vs 1,2 The region of Zebulun and Nathali had been conquered by the Assyrians, but there is a light.

A bright light - Jesus.

In this world, there is not one relationship that doesn't have some disappointment.
A world of darkness - selfishness, envy, cheating (on taxes, exams and each other), lies.

This prophecy promises that this gloom of darkness will be erased.

The deepest gloom can't stop the light of God shining.
