O Come O Come Immanuel
And Ransom Captive Israel
That Mourns in Lowly Exile Here
Until the Son of God appears
Rejoice, Rejoice Immanuel
Has Come to Thee O Israel
So N.T. Wright talks about Israel thinking itself still in captivity in the first century, I think that others saw this before him. Maybe Paul really saw the Christian experience in parallel with the exodus of captive Israel. We are in exile until the Son of God ransoms us and takes us to be with Him in resurrection.
By the way, Christmas is ever approaching.
