Christ is Prophesied
All right then, the Lord himself will choose the sign—a child shall be born to a virgin! And she shall call him Immanuel (meaning, “God is with us”).
Isaiah 7:14 TLB (The Living Bible)
God is with us. Not has been or will be – although both are true – but right now at this very moment in this very place, God is with us. God is with you.
Oh, come, oh, come, Emmanuel,
And ransom captive Israel,
That mourns in lonely exile here
Until the Son of God appear.
Rejoice! Rejoice! Emmanuel shall come to you, O Israel!
