The Feast of Tabernacles runs from the evening of September 25th and (including the Last Great Day) until sunset October 3rd.
Here is a sermon given today in Brisbane, Australia:
1:10:12/When the Apostle John saw the Apocalypse, he was inspired to write about a coming 1000 year period where Jesus and the saints were to reign. This thousand year time is often referred to as the millennium. Can God implement a utopia that the United Nations cannot? Christians have long taught that the Feast of Tabernacles pictures this time of the kingdom of God. Will this be a time of abundance and peace? Will the deserts bloom? Did Papias teach about this? Will the nature of animals be changed so that lions will eat grass? What about turning swords into plowshares? Will Lucifer, who became Satan the devil, be bound for 1000 years? Has this already happened in the church age or do we have assurances from the Bible that it will come to pass? Will Philadelphian Christians face persecution before the return of Jesus? What about other Christians? Are all Christians promised physical protection or will the non-Philadelphians be delivered into the hand of the coming European King of the North Beast power for 3 1/2 years. Are true Christians going to teach and help others in God’s kingdom? Why will God’s kingdom make the world a better place? Dr. Thiel addresses this and more in this sermon.
