Feast of Tabernacles—2007
Introduction
Fred R. Coulter – September 26, 2007
Greetings, brethren, welcome to the Feast of Tabernacles, 2007. This
is the opening of the Feast and, as you know, the Feast of Tabernacles
pictures what every human being really longs for in their hearts—peace,
safety, good government, righteousness. Yet, man, cut off from God, does
not know how to do it; and cannot succeed in it. And that’s the whole
lesson that we have concerning the Feast of Trumpets and Day of
Atonement. So, God is ready now, as pictured by the Feast of
Tabernacles—and of course remember, every year we’re getting closer and
closer and closer to the fulfillment of every one of these things in
prophecy. Now, “close” for God is different than “close” for us. As
human being if we think five years, ten years, fifteen years—whoa,
that’s a long time! But for God that’s less than a blink of an eye. So
we need to keep everything in perspective. And it gives us an
opportunity, brethren, for the Feast of Tabernacles:
• to be together,
• to fellowship with each other,
• to love each other,
• to serve each other,
• to enjoy each other,
• to learn and be taught of God’s Word
• and be fortified with His Spirit and His Truth, because God has called
us with a special calling to participate in the fulfilling of the Feast
of Tabernacles by bringing the Kingdom of God and millennium on earth
for a thousand years and then it pictures out into all eternity.
So this is a tremendous, tremendous Feast! And we don’t know how long
because of the political and religious situation that we see developing
in America—we don’t know how long we’re going to have the freedom, the
liberty, the money, the time to be able to assemble together in groups.
We may end up with smaller and smaller groups and more and more people
in their homes just because of the times. But nevertheless, we’re still
going to keep the Feast of Tabernacles. We’re still going to trust in
God. We’re still going to look to Him to help us, to guide us, to direct
us. And so, in spite of the fact that things in the world, as we’re
going to see in a bit, are completely upside down, we need to realize
and understand that God is going to solve the problem and we are
the solution! I want you to think about that.
So let’s begin in Acts, the third chapter. And of course, all the
disciples and apostles wanted to know when the Kingdom of God was going
to come. And I don’t think there has been a generation of Christians
from the time of the apostles down till now who did not anticipate the
return of Christ. And there was single times that took place, like in
Europe and around the year 1000. They had plagues. They had earthquakes.
They had bad weather. They had all of these things. And so, they thought
for sure that Christ was going to return—but He didn’t do it. And at
various times down through history; and the latest one close to our
times was in the days of William Miller in 1844, when everyone got out
there and stood on rocks and had their hands raised and prayed for the
return of Christ and so forth—and it never occurred. So many people
don’t realize it but it was right after that that the theory of the
rapture took place, and was fully developed at the beginning of the 19th
century and cemented into concrete by Schofield in his Schofield Bible.
And many people believed that as absolute truth. Because when you read
the Bible and then you read a footnote that’s there to explain
something, many people don’t understand that that’s not the inspired
Word of God. It may explain a word. It may explain something. But if it
doesn’t agree with the truth of the Bible, that, you know, it’s not part
of the Bible and you don’t believe it.
So let’s come back here to Acts, the third chapter, and let’s
remember what the disciples anxiously asked Jesus on the 40th
day, just before He ascended into heaven, they said: “Lord, will you, at
this time, restore the Kingdom to Israel?” And of course, He says, “It’s
not for you to know the times or seasons that the Father had put in His
own authority. You go do what I commanded you to do, wait in Jerusalem
until you receive power.” And so that’s exactly what we are to do. When
we see these things that are coming, we know it’s closer. We know the
times are going to get difficult, but that should inspire us to really
draw closer to God, be more faithful to God, yield to God and to
understand that, as I read these Scriptures here in Acts, the third
chapter, that we are an integral part of God’s plan for saving the
world. And that goes all the way back to Abel and all the way up to the
last one who is converted before the end comes.
