Feasts Part 3 EXODUS 12:37 And the children of Israel journeyed from Rameses to Succoth, about six hundred thousand on foot that were men, beside children. 38 And a mixed multitude went up also with them; and flocks, and herds, even very much cattle. /var/folders/p_/18fbd86x6wl_dg7lt6gjfh9m 0000gn/T/com.apple.Preview/com.apple.Pr eview.PasteboardItems/mens-version1.jpg October 31st to Nov. 2nd 10/15/14 The Feasts 3 4 http://message-companion.info/index.html "But I have come to this place that I want to explain what stage of time we're living in according to the ministry that the Lord give me. And I wanted to record it from the tabernacle. It came on my heart last spring, but I waited till I got back here so I could get a recording of it, to send it to you peoples of the world." Present Stage of My Ministry, September 8, 1962 5 Alternative Investing Crashing Oil Prices Could Crush Vladimir Putin By Jesse Solomon @JesseSolomonCNN October 15, 2014: 7:23 AM ET Falling oil prices are good for American drivers, but not for Russia. In early March when Russia first sent troops into Ukraine, oil was trading comfortably above $100 per barrel. Now, it's around $81, a level not seen in three years. That's a tough pill for Russia to swallow since the country relies heavily on oil revenues to bankroll its budget -- over half of the government's revenues come from oil and gas. "We're probably getting closer to the point of pain," said Phil Flynn, an energy analyst at the Price Futures Group. "It's definitely putting the squeeze on their balance sheet." 10/15/14 The Feasts 3 6 LEVITICUS 23:1-4 1 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, 2 Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, Concerning the feasts of the LORD, which ye shall proclaim to be holy convocations, even these are my feasts. 3 Six days shall work be done: but the seventh day is the sabbath of rest, an holy convocation; ye shall do no work therein: it is the sabbath of the LORD in all your dwellings. 4 These are the feasts of the LORD, even holy convocations, which ye shall proclaim in their seasons. 10/15/14 The Feasts 3 7 10/15/14 The Feasts 3 8 Feast: chagag (Heb) To hold a feast, festival, make pilgrimage, keep a pilgrim- feast, celebrate, dance, stagger, to reel. To move in a circle. II CHRONICLES 2:4 4 Behold, I build an house to the name of the LORD my God, to dedicate it to him, and to burn before him sweet incense, and for the continual shewbread, and for the burnt offerings morning and evening, on the sabbaths, and on the new moons, and on the solemn feasts of the LORD our God. This is an ordinance for ever to Israel. 10/15/14 The Feasts 3 9 GOD'S.CHOSEN.PLACE.OF.WORSHIP 38 Now, all the feasts, the holidays, all the tabernacle, all the wood, everything in the tabernacle, everything typed Christ. All the offerings, all the laws, everything was in type of Christ. We've been through it, time after time, here at the tabernacle. Then we see, by these, that every creed, church, and denomination is left far behind. It's not even in the race, at all. Every creed, every church, every denomination, is completely left out. 65-0220 10/15/14 The Feasts 3 10 10/15/14 The Feasts 3 11 Yom Kippur Begins sunset of Friday, October 3, 2014 Ends nightfall of Saturday, October 4, 2014 No work is permitted. Sukkot Begins sunset of Wednesday, October 8, 2014 Ends nightfall of Wednesday, October 15, 2014 No work permitted on October 9 - 10. Work is permitted on October 12 - 15 with certain restrictions. Shemini Atzeret & Simchat Torah Begins sunset of Wednesday, October 15, 2014 Ends nightfall of Friday, October 17, 2014 No work is permitted 10/15/14 The Feasts 3 12 GOD'S.CHOSEN.PLACE.OF.WORSHIP 50 Notice, all seven Jewish feasts was kept in the same place. They never kept one feast here for the Methodist, one over here for the Baptist, back here for the Catholic, and the Protestant. All seven feasts was kept in the same place. 51 It's a very beautiful type here. We've just went through the Seven Church Ages, going to show that God keep all Seven Church Ages in the Word, for each church age produced a part of the Word, and whenever they produced it and they saw the Light. Just like the people who first discovered to baptize in Jesus' Name. They made a denomination out of it, and it died right there. 10/15/14 The Feasts 3 13 Then God moved right out into somebody else. He will not stay in one of those creeds and dogmas. There is nothing perverted about God. God's Word is holy, unadulterated. Christ is God's center spot of worship. He is God. 52 All seven feasts must be kept in this one place. You couldn't keep the feast in any other place. The seven feasts of the year must be kept in one place. Therefore, the Seven Church Ages had to come from the one single place, that was Christ speaking in all Seven Church Ages. Type, of the Seven Church Ages, but they made denominations out of it. 65-0220 10/15/14 The Feasts 3 14 10/15/14 The Feasts 3 15 FAITH.ONCE.DELIVERED.TO.THE.SAINTS And here, it's one thing and another thing. "I believe this and I believe that." Christianity, so-called, has too many loose ends. But there's really only one faith. 