The Eighth Day

The Eighth Day

Almighty God certainly can and does heal.  Why does He not do so instantly on all occasions? 

ONE:  Because He is the Master Potter and we are the clay. God often uses adversity including health issues to help in moulding us into the persons He wants us to be.

TWO:  Sometimes, as with Job; God uses health as a means of teaching and correction.

THREE:  Sometimes we fail to demonstrate our faith by our works. We stray far from God and fail to zealously keep His commandments.  We allow sin to separate us from our God; preventing His intercession.

Healing is a complicated issue, for which there are many different answers.  Health problems may be very different in different people, and the purpose of God in allowing these problems may be very different for different people as well.

The important thing is to love God and keep His commandments regardless of our physical problems.  If He doesn't take care of them now; you can rest assured that He will do so in the resurrection; for all those who LOVE HIM AND KEEP ALL OF HIS COMMANDMENTS.

REVELATION 22:1
: And he shewed me a pure river of water of life, clear as crystal, proceeding out of the throne of God and of the Lamb.
2: In the midst of the street of it, and on either side of the river, was there the tree of life, which bare twelve manner of fruits, and yielded her fruit every month: and the leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations.
3: And there shall be no more curse: but the throne of God and of the Lamb shall be in it; and his servants shall serve him:
4: And they shall see his face; and his name shall be in their foreheads (minds).
5: And there shall be no night there; and they need no candle, neither light of the sun; for the Lord God giveth them light: and they shall reign for ever and ever.
6: And he said unto me, These sayings are faithful and true: and the Lord God of the holy prophets sent his angel to shew unto his servants the things which must shortly be done.
7: Behold, I come quickly: blessed is he that keepeth the sayings of the prophecy of this book.

After ALL MANKIND has been brought into the Family of God during the Feast of Tabernacles.  The earth will be cleansed and the New Jerusalem will descend from Heaven.  The Father Himself shall dwell on the earth with His children.  His children shall be healed and given eternal life. 

The Eighth Day pictures man and God going forward into eternity.  In peace and harmony, KNOWING the way to peace and LIVING that way.  All pain, suffering and disease shall be vanquished by a LOVING FATHER.  Even death itself, shall be destroyed!!!

REVELATION 20:14: And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death.
15: And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire.

REVELATION 21:1: And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away; and there was no more sea.
2: And I John saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband.
3: 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.
4: And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away.
5: And he that sat upon the throne said, Behold, I make all things new. And he said unto me, Write: for these words are true and faithful.
6: And he said unto me, It is done. I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end. I will give unto him that is athirst of the fountain of the water of life freely.
7: He that overcometh shall inherit all things; and I will be his God, and he shall be my son.

The Promise of our Father in heaven CANNOT BE BROKEN; therefore let us strive diligently to serve our Magnificent Father on high!!! 

Thy Will Be Done!!!

THE Eighth DAY

In the seventh  day, that Great Day of the Feast of Tabernacles,called "Hoshanna Rabbath"  "The Great Salvation" Jesus stood and cried, saying. If any man thirst, let him come unto me and drink. he that believeth on me, as the scripture hath said, out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water. But this he spake of the Spirit, which they that believe on Him should receive, Joh 7:37-39. He thus signified that during the Feast of the In-gathering of nations called tabernacles all men might come to him fulfilling the main harvest of humanity [as this was the main fall harvest of the land].
 
When this main harvest of humanity is completed at the end of Tabernacles, mankind now changed to spirit would then begin anew as spirit and in perfect unity anf harmony with God!
 
And he showed me a pure river of water of life, clear as crystal, proceeding out of the throne of God and of the Lamb, Rev 22:1.  This pure water is a symbol of the Holy Spirit of God, which will be given freely to all who ask; for all who keep the Commandments of God will have a right, to this gift, Rev 22:14.  Only they will have a right to enter the gates of the City.

Please see the Feast of Tabernacles material at this link; please also see the Spring Festivals, Fall Festivals and Biblical Calendar material which can be found at the categories by those names on the Blog's side bar.

Peter is inspired to catch a glimpse of what will happen at the end of the Harvest of Tabernacles, for he writes: the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with a fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up.  Seeing that all these things shall be dissolved, what manner of persons ought ye to be in all Holy conversation (conduct) and Godliness. Looking for and hasting unto the coming of the day of God (the Father), wherein the heavens being on fire shall be disolved, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat?  Nevertheless we, according to the promise, look for a NEW HEAVENS and a NEW EARTH, wherein dwelleth RIGHTEOUSNESS, 2 Pet 3:10-13. 

The Eighth Day is the first day after seven.  An eighth day ALWAYS pictures a New Beginning.  When God is finished with His plan for Physical Humanity, He will totally destroy the surface of the earth and cleanse it completely from all uncleaness and sin.  After this He will create a New Heavens and a New Earth, as Peter tells us. This New Heavens and New Earth are described in Revelation 21 and 22.  All unrepentant sinners (commandment breakers 1 Joh 3:4) will be destroyed along with this old earth.  Only the righteous will be allowed entry into the gates of the City. Only the righteous will have the right to partake of the water of life (the Holy Spirit of God) freely. 

The Eighth Day of the Feast: being the first day after a complete seven days; pictures a New Beginning for humanity.  All evil and wickedness destroyed.  All those who would make war, or bully, or attempt to dominate others; all those who live a self-centered existence, by stealing, lying, cheating or gratifying personal wants and ambitions to the detriment of others; will be destroyed; if they do not repent and change their behaviour

Those who ARE WILLING TO LISTEN TO THEIR FATHER AND THEIR HUSBAND, who are willing to submit to and obey the far greater wisdom of God, who are willing to live a life of love and concern for others; will be changed fully to Spirit and given Eternal Life.  They will have a right to drink of the Water of Life, to take of the Holy Spirit of God freely.  They will enter the gates of the New Jerusalem freely.

They will dwell on a New Earth with a New Heavens; going forward into Eternity in Peace and Harmony with Almighty God, and with each other.  That Great Day, the Eighth Day: pictures an eternity of Peace, Happiness, Harmony, and Satisfying Productivity; as part of a truly Loving, Supportive and Caring Family.  THE FAMILY OF GOD!

To the Groups making up the Church of God

The Eighth Day; which is the first day AFTER the Feast of Tabernacles:  Is a High Holy Day,  Lev 23:36.   It is a Holy Convocation. You shall do no servile work (work of any kind)  therein.

For generations now, The Church of God has made it a practice to hold services early, on the Eighth Day;  to facilitate the travel plans of their members.  People claiming to be converted Godly people:  have paid bills, packed belongings, cleaned their temporary dwellings and traveled on this High Holy Day.  And their ministers have encouraged this in word and deed.

FOR SHAME:  This is a DISGRACE and a blot on your garments.  The Eternal will not hold you guiltless for defiling His Holy Time.  Repent quickly and turn from this wickedness;  lest ye be corrected.

Church people even purchase goods and services on Sabbath and Holy Days, especially in restaurants.   For more about this evil please see our Sabbath page at ashininglight.info.