Now Acts 3:19, FV: “Therefore, repent and be converted…
[and this is the whole key for us—all the time, brethren. That’s why
daily we are to repent of our sins. That’s why daily we are to make
things right with each other. That’s why when it’s all said and done, if
you truly love God, you will love the brethren. And if you love the
brethren then you will treat them as Christ treats them—as brethren, and
love them and respect them and ‘be converted.’ That’s the whole process
that we are going through. And we have been in an unprecedented time
here in America where we’ve had peace, we’ve had freedom, we have had
opportunities to grow and change and overcome. We’ve had all the Word of
God. We’ve had the understanding given to us. We live in the end time so
we know what they’re going to be. So this ought to really just inspire
us to really stay right with God. He says here:] … in order that your
sins may be blotted out, so that the times of refreshing may come
from the presence of the Lord… [now that is conversion. To change
you, to refresh you, to grant you the Holy Spirit, to be converted which
comes ‘from the presence of the Lord.’] (now let’s continue): …And
that He may send Him Who was before proclaimed to you, Jesus Christ,
Whom the heaven must indeed receive until the times of
restoration of all things… [or as the
King James says: ‘the restitution.’ So everything’s going to be
restored. And we are going to be part of it! That’s what
this Feast of Tabernacles pictures.] …of which God has spoken by the
mouth of all His holy prophets since the world began” (vs 19-21).
And so this is something. You think of it going all the way back to
Adam and Eve, going all the way back to Abel, coming down to the time of
Noah into Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, the children of Israel. Then the
kingdoms of Judah and Israel and all the way down to the time of Christ
coming in the flesh and then the Gospel being preached and spread to the
whole world and coming down to our day and beginning with the printing
press with Gutenberg, the first book that was printed was the Bible. And
since then God has fulfilled the promise of the prophecy there in Mark
13, that the “Gospel would be published in all the world.” And today
there are more Bibles than ever before. And after this Feast of
Tabernacles we are going to have in our hands the very first Bible that
has ever been produced that has the Old Testament and New Testament
combined together in their original order. And so this ought to really
just help us and inspire us so that we can really get in and prepare as
never before.
Now, let’s look at the world today. Now a lot of people think, just
like they have thought with the immigration problem that they can solve
it politically. Key thing to always remember: you can never solve
a spiritual problem with a political solution. Never happen!
There has to be repentance and a return to God. So this is why the world
is in the mess that it is in. And this is why the United States is
coming down. Now the decline may be in steps and stages, but the die has
been cast and it is going to happen. And the reason that it is, is right
here: Isaiah 59:1, KJV: “Behold, the LORD’S hand is not
shortened, that it cannot save; neither his ear heavy, that it cannot
hear: But your iniquities have separated between you and your God, and
your sins have hid his face from you, that he will not hear” (vs
1-2). And even as Jeremiah was told when the people had reached such a
point of sinfulness, God told him: “Don’t even pray for them, don’t lift
up voice because I will not hear!” We’ve reached that point in
modern Israel today. And they are going to go headlong into captivity.
Now how long that will take, we don’t know. How many years we have so we
can teach and preach and publish, we don’t know. But what we need to do
is be busy about doing what God expects us to do.
Now look at the society: “For your hands are defiled with blood, and
your fingers with iniquity; your lips have spoken lies, your tongue hath
muttered perverseness…. [and this is just like an encapsulation of all
the governments of this world. And everything that men have set their
hands to do, it reduces down to this.] …None calleth for justice… [that
is true justice
with God] …nor any pleadeth for truth… [no, they want a political
solution, not truth!] …they trust in vanity, and speak lies; they
conceive mischief, and bring forth iniquity” (vs 3-4). And that’s
exactly what is happening; so this is why. What I want to do is compare
the world that we have today and the way that we see it today and just
understand that we are going to correct all these things. And that God
is going to bring the solution.
So this is why—I just might interject here—this is why if you have
any, any doctrinal disputes of any kind, please leave them to
yourself! Don’t destroy the Feast of Tabernacles with the
brethren by your own personal vanity and selfishness. Please put it
aside! There are bigger things that we need to look to. There are
greater things that we need to do. And we need to have the love of God
and the love of the brethren. And so, if you have any anger, hostility,
something against your brothers or your sisters, solve it, put it aside
and make this a joyous Feast. And don’t spread personal, pet doctrines.
Please spare us! Spare all the brethren!
