Salvation

The hebrew words that express the idea of salvation in the Old Testament have the general sense of deliverence from physical danger or Moral distress. In such passages the Septugint, uses the Greek words that mean to save from death or dangers, as well as to preserve or to heal (Reformation Study Bible, ESV. p. 1680).

Let me hear what God the Lord will speak, for he will speak peace to his people, to his saints;but let them not turn back to folly. Surely his salvation is near to those who fear him, that glory may dwell in our land ( Pslam 85:8,9).

Behold, the Lord has proclaimed to the end of the earth: Say to the daughter of Zion,“Behold, your salvation comes; behold, his reward is with him, and his recompense before him.” ( Is. 62:11).
