Sabbath 22/7/32/120

Dear Friends,

This is the Sabbath and the Last Great Day of the Feast. Tomorrow we begin the trek home from the Feast and commence the work of God in the build-up to Passover of the 33rd year of the 120th Jubilee.

We hope that each of us has had a wonderful and uplifting time at the Feast. We hope that those of you that are new to the faith have all been given a sound basis on which to grow in the work of God. Those that are not new hopefully met old friends and shared fond memories. Those that are new will make lifelong friends in the faith.

Do not be afraid to learn and work hard in educating yourselves and your families.

Help us to spread the word of God so that all may have the opportunity of salvation in the Last Days and as many as possible are called to the First Resurrection. Your calling is to assist in making the gifts of God available to those He has predestined to be chosen and called and justified and then glorified (Rom. 8:29-30). There are thousands of you at this Feast that are here because of the labour of love in the faith that your brethren have made in sacrifice so that you could be called.

Each one of us was able to be called by the power of the Holy Spirit working with us through the labour of those that came before us. In the same way you are able to help those that are called after us.

This Feast of Booths was a great witness to other people all over the world and they will see by your example the gifts and the calling of God. God works in mysterious ways and who knows if you are to be the means by which another is called to serve God. This Last Great Day pictures the Final Resurrection of the dead and the Great White Throne Judgment that you will all be part of at the end of the Millennium and prior to the arrival of the City of God (see the papers The Resurrection of the Dead (No. 143) and The City of God (No. 180)).

From this Feast you will all commence to be put together in the body of Christ as it was intended you should be in the millennial system, and under David in Israel. From this next month on you will be placed in the tens and fifties and hundreds and thousands and divisions and the groups that the Bible says is the way the Israel of God should be organised. God does nothing except He reveals it through His servants the Prophets, which today is the Church of God. We are now in the situation where we have the numbers and strength and the Holy Spirit has made us aware that this is the next phase of our development.

You will all have three new papers from this Feast and they will be or already have been translated into your own language. Some of you will be doing the translations. In this way you help the faith.

May the Lord bless and keep you and give you safe travel.