Now let’s continue here: “They hatch cockatrice’ eggs… [originating
with Satan, isn’t that something.] …and weave the spider’s web… [you
just watch this election, all the way through, that’s exactly what
they’re doing] …he that eateth of their eggs dieth, and that which is
crushed breaketh out into a viper. Their webs shall not become garments…
[They’re not going to make it work.[ …neither shall they cover
themselves with their works: their works are works of iniquity,
and the act of violence is in their hands. Their feet
run to evil… [to adultery, to fornication, to drugs, to pleasure, to
excitement, to (how shall we say) the basest of the reality of
human behavior] …and they make haste to shed innocent blood…
[more murders, more deaths, more tragedies] …their thoughts are
thoughts of iniquity… [Our thoughts need to be the thoughts of God. Our
thoughts need to be on the way and plan of God and the goodness of God,
the love of God, the mercy of God.] …wasting and destruction are
in their paths. The way of peace they know not; and there is
no judgment in their goings: they have made them crooked paths:
whosoever goeth therein shall not know peace. Therefore is judgment
far from us… [don’t expect the Supreme Court, or any court, to render
any decision that is righteous. And if it looks good, no it won’t turn
out that way.] …neither doth justice overtake us: we wait for light…
[everybody’s hoping for good] …but behold obscurity; for brightness,
but we walk in darkness. We grope for the wall like the blind, and
we grope as if we had no eyes: we stumble at noon day as in the
night; we are in desolate places as dead men…. [Now, you
just watch and see how this is going to take place.] …We roar all like
bears, and mourn sore like doves: we look for judgment, but there is
none; for salvation, but it is far off from us. For our
transgressions are multiplied before thee, and our sins testify against
us: for our transgressions are with us; and as for our
iniquities, we know them… [They understand but they can’t get out of
it.] …In transgressing and lying against the LORD… [and that’s what it’s
all against, you see] …and departing away from our God, speaking
oppression and revolt, conceiving and uttering from the heart words of
falsehood. And judgment is turned away backward, and justice standeth
afar off: for truth is fallen in the street, and equity cannot enter”
(vs 5-14).
So, what I’d like you to do is this: Next time you sit down and watch
the evening news, watch a couple of hours of it, open up to Isaiah 59
[transcriber correction] and you will see what they are talking
about on the news is exactly what Isaiah 59 [transcriber
correction] is talking about here. In the ’nth degree. Now notice,
here’s where we fit into this. “Yea, truth faileth; and he that
departeth from evil maketh himself a prey… [that is, we become
victimized] …and the LORD saw it, and it displeased him that
there was no judgment” (v 15). So God is going let America and
the children of Israel go down into the depths of degradation, and into
captivity and into slavery. And we’re going to see it happen
step-by-step-by-step-by-step-by-step. It is coming and it’s going to end
up in the worst tribulation that has ever been on the earth. So much so
that Jesus said that if He didn’t return there would be “no flesh saved
alive.” But there is going to be some flesh saved alive, and we
are going to help bring them salvation.
So, after the resurrection when we start coming back to the earth
with Jesus Christ, the beast and the false prophet are cast into the
lake of fire, and Satan is bound, then the millennium begins. We’re
going to be a part of it. So let’s come here to Zechariah 14 and let’s
see how, since this is the beginning of the Feast of Tabernacles, let’s
see how the millennium is actually going to begin.
Zechariah 14:4, KJV—now we know we will be with Him as we’ll
see in the following verses: “And his feet [that is Christ’s] shall
stand in that day upon the mount of Olives… [now isn’t that interesting.
What did the angel say when the disciples saw Him ascending into heaven?
They said, ‘You men of Galilee, why are you standing looking up into the
heavens. This same Jesus will come in a like manner.’ And where were
they standing? On the Mt. of Olives. Where is He returning? To
the Mt. of Olives. So you see how great prophecy is when you
understand it.] …which is before Jerusalem on the east, and the
mount of Olives shall cleave in the midst thereof toward the east and
toward the west, and there shall be a very great valley; and half
of the mountain shall remove toward the north, and half of it toward the
south…. [So this is going to be a momentous event and remember, we
are with Christ!] (last part of verse 5): …and the LORD my God
shall come, and all the saints with thee.” Now, let’s come
down here to verse 9: “And the LORD shall be king over all the earth: in
that day shall there be one LORD, and his name one.” Now then, it shows
after the plague that’s going to happen for those who fight, then the
first thing that God is going to institute is the keeping of the Feast
of Tabernacles. Because you see, Satan is put away, the first thing
after Christ and His saints are on the earth and then there is a period
of time, and the Word is going to go out: “I want all the
representatives of all the nations on earth to come up here to Jerusalem
to keep the Feast of Tabernacles.” So that will be the start of the
keeping of the Feast of Tabernacles—and then all through the millennium
it will grow and grow and grow and grow in magnitude all around the
world.
