18 Yea, remember king Noah, his wickedness and his abominations, and also the wickedness and abominations of his people. Behold what great destruction did come upon them; and also because of their iniquities they were brought into bondage.
19 And were it not for the interposition of their all-wise Creator, and this because of their sincere repentance, they must unavoidably remain in bondage until now.
20 But behold, he did deliver them because they did humble themselves before him; and because they cried mightily unto him he did deliver them out of bondage; and thus doth the Lord work with his power in all cases among the children of men, extending the arm of mercy towards them that put their trust in him.
I could read these verses all day! (So maybe I will!)
First, I noticed all the "because of" correlations, and how they correspond directly with all the 'dids' in verse 20.
And verse 20 is just so wonderful! Excuse me while I go devour it.
-God did deliver- because of humility
-God did deliver- because they cried mightily
-Interposition of all- wise Creator - because of sincere repentance
-His arm of mercy extended- because they put (placed- gave it a place) their trust in Him.
Humility
Prayer
Repentance
Faith
Equals = Interposition of our all-wise Creator, who will extend His arm of mercy to deliver us from whatever holds us captive.
So beyond wonderful.
