Jesus Rules And Reigns

Our recent messages have focused on the events that will take place "On That Day" which is mentioned numerous times in the prophetic books of the Bible. "On That Day" is a timeframe at the end of the Tribulation Period when all that we currently experience will be changed dramatically. Israel with God's help wins two different wars and Jesus Christ returns to earth to rule and reign from Jerusalem for a thousand years. This week's message will describe a series of events occurring at the start of the thousand years.

God's Covenant People started their celebration of the Feast of Tabernacles last Sunday night lasting one week. During this Feast Jewish people construct a temporary hut or tabernacle in their backyards leaving open spaces in the roof to be able to talk with God. Families gather together in these tabernacles to eat their meals and remember to thank God for protecting and providing for them during their 40 years in the wilderness.

How does the Feast of Tabernacles relate to future events that  take place at the start of the thousand years? Isaiah 2:2 says, "In the last days, the mountain of the Lord's temple will be established as chief among the mountains; it will be raised above the hills, and all nations will stream to it. Many peoples will come and say, 'come, let us go up to the mountain of The Lord, to the house of the God of Jacob. He will teach us His ways, so that we may walk in His path.'"

There is a direct connection between Isaiah 2:2 and Zechariah 14:16,17 which say, "Then the survivors from all the nations that have attacked Jerusalem will go up year after year to worship the King, The Lord Almighty and to celebrate the Feast of Tabernacles. If any of the peoples of the earth do not go up to Jerusalem to worship The King, The Lord Almighty, they will have no rain." All nations must come to Jerusalem to participate in the Feast of Tabernacles and those who do not come will experience droughts.

Yes, Jesus will be ruling and reigning from Jerusalem for all of the thousand years and beyond. Bless His Holy Name!

May The Lord Bless You And Keep You This Day And Every Day,
