"Make way for a God who is hiding" = Advent in a nutshell. In the reading, because Israel used "mediums and necromancers"--signs from the dead--God hid Himself from them.

"To the teaching [Torah] and to the testimony [lit. to repeat]!" We're doing this tonight--letting God's Word fill our imaginations, rather than our own thoughts. [The music for the service included six songs from the Taize community.]
