Ok, let’s continue on. Let’s go back to Psalm 119, because this tells us the whole approach on seeking God and seeking the kingdom of God. And this is a tremendous thing in our lives because even psychologists know this: that people in the world, if they don’t have goals, if they don’t have something worthwhile to work for and keep their minds on, that they deteriorate, they lose interest, fall into sin, fall into corruption, and so forth.

So here is how we are to seek God, Psalm 119:1. And there’s a blessing that comes with it. Tremendous blessing. And the result of that blessing will be realized at the resurrection and when we are in the kingdom of God. That’s why we keep looking forward. That’s why we keep looking to the kingdom of God and seeking the kingdom of God.

“Blessed are the undefiled in the way, who walk in the law of the LORD.” And of course whatever Jesus said in the New Testament, is that not the law of the Lord? Whatever the apostles wrote, as the apostle Paul said: “The things that I write to you, these are the commandments of the Lord” (I Cor. 14:37, paraphrased). Yes, indeed. So there’s a great blessing. “Blessed are they that keep His testimonies, and that seek Him with the whole heart” (Psalm 119:1-2). So that’s how we are to be. Wholehearted just like we read. We are to love Him with all our heart. And that is translated into seeking God, into seeking His way.

Now verse 3: “They also do no iniquity: they walk in His ways.” Which is true. If we are seeking that, if we are building character, if we are growing in grace and knowledge, if we remain under the grace of God we do know iniquity. That doesn’t mean that we don’t have sins that come along, it means we are not living in sin because we are repenting, we’re changing, we’re growing, we’re overcoming on a day to day basis.

Verse 4: “Thou hast commanded us to keep Thy precepts diligently.” Now then He makes this statement which is true to show the weakness of the flesh. “O that my ways were directed to keep Thy statutes! Then shall I not be ashamed, when I have respect unto all Thy commandments. I will praise Thee with uprightness of heart, when I shall have learned Thy righteous judgments” (verses 4-7). There it is, it is all learning. You see, that’s why God gave us the minds that we have so we can learn. Learn the things of God. And with God’s Spirit added to us, how great and how marvelous that is.

Now let’s see also some of the things we are to do in seeking the way that God wants us to do. Now in the New Testament it says: “Seek and you will find, knock and it shall be opened.” And so with that then it also means: “Seek - keep on seeking; knock – keep on knocking.” And then it finishes up by saying: “Ask and you shall receive” (Matt. 7:7-8; Luke 11:9-10). So you see whatever the challenge is that is ahead of you, remember that God has given it to us that every day is a new day and we can grow in grace and knowledge. If we have problems and difficulties we can change and repent and grow and overcome. If we have trials come upon us, God is with us and will see us out of it. See, all of those things work together for good. That’s why it says there in Romans 8:28 (FV): “And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are called according to His purpose.” So this is a tremendous thing. And brethren, we just need to realize how great it is that God has given us this and has called us.

Ok, since we’re here in the Book of Psalms let’s come to Psalm 69 and let’s see again how we are to be seeking God and seek His ways. Psalm 69:22. Now it talks about (for those in the world here) what’s going to happen in the world. No, that’s not the one that I want. Let’s bypass Psalm 69 for the time being. We’ll go to Psalm 63. And this shows us again, how we are to seek God’s way.

Now, as I gave a sermon recently showing that David had the ark in a special tabernacle in his own house, or in a building right next to his own house. And he would go out and he would worship God and pray to God, and he would also play all of his psalms right before that little tent, that little tabernacle that housed the ark of the covenant. And of course God’s presence was there with the ark of the covenant, which is reflected here in Psalm 63:1: “O God, Thou art my God; early will I seek Thee…” Now this is what is important to remember: “early will I seek You.” And constantly we need to be doing that. Don’t wait until you’re in trouble. Don’t wait until everything is falling apart. Don’t wait until disaster hits and you have to seek God when you really don’t have time to seek God. The time to seek God is when you have the time, which is now. And of course the way things are looking in the world, we don’t know how long we have to go. Could be a long way down the road. Could be not so far down the road. But we’re certainly entering into treacherous times. But never the less, this has to be the way that we do it. “…Early will I seek Thee: my soul thirsteth for Thee, my flesh longeth for Thee in a dry and thirsty land, where no water is…” Now you can trust this with the attitude of the Laodiceans. That’s why God commands the Laodiceans to repent and be zealous. And here’s the kind of repentance and zeal that needs to be put in place of complacency and lukewarmness.