So, verse 16: “And it shall come to pass, that every one that
is left of all the nations which came against Jerusalem shall even go up
from year to year… [so this will be continuous all the way through] …to
worship the King, the LORD of hosts, and to keep the feast of
tabernacles.” Now remember, this is Jesus Christ returning. Since He’s
the “same yesterday, today and forever” how can people say that
today we should not keep the Feast of Tabernacles. An incredible
thing, but people do. They’re going to keep the Feast of Tabernacles.
Now God means what He says, so He’s got a few persuaders for them: “And
it shall be, that whoso will not come up of all the
families of the earth unto Jerusalem to worship the King, the LORD of
hosts, even upon them shall be no rain. And if the family of Egypt go
not up, and come not, that have no rain; there shall be
the plague, wherewith the LORD will smite the heathen that come not up
to keep the feast of tabernacles” (vs 17-18). So there’s no such thing
as that these are days for Jews and not for other people. Yes indeed! So
He says “This shall be the punishment of Egypt, and the punishment of
all nations that come not up to keep the feast of tabernacles” (v 19).
So this is quite a thing.
Now, let’s look at the condition of the earth, since we’re starting
the Feast of Tabernacles. Let’s look at what it’s going to be like at
the start of the millennium. Now let’s come back here to the book of
Daniel. Let’s come to Daniel, the second chapter, and let’s see the very
first prophecy that was given, which really defined the world’s
system—and that was during the days of Daniel and Nebuchadnezzar
beginning with the image that he saw with the head of gold and then
silver and brass and iron and then clay and iron. Now let’s pick it up
here in Daniel 2:44—now this becomes important for us to understand.
When the millennium begins there is so much destruction, death and
everything all around because God is not going to come back and patch
the destruction. He’s going to completely rebuild from the ground up,
His way! And we are going to be the rebuilders, and we are going
to be the directors.
Now one man said to me, “Boy, you know, I really don’t want to be a
king or priest.” And I said, “Don’t worry, there are going to be lots of
jobs for all the saints and they all don’t have to be kings and
priests.” Now we’ll cover some of that a little bit later. But here,
Daniel 2:44, KJV: “And in the days of these kings… [that is the
whole end-time system] …shall the God of heaven set up a kingdom,
which shall never be destroyed: and the kingdom shall not be left to
other people… [No, it’s going to be given to the people of God, as we’ll
see in just a minute. That’s you, that’s me, that’s all the saints that
have lived and died down through history—when they’re resurrected.
That’s all that are yet to be called in this age. Amazing!] ...but
it shall break in pieces and consume all these kingdoms, and it shall
stand for ever…. [He’s going to make them all dust and powder]
…Forasmuch as thou sawest that the stone was cut out of the mountain
without hands, and that it brake in pieces the iron, the brass, the
clay, the silver, and the gold; the great God hath made known to the
king what shall come to pass hereafter: and the dream is certain,
and the interpretation thereof sure” (vs 44-45). And the question has
always been, ‘when, Lord?’ Well, we’re getting closer.
Let’s come over here to Daniel 7, let’s see where he reiterates this
again. Let’s pick it up here in verse 25: “And he shall speak great
words against the most High… [that is the final beast that is coming]
…and shall wear out the saints of the most High…” Now this has happened
down through history with the whole system; but in the end it’s going to
happen again. There’s a prophesied time of persecution and martyrdom
that is coming. And brethren, this means that we need to get ready. We
need to be prepared spiritually!
You’re not going to be prepared by setting aside food, by building a
fortress, by running to hide on top of a mountain or going down and
living in a cave under the earth. That’s not how to prepare. You prepare
here and you prepare here so that your heart and mind and your attitude
are right because we need to build the character of God. We need to
understand how we are going to rule in righteousness, in truth, in love
and truth and goodness by the power of the Spirit of God. So don’t worry
about what happens out here in the world. Just be as careful as you can
and cautious as you can, and when troubles come close always pray the
prayer of Psalm 91: “Though ten thousand fall at your right hand and a
thousand at your left hand” and the plague won’t come near you and the
arrow won’t come near you. Now that’s up until the time that God says,
“All right, you’re going to have to stand and give your life for Me.”
People say, “Oh, why does God want martyrdom?”
• Well, do you want the sacrifice of Christ?
• Did He die for you? Yes, He did.
