Last Great Day – 2022, 100 year period October 17, 2022

 Last Great Day – 2022, 100 year period      October 17, 2022    

The 8th Day of the Feast of Tabernacles, even though it is a separate High Day, but is considered part of the Feast of Tabernacles.  

Joel 2:11 The LORD will shout in the presence of his forces, because his encampment is very great; for powerful is he who carries out his message. Truly the Day of the LORD is great, and very terrifying. Who will be able to survive it?"

 

When we read about the Great Day of the Lord is before Satan and the demons are put away for a 1000 years.  Then they are released so they can complete their time period of rule of 6000 years because it was cut short for the sake of the elect.

 

The 2nd judgment is of unbelievers, people that have the spirit in man, will be judged at the great White Throne Judgment.  Will they at this time be given their opportunity to repent and live a period of time on the earth, 100 years, before being changed to spirit being.  We know all people, will be brought back to life except for the Saints.

 

Important, remember, Satan and his demons are locked up and removed forever, not again going to affect anyone.  No more, influencing people.

 

What about all those who have lived and died without ever being called of God, who never had an opportunity to know and really understand God’s purpose and plan for mankind.  Are they lost forever?  Blinded by Satan.

 

Rivers of Living Water, the Last Great Day

 

John 7:37-38 On the last day, that great day of the feast, Jesus stood and cried out, saying, "If anyone thirsts, let him come to Me and drink.

 (38) He who believes in Me, as the Scripture has said, out of his heart will flow rivers of living water."   (if anyone - All people)

 

Living Water, what is this.  The Holy Spirit

 

John 7:39 But this He spoke concerning the Spirit, whom those believing in Him would receive; for the Holy Spirit was not yet given, because Jesus was not yet glorified.

Jesus was not talking about physical thirst here. He was revealing that if any man have spiritual thirst, and believes on Him, he can come to Jesus and drink in the Holy Spirit.  Living waters, rivers of living water.

 

On the 8th day; the Great Day of the Feast; the special High Sabbath, is when Jesus made His first announcement to the people of the coming of the Holy Spirit.  There is a water ceremony done on this day by the Priests.  The Jewish leadership looked at the Feast of 8 days.

 

 “keep a festival for eight days” Josephus in Antiquities of the Jews (iii. 10, § 6) 

 

8th Day: A day for assembly—or pause

 

Spiritually, 8th Day can also be seen to "guard the seven days of Sukkot" and is characterized as a day when the Jewish people "tarries" to spend an additional day with God at the end of Sukkot.

 

Therefore, Shemini Atzeret is considered "a feast day and the end of the Feast of Tabernacles and during this time is the last readings of the Scriptures for the past year in the Temple.

 

God's Master Plan will be completed celebrating this Feast Day, the 8th Day

 

8th Day pictures the judgment when the vast majority of humanity will be resurrected to mortal life and given their opportunity for salvation.

 

What about all those who have lived and died without ever being called of God (including, perhaps, most of our loved ones today); Good people, who never had an opportunity to know and really understand God's purpose and plan for them? Because Satan blinded them. Are they lost forever?  No.

 

Can we really imagine a merciful and just God condemning innocent little children; some who died before they could either walk or talk; to remain dead for all eternity without the knowledge of God's way of life and without being given the opportunity to live forever?

 

God has planned for everyone who has ever lived to receive an opportunity for salvation and Sonship in His Family, just as the already spiritually called and begotten children of God have been given their opportunity.

 

Simply the dead; those billions who are not Christ's and have never been called of God, most of whom have never even heard the name of Jesus Christ.  God wants all to be saved.  Those who has the spirit in man.

 

2 Peter 3:9 The Lord is not slow about his promise, as some people understand slowness, but is being patient with you. He does not want anyone to perish, but wants everyone to repent.

 

1 Timothy 2:3-4 This is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Savior, (4) who wants all people to be saved and to come to know the truth fully.