Now notice he said: “To see Thy power and Thy glory, so as I have seen Thee in the sanctuary.” So apparently David saw some sort of form of God, or the presence or essence of God in the sanctuary. And that motivated him with great zeal and great desire, and also looking forward to the kingdom of God. Now notice, here’s what to understand about God’s way: “Because Thy lovingkindness is better than life…” That’s what we need to receive of God – the lovingkindness of God through loving Him with all our hearts, and mind, and soul, and being. And that is better than life – physical life, because that is spiritual life. “…My lips shall praise Thee. Thus will I bless Thee while I live: I will lift up my hands in Thy name” (verses 2-4).

Now down here to verse 6: “When I remember Thee upon my bed, and meditate on Thee in the night watches. Because Thou hast been my help, therefore in the shadow of Thy wings will I rejoice. My soul followeth hard after Thee: Thy right hand upholdeth me. But those that seek my soul, to destroy it, shall go into the lower parts of the earth” (verses 6-9). So there on the other hand we have it when the evil ones seek to come against us, there is their destiny. So God is given us this. That’s a tremendous thing, brethren.

Now let’s come over here to Psalm 84, which also shows part of the emphasis on the Feast of Tabernacles and seeking to be with God. This ties in with Psalm 15. “How amiable are Thy tabernacles, O LORD of hosts! My soul longeth, yea, even fainteth for the courts of the LORD: my heart and my flesh crieth out for the living God” (Psalm 84:1-2). So that’s the attitude we need to have. Brethren, please understand this: as the Feast of Tabernacles pictures the kingdom of God on earth, it pictures our preparing for it as well. And it pictures the things that we are going to be doing.

Now let’s come down here to verse 4: “Blessed are they that dwell in Thy house…” And as Jesus said, He’s going to prepare a place for us. “…They will be still praising Thee. Selah. Blessed is the man whose strength is in Thee; in whose heart are the ways of them” (verses 4-5). Or that is, the ways of God, as it should be and so forth.

Now let’s see what else he says here. Verse 9: “Behold, O God our shield, and look upon the face of Thine anointed. For a day in Thy courts is better than a thousand. I had rather be a doorkeeper in the house of my God, than to dwell in the tents of wickedness.” And that’s the attitude we need to have. Now we know for sure we’re not all going to be doorkeepers, but what David is saying here – even the lowliest job in the kingdom of God is greater than all the riches of the wicked. “For the LORD God is a sun and shield: the LORD will give grace and glory: no good thing will He withhold from them that walk uprightly. O LORD of hosts, blessed is the man that trusteth in Thee” (verses 9-12). And that’s the kind of character that we need to develop as we’re constantly seeking God.

Now let’s come to Romans 2 and let’s see what God promises to give us. This defines for us how we need to be seeking, and how we are going to be serving and loving God, and what God is going to give to us. Now here, what it does, it compares the wicked with the righteous. So here again is that dividing line. You see, whether we know it or not (but we need to realize that it is so) there is a dividing line between those people who are the people of God, and the world. God deals with the people of God the way that He’s outlined in the Bible, and He deals with the people in the world the way that He’s outlined in the Bible for them. And that’s the way that God works.

Now, let’s come over here to Romans 2:4, and let’s see again the comparison between the wicked and the righteous. “Or do you despise the riches of His kindness and forbearance and longsuffering, not knowing that the graciousness of God leads you to repentance?” And continually with the Spirit of God and the grace of God, He leads us to repentance. And the more that you know about God and the closer that you get to God, and the more that you are seeking God, and the more that you see and understand about your nature and the nature of the world and the greatness of God’s plan, the smaller that we become in our own eyes and the more grateful that we become and the more understanding we have of the awesomeness of the plan of God that He would choose us. You and all that God has chosen to be in the kingdom of God and to serve Him. That’s an awesome thing. You consider all the billions that are on the earth. Truly we are the few. Truly we are the scattered. But truly we are the called of God and He deals with us and leads us.