• Have others died for Christ?
Yes, they have.
So, we need to buck up.
• We need to prepare our minds.
• We need to be strong.
• We need to know the Word of God.
• We need to know the love of God.
• We need to know where we’re going, what we’re doing, what we’re all
about,
• And to prepare! Now: “…and think to change times and laws: and they
shall be given into his hand until a time and times and the dividing of
time. But the judgment shall sit… [Christ is coming as Judge, as King,
as Priest.] …and they shall take away his dominion, to consume and to
destroy it unto the end. And the kingdom and dominion, and
the greatness of the kingdom under the whole heaven, shall be given to
the people of the saints of the most High… [We will rule!
In whatever capacity, in whatever job. Brethren, if you can’t understand
a very simple truth of this age: ALL governments and leaders are unfit
in God’s sight! And they ALL, from the least to the greatest, must be
replaced. And that’s why God has His church. And that’s why God is doing
what He’s doing.] …whose kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, and
all dominions shall serve and obey him” (vs 25-27). Now, that’s
something. You need to think about that.
Now, let’s see the character that we need to have. Let’s come to
Jeremiah 4, and let’s look what it says about God. And here’s the
attitude that we need to have. Here’s what we need to develop. Now,
Jeremiah 4:1, KJV: “If thou wilt return, O Israel, saith the
LORD… [and of course, after they’ve been in captivity, they will return]
…return unto me: and if thou wilt put away thine abominations out of my
sight, then shalt thou not remove. And thou shalt swear, The LORD
liveth, in truth, in judgment, and in righteousness… [and that’s
how we’re going to rule. That’s how we are going to bring about the
Kingdom of God on earth, under the direction of Jesus Christ.] …and the
nations shall bless themselves in him, and in him shall they glory” (vs
1-2). Quite an amazing thing, isn’t it, huh? Yes, indeed!
Let’s come over here to chapter nine, and let’s see this again.
Jeremiah 9:23, KJV—so here’s the attitude we need to have right
here now. “Thus saith the LORD, Let not the wise man glory in his
wisdom, neither let the mighty man
glory in his might, let not the rich man glory in his riches: But
let him that glorieth glory in this, that he understandeth and
knoweth me… [that’s what we need to be doing—to know God with a
personal relationship: through His Spirit, through prayer, through
study, through living, through loving the brethren. That ‘they know that
they know Me.’ ] …that I am
the LORD which exercise lovingkindness, judgment, and righteousness, in
the earth: for in these things I delight, saith the LORD” (vs
23-24). And that’s how we’re going to rule. This is what we need to look
forward to.
Now, let’s look at a couple of other things in the Proverbs, and see
here are some of the standards that we are going to live by, and here
are some of the things we need to learn today. That’s why, you know, to
get out with political activism, to try and do something in this
world—oh, you may do a little something, but I guarantee you it’s not
going to amount to anything unless you do what is right. And just
realize, all the goodness that people do in the world is coming to an
end because of the law of “sin and death” in human nature. That’s why
everything becomes corrupt. Now, let’s pick it up in Proverbs 16:12,
KJV—this is why we need to develop the righteousness of God: “It
is an abomination to kings to commit wickedness… [Now, just apply
that to the political system of any country in the world. That’s why I
say they are ALL, from the least to the greatest, unfit to rule] …for
the throne is established by righteousness.” And what was it said of
Jesus: “You have loved righteousness and hated iniquity.” That’s what we
need to do. But you see, the consolation that we have living in a world
that is this wicked, the only thing that can offset that is if we love
God and love righteousness and if we realize that our lives are
established by righteousness.
Now, let’s come to Proverbs 25:5, KJV—we’ll look at a few more
proverbs here because this is interesting. This is what we are going to
do. “Take away the wicked from
before the king… [no more wicked people giving counsel, no more
lobbyists, no more corruption, no more free trips, no more adultery and
fornication and homosexuality gifts for the politicians. No more of the
freebees to them.] …and his throne shall be established in
righteousness.” And so if we’re going to rule in righteousness, that’s
exactly, precisely what we have to do and learn to practice now.
Let’s come to Proverbs 14:34, KJV—and here is how the Kingdom
of God is going to operate on the earth: “Righteousness exalteth a
nation: but sin is a reproach to any people.”
• So we’re going to show them the way.
• We’re going to show them the truth.
• We are going to bring them the righteousness of God!
