salvation from our enemies

Zechariah spoke to Israel’s long history of oppression under hostile powers, including Egypt, Assyria, Babylon, and Rome. Many awaited the Messiah as the promised Davidic King who would rescue God’s people and establish His rule. Jesus fulfilled this hope by bringing deliverance from sin, Satan, and every power opposed to God, with final victory still to come.

Psa 44:7 For You save us from our enemies; You put those who hate us…
Psa 18:17-19 He rescued me from my powerful enemy, from foes too mighty…
Exo 14:30-31 That day the LORD saved Israel from the Egyptians…

and from the hand of all who hate us,

God’s people had often suffered because of their covenant relationship with Him and their refusal to worship the gods of surrounding nations. The promise includes rescue from those who sought to harm, control, or destroy them. Through Christ’s death and resurrection, the deepest hostility against God’s people has been defeated, even as believers continue to face opposition in the world.

Psa 106:10 He saved them from the hand that hated them;…
2Sa 22:18-19 He rescued me from my powerful enemy, from foes too mighty…
Psa 31:15 My times are in Your hands; deliver me from my enemies…

(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."

Luke 1:71 promises a comprehensive deliverance: God rescues His people from visible adversaries and the unseen forces behind them. In Jesus, sin, Satan, death, and every hostile hand meet their match. Believers live in the present reality of that victory and look forward to its final, glorious completion.
