Tues.’s Devo - The Feasts and the Sign of the Son of Man

Read: Exodus 23:14-25:40; Matthew 24:29-51; Psalm 30:1-12; Proverbs 7:24-27 God gave them instructions for observing his feasts. There would be three major times to present themselves before the Lord and they would be at the three major feasts: The Feast of Unleavened Bread in the spring, the Feast of Harvest which was 50 days after Passover and the Feast of Ingathering at the end of the year. *** Over and over in the law it says not to boil a young goat in its mother’s milk. Since all the laws have a spiritual application I wonder if it doesn’t mean that the sins of the mother can not be passed on to her posterity in death if the person is young. In Passover, they were to take a young lamb and cook it over fire to burn out all the impurities in it. Boiling meat fills the meat with the substance it is being boiled in. (Just my thoughts.) *** God promised to send an angel to take them into the promised land. They were to protect and regard what he told them to do and not to provoke him. He would go before them and bring them to the land of the “ites” and God would cut them off. *** They were not to bow down to their enemies’ gods but overthrow them and break down their sacred pillars. If they would faithfully serve the Lord, he would bless their bread and water. He would take sickness away from them. No one would suffer miscarriage or be barren in the land and they would live out all their days. *** God would send fear, confusion and hornets to drive out their enemies little by little so they could slowly occupy the land. *** Moses told the people all God had said to him and they agreed to do what the Lord had said. Moses wrote all the words of the Lord down then he built an altar and built 12 pillars to represent each tribe. He offered the sacrifices and sprinkled the blood on the altar. He read the Book of the Covenant to the people again and they agreed to do it. *** Then Moses took Aaron, his two sons and seventy of the elders and they saw the Lord in his glory. They all ate before the Lord’s presence. God called Moses up on the mountains to give him tablets of stone with the law and commandments he had written for the people. He was there for 40 days and nights. *** During those days and nights, God spoke to Moses about the offerings he wanted of all who willed to give. It was all the materials they would need to build the tabernacle from metals to cloth to precious stones. Then he gave him the blueprints of the furniture that would be in the Tabernacle: the Ark of the Testimony with the gold cherubim on top. The top of the ark would have a lid called the Mercy Seat and the angels would spread their wings over it. This is what we refer to as the Ark of the Covenant. *** The table of Showbread would be where the priests would eat the unleavened bread. The Menorah would be a light in the Holy Place. *** All of the furniture inside the Tabernacle was to be made of wood and covered with gold except the Menorah that would be made of beaten gold. *** In Matthew, yesterday we heard Jesus’ answer to the end of the age. Today we will read what he said the sign of his coming would be. After the tribulation the sun will be darkened and the moon will not shine. The ones in power over the earth (the stars) will fall and the powers of heaven would also be shaken. Then the sign of the Son of Man will appear in the heaven. *** This sign began on November 9, 2016. Jupiter entered Virgos’ womb to begin the sign of the Son of man. That was the day that Donald Trump was elected President of the United States. From that day we have seen the sun darkened as all hell broke out. Stars have fallen as their sins have been exposed and the elect are being gathered as one all over the planet. *** Jesus said that when we see these signs taking place we know that the time is near and this generation will not pass away until all the things God has promised will take place. How exciting is that?!!! *** It will be like the days of Noah when people are oblivious to the times they are in. They will be taken from this world with no warning. But, blessed will be the man who is faithfully ruling his household in godliness. God will be pleased with him. God warns us not to get weary in doing good because our reward will surely come. *** Lord, may we not get weary in the wait because you will fulfill every word in your book.
