“1Now I saw a new heaven and a new earth, for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away. Also there was no more sea. 2Then I, [a]John, saw the holy city, New Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband. 3And I heard a loud voice from heaven saying, “Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and He will dwell with them, and they shall be His people. God Himself will be with them and be their God. 4And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes; there shall be no more death, nor sorrow, nor crying. There shall be no more pain, for the former things have passed away.”5Then He who sat on the throne said, “Behold, I make all things new.” And He said [b]to me, “Write, for these words are true and faithful.”6And He said to me, “It[c] is done! I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End. I will give of the fountain of the water of life freely to him who thirsts. 7He who overcomes [d]shall inherit all things, and I will be his God and he shall be My son.” (Revelation 21)

Today is the 8^th day of God’s holy day of Tabernacles. In Scripture it is referred to as the day of a “solemn assembly” (Leviticus 23). This is the only one of God’s holidays that has an 8^th day, which of course stands out because there are not eight days in the week. This is indeed significant and not to be overlooked.

It is my theory (after all, no one really knows) that this 8^th day follows the Millennial reign of Christ. Thus, upon Jesus’ Second Coming when His garments are dipped in blood and Satan is thrown into prison (Revelation 20), He fulfills Tabernacles by dwelling among us physically as well as ruling and reigning. But, the 8^th day of Tabernacles will not yet be fulfilled. That is a special day, a separate day. The “solemn” day of assembly will likely come in Revelation 21 when the New Heavens and the New Earth will appear, and the Holy City the New Jerusalem shall descend out of heaven. Revelation 21 states in verse 3 and 5a, “And I heard a great voice out of heaven saying, Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and he will dwell with them, and they shall be his people, and god himself shall be with them, and be their God…And he that sat upon the throne said, Behold, I make all things new.”

Even as we can equate the fulfillment of Tabernacles as being Christ’s soon coming Millennial reign, the 8^th day of Tabernacles will be fulfilled at the end of the Millennium when all is made new and God will dwell with us forever. In other words, the 8^th day is the new beginning of forever, an eternity that we know nothing about except that it is spent in the presence of the Most High in perfect majesty and holiness and is unending. Oh what a day, glorious day that will be!

How incredible! May this blow your mind today and fill you with hope and joyful expectation!

“13You have a mighty arm;
Strong is Your hand, and high is Your right hand.
14Righteousness and justice are the foundation of Your throne;
Mercy and truth go before Your face.
15Blessed are the people who know the joyful sound!
They walk, O Lord, in the light of Your countenance.
16In Your name they rejoice all day long,
And in Your righteousness they are exalted.
17For You are the glory of their strength,
And in Your favor our [c]horn is exalted.
18For our shield belongs to the Lord,
And our king to the Holy One of Israel.” (Psalm 89:13-18)

Incredibly we are in the days of the “counting of the omer” on God’s biblical calendar. The counting of the omer begins on Resurrection Sunday and counts up to the number 50, thus landing on Pentecost. It was in that time that Jesus appeared unto many of His disciples and revealed the Scripture to them and how He as the Word had fulfilled the word. They were often behind closed doors, hiding for fear of the Jews, and it was during that time of “self-isolation” that Jesus visited them. Then on day 40, Jesus ascended. For 10 days the disciples closed themselves completely away and gathered together in prayer, set their affairs in order and sought God’s face. They knew that Pentecost was coming, and that something special was just around the corner.

We are in those days right now. We too are in self-isolation. We too are behind closed doors. We too are to be reading God’s word, seeking His face, and be agreeing in prayer with one another for Pentecost that is soon to come. We are in the counting up of the omer. We are on day 5 today with 45 more to go. In spite of the Enemy’s plans, we are called to remember that something good is about to happen. It is imperative that we seriously humble ourselves before our great God and Savior, and prepare our hearts before Him, for He is coming SOON.

It is interesting to note that once the Jewish bride’s dress was made, she always slept in it, for she never knew exactly when her Bridegroom might appear suddenly. She would know the signs of his return to her, but not the when. So, even when she went to bed at night, she would be ready. Thus, Paul writes in Ephesians 5, that we are to be without spot and without wrinkle. Since the Bride always wore her dress, it was important that she keep it clean and wrinkle free. She did not want to look unkempt when her bridegroom arrived! Even so, we as the Bride of Christ must keep our spiritual dress white and wrinkle free, as we eagerly anticipate the coming of our Bridegroom!And the way we do this is via the washing of the Word!

God is calling us to repentance and preparation as the Church, to use this time of quarantine and isolation as a time to seek God’s face, to read God’s word, to get our hearts right before Him; the time is NOW!

Be blessed as you view the video links below. God is moving around the world. Time now for Americans/Canadians to not “protest” but pray in the streets like these!!! Time to rend our hearts and not our garments, to blow the trumpet in Zion, to sound the alarm in God’s holy mountain, to assemble ourselves in prayer (Joel 2). Time to get ready, for even as the Enemy is setting in place his new world order, one world economy, globalist system, with military strategically being placed around the country, and the mark of the beast waiting in the wings, Jesus is calling His people to repent and be prepared for His soon return!! Come Quickly LORD Jesus!!!!! The Spirit and the Bride say COME!!!!
