What Does 2 Kings 17:39 Mean?
The covenant closes with a promise. The Lord your God you shall fear, and He shall deliver you out of the hand of all your enemies. The fear that is owed to Him is bound to the deliverance He gives; reverence and rescue belong together in the life of His people.
Here is the great exchange of faith: we give God our worship, and He gives us His protection. The fear of the Lord is no grim duty but the doorway to deliverance, for the One we revere is the One who saves. To trust and obey Him is to be held in the safest of hands. The enemies that threaten cannot stand against the God who delivers those who are truly His.
