"Oh come, oh come Immanuel
And ransom captive Israel,
that mourns in lonely exile here
Until the Son of God appear."
Exodus 4:22; Hosea 11:1
Israel is My first-born son.
Deuteronomy 4:19-20
And when you look up to the sky and behold the sun and the moon and the stars, the whole heavenly host, you must not be lured into bowing down to them or serving them. These the LORD your God allotted to other peoples everywhere under heaven; BUT *YOU* (Israel) the LORD took and brought out of Egypt, that iron blast furnace, to be His very own people, **as is now the case.**
"Rejoice! Rejoice!
Immanuel shall come to thee, O Israel!"
Isaiah 7:13-14
Listen, House of David, is it not enough for you to treat men as helpless that you also treat my God as helpless? Assuredly, my Lord will give you a sign of His own accord! Look, the young woman is with child and about to give birth to a son. Let her name him Immanuel.
"Oh come, Thou Wisdom from on high,
Who orderest all things mightily;
To us the path of knowledge show,
And teach us in her ways to go.
Psalm 20:12
Whoever fears the LORD,
he shall be shown what path to choose.
O come, Thou Key of David, come,
And open wide our heavenly home;
Make safe the way that leads on high,
and close the path to misery."
Psalm 15
Psalm 119-134
Happy the People who have it so;
Happy the People whose God is the LORD. ~ Psalm 144:15
