This sermon examines the Biblical titles in the final stanza of "O Come, O Come, Emmanuel," showing how humanity's fall in Babel led to scattering and spiritual domination, and how God responds through the incarnation. Christ's life, death, resurrection, and ascension begin the undoing of Babel by reclaiming the scattered nations and inaugurating a new humanity.

Advent is presented as Yahweh's counter-invasion to recover his people, and Pentecost as the Spirit's work that gathers the nations into one temple—the church—bringing unity, victory over sin and death, and the hope of Christ's return.
