About this Episode

A Bit About The Song…

O, Come, Emmanuel

This hymn, originally written in Latin, was translated roughly in 1861 by Jason Mason Neal, a pastor in the Church of England.

I love the name Immanuel (Emmanuel), meaning, “God is with us” עִמָּנוּאֵל‎

Matthew 1:23 Behold, a virgin shall be with child and shall bring forth a son, and they shall call His name Emmanuel, which being interpreted is, God with us.

Knowing that God is with us because that is His name, our hearts still call out to Him to come so we can see Him, so we can feel His presence.

We cry for Him to ransom us as we feel helpless in the grasp of our enemy, mourning in lonely exile until He comes and makes our heart rejoice! We rejoice even in the hope of knowing that He will come. Because He promised. Because it is His nature and His name to be with us.

The original translation begins describing Him as Emmanuel, God With Us, and then as the Rod of Jesse, freeing us from Satan’s tyranny and the depths of hell, giving us victory over the grave.

Then He is called the Dayspring from on High, cheering us by His very presence coming near us, disbursing the gloomy clouds of night, as even death’s dark shadow is put to flight by His very appearance as the Dayspring, the Morning, the Light.

The original text then describes Him as the Key of David that opens wide our heavenly home and closes the path to misery, and then as Adonai, the Lord of Might, who on Mount Sinai’s height in ancient times to give the law in cloud and majesty and awe.

In 1916 Hymnist and poet Henry Sloane Coffin added the two familiar verses now commonly sung describing Him as Thou Wisdom from on High, that leads us in the path of knowledge, and finally as the Desire of Nations that brings all people into one heart and mind, bidding envy strife and quarrels cease as it fills the whole world with heaven’s peace.

About Us:

This world is a dry and weary land.

All around us are people dying for a drink of fresh, new life.

In the Bible, drought and famine were used as a symbol of the lack or withdrawal of God's blessing.

Like the prodigal son and the lost sheep, we have all chosen to leave the safety and security of God's love and favor, enticed by our own lusts and the alluring but empty and deadly deceptions of the enemy of our souls.

We find ourselves lost, alone, broken, hungry, thirsty and on the brink of death.

But none have strayed so far that they cannot return.

Cry out to Him for help and surrender your life back to Him.

He promised He would take you back, always.

We pray the music ministry of The Rain refreshes your dry and weary soul, and opens your heart for the outpouring of God's Holy Spirit in these end times.

Love,
Nick and Lauren
