A Sad Feast Of Tabernacles.

The annual Feast of Tabernacles was just over. Since my conversion over twenty years ago, these last three years of keeping this Feast have been the saddest.


And the word of the Lord came to me, saying, “Son of man, prophesy against the shepherds of Israel, prophesy and say to them, ‘Thus says the Lord God to the shepherds: “Woe to the shepherds of Israel who feed themselves! Should not the shepherds feed the flocks? You eat the fat and clothe yourselves with the wool; you slaughter the fatlings, but you do not feed the flock. The weak you have not strengthened, nor have you healed those who were sick, nor bound up the broken, nor brought back what was driven away, nor sought what was lost; but with force and cruelty you have ruled them. So they were scattered because there was no shepherd; and they became food for all the beasts of the field when they were scattered. My sheep wandered through all the mountains, and on every high hill; yes, My flock was scattered over the whole face of the earth, and no one was seeking or searching for them.”
Ezekiel 34:1 – 6 ⁣

‘And as for you, O My flock, thus says the Lord God: “Behold, I shall judge between sheep and sheep, between rams and goats. Is it too little for you to have eaten up the good pasture, that you must tread down with your feet the residue of your pasture—and to have drunk of the clear waters, that you must foul the residue with your feet? And as for My flock, they eat what you have trampled with your feet, and they drink what you have fouled with your feet.”
‘Therefore thus says the Lord God to them: “Behold, I Myself will judge between the fat and the lean sheep.
Ezekiel 34:17 – 20

The people of GOD are scattered (Ezekiel 34:1 – 6). The leaders and the lay members () alike are mostly pursuing their personal lives' agenda rather than seeking the will and righteousness of GOD. In a world of great material abundance (in the well off and not so well off nations) with the pervasiveness of all kinds of sensual indulgence and a social order that glorify the self identity, it is not strange that this is probably the greatest time of trial and testing for the Saints of GOD.

Self glorification was the main sin of the Antediluvian Age just before GOD destroyed it. And today it is no different. At no time prior to these last twenty years (as of this writing in 2010 C.E.) have mankind placed more emphasis and focus on themselves, glorifying in their personal abilities and achievements, than at any time since after the flood of Noah wiped out the Antediluvian world.

For proof of what I stated above about the sins of the Antediluvian age read the full discourse of the Genesis chapter of Bible 101 The Holy Bible Expounded by this author.