 

Will everyone be saved at the same time, or is there a definite time-order

 

1 Corinthians 15:22-24 For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ all shall be made alive. (23) But each one in his own order: Christ the firstfruits, afterward those who are Christ's at His coming. (24) Then comes the end, when He delivers the kingdom to God the Father, when He puts an end to all rule and all authority and power.

 

Romans 10:9 If you declare with your mouth, "Jesus is Lord," and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.   {We have at some hints about the White Throne Judgement}

 

Then in the future, the dead will be given their opportunity to become members of God's Family. Remember, Satan is gone forever.

 

The individuals will be given enough time to learn to obey God, just as Spirit-begotten Christians have opportunity to do today. Those who continue to live God's way of life, developing the character of God, will be changed to Spiritual Beings at the end of this period of judgment, which apparently will last 100 years. {is this a hint at the mystery time}

 

How long will their period of judgment last, 100 years for all

 

Isaiah 65:20 "And there will no longer be in it a young boy who lives only a few days, or an old person who does not live out his days; for one who dies at a hundred years will be thought a mere youth, and one who falls short of a hundred years will be considered accursed.

 

100 years, time period for all people to live.

All people will be resurrected later to a physical soul, brought back to life with a body and with their spirit in man and then be given the Holy Spirit.  Lord Jesus does not want anyone to die.

 

This verse in Isaiah apparently refers to this judgment period, suggesting that those resurrected then will live for 100 years, regardless of how old they were when they died.

 

Isaiah 65:21 People will build houses and live in them; They'll plant vineyards and eat their fruit.

 

Isaiah 65:22 They won't build for others to inhabit; they won't plant for others to eat--for like the lifetime of a tree, so will the lifetime of my people be, and my chosen ones will long enjoy the work of their hands.

 

God has, in His fairness, planned for everyone who has ever lived to receive the very same opportunity for salvation that we are being given!

 

Just as the week is not complete without the Sabbath Day, so God's Master Plan is not complete without the Father’ 8th Day, High Sabbath

 

Revelation 20:4 I saw thrones on which were seated those who had been given authority to judge. And I saw the souls of those who had been beheaded because of their testimony about Jesus and because of the word of God. They had not worshiped the beast or its image and had not received its mark on their foreheads or their hands. They came to life and reigned with Christ a thousand years.

 

Revelation 20:5-6 (The rest of the dead did not come to life until the thousand years were ended.) This is the first resurrection.  (6)  Blessed and holy are those who share in the first resurrection. The second death has no power over them, but they will be priests of God and of Christ and will reign with him for a thousand years.

 

Revelation 20:7 When the thousand years are over, Satan will be freed from his prison.

 

John just told us

 

Insert:  These are not the dead in Christ, but simply; the dead; those millions who are not Christ; who have not been converted, who may never have heard the gospel or the name of Jesus.  Only have spirit in man and not the Holy Spirit.  Unbelievers vs believers.

 

What happens to the dead.  These are Gentiles and Israelites. {Hint}

 

The prophet Ezekiel describe a resurrection of dead Israelites back to mortal life.

 

This is a resurrect to physical life; with bodies of flesh, skin and bones and require air to live.

 

Ezekiel 37:5 Thus says the Lord GOD to these bones: "Surely I will cause breath to enter into you, and you shall live.

 

Ezekiel 37:6-7 I'm going to grow tendons on you, regenerate your flesh, cover you with skin, and make you breathe again so that you can come back to life and learn that I am the LORD.'" (7) So I prophesied, just as I had been ordered to do so. Immediately there was a noise and a rattling; and then all of a sudden the bones came together by themselves! Each bone came together, all of them attached together!

 

Ezekiel 37:8-9 As I continued to watch, I saw tendons growing on the bones, and muscles growing and covering them, and then skin covered the flesh from above. But the bodies weren't breathing. (9) Then he ordered me, "Prophesy to the Spirit, Son of Man. Tell the Spirit, 'This is what the Lord GOD says: "Come from the four winds, you Spirit, and breathe into these people who have been killed, so they will live."'"  Spirit in man?

