Therefore the Lord himself will give you a sign: The virgin will conceive and give birth to a son, and will call him Immanuel
New Testament fulfilment Luke 1 v34-35
the Old Testament prophets had little glimpses of the coming messiah. One of the names given to Jesus here is Immanuel, which means God with us! Simply put God Almighty himself chooses to dwell with us!
9 Nevertheless, there will be no more gloom for those who were in distress. In the past he humbled the land of Zebulun and the land of Naphtali, but in the future he will honour Galilee of the nations, by the Way of the Sea, beyond the Jordan—
2 The people walking in darkness
have seen a great light;
on those living in the land of deep darkness
a light has dawned.
Jesus is the light of the world! We no longer walk in darkness but in His light! The light has come!
