"O Come O Come Emmanuel
And ransom captive Israel
Who mourns in lowly exile here
Until the Son of God appears
Rejoice! Rejoice!
Emmanuel shall come to thee O Israel."
Have you ever thought about the theology that underlies this? What does it mean to talk about Israel in exile? What does it mean for these Israelite captives to be waiting for the appearance of Emmanuel?
