COGwriter<\/a><\/p>\n The Feast of Tabernacles<\/a>. for 2015 starts at sunset September 27th and, with the Last Great Day, runs until sunset October 5th.<\/p>\n The Continuing<\/em> Church of God<\/a> is pleased to announce this sermon from its ContinuingCOG <\/a>channel:<\/p>\n What should you do if you wish to obey God and keep this festival?<\/p>\n If you are at or near one of the\u00a0Feast of Tabernacles’ Sites for 2015<\/a> you should attend church services every day.<\/p>\n But if you are not able to physically attend those locations, what should you do?<\/p>\n The Bible teaches that the children of Israel were to have offerings for every day of the Feast (Leviticus 23:36. And while we in the Continuing<\/em> Church of God<\/a> do take up offerings on the First Day of the Feast and the Last Great Day, we do not take up financial offerings on the other days. But one way for you to fulfill what God expects is for you to attend or at least watch church services each day. Notice something that the Apostle Paul<\/a> wrote:<\/p>\n 1 I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that you present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God, which is your reasonable service. 2 And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God. (Romans 12:1-2)<\/p><\/blockquote>\n Viewing services each day is a way for you to offer yourself as a living sacrifice which is your reasonable service. We have sermons posted at the www.ccog.org<\/a> website and past year’s sermons posted at the link Feast of Tabernacles’ Sites for 2015<\/a>. If you are not able to physically attend, hopefully you will be able to watch at least one sermon and other message every day.<\/p>\n For those unfamiliar with the Feast of Tabernacles<\/a> consider the following scriptures related to what happens after Jesus returns:<\/p>\n 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. 17 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. 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. 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.\u00a0 (Zechariah 14:16-19)<\/p>\n 2 Many nations shall come and say, 4 But everyone shall sit under his vine and under his fig tree, 6 “In that day,” says the Lord, So, Gentiles will clearly keep the Feast of Tabernacles<\/a>. <\/span><\/p>\n Consider also that after his conversion, the Apostle Paul <\/a>continued to keep Feast of Tabernacles<\/a> or he would not be able to say to Jewish leaders:<\/p>\n 17 Men and brethren, though I have done nothing against our people or the customs of our fathers (Acts 28:17)<\/p><\/blockquote>\n Additionally, consider that the Apostle Paul also said:<\/p>\n 1 I must by all means keep this coming feast in Jerusalem (Acts 18:21)<\/p>\n 1 Imitate me, just as I also imitate Christ.\u00a0 (1 Corinthians 11:1)<\/p><\/blockquote>\n Jesus, like the Apostle Paul, kept the Feast of Tabernacles<\/a> (John 7:2-38).<\/p>\n For opening night, you could watch the short message that was prepared for those attending in New Zealand and the Philippines: Feast of Tabernacles: A prelude to the Kingdom.<\/p>\n Here is a link to a sermon on the millennium: Did The Early Church Teach Millenarianism?<\/a><\/p>\n Other sermons are also available at the ContinuingCOG<\/a> channel. Some from 2014 are also expected to be uploaded to the ContinuingCOG<\/a> channel throughout the Feast of Tabernacles.<\/p>\n Some items of possibly related interest may include:<\/em><\/p>\n The Feast of Tabernacles: A Time for Christians?<\/a> Is this pilgrimage holy day still valid? Does it teach anything relevant for today’s Christians? What is the Last Great Day? What do these days teach?

\n“Come, and let us go up to the mountain of the Lord,
\nTo the house of the God of Jacob;
\nHe will teach us His ways,
\nAnd we shall walk in His paths.”
\nFor out of Zion the law shall go forth,
\nAnd the word of the Lord from Jerusalem.
\n3 He shall judge between many peoples,
\nAnd rebuke strong nations afar off;
\nThey shall beat their swords into plowshares,
\nAnd their spears into pruning hooks;
\nNation shall not lift up sword against nation,
\nNeither shall they learn war anymore.<\/p>\n
\nAnd no one shall make them afraid;
\nFor the mouth of the Lord of hosts has spoken.
\n5 For all people walk each in the name of his god,
\nBut we will walk in the name of the Lord our God
\nForever and ever.<\/p>\n
\n“I will assemble the lame,
\nI will gather the outcast
\nAnd those whom I have afflicted;
\n7 I will make the lame a remnant,
\nAnd the outcast a strong nation;
\nSo the Lord will reign over them in Mount Zion
\nFrom now on, even forever.
\n8 And you, O tower of the flock,
\nThe stronghold of the daughter of Zion,
\nTo you shall it come,
\nEven the former dominion shall come,
\nThe kingdom of the daughter of Jerusalem.” (Micah 4:2-8)<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
\nTabernacles Offertory: Sojourning Now for the Kingdom to Come<\/a> Are Christians pilgrims and sojourners? What is the pilgrim feast? Are Christians to worry or seek first the kingdom? Should an offering be taken up on the first day of the Feast of Tabernacles? What does the Bible seem to teach about that? Dr. Thiel goes over scriptures and facts related to this.
\nThe Feast of Tabernacles: A Time to Learn the Law<\/a> The Bible teaches that every seven years that the law should be read at the Feast of Tabernacles. This is what I did at the first Feast site were I gave an actual sermon (as opposed to a sermonette) in 2006.
