The feast of Tabernacles

This is a sermon that I transcribed it's part one of around five parts a little over an hour of video message and it talks about the feast of Tabernacles and how that is related to entire sanctification and the purification of the church in the last days

Today I want to talk about One of the prophecies or maybe even two of the prophecies that I got written on my page I wanted to give a little bit of an explanation on how that relates to us in the days and the age that we're in now God has revealed to me some of the doctrine and some of the teachings that I wouldn't say are common but they've been around, they've been around for a while and some of them are being now promoted in certain churches and that seems to be related to these prophecies, he's shown me that this is what this is actually talking about.

What I'm talking about is the feast of the Tabernacles which is a Jewish feast and if we look at the feasts and all of the law, everything in the old covenant was a shadow or a reflection pointing to something that would happen in the new covenant okay so when we look at the Passover the feast of the Passover Jesus fulfilled that feast in the spiritual new covenant because the new covenant is a covenant of the spirit the old is a covenant of law and ritual but law and ritual points to law of the spirit.

So he was the fulfillment of the Passover not only that he was also the fulfillment of the Sabbath so when we look at the Passover that was fulfilled, and then the feast of Pentecost that was also fulfilled we see that the pouring out of God's holy spirit it came down upon the church for the first time and that was a fulfilling of that feast so every feast has a spiritual fulfillment under the new covenant and when we look further we come into the feast the tabernacles.

We are in the feast of trumpets now this is a season that we're actually entering into now, the lord is made that clear to me in the prophecies that he gave to me that he's pointed me back to men that had been teaching this now for a while but I wasn't aware of that and he showed me the links between the prophecies that he given me and the teachings that had already been given to other people which is normally how it works God never gives you anything special that he hasn't given someone else or that he won't give someone else its always out of the mouth of two or three legitimate solid witnesses that every word prophetic word and every doctrine will be established your never going to come up with something personally, he's never gonna give you something new that he can't verify with scripture and with other holy men, men that are walking in holiness, these he would have given the same message too, but what he does is the holy spirit tends to give us the same message to a lot of different people but it's it comes through the filter , we filter it through our understanding and so sometimes it turns out slightly different , the doctrine is not different but the definitions and the parables the figures of speech can be can be different, the prophetic reality of its can appear as if it's a different doctrine but its generally speaking the same thing just in general he speaks through different figures of speech.

When the holy spirit gives us something he can give us a revelation on a doctrine or teaching, he can reveal to us some teachings from the scripture and can give it to us in different expressions and as expressions go if you know how to interpret in the spirit you'll see that those expressions are really saying the same thing so I'm gonna go to the prophecy that he gave me on the 14th of December to 2021 and this is basically talking about these feasts but it he more or less spoke in another way, he says the same things in different ways because he's not a God of ritual he's a God of spontaneity, God likes to speak in different ways to get the same message out and I think when you look at the parables of Jesus Christ, Jesus clearly spoke multiple parables and he was trying to say the same thing in a number of different ways and that's how the holy spirit worked.

By using different figures of speech to try to push the same message but what I was saying before was, so we know that the baptism of the holy spirit come on the church and that was the the feast that was on the feast of Passover so there was a spiritual fulfillment and we're coming into the feast of trumpets now which is a part of the tabernacles okay and this feast of the trumpets we are entering into that now and this is the message that is being trumpeted that there is coming a feast of the tabernacles , the fulfillment of that feast has to happen on the earth in the way that the other two feasts had to happen this is not something that's going to happen in the next age it's going to be something that happens in this age so what the trumpets to me means is that the message is going to be proclaimed through a number of different voices through a number of different prophetic people it's going to be proclaimed from the rooftops so to speak and the message is going to be that the Lord is purifying his church and he's preparing his bride, you see that the doctrine of the perfect bride the spotless bride that people seem to be promoting now is the same doctrine it's the same doctrine of the feast the tabernacles its just spoken in a different way, when the feast of trumpets fullfilled we then move into what is called The Day of atonement ,okay that day of atonement is something that has to be fulfilled, now this is when the priests enter into the holiest of holies , that's where the glory is ok that's where the glory is and the priest represent the church The remnant church The seekers of God so the seekers of God are going to enter into the holiest of all ,into the glory realm this is the final move of the holy spirit and the final preparation of the church for Christ's literal coming and what you're probably remember if you read the read the Old testament you'll find that the priest had to be clean there had to be no sin there was a particular purification process that they had to go through before they could enter into the holy of holies and you probably would have heard traditions say that they had to have a rope tied around their leg and the high priest went in and if he had any sin in his life any unrepentant sin it was over .

