THE HEAVENLY SANCTUARY OF GOD IS CLOSED
UNTIL THE SEVEN "PLAGUES" ARE FINISHED.

"And no one was able to enter into the sanctuary until the
seven plagues of the seven angels were finished." (Rev 15:8).

FESTIVALS OF TABERNACLES FOR SPIRITUAL THINGS WHEN?
These spiritual festivals will not begin until the last of the "plagues" referred to in Revelation chapter 15:1 and described in chapter 16:1-21 are completed. The last of which is written: "And the seventh one poured out his bowl upon the air." (16:17). After their completion, Almighty God will begin His rule. (11:15-18). Then the sanctuary in heaven will be opened. (11:19).

While much concern has been expressed among the nations about global warming and its impact on world climate, the outpouring of the wrath of God "upon the air" is yet to take place. After the seven "plagues" from the seven "bowls" of the wrath of God have been poured out, then the heavenly sanctuary of God will be opened, and the opportunity for salvation will return for mankind. It is in this way that the "ark of His covenant" will be "seen", in that people of all nations will have the opportunity to give glory to God out of fear as they witness fear-inspiring calamities from God taking place on earth as He prophesied. (11:13,19. 16:17-21).

When the seven "plagues" of the wrath of God have come to their finish, Almighty God will begin His rule as prophesied, and preparations can begin for the celebration of the festivals of booths (tabernacles). (Zech 14:16-21). The physical requirements, and the spiritual requirements and purpose, have already been written down and are part of the "Little Scroll" of Revelation 10:1-11 in which it is commanded: "You must prophesy again with regard to peoples and nations and tongues and many kings." (Rev 10:11).
