1st Day of Fiesta of Tabernacles 2023
Our dwelling in tents during the Feast/Fiesta of Tabernacles represents temporary booths/tabernacles, dwelling places = temporary flesh, houses, homes, temporary everything.
Not to overly trust in the flesh and homes, cities, towns, nations, physical securities.
All of it will be taken away.
Matthew 6:19-34 Grass is here today, thrown into The Lake of Fire in the future.
People own too many things! The more you own, the more idols you have, and the more things that own you. And it’s evidence that you don’t correctly prioritize.
It’s better to live with as little as possible.
It’s a hard life to live when I get to only lick the spoon of the rich. Literally. Lick my landlord’s spoon and dream about able to buy and eat the same delicious applesauce, avocadoes, etc. It’s hard to watch everyone else buy what they want on a regular basis, like there’s no care at all, while I go without on a regular basis. But greater will be my final reward, because I go without year after year.
Matthew 7:24-27 Build house/security/hope/focus/heart on foundation/bedrock instead of sand.
Hebrews 11:8-13 Abraham looked forward to a city not built by human hands.
Hurricanes, tornadoes, earthquakes, war, famine, disease, can all penetrate strong buildings/houses/homes.
Jobs can be lost. Family and friends can betray you or die.
Peace and hope and future should really be based in Christ and in the future fullness of The Kingdom. Rather than temporary weak securities.
Not saying that you should completely do without any of the temporary securities, but rather to not have too much trust/focus/hope/dependence upon them. Because some day relatively soon, everything physical that gives you comfort will be gone.
Most people won’t even know the 1st step of survival. Many will totally panic. Chaos.
Revelation 21:1-5 I will tabernacle with you. No more temporary anything. Only eternity.
Divine miracle confirmation of sermon: Last night, Jesus gave this verse to brother Jared. 1 Timothy 6:6. He didn’t know anything about the topic/subject of today’s sermon. So I read verses 6-12 after Jared told me about receiving verse 6.