Now He talks about the wicked who don’t repent. “But you, according to your own hardness and unrepentant heart [that is to the wicked], are storing up wrath for yourself against the day of wrath and revelation of God’s righteous judgment [we are closer to that than we’ve ever been], who will render to each one according to his own works: on the one hand, to those who with patient endurance in good works are seeking glory and honor and immortality…” That’s our goal. What is God going to give us? “…Eternal life; on the other hand, to those who are contentious and who disobey the truth, but obey unrighteousness—indignation and wrath, tribulation and anguish—upon every soul of man who works out evil, both of the Jew first, and of the Greek…” But verse 10: “But glory and honor and peace to everyone who works good, both to the Jew first, and to the Greek, because there is no respect of persons with God” (verses 5-11). So that’s the dividing line that God has set out there.

Now let’s see some other things that we need to do. Let’s come to II Peter 3, right at the end. And here is the whole key. And this gives us the plan, the overall scope, as it were. You have to have an overall goal. Then you have to have a plan on how to get there. Then you have to have the details that work with that plan, which come down to our daily living. And God has given all that for us in His Word. That’s fantastic.

Ok, let’s pick it up here in II Peter 3:14: “For this reason, beloved, since you are anticipating these things [that is again, the coming Day of the Lord, the kingdom of God], be diligent [there’s the key – seek and be diligent], so that you may be found by Him in peace, spotless and blameless. And bear in mind that the longsuffering of our Lord is salvation, exactly as our beloved brother Paul, according to the wisdom given to him, has also written to you; as he has also in all his epistles, speaking in them concerning these things; in which are some things that are difficult to understand, which the ignorant and unstable are twisting and distorting, as they also twist and distort the rest of the Scriptures, to their own destruction” (II Peter 3:14-16, FV). So here shows again the separation between the righteous and the unrighteous; the brethren of God and the world.

Now verse 17: “Therefore, beloved, since you know this in advance [we already know and understand this, don’t we], be on guard against such practices, lest you be led astray with the error of the lawless ones, and you fall from your own steadfastness…” Now here’s the key to overcoming. Verse 18: “Rather, be growing in the grace and the knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ” (verses 17-18, FV). That’s what we need to be doing.

How do we do this? God also lays this out for us as we will see here in Colossians 3. Ok, Colossians 3 tells us what we need to do. It tells us what we need to seek, and how to do it. Verse 1: “Therefore, if you have been raised together with Christ [that is through the operation of baptism], seek the things that are above, where Christ is sitting at the right hand of God. Set your affection on the things that are above, and not on the things that are on the earth” (Col. 3:1-2, FV). Because you see that is likened to what it says “where your treasure is that’s where your heart is.” Or, “where your heart is that’s where your treasure is.” It works both ways. So if you’re doing that then that’s going to be a tremendous thing.

Now verse 3: “For you have died, and your life has been hid together with Christ in God. When Christ, Who is our life, is manifested, then you also shall be manifested with Him in glory.” And there again we have the goal. We’ll talk about this just before we conclude a little bit more. “Therefore, put to death…” So then here are the things we are to get rid of: sexual immorality, uncleanness, inordinate affection and all of those things and idolatry. And then we are also to put off the character flaws of wrath, indignation, malice, blasphemy, and foul language out of our mouths. And then it says we are to be: “…renewed in knowledge [verse 10] according to the image of Him Who created him…” (verse 3-5, 8-10, FV).

And then it says that we are therefore to develop the kind of character and compassion and understanding that God wants us to have, which we could say and just summarize in heart. Verse 12: “Put on then, as the elect of God, holy and beloved, deep inner affections, kindness, humility, meekness and long-suffering; forbearing one another, and forgiving one another if anyone has a complaint against another; even as Christ forgave you, so also you should forgive.” And then it says: “And above all these things put on love, which is the bond of perfection” (verses 12-14, FV). So that tells us how. There are other sections in the New Testament that tell us how to do it. In Ephesians, in Philippians, in the book of Romans – all of it is there for our growing and overcoming.

Now we are going to be sitting on thrones and judging. Now several years ago I gave two sermons during the Feast of Tabernacles: “Judge Righteous Judgment”. Now if you don’t have that printout and the two tapes that go with it, just write for it and we’ll be happy to send you that. But we are to judge righteous judgment, as Jesus said. Now as we see in John 7, during the Feast of Tabernacles, Jesus made that one of the themes that He told the religious leaders. He said, “None of you are keeping the law of Moses.” And He says, “You come and condemn Me and yet even you agree that a man can be circumcised on the Sabbath.” And He says, “And you can’t discern what I’m telling you.” He says, “Judge righteous judgment” (John 7:19-24, paraphrased). And that’s what we’re going to have to do. How can you judge righteous judgment? You have to have righteous character first. So that’s why God is preparing us, and training us, and giving us the experiences so that we can judge.