 

 

 

Ezekiel 37:11-12 "These bones represent the entire house of Israel," the LORD explained to me. "Look how they keep saying, 'Our bones are dried up, and our future is lost. We've been completely eliminated!' (12) "Therefore prophesy to them, and tell them, 'Watch me! I'm going to open your graves, lift you out of those graves, and bring my people back into the land of Israel.

 

Ezekiel 37:13 Then you'll learn that I am the LORD, when I've opened your graves and caused you to come up out of them, my people.   {during the White Throne Judgement}

 

God will then give His Holy Spirit to the millions and millions of peoples. 

 

Ezekiel 37:14 I'm going to place my Spirit in you all, and you will live. I'll place you all into your land, and you'll learn that I, the LORD, have been speaking and doing this,' declares the LORD."

 

Place physical people back into their land, for a period of time?

 

Even Gentiles will also be resurrected to physical life and return to how they were before.  Exciting this will happen

 

Ezekiel 16:55 And your sisters, Sodom with her daughters and Samaria with her daughters, will return to what they were before; and you and your daughters will return to what you were before. {a physical resurrection}

 

John makes clear, "the rest of the dead"; those who never had a chance to understand God's truth-would not come up in a resurrection "until the thousand years were finished." This resurrection, which occurs after the 1,000 years are finished and last great battle, is the second resurrection.

 

God will remove Satan and demons; completely powerless; the dead will be resurrected to have their opportunity to understand God's Master Plan.

 

Revelation 20:1-2 Then I saw an angel coming down from heaven, holding the key to the bottomless pit, with a large chain in his hand. (2) He captured the dragon, that ancient serpent, also known as the devil and Satan, and tied him up for a thousand years. {happen again}

Revelation 20:3 He threw him into the bottomless pit, locked it, and sealed it over him to keep him from deceiving the nations anymore until the thousand years were over. After that he must be set free for a little while.  {Will be one final battle of the armies of the world with Lord Jesus.}

 

So what about this 8th day, it is known as the great Day of Judgment.  It is a day of judgment for angels and men.  {Day of judgment}

 

Jude 1:6 He has also held in eternal chains those angels who did not keep their own position but abandoned their assigned place. They are held in deepest darkness for judgment on the great day.

 

2 Peter 2:4 For if God did not spare angels when they sinned, but threw them into the lowest hell and imprisoned them in chains of deepest darkness, holding them for judgment;  {angel were spirit} 

 

Judgment Before the Great White Throne

 

Revelation 20:11 Then I saw a great white throne and him who was seated on it. The earth and the heavens fled from his presence, and there was no place for them.  {Lord Jesus seated on the great white throne}

 

All, spirit in man, people standing before Lord Jesus, souls or physical.  How long is this time.  Could time period be 100 years or so when judging is done before fire destroy the earth and heaven. We only have hints of the time period.

 

Can we really judge someone, an unbeliever, who has been blinded by Satan.  Can they live a life overcoming their human nature without Satan influence and build righteous character.

 

2 Corinthians 4:4 The god of this age has blinded the minds of unbelievers, so that they cannot see the light of the gospel that displays the glory of Christ, who is the image of God.  {Satan is removed forever}

 

It takes time to grow in righteous character, we are given 70 years or so, they might need 100 years. 

 

Something to think about, the angels were created instantly, without time to develop the right character. What happen, some rebelled.

Revelation 20:12 And I saw the dead, great and small, standing before the throne, and books were opened. Another book was opened, which is the book of life. The dead were judged according to what they had done as recorded in the books.

 

Revelation 20:13 The sea gave up the dead that were in it, and death and Hades gave up the dead that were in them, and each person was judged according to what they had done.

 

Revelation 20:14-15 Then death and Hades were thrown into the lake of fire. The lake of fire is the second death.  (15)  Anyone whose name was not found written in the book of life was thrown into the lake of fire.

 

Even after 100 year period, if someone will not repent and accept Jesus as Lord and King.  Their fate set.  What about those who believe that Lord Jesus is our King and High Priest today.

 

The dead who stand before God will not include the, Saints, today, because they will appear before Christ and receive their rewards at the first resurrection, when Christ returns.  We are being judge now for our rewards.  This is you and me, Saints.