57-0610 IS.THIS.THE.SIGN.OF.THE.END.SIR 289 There is a lot of Truth lost out there, where others compromised on Truth. But this seventh angel don't compromise on nothing. He gathers up all the loose ends, gathers them all up. And at his sounding, "All the mystery of God should be finished." Oh! God, send him. All of the hidden mysteries was finished when, he, It was revealed to him. If these are hidden mysteries, the man will have to be a prophet. 62-1230 10/15/14 The Feasts 3 16 INFLUENCE 8 And we're looking forward to the time that when... all the loose ends of these great revivals that's come across the world in the last few centuries, well, since the falling away of the church, and then the dark age. And then these great warriors came forth, for Truth, and they would live long enough to get it kind of halfway established, and then little loose ends would run out. 63-0112 THE.FIRST.SEAL And at the end of the Pentecostal age we are supposed to receive, according to the Word, hat we are to receive a messenger that will take all those loose ends out there and reveal the whole secret of God for the rapturing of10/15/14 the Church. The Feasts 3 17 10/15/14 The Feasts 3 18 Lev. 23:39-44 39 On the fifteenth day of the seventh month, when you have gathered in the produce of the land, you shall celebrate the feast of the Lord seven days. On the first day shall be a solemn rest, and on the eighth day shall be a solemn rest. 40 And you shall take on the first day the fruit of splendid trees, branches of palm trees and boughs of leafy trees and willows of the brook, and you shall rejoice before the Lord your God seven days. 41 You shall celebrate it as a feast to the Lord for seven days in the year. It is a statute forever throughout your generations; you shall celebrate it in the seventh month. 42 You shall dwell in booths for seven days. All native Israelites shall dwell in booths, 43 that your generations may know that I made the people of Israel dwell in booths when I brought them out of the land of Egypt: I am the Lord your God. 44 Thus Moses declared to the people of Israel the appointed feasts of the Lord. 10/15/14 The Feasts 3 19 10/15/14 The Feasts 3 20 Sukkot The Festival of Sukkot begins on Tishri 15, the fifth day after Yom Kippur. It is quite a drastic transition, from one of the most solemn holidays in our year to one of the most joyous. Sukkot is so unreservedly joyful that it is commonly referred to in Jewish prayer and literature as the Season of our Rejoicing. 10/15/14 The Feasts 3 21 10/15/14 The Feasts 3 22 Historically, Sukkot commemorates the fortyyear period during which the children of Israel were wandering in the desert, living in temporary shelters. Agriculturally, Sukkot is a harvest festival and is sometimes referred to as, the Festival of Ingathering. The word "Sukkot" means "booths," and refers to the temporary dwellings that we are commanded to live in during this holiday in memory of the period of wandering. 10/15/14 The Feasts 3 23 ECCL. 12:6-8; 13-14 6 Or ever the silver cord be loosed, or the golden bowl be broken, or the pitcher be broken at the fountain, or the wheel broken at the cistern. 7 Then shall the dust return to the earth as it was: and the spirit shall return unto God who gave it. 8 Vanity of vanities, saith the preacher; all is vanity. 13 Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear God, and keep his commandments: for this is the whole duty of man. 14 For God shall bring every work into judgment, with every secret thing, whether it be good, or whether it be evil. 10/15/14 The Feasts 3 24 GOD.HIDING.HIMSELF.IN.SIMPLICITY 80 And these little places... As David could not build the true tabernacle of God, because he wasn't prepared to do it... So is it today to us. We are not prepared to build the true Tabernacle of God. There's only One can do that, and it's being in its construction now. But this little tabernacle, along with the temple that Solomon built Him, and along with the others, are only temporary places of worship until the time comes when the real Tabernacle will be set up upon the earth, and righteousness shall reign from sky to sky, and there will be no more sorrow. 