Now what did He tell the Laodiceans? He says, “Overcome and I will grant with you that you will sit in My throne [and judge] as I have overcame and sat down in My Father’s throne.” (Revelation 3:21, paraphrased).

We see that fulfilled here in Revelation 20. Now we’ve already read this verse, but let’s read it again and let’s see, beginning here in verse 4, the actual reality and fulfillment of when this is going to be at the beginning of the millennium. “And I saw thrones; and they that sat upon them, and judgment was given to them; and I saw the souls of those who had been beheaded…” and so forth. We’ve already covered that. “…They lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years.” But there it is - “throne” which means authority, which means rulership. “…And judgment was given to them…” In other words because you have the character of Christ; because you have grown in grace and knowledge; because you have learned to keep the commandments of God; because you love God with all your heart, and mind, and soul, and being, God is going to give the judgment to you because you can be trusted. That’s important. God isn’t going to give the judgment to anyone who can’t be trusted. And anyone who cannot be trusted (let’s put it this way) are not going to be in the kingdom of God because God is not going to have a repeat in the millennium of what is happening in the world today. See, because it’s going to be righteousness, and judgment, and goodness, and mercy. And we are going to be able to dispense these things, and teach these things, and help the people, and help them grow and overcome. See, because not only is that given to us to do, but it is also so that we can teach them (who are going to come into the millennium, live during the millennium, have salvation given to them), so that we can teach them that they can also enter into the kingdom of God. So you see this is a tremendous thing, a tremendous calling that God has given us. And all of this has to do with the Feast of Tabernacles.

Now let’s come to Matthew 25. Let’s understand something as we’re going to Matthew 25. Now remember that God has had the kingdom planned from the beginning. And since Adam and Eve failed, then He said, “Ok, I’m going to deal with men individually one at a time.” And that’s what He’s been doing. But the kingdom has been prepared for us. That’s what Christ is preparing.

Now let’s see here. Let’s pick it up here in Matthew 25:31: “ ‘Now when the Son of man shall come in His glory, and all the holy angels with Him, then shall He sit upon the throne of His glory…’ ” So not only is there going to be the throne of God the Father in heaven above, there’s going to be the throne of Christ on the earth. The throne of His glory. “ ‘And He shall gather before Him all the nations; and He shall separate them one from another, as a shepherd separates the sheep from the goats. And He shall set the sheep at His right hand, but the goats at His left. Then shall the King say to those at His right hand, ‘ “Come, you who are blessed of My Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world.” ’ ” (Matt. 25:31-34, FV). Now if you’ve never thought of it wrap your mind around this, if I could use that phrase. Think on this. You are part of what God has planned from the foundation of the world. Think on that. That makes you important to God. Loved of God, called of God. That’s why we’re not to get exalted in our own eyes or anything like that. How silly and vain and stupid that would be. But see, “prepared for us.” They didn’t know it. Why? Because they had the character to do the things that were here.

Verse 35: “ ‘ “For I was hungry, and you gave Me something to eat; I was thirsty, and you gave Me something to drink; I was a stranger, and you took Me in; I was naked, and you clothed Me; I was sick, and you visited Me; I was in prison, and you came to Me [or we could say, “in the hospital…” today, “…and you came to me”].” ’ Then shall the righteous answer Him, saying, ‘ “Lord, when did we see You hungry, and fed You? or thirsty, and gave You a drink? And when did we see You a stranger, and took You in? or naked, and clothed You? And when did we see You sick, or in prison, and came to You?” ’ ” Now why would they ask these questions? Very simple: because of loving God and loving their neighbor and walking in the ways of God, and everything that we’ve covered up to this point, just fill in that slot. You automatically do these things without thinking of self. And you do it because you love God. And you do it not for personal gain or aggrandizement. You do it because you love God. So Jesus answered: “ ‘And answering, the King shall say to them, ‘ “Truly I say to you, inasmuch as you have done it to one of the least of these My brethren, you have done it to Me.” ’ ” (verses 35-40, FV).

