Here’s a brand new music video from one of our anointed bands, AmightyWind’s Holy Golden Eagles below. And check out our index of Sukkot songs too!
This hymn is traditionally associated with Christmas (click for the truth about it), however the true time of YAHUSHUA’S/JESUS’ Birthday is during Hag Sukkot (see proof), a Biblical harvest festival of seven—sometimes counted as eight—consecutive, Holy days i.e. holidays.
Some of the lyrics of “O Come, O Come Emmanuel” have ancient origins from the time of Early Church Fathers, and also fit with the themes of Sukkot. Can you find them? What themes of Sukkot [LINK COMING] are found in this song?
Key Bible verses:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FrGvHPxsoa0
O come, O come, EMMANUEL
And ransom captive Israel
That mourns in lonely exile here
Until the SON OF YAH appear
Rejoice! Rejoice! EMMANUEL
Shall come to thee, O Israel.
O come, THOU DAY-SPRING, come and cheer
Our spirits by THINE advent here
Disperse the gloomy clouds of night
And death’s dark shadows put to flight.
Rejoice! Rejoice! EMMANUEL
Shall come to thee, O Israel.
O come, THOU ROD OF JESSE, free
THINE OWN from satan’s tyranny
From depths of hell THY people save
And give them victory o’er the grave
Rejoice! Rejoice! EMMANUEL
Shall come to thee, O Israel.
ALTERNATIVE/EXTRA VERSES
O come, THOU KEY OF DAVID, come
And open wide our heav’nly home ;
Make safe the way that leads on high,
And close the path to misery.
Rejoice ! Rejoice ! Emmanuel
Shall come to thee, O Israel.
O come, ADONAI, LORD OF MIGHT
Who to THY tribes, on Sinai’s height,
In ancient times didst give the law
In cloud and majesty and awe.
Rejoice ! Rejoice ! EMMANUEL
Shall come to thee, O Israel.
Sukkot is also a celebration of the ingathering and the start of the harvest year in Israel (Ex 34:22), hence we celebrate with tree branches and fruit as decorations [LINK COMING] (Lev 23:39-41). (Ask yourself, or your children, if you are teaching your kids about Sukkot, “How does Christmas copy/counterfeit this command? What’s the difference?”)
The harvest ingathering symbolizes the future when there is peace on earth and all nations gather to come worship before the KING YAHUSHUA HA MASHIACH (Hebrew for JESUS CHRIST). When? Year by year, during this very festival—in English usually known as Feast of Tabernacles or Booths (Zechariah 14:16; Rev 7:9-17)!
Sukkot was also the original “Season of our Joy!” and “Festival of Lights (YAH’S Glory)!” (Deut 16:13-15; Lev 23:40; Zech 14:6-8; John 7:14, 37-42; 8:12, 56; Is 60:19; Ezek 43; 47:1-12).
The holiday is called “Sukkot” because the Israelites lived in sukkot meaning “booths” or “tabernacles” as they moved through the desert (Lev 23:41-43). YAHUSHUA was even born in Bethlehem in one—sukkot is plural and refers to more than one sukkah, which is the singular word. Nowadays, most people refer to the sukkah where HE was born and where animals were kept as a barn or stable. Later Mary laid HIM to rest in a manger (Micah 5:2; Luke 2:6-7). About nine months earlier, YAHUSHUA was concieved during another Holy Time, called Hanukkah, which is Hebrew for Dedication.
