Study Note
The complaint that 'when thy hand is lifted up, they will not see' followed by the assurance that 'they shall see' the divine zeal confronts the paradox of human blindness to evident divine action. The chapter's context is the resurrection hope of verse 19 and the protection of God's people while his judgment falls on the wicked — a pattern of simultaneous salvation and judgment common to Exodus typology (Israel protected as Egypt is struck). The phrase 'the fire of thine enemies shall devour them' connects to Isaiah 33:14's 'who among us shall dwell with the devouring fire?' and ultimately to Hebrews 12:29's citation that 'our God is a consuming fire.' The verse encourages the faithful that divine inaction in the short term does not indicate divine absence — the lifted hand will ultimately be visible to all.
