Considering the MEANINGS of the Fall Harvest FESTIVALS of the Bible

Traditional Christianity, since the Rejection of things “Jewish” by the Apostate Church of the early Fourth Century, lost Awareness of Important Truths regarding How God intends to Extend the Opportunity for Salvation to ALL who have ever lived! The Early New Testament Church understood God’s Plan in ways lost to the Modern Religious World.

This Series will Address that Aspect of God’s Plan!

Appreciating the Last Great Day The final generation of life for evaluating (judging) those who never had opportunity for salvation: Bringing in the great harvests of humanity. All the ‘rest of the dead’ are raised, after the millennium, to be afforded that opportunity which they never had! Another resurrection, the resurrection of the Last Day, brings up all who ever lived to join these for Final Sentencing at the End! The event described by Christ in Matthew 25:31-46.

The Feasts of God What these days mean in regard to World Salvation! Holydays illustrate the ‘early and the latter rains’: Harvests of humanity who are judged worthy to be brought into the Spirit-born Family of God. Revelation chapter 14 describes each of those harvests and the ‘end of physical existence’. Rich

Ezekiel’s millennial message Ezekiel presents a message of hope to the whole deceased ‘Houses of Judah AND Israel’. Thirteen whole chapters are devoted to describing Israel’s unique place in the redemptive Plan during the seventh millennium, and graphically presenting the Religious Systems that will be practiced exclusively: A restored Ceremonial System for those being prepared for conversion and a Faith-based system for those having God’s Spirit and truly being converted.

Government in the Church and Member Responsibility

Variations exist among God’s elect with respect to the manner in which God’s Church ought to be organized and administered. There are extremes of opinions: the attitude that little or no organization is necessary or appropriate, to the other extreme, in which “Government” is afforded the highest regard in a highly structured establishment of absolute power and near ‘official’ infallibility!

Though given little direct Biblical mention, the issue of government within the Church is often illustrated in the actions and situations related in the context of Scripture. It has remained largely our doing to evaluate those situations, and to create from them concepts of government under which we operate. The following messages consider those concepts and how they affected our spiritual growth and our congregations’ long term viability.
