THE ORDER OF THINGS DURING THE
"DAY OF JEHOVAH". (Zech 14:16-18).

AFTER THE CALAMITY, WHAT OF THE REMAINING ONES?
Ethiopia has been suffering the "four families" of destruction commissioned by God. (Jer 15:2-4).  Concerning those remaining it is written: "And it must occur [that], as regards everyone who is left remaining out of all the nations that are coming against Jerusalem, they must also go up from year to year to bow down to the King, Jehovah of armies, and to celebrate the festival of the booths. And it must occur that, as regards anyone that does not come up out of the families of the earth to Jerusalem to bow down to the King, Jehovah of armies, even upon them no pouring rain will occur." (14:16,17).

These words from our God instruct remaining ones from every nation and family after the calamity to come up to the new "Jerusalem" to bow to the King, Jehovah of armies. If they refuse, no "pouring rain" upon them will occur. This will be the punishment for their sin. Deaths resulting from the "four families" of destruction (which currently are active in Ethiopia) will continue until they obey the arrangements of the festivals of booths. These festivals are organised assemblies for worshipping Jehovah God in spirit and truth, to hear and obey His Holy instruction for their salvation.

To date, the only known gathering of Ethiopians has been of those transferred via Sudan to Ashkelon; travelling thence to Jerusalem to worship the 'wailing wall'. These are not the spiritual "Jews" of Zechariah 8:23 (see Rom 2:28,29), for it is evident by such deeds that they are not preparing themselves for gathering to worship in spirit by means of The Christ and the heavenly "Jerusalem above". (Gal 4:25-29. Heb 12:22-24).

The international will of the "false prophet" and the political "image of the wild beast" is merely to fulfil the physical needs of Ethiopians, whereas the Will of our Lifegiver is to save everyone that survives the scourge upon those warring against the authority of heavenly "Jerusalem". For it is the Will of God that all those remaining of the nations gain everlasting life by spirit sacrifices and knowledge gained at these coming festivals.

FESTIVALS OF BOOTHS:
TO TAKE PLACE AFTER PROPHESIED EVENTS.
Interesting is the fact that these life-giving festivals will only commence when the following prophesied events of God have taken place:

(1) The work of the "locusts" within His "land" has run its course. (Joel 1:4-7. Rev 9:3,4).

(2) When the outpouring of His Spirit upon sons of Zion has taken place,
      making known His Will to them in dreams and visions. (Joel 2:28. Job 33:15-17).

(3) Nations specified by His Word (e.g. Ethiopia and Egypt) are first subjected to His scourging
     before the rest of the nations. (12:9) (Rev 16:19). These festivals are primarily for those left
     remaining of each nation that "warred" against heavenly "Jerusalem". (14:12.  14:16,17).

(4) The Spirit of The Lord's Judgement has been poured out upon the nations on account
      of "the violence to the sons of Judah" (Joel 3:19), and which includes our Lord Jesus.
      (14:12. 12:10-14). The "festivals of booths" are for those remaining after scourging
      for having warred against spirit "sons of Judah" and heavenly "Jerusalem".
