Matthew 4:16

 

the people living in darkness

    have seen a great light;

on those living in the land of the shadow of death

    a light has dawned.”

Isaiah 9:1-2

Nevertheless, there will be no more gloom for those who were in distress. In the past he humbled the land of Zebulun and the land of Naphtali, but in the future he will honor Galilee of the nations, by the Way of the Sea, beyond the Jordan—

The people walking in darkness

    have seen a great light;

on those living in the land of deep darkness

    a light has dawned.

Given what transpired in his life a few years later? Assassination attempt in his home and the subsequent self imposed exile to London? 

It' seems a lil prophetic to say the least...

Old Curtis Mayfield song BTW...

Sax yo :-).

During the break :-).

"Lord I got to keep on moving

Lord I got to get on down

Lord I've got to keep on moving

Where I can't be found, where I can't be found

Lord they coming after me

I've been accused on my mission

JAH knows you shouldn't do

For hanging me they were willing yeah! yeah!

And that's why I've got to get on thru

Lord they coming after me

Lord I got to keep on moving

Lord I got to get on down

Lord I've got to keep on moving

Where I can't be found

Lord they're coming after me

I know someday we'll find that piece

Of land somewhere not nearby Babylon

(Conquer it by not desiring it BTW...

Babylon that is.

As in 

"Come we go chant down Babylon one more time'...)

The war will soon be over 

and Africa will unite 

the children who liveth in

Darkness have seen the great light

I've got two boys and a woman

And I know they won't suffer now

JAH forgive me for not going back

But I'll be there anyhow

Yes I'll be there anyhow

Lord I got to keep on moving

Lord I got to get on down

Lord I've got to keep on moving

Where I can't be found, where I can't be found

Lord they coming after me

Yeah...

"People get ready

There's a train a comin'

You don't need no baggage

You just get on board

All you need is faith

To hear the diesels hummin'

You don't need no ticket

You just thank the Lord

So people get ready

There'a a train to Jordan

Picking up passengers

Coast to coast

Faith is the key

Open the doors and board them

There's hope for all

Among those loved the most

There ain't no room

For the hopeless sinner

Who would hurt all mankind

Just to save his own

Have pity on those whose

Chances grow thinner

There's no hiding place

Against the Kingdom's throne

So people get ready

There's a train a comin'

You don't need no baggage

You just get on board

All you need is faith

To hear the diesels hummin'

Don't need no ticket

You just thank the Lord