 

The dead; time of salvation; will then occur!

 

Those resurrected after the Millennium will be judged the same way.

 

1 Corinthians 11:32 Now, while we are being judged by the Lord, we are being disciplined so we won't be condemned along with the world.

 

They, like Spirit-begotten Christians today, will be given enough time to prove they are willing to live God's Way of Life through a life of overcoming and obedience to God.  How much time does that take.

 

The judgment of the Great Day, - The final judgment, when both angels and men shall receive their judgment at this time.

 

How long is this day of judgment?  Do you think the time it is only when all mankind is brought back to physical life, then straight to judgment to life or death without any time to overcome. 

Think of the hundreds of millions of people that has not been given a chance for salvation and not given the Holy Spirit to lead and direct them in life.  What about babies, children that died.

 

The Scriptures shows that the vast majority of those who ever lived will finally be born into God's Family at the end of this coming period of judgment, pictured by the Last Great Day, 8th Day.

 

God's Master Plan of salvation for mankind will then be complete.

Then the Spirit Members of God's Family can look forward to new heavens and a new earth; and to new and wonderful opportunities in ruling the universe under God our Father and Jesus Christ our elder brother!

 

New Heavens and a New Earth

 

Isaiah 65:17 Take notice! I'm about to create new heavens and a new earth; the former things won't be remembered, nor will they come to mind.

 

Time when Jesus renews the heaven and earth, Said He will do it, in the future?  Is this the start of the White Throne Judgment? 

 

Isaiah 65:18 But be glad and rejoice forever in what I am creating, for I am about to create Jerusalem as a joy, and its people as a delight.

 

Isaiah 65:19 I'll rejoice over Jerusalem, and take delight in my people; no longer will the sound of weeping be heard in it, nor the cry of distress.

 

These individuals has the spirit in man and will be given enough time to learn to obey God just as Saints have opportunity to do today, without any influence from Satan.  They will be given the Holy Spirit.

 

Those who continue to live God’s Way of Life, developing the character of God, will be changed from physical to spiritual at the end of this period of judgment, which will, might last 100 years and will be given access to the Holy Spirit.  Are we also not given time to overcome and grow.

 

 

Christ will make salvation available to everyone who ever lived, but never heard or under-stood the truth, in the last great step in God's plan; the 8th   Day, picturing the last judgment period. Completion of God's Master Plan; the Great White Throne Judgment period after the Millennium.

 

Which is easier to overcome, Satan broadcasting daily to people today or with Satan removed for good and not broadcasting.  The rewards to each.

 

Who will teach these thousands of millions? That is what we will be doing. Millions of teachers who will have been born into God's Family in the first resurrection.

 

We will be the teachers and what is Very Inspiring, we will teach our family member who were not called during this time or age.  Yes, we will be the teachers to our parents, brothers, sister, uncles, aunts, grandparents.  We will help them to become like us, born Spirit Beings in the Kingdom of God. 

 

Unlearning all the falsehoods learned in their first life and learning God's true ways will take time. And building character will take time, because character can be developed only through time and experience.

 

The Scriptures shows that the vast majority of those who have ever lived will finally be born into God's Family at the end of their coming period of judgment. God's Master Plan of salvation for all mankind will then be complete.

 

Revelation 22:12 "See! I am coming soon! My reward is with me to repay everyone according to his action.

 

Revelation 22:20 The one who is testifying to these things says, "Yes,

 I am coming soon!" Amen! Come, Lord Jesus!  {Faith and Hope.}

 

Lord Jesus has Grace and Mercy for the people and in complete control of everything.

Feast of Tabernacles 2022, 6th Day October 15, 2022

Feast of Tabernacles 2022, 6th Day      October 15, 2022 

Why are we here today, celebrating the Feast of Tabernacles.  This is what this feast, Feast of Tabernacles is all about, the 1000 year rule of Jesus as King and High Priest on the earth and we will be changed and will serve the people under Jesus as kings, Priests and instructors.