So there's is a holiness that has to be on him a sanctification holiness that had to be on the the high priest to be in the presence of the Lord so the high priest represents us as the church ,Jesus is the high priest but we know the Bible says it is no longer we who live but it is Christ who lives in US so we're allowing the high priest to live through us that's why the church is called the body of Christ, He expresses his fullness through the church and that's where we're coming to now we're coming to this we are moving into a new age of the church I call it the strength of the church that's how I understood it a new age of the strength of the church other people call it the kingdom age we have moved out of the church age into the kingdom age and that to me it's the same thing it's just another way of saying it and so in the way that the Passover feast has been fulfilled and the way that Pentecost has been fulfilled we're about to fulfill the next feast ,the feast of trumpets and tabernacles and that's it, that is it, that is the end of the age and we coming into to that end of the age experience where the feasts of the tabernacles is going to be fulfilled and so on.

You know I would have to say I've heard about this sort of teaching you know maybe six months ago and I thought okay this sounds you know this sounds similar to what I've been getting through the holy spirit and now the holy spirit's quickened it on me to show me it is exactly what he's talking about, he's speaking in another way and even what I've been talking about in some of my other videos if you've seen the video of the deep work of the cross it's the same thing that the Lord has been speaking to me in about the deeper work at the cross how that moving through the stages of Jesus ministry, his ministry is a picture of the spiritual reality of the church's journey.

When Jesus was baptised by John his ministry began and then the miracles and then the sitting down with the sinners at the wedding feast he began and he started to do his ministry that is a representation of the church going through its different stages of development and also a picture of personal stages on a personal level we go through this but the church also goes through this on a corporate journey in evolution, the church evolves so to speak And so you know there's a first stage when Christ is baptized in that three and a half year ministry we go through that as babes in Christ we're in that stage where we sit down at the feast and we sit down with Jesus and with the sinners and we're mixing in with the sinners we're still connected to the world in a way where we're not persecute that much often times we still accepted by the world we're rejoicing in our new birth and our baptism of the holy spirit but we still babes in Christ or teenagers in Christ and we still have a carnal mind like Paul taught in the letter to the Corinthians that they he couldn't speak to them as spiritual so and that's the first stage and then we move into the later stages of Christ ministry where rejection from the world starts persecution ca begins suffering starts and that's part of the Christian journey is to experience the sufferings of Christ in the same way that Christ experienced it partaking in the sufferings of Christ it's an important part of our journey and in Hebrews it says the results of this chastisement which it is called, people might not like it but that's what Hebrews says , the results is a holiness.

So there's a purification that happens when you do get rejected when you partake in the sufferings of Christ, what comes out the other end is a holiness ,a new found trust in God and a new found rejection of the world system you loose your passion for the world system and the enjoyment of the world you lose that, the sufferings does something to take you out of the world and put you in a more of a spiritual dimension and you're reliance on God becomes tenfold because you cant rely on anything in the world that's just one way of putting what what partaking in the sufferings of Christ does and then you move you know, that suffering leads to the cross itself and that cross represents the death of the old man and moving into a new resurrection life and you know a lot of people think they're living in the resurrection life but you've got to go through the carrying of the Cross which is a willingness to die a willingness, it's an embracing of the death old man that's not embraced when you're young Christian you're not embracing losing that, the old man the character because that's who you were, but once you go through sufferings you get to the point where you embrace the cross focuses on the cross the death of Christ and then you realize it's your own death it's there's a unique conversion that happens at the cross we get converted when we're born again but there's a unique conversion that happens when we move to the cross and then we pass from the Cross into resurrection life then we've got the resurrection life which is this is something similar to what the church is going to move through on as a whole as a corporate entity it generally hasn't moved through these stages but God is bringing it on a personal level and a corporate level.

Once we move through resurrection life we then start to live the ascended life which is out of the holiest of holies in heaven and that's that's exactly what the feast of the Tabernacles is it's a moving into the holiest of holies.

While an interesting allegory, it sounds somewhat questionable, brothagary.

1. Christians have been going from placing their faith in Christ to sizable maturity since Christianity was birthed. Why then shoul maturity on a personal level be a big deal as the day of the Lord draws near?

2. The bride, I understand, shall me made up of all the Christians (as though they were building blocks) who have and shall fight a good fight by the arrival of the day of the Lord.

So it seems very unorthodox to say the Church (or the body of Christ) should, on a corporate level, tap into maturity in the name of the bride's preparation. Running the sad risk of justifying/excusing all Churches (and constituting members) that have operated in babes-like state - for they would say: it was not given yet that we can tap into maturity. Because contrary to such assertion, we read of many Churches (through their constituting members) that thrived in their cross-walk, dating back to early centuaries

I'm not sure if I fully understand your line of questioning Kevin.

After the apostasy in the first century and then church moving into institutionalized religion that doesn't seem to be any evidence of the body of Christ moving into Christ like mature states on any corporate substantial level.

That Was the reason why God sent the holy spirit to bring revelation to people like Martin Luther who began to receive revelation and restore to the church the body of Christ vital teachings and vital revelation and this has increased since that time and there is a flow on effect from what God began to do beginning around the time of the reformation.

See after that around the time of the first great awakening more revelation had been restored back into the church regarding the baptism of the spirit and the truth about how God functions in revival these types of things were very foreign to the body of Christ as a whole for over a thousand years God showed his Grace by restoring truths.

