HERE WE ARE GETTING CLOSE TO THE END OF ANOTHER ROMAN YEAR - 2013. THE YEARS SEEM TO GO BY QUICKER THAN EVER. BUT WHEN YOU ARE BUSY THAT IS THE WAY LIFE GOES. AND I'M ALWAYS BUSY, MENTALLY AND PHYSICALLY....KEEPS YOU YOUNG IN MIND AND BODY.
WE ARE STILL IN A WORLD FILLED WITH VIOLENCE, WARS, HATRED,
EVILS, DEGENERATION IN TRUTH AND MORALS; A WORLD OF TOO OFTEN VIOLENT WEATHER, AND JUST CRAZY STORMS AND FLOODS. IT IS A WORLD WHERE THE WESTERN NATIONS ARE FOREVER MOVING INTO THAT WHICH IS NOT RIGHTEOUSNESS, BUT SIN AND WICKEDNESS. A WESTERN WORLD WHERE GOOD IS CALLED EVIL, AND EVIL IS CALLED GOOD.
IT IS A WORLD THAT PHYSICALLY, MENTALLY, AND EMOTIONALLY, KEEPS SLIDING DOWN THE SLIPPERY SLOPE TO MORE AND MORE DISASTERS.
YES IT IS A WORLD OF MORE SPACE-AGE THIS AND THAT AND STUFF THAT KEEPS EVOLVING TO MORE AND MORE MATERIAL THINGS THAT BLOW THE MIND.... WHAT MANKIND CAN INVENT IS TRULY AMAZING.
YET SOME, WELL SO FAR ABOUT 2,000 PEOPLE, HAVE SIGNED UP FOR A ONE WAY TICKET TO MARS, THAT THEY THINK WILL START IN ABOUT 10 YEARS. OBVIOUSLY SOME ARE WANTING TO ESCAPE THIS EARTH. I GUESS MAYBE THEY THINK IT WILL BE PEACEFUL AND LESS RUSHED, AND CAOTIC, TO SPEND THE REST OF THEIR LIVES ON A ROCK OF DUST AND EXTREMELY LOW TEMPERATURES AT NIGHT. THEY WILL BE ABLE TO LOOK BACK AT THE BLUE PLANET AND ONLY REMEMBER THE WARS AND SICKNESSES AND PHYSICAL STORMS; I GUESS AFTER A WHILE EVEN THOSE MEMORIES WILL START TO FADE AS THEIR LIFE DRAWS CLOSER TO ITS END.
WELL MARS IS ONLY FOR THOSE WHO CAN AFFORD THE ONE WAY TICKET TO GO THERE. THE REST OF US MUST REMAIN ON THIS PLANET CALLED EARTH. AS SOME HAVE SAID THIS PLANET SHOULD REALLY BE CALLED "WATER" AS TWO THIRDS OF IT IS COVERED BY WATER. I'M SURPRISED THE EVOLUTIONISTS AND ATHEISTS HAVEN'T PUSHED TO HAVE OUR PLANET'S NAME CHANGED..... IT IS CALLED "EARTH" BECAUSE GOD NAMED IT SO.
THERE IS MUCH YET TO COME ON THIS EARTH THAT IS NOT GOOD!
THE WORDS "NOT GOOD" IS A POLITE WAY TO PHRASE IT REALLY.
THE BOOK OF REVELATION WITH ITS TRUMPET SOUNDS AND EVERYTHING ELSE IS THE FULFILLMENT OF THE ETERNAL GOD'S FESTIVALS OF TRUMPETS AND ATONEMENT.
NOT VERY PLEASANT OR COMFORTING, BUT AS THE WORLD HAS STEPPED OVER THE RED LINE OF NO RETURN, THE BOOK OF REVELATION HAS TO BE FULFILLED.
THE FEAST OF TABERNACLES WAS AT THE END OF THE FRUIT HARVEST IN THE HOLY LAND. IT WAS THE LAST HARVEST OF THE YEAR. LUSH, JUICY, PLEASANT, AROMIC, COLORFUL, IN MANY WAYS THE PRETTIEST HARVEST OF ALL.
WE CAN THINK OF HAVING A HOLIDAY IN A TENT OR CABIN BY A BEAUTIFUL LAKE, WITH ALL KINDS OF WONDERFUL FRUITS AND FOOD TO EAT; THE BIRDS SINGING, BLUE WARM SKIES, AND A TIME TO ONLY THINK ABOUT GOOD THINGS, AND ENJOY GOOD THINGS. GOD SAID MAKE THAT 7 DAY PERIOD SUCH, ENJOY THE DESIRES OF YOUR HEART; OF COURSE WE KNOW THAT MEANS IN MODERATION AND PROPER MENTAL AND PHYSICAL CONDUCT AS BECOMES CHILDREN OF THE MOST HIGH GOD.
IT IS A TIME FOR FAMILY, FELLOWSHIP, PARTYING .... AGAIN IN THE RIGHT SPIRIT. WE ARE ACTUALLY COMMANDED TO MAKE IT SO. YES THE ETERNAL HAS GIVEN US A 7 DAY PERIOD OF REJOICING, TO PUT AWAY THE TOILS AND STRESS AND FRUSTRATIONS THAT OFTEN, TOO OFTEN, CAN FILL OUR NORMAL DAYS. TIME TO SLOW DOWN, RELAX MORE, ENJOY SOME GOOD FUNNY AND INSPIRING MOVIES [BE CAREFUL WITH 'FUNNY' TODAY, AS A LOT ARE SICK-FUNNY MOVIES] - ONE GREAT FUNNY MOVIE IS "COOL RUNNING" BASED ON A TRUE STORY, AND "MY BIG FAT GREEK WEDDING." OF COURSE THERE ARE MANY CLEAN FUNNY MOVIES OF YESTERDAY - BUD ABBOT AND LOU COSTELO, DANNY KAY, THE MARX BOTHERS, TO NAME OF FEW, THERE ARE DOZENS OF INSPIRING MOVIES, ONE OF MY VERY FAVORITES IS "RUNNING BRAVE" AND A TRUE STORY TO BOOT. IT IS A TIME TO ENJOY NATURE EITHER IN PERSON OR ON DVDs.
IT IS A TIME TO EAT OUT IN A LITTLE FANCIER RESTAURANT THAN USUAL, WITH WELL COOKED FOOD. A GLASS OF WINE OR A BOTTLE OF BEAR. A TIME TO JUST SIT AROUND AND FELLOWSHIP.
IT'S A TIME, IF YOU HAVE MORE MONEY THAN YOU NEED, TO SHARE IT WITH OTHERS LESS FORTUNATE THAN YOURSELF, AND MAKE THEIR FEAST OF TABERNACLES A BLESSING ALSO.
AND OF COURSE IT IS THE TIME TO ZERO IN ON THE PROPHETS OF OLD IN THE BIBLE, ON THE MANY WONDERFUL PASSAGES OF THE BIBLE ABOUT THE AGE TO COME, THE 1,000 YEAR REIGN OF CHRIST AND THE KINDOM OF GOD, TO COME TO EARTH WITH THE RETURN OF CHRIST. THE BOOK OF REVELATION CHAPTERS 19 AND 20.
THE MEANING OF THE FEAST OF TABERNACLES IS A HUGE TOPIC, AND I'VE COVERED MUCH OF IT FOR YOU ON MY WEBSITE.
SO TAKE THE TIME TO GO STUDY SOME OF THOSE WRITINGS OF THE AGE TO COME. THAT WILL BE ONE GREAT WAY TO OBSERVE THE FEAST OF TABERNACLES.