And then the opposite for those who are the wicked. And what do they get? I tell you, verse 46: “ ‘And they shall go away into eternal punishment, but the righteous into eternal life.’ ” Now, back to verse 41: “ ‘Then shall He also say to those on the left, ‘ “Depart from Me, you cursed ones, into the eternal fire, which has been prepared for the devil and his angels.” ’ ” (vs. 46, 41, FV). Isn’t that something? The lake of fire. In other words the dividing line will be permanent then, won’t it? You’ll either be in the kingdom of God living in glory doing the things that God wants, helping to reach out in whatever God has in the expanse of this universe, because if God created this little old Earth for all that He’s doing on the Earth, think of what He’s created the vastness of the universe for. And that’s part of what God is preparing for us, you see. We need to understand that. You see, the problem is too many of those who call themselves Christians think little. Christ thinks BIG – HUGE. He’s got a great and a fantastic plan. So in the final analysis it’s going to be this: either you’re going to be in the kingdom of God and live forever, or you no longer exist. Now that’s quite a huge dividing line, isn’t it? We’ll see that a little bit later.

Let’s come here to I Corinthians 6. Let’s see about some of this judgment. I already mentioned about sitting down in the throne of Christ and judging. But let’s come to I Corinthians 6 and let’s see what God is going to give us a responsibility for doing. Now maybe you’ve never thought of this. This is why we are to have understanding and wisdom and judgment, you see. And the more that you live by God’s way, and the more that you understand His laws and commandments, and the more that you walk in grace and knowledge and apply yourself to the Word of God, the more you’re going to be able to make righteous judgments.

Now here I Corinthians 6:1 where Paul is saying here: “Does anyone among you who has a matter against another dare to go to a court of law before the unrighteous, and not before the saints? Don’t you know that the saints shall judge the world?” And of course that’s all during the millennium, right? Thrones were put down, the judgment was set, as we read yesterday. Absolutely, without any problem whatsoever. “And if the world is to be judged by you, are you unworthy of the most trivial of judgments?” (I Cor. 6:1-2, FV). See, when God calls us we’re sinners, we’re foolish, we’re stupid. And the whole situation is to take us from being a child of the world and a child of the devil, and to change us, and convert us, and transform us into the image made like unto Jesus Christ. And from becoming sinners and nothing, to becoming the sons of God to rule and judge the world. And then he says here, “And if the world is to be judged by you … can’t you make even the most trivial judgments?” (paraphrased)

“Don’t you know that we shall judge angels? How much more then the things of this life? So then, if you have judgments concerning the things of this life, why do you appoint as judges those who have no standing in the church?” (verses 3-4, FV). In other words there has to be a certain amount of character and truth and understanding. So likewise during the millennium there’s going to have to be that character, and there’s going to have to be that truth, and there’s going to have to be that understanding that God gives us.

Now let’s look at Psalm 122 and let’s see where there is a prophecy of these thrones and judgment that is going to be given. So God has a tremendous plan for us. God is preparing the kingdom for us. Isn’t that something? God is preparing a place for us. A specific thing for each one of us. I tell you the plan of God is so great, pictured by the holy days and the Feast of Tabernacles and the things that we are doing.

Psalm 122:1: “I was glad when they said unto me, Let us go into the house of the LORD.” Just think what it’s going to be like to enter into the kingdom of God. So let’s expand this in our thinking. What’s it going to be like to walk in to the Jerusalem that Christ is going to renew on the earth, which then looks forward to the new Jerusalem which comes down out of heaven?

“Our feet shall stand within Thy gates, O Jerusalem. Jerusalem is builded as a city that is compact together: whither the tribes go up, the tribes of the LORD, unto the testimony of Israel, to give thanks unto the name of the LORD. For there are set thrones of judgment, the thrones of the house of David” (verses 2-5). Now let’s understand something about that. That is referring to the reward of the church, which ties in with Revelation 20:4 that we just read.

Now let’s come to Acts 15 and let’s see where the churches… No, we won’t turn there, we’ll just tell you. Just make a reference there that the prophecy was that God was going to raise up the Tabernacle of David, which has fallen down (Acts 15:16-17). And the tabernacle of David, then, refers to the church. And the Tabernacle of David refers to that tabernacle that he had at his house where he had the ark temporarily until the temple could be built. And so that’s referring to us and to all of those who enter into the kingdom of God. So that’s really a tremendous thing. The thrones are set. The thrones of judgment, the thrones of the house of David. And that’s what we’re going to do. And that’s the part that God has given us to do.

