THE FESTIVAL OF BOOTHS (TABERNACLES)
WHERE SPIRIT SACRIFICES ARE OFFERED.

At the festivals of booths, people will be taught the laws of the Spirit of God. By means of ministers of God, The Christ Michael will put the Spirit laws of the "new covenant" into the minds and hearts of His people, so that He cares for them. (Heb 8:10. Zech 14:16-21) (Heb 8:1,2. 9:9-12). We will also learn how our consciences will be cleansed of dead works, in order to be called to an everlasting inheritance. (Heb 9:14,15).

THE "TENT OF TESTIMONY". (Rev 15:5 NEB).
The opening of the "Tent of Testimony" in heaven signalled the time for the manifestation of the judicial decisions of God concerning mankind. These judgements, followed by the "bowls" of His wrath, reveal whether an individual chooses to belong to the "harvest" of The Christ Michael, or chooses to belong to the "vine of the earth" under the adverse judgement of God. (Rev 14:14-20. 15:5-8 NEB). The written testimony of the "Little Scroll" reveals the spirit aspect of mankind during the outpouring of the "bowls" of the wrath of God.

TESTIMONY: To test or prove by evidence. Personal or documentary
evidence or attestation in support of a fact or statement.

The spirit waywardness and backwardness of each nation as they war against a life of peace and harmony, is known by God and His servants. Offering up spirit sacrifices to God, and discontinuing demonic activities that bar the way making for peace, will remove the curse of the tyrant and the scourge of God, and will make for a land flowing with "milk and honey" with a blessing from God of peace and prosperity. (Zech 14:12,18).

Nations who ignore the decree of Jehovah to gather to worship Him in prayer and praise of His Name at the festivals of booths from year to year, in summer and winter (all year round), will receive no "pouring rain" (blessings), but will instead have His continuing wrath inflicted upon them. (Zech 14:16-19). For many years people have been worshipping at tabernacles of their own making, along with continuing spirit rebellion against God, promoting "lofty things raised up against the knowledge of God". (2 Cor 10:4,5). These are the "harlot daughters" (sectarian religions) originating from the spiritistic teachings of their "mother" "Babylon the great", and judged within the "Tent of Testimony".

The complexities that make up the sins of each nation, leading to their being thrown into great turmoil during the fear-inspiring Day of Jehovah, are troubles too great to be unravelled by mere humans. But we can escape from these troubles through our spirit sacrifices to God, as instructed at the festivals of booths (tabernacles). The opportunity for salvation has been extended beyond giving glory to God through the exercise of faith, to that of giving glory to God out of fear, as one witnesses fear-inspiring calamities from God taking place on earth as prophesied. (Rev 11:13) (Rev 16:17-21). Better to give glory to God through one's faith in His written Word, than to wait until one must give glory to God out of fear of His wrath for having refused to acknowledge and worship Him at the festivals of booths administered by His anointed heavenly priesthood.

PRAISING THE NAME OF GOD.
A spiritually unclean person does not have a good conscience with which to approach God and worship him. Consequently, festivals of booths are for those remaining over who once warred against spiritual "Jerusalem", but who are now learning how to make their appeal to God. (Zech 14:12 NEB. 1 Peter 3:21). Taught ones are those with a clean conscience who have made necessary spirit adjustments in their lives by their accurate knowledge of His Word, and have an earnest desire to serve the Will of God. Their praises and prayers to God are then blessed.
