Dec 21, 2025 • Peter Perez III
Did you know that “O Come, O Come, Emmanuel” isn’t just a Christmas hymn. but a deeply biblical, Israel-centered prayer, rooted in exile, longing, and the hope of redemption.
In this teaching, we uncover the theology hidden within the lyrics, how this song echoes Israel’s cry for deliverance, points to Yeshua (Jesus) as Immanuel, “God with us,” and ultimately looks forward to His return to restore Israel and bless the nations.
When we understand the Jewish roots of this song, it helps us understanding something deeper meaning. Jesus, Israel, and God’s redemptive plan for the world in a powerful way.