Now let’s see how absolutely overwhelmingly important that this is. Now I’m going to tell you something that maybe you have never though of, which is this: the fulfilling of the prophecies in the world today are waiting upon us. And the bringing of the kingdom of God into this world is waiting upon us.

Now let’s come back to Romans 8. And here again we are going to see the recipe of growing and changing and overcoming (or the outline of it if you want to put it that way), and how important that is for us and what this is for the world. Verse 14: “For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, these are the sons of God. Now you have not received a spirit of bondage again unto fear…” That’s why there is the dividing line between the church and the world. Though we live in the world, we are not of the world. Though we have to exist in the world and work in the world, we are not a part of the world. And we haven’t “…received the spirit of the world, which is the spirit of bondage again unto fear but you have received the Spirit of sonship, whereby we call out, ‘Abba, Father’ ” (Rom. 8:14-15, FV). So in this relationship with God the Father and Jesus Christ in growing and overcoming and being prepared by the Spirit of God, by the Word of God to rule and reign with Christ, you see, we have this intimate relationship with God.

Verse 16: “The Spirit itself bears witness conjointly with our own spirit, testifying that we are the children of God. Now if we are children, we are also heirs…” And what did Jesus say? “It is the Father’s delight to give you the kingdom that He has prepared for you from before the foundation of the world.” (Matt. 25:34, paraphrased). “…Truly, heirs of God and joint heirs with Christ…” Now what did He inherit? He inherited the whole universe (Hebrews 1). You see, what God has called us to, and what the Feast of Tabernacles pictures, and how we are going to work and function in the kingdom of God all during the millennium and then on out into eternity is fantastic, brethren. It is absolutely marvelous. Now he says: “…—if indeed [now there’s a catch] we suffer together with Him, so that we may also be glorified together with Him” (verse 16-17, FV). So when He returns in glory and the first resurrection takes place and we are clothed with glory and majesty and honor. That’s something. That’s what it’s talking about – glorified together with him.

Now, how then, as Paul shows here, how then do you keep that dividing line of the world and sin away from you? Verse 18: “For I reckon that the sufferings of the present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory that shall be revealed in us.” You keep your mind on the goal. You keep your mind on God the Father and Jesus Christ. And you keep your mind on the hope that He set before us.

“For the earnest expectation of the creation…” Now I want you to let this verse 19 (as Jesus told His disciples one time), let it sink deep into your ears. “For the earnest expectation of the creation [the whole creation of God and this world] itself is awaiting the manifestation of the sons of God…” That’s how important you are to God. The whole creation of God is waiting for that. Isn’t that something?

Verse 20: “Because the creation was subjected to vanity…”, which we will talk about tomorrow. And even though human life, as great as the creation that God has made of the human body and the reproductive capacities of human beings and so forth, without the plan of God it is vain. So it was made subject to vanity. “...Not willingly, but by reason of Him who subjected it in hope…” Now let me tell you what this verse is talking about. You go clear back to the Garden of Eden and Adam and Eve and their sin, and though God judged them, though they were cursed for their sin, He gave them the hope of the sacrifice of Christ in verse 15 of Genesis 3. So that’s what God is portraying here. Since from the time of Adam and Eve on down to the return of Christ, mankind has been subject to vanity. But He has subjected it in hope in order, verse 21: “…that the creation itself might be delivered from the bondage of corruption into the freedom of the glory of the children of God.” And that’s what this Feast of Tabernacles pictures. When that will be a reality on this earth. “For we know that all the creation is groaning together and travailing together until now” (verses 20-22, FV). See, it’s waiting for the manifestation of the sons of God. It is waiting for the kingdom of God and they don’t know it.

So brethren, that’s the calling that God has given us. Really quite a tremendous thing and fantastic opportunity. So what I want you to do with this Feast of Tabernacles, and continue on down even when we go back to our homes when the feast is over, is to grow in grace and knowledge, to grow in understanding, and let this be as we could say, a goal or a vision to keep you growing and overcoming. Because like the proverbs say, “without vision the people perish,” and God has given us this vision and the whole world is waiting for you.
