Old Testament

Isaiah 9:1-2
The Second Description of Immanuel:
The Child Who Is Born to Us
91Nevertheless, there will be no more gloom for the land that was in anguish.[] In former times, he humbled the land of Zebulun and the land of Naphtali, but in the latter time[] he will cause it to be glorious, along the way of the sea, beyond the Jordan, in Galilee of the Gentiles.
2The people walking in darkness have seen a great light.
For those living in the land of the shadow of death, the light has dawned.
