life.
And song, points to the music
of fulfillment and happiness and contentment welling out from within ones soul.
Music is an expression of
emotion and appreciation and contentment and happiness, and music from within
ones soul often times cannot be expressed in terms of words, but in deep feelings
of thought that too, have difficulty in finding the right words to express
them, thus the song, the music, the deep expressions for which there are no
words.
To become my salvation,
is an expression repeated here for the spiritual life after salvation.
Salvation occurs in a single
moment and is complete. But after salvation,
a person lives on for decades and decades and such. Life after being saved, incorporates the
whole growing up process, the whole learning process, the gaining of knowledge
and wisdom and understanding, and all of that leads to an even greater song, that
is a mature adults version of a younger persons song, but with greater depth
and personal meaning.
And often times in life
you will arrive at a place when all you have is your deep inner feelings. Typically they are connected with extreme
grief or sorrow or anxieties when pleading for relief or help. But this is the
similar expression herein described, but from the perspective of having been
delivered from some form of extreme trial.
Those folks who will be
delivered out from the extremes of the Tribulation, will have endured through
the most terrible time in all of human history and as such their inner
expressions will be overpowering.