 How many people really believe Jesus will literally return and rule the Earth for a 1000 years.  Even among Christians belief, there is a major debate, the return of Jesus to the earth, is it symbolic or a literal return to set up His Kingdom. Do we really believe what the Bible say and do we believe the Scriptures is the Word of God. 

I should say, I do not take the Bible literality,

but I do take the Bible Seriously 

{there are over 200 types or figures of Speech in the Bible – puns, simile, allegory, Metaphor, analogy, riddle, type, parables, etc.} 

We take for granted we are commanded to observe the Feasts as a Christian.  What proof do we have. 

We look towards or point to the tradition or requirement that Jesus’ parents kept God's holy days and went to Jerusalem 3 times a year {Luke 2:41} 

We look towards or point to Jesus Himself kept God's Holy Days during his ministry on the earth as our example to follow {Matt 26:17} 

Remember, Paul said follow me as I follow Jesus {1 Cor 11:1} and the Apostles observed the same feasts after they were called "Christians". {Acts 18:21, 20:16, 27:9} 

The start of the New Testament Church started on Pentecost {Acts 2:1} 

We believe the purpose of the Holy Days is The Fathers plan of Salvation for all of mankind and each Feast Day represents one of the parts of His plan.  Jesus Himself made it crystal clear that we cannot know the date of His return to the earth and take total control of all things.

Matthew 24:36 "But of that day and hour no one knows, not even the angels of heaven, but My Father only. 

This is what, Feast of Tabernacles is all about, the 1000 year rule of Jesus as King and High Priest on the earth and universe. 

Why does Jesus return, is because of you and me, the Elect or as we are called, Saints. 

Matthew 24:22 And unless those days were shortened, no flesh would be saved; but for the Elect's sake those days will be shortened. 

1 Thessalonians 3:13 so that He may establish your hearts blameless in holiness before our God and Father at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ with all His Saints. 

1 Corinthians 1:2 To the church of God which is at Corinth, to those who are sanctified in Christ Jesus, called to be Saints, with all who in every place call on the name of Jesus Christ our Lord, both theirs and ours: 

Jude 1:14-15 Now Enoch, the seventh from Adam, prophesied about these men also, saying, "Behold, the Lord comes with ten thousands of His Saints, (15)  to execute judgment on all, to convict all who are ungodly among them of all their ungodly deeds which they have committed in an ungodly way, and of all the harsh things which ungodly sinners have spoken against Him." 

How long is the millennium – 1000 years 

Revelation 20:2-3 He seized the dragon, that ancient serpent, who is the devil, or Satan, and bound him for a thousand years.  (3)  He threw him into the Abyss, and locked and sealed it over him, to keep him from deceiving the nations anymore until the thousand years were ended. After that, he must be set free for a short time.    

Revelation 20:4-5 I saw thrones on which were seated those who had been given authority to judge. And I saw the souls of those who had been beheaded because of their testimony about Jesus and because of the word of God. They had not worshiped the beast or its image and had not received its mark on their foreheads or their hands. They came to life and reigned with Christ a thousand years.  (5)  (The rest of the dead did not come to life until the thousand years were ended.) This is the first resurrection.    

Church Fathers writings, there are more not covered 

·      Around 200 AD, Eusebius writes “there will be a period of some thousand years after the (first) resurrection of the dead, and that the Kingdom of Christ will be set up in material form on this very earth!” ( Ecclesiastical History, B3, C 39)

·      Justin Martyr taught the same thing, saying that after the 1,000-year reign of Christ on the earth a general resurrection and judgment of all people would take place.  (Dialogue with Trypho, Chapters 80 and 81)

·      Irenaeus,130–202, wrote: “For in as many days as this world was made, in so many thousand years shall it be concluded” “”(Gen. 2: 1, 2) of the things formerly created, as also it is a prophecy of what is to come” (Against Heresies, B5, C 28, 33) 

Jesus will return to the earth through the clouds as He left. 

Matthew 24:30 Then the sign of the Son of Man will appear in heaven, and then all the tribes of the earth will mourn, and they will see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of heaven with power and great glory. 