Now one more proverb here. Let’s come to Proverbs 29:12, KJV—now
you think about this in your daily life. Just think about this: We are
all kings and priests and princes, mayors, governors, board of directors
in training. And so, in our personal lives, we need to understand that
we don’t do what verse 12 says: “If a ruler hearken to lies, all his
servants are wicked.” Now you just apply that to your own life.
If you listen and harken unto lies in your own life, what’s going to
happen in your life? Wickedness will come to you and will abound!
Okay, let’s see the things we need to understand here and where we’re
going and what we’re doing and how it’s going to be. Let’s come to one
more proverb—Proverbs 11:18, KJV: “The wicked worketh a deceitful
work… [so don’t worry about the prosperity of the wicked out there, let
them go their way because it’s all going to fall in upon them.] …but to
him that soweth righteousness shall be a sure reward. As
righteousness tendeth to life: so he that pursueth evil
pursueth it to his own death” (vs 18-19). So He’s called us to
righteousness. He’s called us in training.
Now let’s just take two quick looks at the rewards that will be
coming. Let’s come to Matthew 25—for those of you who don’t want to be
kings, here’s good news. Remember the parable of the five talents—the
one who gained five and then the one who gained two. And so let’s see
what it says here—verse 20: “Then the one who had received five talents
came to him and brought an additional five talents, saying,
‘Lord, you delivered five talents to me; see I have gained five other
talents besides them.’ And his lord said to him, ‘Well done,
good and faithful servant!… [and remember what it says all the way
through Revelation: ‘He that has an ear let him hear what the Spirit
says to the churches.’ And I will give to every man according to what
his works shall be. And that work is training in truth and love and
righteousness and Godly character.] (So he says) …Because you
were faithful over a few things, I will set you over many things. Enter
into the joy of your lord’” (vs 20-21). Now, the parallel account in
Luke 19 says, “…be you over five cities.” And likewise with the one who
had two and increased by two. He said, “Well done, good and faithful
servant. Be you over two cities.” Now, I’m sure there are going to be
some who will be over one city. I’m sure there will be some that will be
on, what we would call, boards of governors. I’m sure there will be some
who God is training in whatever capacity or whatever field that there is
necessary to make the whole Kingdom of God work.
• There needs to be treasury.
• There needs to be teaching.
• There needs to be agriculture.
• There needs to be transportation.
• There needs to be water.
• There needs to be all of the things that human beings have.
And He’s not giving the Kingdom over to other people, He’s
giving it to us! So don’t worry. Everything’s going to work out.
You have faith in God. You developed the character and love of God. You
develop the righteousness and truth of God and it’s all going to work
out. And you’re going to be in the Kingdom of God. And your temporary
journey in this life is going to result in great reward to you.
Now let’s read it here, beginning in verse four of Revelation 20—and
we’ll end here because this will end this message but set the stage for
all the rest. “And I saw thrones… [now we just saw how thrones are
established, right? Yes] …and they that sat upon them, and
judgment was given to them; and I saw
the souls of those who had been beheaded for the testimony of Jesus, and
for the Word of God, and those who did not worship the beast, or his
image, and did not receive the mark in their foreheads or in their
hands; and they lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years.”
Think of it this way: We are going to help God bring multiple—how
many ever millions and billions that will enter in to eternal life
through the Kingdom of God during the millennium. We are going to
help produce that! Think of that! The challenge is great! And
it’s a spiritual thing that we need to accomplish. Now then, he says:
“(But the rest of the dead did not live again until the thousand years
were completed.)… [and we’ll talk about that later because this is a
parenthetical statement added in there, which John put there as a point
of clarification.] …this is the first resurrection. Blessed and holy is
the one who has part in the first resurrection… [Amazing! A Blessing! A
Holy—and remember, only God is Holy, and as the children of God, we will
be Holy.] …over these the second death has no power. But they shall be
priests of God and of Christ, and shall reign with Him a thousand years”
(vs 5-6).
So brethren, this is what the Feast of Tabernacles is all about. And
this is why we gather together to keep the Feast and our fellowship is
with each other and with God the Father and Jesus Christ and let’s all
have a wonderful and tremendous Feast—and share our time together, share
our things together, spend time with each other, count precious every
moment that we’re able to do this. Because we can see on the horizon the
time is coming when it will be greatly diminished. So rejoice in this
Feast and have a wonderful Feast.
