salvation
The Greek word used here is "σωτηρία" (soteria), which signifies deliverance, preservation, and safety. In the context of Luke 1:71, it refers to the ultimate deliverance from sin and spiritual death through Jesus Christ. Historically, the Jewish people anticipated a Messiah who would bring salvation from their enemies and establish a kingdom of peace. This salvation is not merely political or physical but is deeply spiritual, offering eternal life and reconciliation with God. The concept of salvation is central to Christian theology, emphasizing God's grace and mercy.

from our enemies
The phrase "from our enemies" reflects the historical context of Israel's longing for deliverance from oppressive foreign powers. The Greek word for "enemies" is "ἐχθρός" (echthros), which can mean adversaries or those who are hostile. In a broader spiritual sense, this phrase can also be interpreted as deliverance from the ultimate enemy, which is sin and Satan. The Bible consistently portrays God as a deliverer who rescues His people from both physical and spiritual adversaries.

and from the hand
The "hand" in biblical terms often symbolizes power, control, or possession. The Greek word "χείρ" (cheir) is used here, indicating the power or influence that enemies have over God's people. In the Old Testament, God's hand is frequently depicted as mighty and capable of delivering His people. Thus, this phrase reassures believers of God's sovereign power to rescue them from any form of bondage or oppression.

of all who hate us
The phrase "of all who hate us" underscores the reality of opposition and hostility faced by God's people. The Greek word for "hate" is "μισέω" (miseo), which conveys intense dislike or enmity. Historically, Israel faced numerous nations that sought their destruction. Spiritually, this enmity can be seen as the world's opposition to God's truth and righteousness. However, the promise of deliverance from such hatred is a testament to God's protective and redemptive love for His people.

(71) That we should be saved from our enemies.--Literally, salvation from our enemies, in apposition with "the horn of salvation" of Luke 1:69. The "enemies" present to the thoughts of Zacharias may have been the Roman conquerors of Judaea; the Idumaean House of Herod may have been among "those who hate."

Verse 71. - That we should be saved from our enemies, and from the hand of all that hate us. When Zacharias spoke these words, his mind, no doubt, was on Rome and its creatures, Herod and his party, whom Rome had set up. The deliverance of Israel, in every Hebrew heart, was the first and great work of the coming Deliverer; but the inspired words had a far broader reference than to Rome, and the enemies of Israelitic prosperity. The expression includes those spiritual evil agencies which war their ceaseless warfare against the soul of man. It was from these that the coming Deliverer would free his people. It was only after the fall of Jerusalem, and the total extinction of the national existence of the people, that, to use Dean Plumptre's language, "what was transitory in the hymn vanished, and the words gained the brighter permanent sense which they have had for centuries in the worship of the Church of Christ."
