What does it mean for the Lord’s hand to be with them?

Actes 11:21 (NEG79)

21 La main du Seigneur était avec eux, et un grand nombre de personnes crurent et se convertirent au Seigneur.

The hand of the Lord is an anthropomorphic description of God’s effective power (see Luke 1:66). It is possible that it includes a reference to signs and wonders which confirm the message about Jesus (see Acts 2:43; Acts 4:30; Acts 5:12; Acts 6:8).1 In any case, the Holy Spirit was working powerfully as the Word of God was proclaimed.2
