names of God: Horn of Salvation by ric gustafson


Luke 1:68-69 - ' And hath raised up an horn of salvation for us in the house of his servant David


This term refers to God the Son. The horn was a symbol of strength and anointing. In this passage, Zechariah uses his restored voice to praise God and predict the coming of his Son. In the Bible, a horn has various purposes. Sometimes it was used to alert people. A tradition was that people could seek sanctuary in the Tabernacle and be protected while clinging to a horn. Jesus is the Horn of Salvation because he is the way to the Father. We need to always cling to Jesus our Horn of Salvation.
