The birth of Emanuel is one of the signs of my calling and spiritual rebirth. This was 40 years ago, August 1983-May, 1984. 1984 was the "acceptable year of the Lord". Isaiah 61:2. Jarrett Lawrence Emanuel was born on April 4, 1984. This is the exact date given by George Orwell on page 6 of his novel 1984. Jarrett is Joshua in Hebrew, the same as Jesus in Greek, and it means "Lord is salvation". Lawrence is his father's name and it means "good heart". Emanuel means "God with us". His Lebanese mother Victoria lived and worked at the Jefferson Hotel until he was born. His parents were separated and getting divorced but Vicki kept her surname and also named her son's last name Emanuel. Tragically, Jarrett passed in January 2019. The family did not release the cause of death.
