O.K. - back to the concept of Immanuel and God being with us - which still blows me away when I think about it.
It occurred to me over the weekend (remember no blogging on Sat. and Sun) that we see Jesus among us at the end of the New Testament just as he was announced as God with us at the beginning of the New Testament.
John saw Him in the book of Revelation. He saw Him in a way that he had never seen Him before. Revelation 1: 17 says that when John saw him he .."fell at this feet as though dead." We will explore this amazing manifestation that John witnessed in future blogs.
As John turned to see the source of the voice that said, "write" he saw that the voice came from one (like the son of man) among the seven golden lampstands.
The seven golden lampstands were symbols for the churches (Rev. 1:20). So, where is it that we see Jesus? He is right there among His churches. He was prophesied to be "God with us." He was God among the people during His ministry; and now, as the New Testament closes out, we see Him still among His people, His body, the church.
That sight sent John to the ground. How do you react to the thought - the reality - of God/Jesus among us today? He is still with us today, you know!
Be Strong and Courageous,
L.T.

It always saddens me to read such lunacy. It's a pity you epitomise the fallacy of the human condition: that we are predisposed to believing absolute bullshit without any substantial evidence.
God is among us indeed. Are you mental? You ask of my reaction and here it is:
Hahahaha.
