I almost didn’t comment on the MSNBC story “Official in interracial couple flap under fire”. After all, haven’t most of us moved beyond the whole antiquated notion that interracial marriage is a sin? If you think so, then you would be wrong. No, it appears that David Ben-Ariel wrote about…
It is a regular habit in our family to pray for peace and safety during our journey to and from the Feast as well as protection during it. You know what? We should be praying for that continually. Each week is a weekly feast called the Sabbath. We need to…
There are some very specific items I could take from the Feast, but I recently noticed that there are also some general items that all can learn from, no matter what Feast site they were with this year. There is a long dry spell between the Last Great Day and…
One of the Feast of Tabernacles messages I heard this year was about the symbolism of trees in Scripture. Of course, those of us over a certain age probably remember a white-haired man talking about the two trees in the Garden of Eden. There are other trees in Scripture, though,…
I really liked the Raiders of the Lost Ark movie. It had some pretty neat special effects. However, do you realize that what they were looking for was not the real ark? No, it was a shadow of the real one! 1Now of the things which we have spoken this…

[Note: This was originally published on the old blog last year after the Feast. However, one year hasn’t made it seem stale.] And grieve not the holy Spirit of God, whereby ye are sealed unto the day of redemption. ~ Eph 4:30 You know, there just are some Scriptures that…
I am actually writing this ahead of time, but I want this to be a pointer back to the Feast of Tabernacles 2009 to help me to remember various aspects of it. I hope that this will jog my memory from time to time as I try to answer these…
“Shemini Atzeret” literally means “the 8th day of Assembly”. Sometimes it is called the 8th day of the Feast or the 8th day of Sukkot (Succoth), but it is actually a separate festival, as the Feast of Tabernacles is only 7 days (Lev 23:34). We saw before that 7 plays…
Hopefully, you are being fed good food during the Feast, both physically and spiritually. As the Feast winds down, I hope you have re-grasped the wonderful vision of what the world will be like under Christ’s rule. Have you ever considered why a thousand years? Why not a hundred? You…