Matthew 24:31 And He will send His angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they will gather together His Elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other. 

Jesus will now set up His Kingdom, prepare it for the Father when the New Jerusalem comes down to the earth. 

What about the Feast of Tabernacles.  What is a Tabernacle.

Tabernacle only means a temporary shelter or tent.  Our physical body is only temporary shelter for the Holy Spirit.

This life is our training ground to learn skills, developing righteous character and proper personality.  Living out of a suitcase reminds us that life is only temporary.   

2 Corinthians 5:1-2 For we know that if the earthly tent we live in is destroyed, we have a building from God, an eternal house in heaven, not built by human hands.  (2)  Meanwhile we groan {or sigh}, longing to be clothed instead with our heavenly dwelling, 

2 Corinthians 5:5 God has prepared us for this and has given us his Spirit as a guarantee.   {become a Spirit being} 

2 Peter 1:14 Knowing that shortly I must put off this my tabernacle, even as our Lord Jesus Christ hath shewed me. 

The Feast is a time to rejoice; because it pictures the time When Jesus returns to the earth and starts ruling over the earth and when we are changed to Spirit Beings, same as Jesus is. 

Is it because we are command to by our Lord, Jesus. 

1 John 5:2-3 By this we know that we love the children of God, when we love God and keep His commandments. (3) For this is the love of God, that we keep His commandments. And His commandments are not burdensome. 

John 14:21 He who has My commandments and keeps them, it is he who loves Me. And he who loves Me will be loved by My Father, and I will love him and manifest Myself to him." 

Who is the Lord that said these are my Feasts, the one we know as Jesus, the Creator said this.  

We know that the one who was the Spokesman or Lord of the Old Testament was the one who we know as Jesus the Messiah in the New Testament.  Jesus is the creator of all things. 

John 1:1-3 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.  (2)  He was in the beginning with God.  (3)  All things were made through Him, and without Him nothing was made that was made. 

John 1:14 And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we beheld His glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father, full of grace and truth. 

As Jesus was growing up, He went to the festivals in Jerusalem with His family. He continued to obey the command to observed God’s Feast every year as a youth to an adult.  

Luke 2:41-42 His parents went to Jerusalem every year at the Feast of the Passover. (42) And when He was twelve years old, they went up to Jerusalem according to the custom of the feast. 

What about the Millennium, the 1000 years rule of Jesus as King and Priest.  Lord Jesus has very strong feelings about Feast of Tabernacles. 

The Scriptures says that when our Lord Jesus returns to the earth at the start of the Millennium, everyone will go up to Jerusalem year after year to celebrate the Feast of Tabernacles. What does that mean.  Jesus is going to keep His feast and require for everyone to keep or observed it.

Zechariah 14:16 And it shall come to pass that everyone who is left of all the nations which came against Jerusalem shall go up from year to year to worship the King, the LORD of hosts, and to keep the Feast of Tabernacles. (Yes, everyone will, including us, now Spirit) 

What happens if the nations do not keep the Feast of Tabernacles 

Zechariah 14:17-18 And it shall be that whichever of the families of the earth do not come up to Jerusalem to worship the King, the LORD of hosts, on them there will be no rain (Punishment).  (18)  If the family of Egypt will not come up and enter in, they shall have no rain; they shall receive the plague with which the LORD strikes the nations who do not come up to keep the Feast of Tabernacles.  

Zechariah 14:19 This shall be the punishment of Egypt and the punishment of all the nations that do not come up to keep the Feast of Tabernacles. (Strong hand, Isa 40:10) 

Ezekiel and Isaiah cover the various Feast Days during the Millennium 

The Feast of Tabernacles will celebrate Israel’s new position in God’s Millennial Kingdom 

Isaiah 66:23  And it shall come to pass That from one New Moon to another, And from one Sabbath to another, All flesh shall come to worship before Me," says the LORD.