63-0317 10/15/14 The Feasts 3 25 QUESTIONS.AND.ANSWERS.2 38 We are right now glorified in the Presence of God, borned again believers, "For if this earthly tabernacle be dissolved, we have one already waiting in glory," not somewhere else, right yonder already waiting now. And these earthly bodies groan to be clothed upon with that immortality. Sickness, aches, pains, disappointments, heartaches. Oh, I'll be glad when the old pesthouse is closed up, won't you? We can go home. We groan to be clothed upon, the Spirit groaning. Oh, when you look and see all the pain around about, all the conglomeration, stink, sin, mortal living, and deceit, I think, "Oh, God, how much longer will it be?” 54-0103 10/15/14 The Feasts 3 26 II CORINTHIANS 5:1-6 1 For we know that if our earthly house of this tabernacle were dissolved, we have a building of God, an house not made with hands, eternal in the heavens. 2 For in this we groan, earnestly desiring to be clothed upon with our house which is from heaven: 3 If so be that being clothed we shall not be found naked. 4 For we that are in this tabernacle do groan, being burdened: not for that we would be unclothed, but clothed upon, that mortality might be swallowed up of life. 5 Now he that hath wrought us for the selfsame thing is God, who also hath given unto us the earnest of the Spirit. 6 Therefore we are always confident, knowing that, whilst we are at home in the body, we are absent from the Lord: 10/15/14 The Feasts 3 27 II CORINTHIANS 5:1-6 1 For we know that if our earthly house [Subject to death] of this tabernacle were dissolved, we have a building of God, an house not made with hands, eternal [without beginning and end, that which always has been and always will be] in the heavens. 2 For in this we groan, earnestly desiring to be clothed upon [put on over] with our house which is from heaven: 3 If so be that being clothed we shall not be found naked. [the soul, whose garment is the body, stripped of the body, without a body] 4 For we that are in this tabernacle do groan, [sigh with grief] being burdened: not for that we would be unclothed, but clothed upon, that mortality might be swallowed up of life. 5 Now he that hath wrought us for the selfsame thing is God, who also hath given unto us the earnest of the Spirit. 6 Therefore we are always confident, knowing that, whilst we are at home in the body, we are absent from the Lord: 10/15/14 The Feasts 3 28 GOD'S.PROVIDED.PLACE.OF.WORSHIP 21 And the thankful part of it, dear friend, that the dear Lord Jesus... let me see that Land. Now, it wasn't a vision… Ever what it was, it was just as real as I'm speaking to you here. Now, I seen the faces of those people, and I couldn't recognize them, they had turned back young again. 22 And it helped me, because I used to have an idea: when a person died, just their soul went off. But then when He quoted that to me, that "If this earthly tabernacle of our habitation be... we already have one." 10/15/14 The Feasts 3 29 And we got to have everything in threes, to make a perfection. And there's one body here, then that body there which is the--the celestial body, and then the glorified body in the resurrection. See, that makes it complete. It's not a myth, it's not an idea, it's not a spirit. It is a man and a woman like you are, just exactly. 10/15/14 The Feasts 3 30 Dissolve: (Gr.) To dissolve, disunite (what has been joined together), to destroy, demolish. Metaph. to overthrow i.e. render vain, deprive of success, bring to naught; to subvert, overthrow: of institutions, forms of government, laws, etc., to deprive of force, annul, discard. Of travellers, to halt on a journey, to put up, lodge (the figurative expression to put up for the night, the straps and packs of the beasts of burden are unbound and taken off; or the traveller's garments, tied up when he is on the journey, are unloosed at it end.) MATTHEW 5:17 Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil. 10/15/14 The Feasts 3 31 MATTHEW 24:2 And Jesus said unto them, See ye not all these things? verily I say unto you, There shall not be left here one stone upon another, that shall not be thrown down. 10/15/14 The Feasts 3 32 THINGS.THAT.ARE.TO.BE 52 Now, the Bible said, "If this earthly tabernacle of our dwelling, if it perish, be dissolved, we have one already waiting.” Now, just as this baby is being born, then the spiritual body is there to receive it. And now, when this body is dropped here, in this earth, like the baby is dropped, also there is a immortal body waiting to receive the spirit back into itself again. Oh, what a great thing! We are now in Christ Jesus, (amen), babes in Christ, children of God, waiting for the full deliverance, at the Coming of our Lord Jesus, to receive us up unto Hisself, when the body, this mortal, will take on immortality. 