They longed for the coming Messiah. Isaiah wrote in Chapter 8:22 that the people could only see distress and darkness…fear and gloom. But then on that sacred Christmas night, a tiny cry cut through the silence of oppression, injustice, and abuse of power. Immanuel (God with us) had been born. We then look to Golgotha and hear Jesus cry out in a loud voice from the Cross, “It is finished!” and at that moment the Temple curtain, which separated men from God, was torn in half, from top to bottom allowing us to now have fellowship with our heavenly Father. Finally, some day soon it tells us in Revelation 19:11-16 the heavens will be thrown open wide as Jesus appears, riding on a white horse, to wage the final battle against all the enemies of God.