 

Ezekiel 44:24 In controversy they shall stand as judges, and judge it according to My judgments. They shall keep My laws and My statutes in all My appointed meetings (feast days), and they shall hallow My Sabbaths (Holy Days).  (Notice, My) 

The Millennial Temple, will celebrate the Feast: Ezekiel 40 - 48 

Ezekiel 46:1  "'This is what the Sovereign LORD says: The gate of the inner court facing east is to be shut on the six working days, but on the Sabbath day and on the day of the New Moon it is to be opened. 

The Feast is a time to rejoice because it pictures the World Tomorrow, 1000 year, the Millennium, which all things will be restored.  This is the time for Armageddon battle. 

We will have a 1,000 years of peace and prosperity for those humans that will be alive at Jesus return to the earth. 

But what about you and me.  We will be the firstfruits of God's spiritual born into God's Family.  We will have the opportunity of bringing Word of God to every human then alive and to those born during the Millennium 

We know Jesus will rule from Jerusalem and we will rule under Jesus, as kings and priest. We will be changed to Spirit born Saints when Jesus returns to the earth. 

1 Corinthians 15:51-52 Let me tell you a secret {or mystery}. Not all of us will die, but all of us will be changed-- (52) in a moment, faster than an eye can blink, at the sound of the last trumpet. Indeed, that trumpet will sound, and then the dead will be raised never to decay, and we will be changed.  To Spirit Being just as our Elder Brother was, Jesus and we will be like him.

 Remember, Jesus is training His saints to be kings and priests during our physical life (yes, that is you and me). Now think for a moment. 

1 John 3:2 Dear friends, we are now God's children, but what we will be like has not been revealed yet. We know that when the Messiah is revealed, we will be like him, because we will see him as he is. 

Revelation 5:10 And have made us kings and priests to our God; And we shall reign on the earth."  {we will be there} 

Revelation 2:26-27 And he who overcomes, and keeps My works until the end, to him I will give power over the nations  (27)  'He shall rule them with a rod of iron; they shall be dashed to pieces like the potter’s vessels— as I also have received from My Father; 

1 Corinthians 6:2-3 You know that the Saints will rule the world, don't you? And if the world is going to be ruled {judge} by you, can't you handle insignificant cases? (3) You know that we will rule {judge} angels, not to mention things in this life, don't you? 

Then at this time, another prophecy will be fulfilled: 

Zechariah 14:9 And the LORD shall be King over all the earth. On that day there will be one LORD, and his name the only name.  

We will be there to see it 

What happens at the end of the 1,000-year period or Millennium? 

Revelation 20:3 and he cast him into the bottomless pit, and shut him (Satan) up, and set a seal on him, so that he should deceive the nations no more till the thousand years were finished. But after these things he must be released for a little while. 

Revelation 20:7-8 Now when the thousand years have expired, Satan will be released from his prison  (8)  and will go out to deceive the nations which are in the four corners of the earth, Gog and Magog, to gather them together to battle, whose number is as the sand of the sea. 

Revelation 20:9 They went up on the breadth of the earth and surrounded the camp of the saints and the beloved city. And fire came down from God out of heaven and devoured them. 

Did Jesus speak of a connection between the Last Great Day and the receiving of God’s Spirit?  Called Rivers of Living Water. The Holy Spirit 

John 7:37-39 On the last day, that great {greatest} day of the feast, Jesus stood and cried out, saying, "If anyone thirsts, let him come to Me and drink. (38) He who believes in Me, as the Scripture has said, out of his heart will flow rivers of living water." (39) But this He spoke concerning the Spirit, whom those believing in Him would receive; for the Holy Spirit was not yet given, because Jesus was not yet glorified.  {Pentecost} 

By keeping His festivals we remain focused on what is important in our view of the future and our role in it. Each time we observed the feasts with deeper understanding within the Scriptures the Fathers plan for us and mankind. 

The Last Great Day or Greatest Day of the Feast pictures the final judgment, when salvation will be made available to all those who never had an opportunity in their first life.  Will be one of the greatest miracles of all time. 

We have been blessed to know this information and mysteries given to the Saints. 

Lord Jesus has blessed us of all people to know this mystery about the Father, Lord Jesus and what will happen to all mankind, including you and me.