10/15/14 The Feasts 3 33 53 The likeness, all the things that He did, expresses the things that are to come. Just as the body gives you here, just as this body, He gave you to live in, only expresses that there is one that is greater, yet, to come. "If we bear, or have borne the image of the earthly, we also shall bear the image of the Heavenly," which holds no evils in this one that is to come. Now, this one does hold evil, sickness, death, sorrow. I've just expressed here, not long ago, preaching on The Transformation Of The Word Of God, of how this body, it's got the evil in it. 54 And all this modern civilization that we live in is of the Devil. You don't believe that? The Bible says it is; this world, every government… 65-1205 10/15/14 The Feasts 3 34 115 Oh, little children, do you feel the need of that vitamin tonight, that something? There's a body waiting yonder… waiting to be received. People, don't be deceived. The Devil is a deceiver. Even the wedding garment, you must wear It. It must be. 116 Now we're at the evening time. The earthly body is now ready to be dissolved, and we're preparing to enter into the Heavenly. And we now feel the strange call, of God, to go to this great Eden. And before we can be born here, our little bodies cried for something that had to be provided, or we'd be an afflicted child here if we wasn't. God has no afflictions up there. They're, every one, perfectly lined up, the Bride just exactly like the Groom was, the Word manifested in Its season. 65-1205 10/15/14 The Feasts 3 35 City of Houston Demands Pastors Turn Over Sermons By Todd Starnes/FOX News The city of Houston has issued subpoenas demanding a group of pastors turn over any sermons dealing with homosexuality, gender identity or Annise Parker, the city’s first openly lesbian mayor. And those ministers who fail to comply could be held in contempt of court. “The city’s subpoena of sermons and other pastoral communications is both needless and unprecedented,” Alliance Defending Freedom attorney Christina Holcomb said in a statement. “The city council and its attorneys are engaging in an inquisition designed to stifle any critique of its actions...” We can no longer remain silent. We must stand together – because one day – the government might come for your pastor. 10/15/14 The Feasts 3 36 WHO.IS.THIS.MELCHISEDEC 88 Then, after you recognized the very Word of God was Eagle Food, then you left the other thing. You have then been formed into the living image of the living God. You heard from your theophany. "If this earthly body be dissolved, we have one waiting." You say, "Is that right, Brother Branham?” All right, let's take a couple of eagles and look at them for a few minutes. There was a man named Moses… There was another man, a eagle, didn't even have to die. He just walked across Jordan, and God sent a chariot down; and this robe of flesh he dropped, and rise and caught the everlasting prize. 10/15/14 The Feasts 3 37 Eight hundred years later, on Mount Transfiguration, here stood those two man. Moses' body had been rotten for hundreds of years, but here he was in such a form till even Peter, James, and John recognized him. Amen! "If this earthly tabernacle be dissolved," if you're an attribute of God expressed here on earth, "you've got a body waiting after you leave this world." 65-0221 10/15/14 The Feasts 3 38 WHO.IS.THIS.MELCHISEDEC 78 Then, when a man is born again, from Heaven, he becomes a spirit babe in Christ. And, when this robe of flesh is dropped, there is a natural body, theophany, a body not made with hands, neither born of a woman, that we go to. Then that body returns back and picks up the glorified body. That's the reason Jesus went to hell when He died, and preached to the souls that were in prison; turned back into that theophany. Oh, marvelous! 79 II Cor. 5:1, "If this earthly body be dissolved, this earthly tabernacle, we have another one." See, we have by-passed that, to come straight from God, the attribute; to be flesh, to be tempted and tested by sin, like Adam did. 65-0221 10/15/14 The Feasts 3 39 But when testing of His Word is over, then we are taken up to this body that was prepared for us before the foundation of the world. It is the Word there that we skipped, to come right around, down here to be tempted and tested. If we'd have come through that, there'd have been no temptation; we'd a-knowed all things. That's the reason Jesus knowed all things, 'cause He was Word before He was flesh. Then we become the Word. 80 Here we are formed to the Word image, to be a partaker of the Word, by being predestinated since the beginning; you see that little spark of Life that you had in you from the beginning, when you started your journey. Many of you can remember it. You joined this church and joined that church; nothing satisfied. But one day you just recognized It.The Feasts 3 10/15/14 40