Purity on a personal level has always been important whether it has been experienced much is the problem.

The church started through a corporate baptism of the spirit the body of Christ experienced the renewings of Grace in a corporate setting and that will continue on and increase where something is taking place on a corporate level it is also taking place on a personal level obviously.

The Apostle Paul clearly said the five ascension gift ministries was given for the perfecting of the Saints until there was a unity that was created by the Grace's of the holy spirit, Jesus Christ talked about a unity of love that can only come about through a mature perfect love that cast out all fear and vanity so that disciples will be able to love one another and the world will know that we are the disciples of Christ, none of this has been fulfilled within the church on a major corporate level.

Other words those that say they abide in Christ ought to walk just as he walked,it will be the fulfillment of that taking place amongst a large remnant.

The teachings on entire sanctification and holiness are really the precursor and the down payment on what will be taught and what will be experienced by multitudes of Christians before Christ returns.

Those teachings were also lost in the Dark ages amongst the bulk of christendom maybe practice by some of the monks and talked about by some of the theologians, God is bringing that to the forefront through gracious revelation to the layman .

So in that respects the prophecy of Jesus Christ in regards to Unity and the teachings of the Apostle Paul in regards to Unity must be fulfilled before Christ comes back rather than being allegory that is a true teaching or doctrine of the scripture that got lost throughout the Dark ages in religion and ritual and religious spirit.

I think the opposite that it's very orthodox that as we come to the end of this age before Christ returns that there will be tribulation upon the world and upon the church and and God will be working all things for good for those that love God and those that are called according to his purpose and through that partaking sufferings of Christ, on a personal and a corporate level we will see a partaking of holiness on a corporate level and an outpouring of Glory of Fire baptism that will work in tandem with the sufferings of Christ to bring about a holiness in this that we've never seen due to the ground not being prepared and plowed nor the season being the right season for a great harvest that will come at the end of the age.

God is not just concerned about harvesting but he is concerned about the processing of that harvest the maturing of that harvest and the storing in a barn where none of the rats and vermin will be able to steal the harvest and so God will make provision for the final harvest season to be of the finest quality prepared and preserved for him to consume in his coming kingdom.

This Will be nothing but grace upon Grace and Glory upon Glory that no man may boast in anything but the Lord.

I don't think God excuses the fact that churches operate in a Babe-like state and I don't think this teaching would run the risk of that at all.

Much of the main reason why that is taking place and has taken place throughout church history is because the ascension gift has not been functioning properly within the church and the church was bound up in religion and the graces of the ascension gifts never flowed through the body of Christ the way it should have to help the church mature in other words true discipleship making was not really taking place as a whole and when it was taking place it was deficient it was a pastor doing all the work which will never suffice in raising up when God is said he has given five ministry gifts for that purpose not one or two.

The question is begged what will take place when those five ascension gift ministries become matured themselves and then function at discipling and teaching the disciples to make disciples, what will become of the church when it's truly functioning in that biblical model.

The answer will be a glory upon Glory the perfect love that casts out all fear, a bride who has made herself ready.

The feast of Tabernacles will be fulfilled.

Are you more Calvinistic or Arminianistic, brathagary? I mean to make some remarks but I thought knowing this could help me better comment. I am more Arminian myself.

I lean towards weasly Arminian theology, but Calvinistist eschatology.( postmill )

I spent some time as a 4-point Calvinist in the past.

Okay Welsley as well here. I should comment further soon hopefully.

My thinking, brothagary, is that the church goes south when the constituting members go south. And that members goes south the same way Adam and Eve went south (by heading the devil's deceiption). But to present things after the said allegory seems to suggest predestination?

When the Church of Galatia seemed bewhitched, some other churches may have been triving then. Or I am missing something?

PS. Ah, maybe your "Calvinistist eschatology" explains it? I would understand if so.

John Wesley was also a post millennialist he subscribed to Bengals eschatology.

Which had a dual millennium but Wesley believed in a very similar way to the Calvinists like Jonathan Edwards that the church would increase and revival would sweep the whole world.

No I don't subscribe to the calvinist view predestination myself

No I understand. Either I still have much to learn or I am missing something. I recall that he exhibited cessationalism on his commentary over James 5:14. So yes, it so seems we are all on a long journey indeed.

But yes when him an Whitefield came to let bygones be bygones over the predestination disagreement, I came to give up on persuit of a state where we are of exactly the same systematic theology. For it seemes God was not very concerned about bringing them thus to one view. Their thorn maybe?

Amen that's how think, Weasely sermon at Whitefield's funeral was a classic of brotherly love and unity through diversity.

weaslys is a strange one because there letters of his and in his journal that really show that he believed in the gifts of the spirit and argued against cessationism.

Okay I see now - I was not aware that there are sources where he explicitly asserted thus. Glad to know. I had also found him to tend to skip commenting on verses relating to tongues but I eventually found one where he did today.
