ADVENT &
MESSIANIC REVELATION 
IN OLD TESTAMENT  
SCRIPTURE

O COME O COME EMMANUEL

   
Advent means Christ is coming 
and refers to His birth within salvation history. It means the welcoming and the arrival of a special king for us; it is our King of kings. 

Hans Memling: Advent & the Triumph of Christ

This is what the Old Testament prophecies foretold concerning Jesus' Incarnation, the Word made flesh for our hope and Atonement that brought us our deliverance. Advent represents our expectation, anticipation, and preparation for whom Christ is and what He has done for us. He arrived into the world as a human being, being fully God and fully man. He came to identify as one of us, as the Son of Man, as a baby born in a manger. He came for us, He came for you, and He comes into our lives and into our hearts. 

He is coming again in great power and glory to bring 
His Kingdom into fruition.

Isaiah says, 

"The Root of Jesse will spring up, one who will arise to rule over the nations; the Gentiles will hope in him." May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit (Rom. 15:12-13).
