Imagine this futuristic scene…
To families in nations in the first holy land invasion,
As part of your sin-renunciation,
I command yearly representation,
In My Feast of Tabernacles throughout this dispensation!
Signed: King Jesus 1
Imagine… Jesus, The Lord, issuing this command,
Early in His sovereign reign as Earth’s global King.
But wait…
Isn’t The Feast of Tabernacles …a Jewish thing?!
So why invite foreign enemies to their homeland?!
Ahhhh, therein lies the Grace of Him Who all Earth will rule,
With a ‘rod of iron’, ensuring righteousness,
Among folks who acted in gross haughtiness,
Following all the dictates of the anti-Christ fool! 2
With the anti-Christ cast into the lake of fire, good riddance,
And the holy land invasions he launched, then over,
The Lord ‘has a beef’ with five first nations invaders.
Thus, He’ll seek to destroy them, leaving only ...small remnants. 3
In all of His judgments against our gross sinfulness,
He’s left a remnant that is, or should be repentant,
And on obedience, their lives are then dependent.
But watch out if they act in ways that are …specious! 4
Thus, to each remnant family of these nations, five,
The Lord will issue this command in Grace, with a caveat:
Attend My Feast, or there will be no rain on your habitat!
Their choice: Attend His annual feasts, or with droughts strive. 5
But wait…
The overarching purpose of His feast festivals,
Is to worship and give praise to Him, The Lord God and Provider.
As global King, He’ll be …The Judge, Jury and Executioner!
So why invite to this one feast …Israel’s rivals?? 6
Imagine…
Jews, Iranians, Ethiopians, Libyans and others,
Annually flocking to Jerusalem!
All in support of global monarchism!!
Together worshiping Jesus as God, with no mockers!!!
Now ain’t that a flip, compared to all the animosities,
Reported between these groups in our day!
‘Lord, please hasten this scene,’ is what I pray,
‘And put an end to nations’ mutual insecurities!’
If like me, you’re prepared for, and anticipate Christ’s reign,
Please join me in praying for God, The Father, to say:
‘It’s time, Son. Go down and start Your Millennial Day!’
Until then, with their insecurities, nations will strain!
If only knowing God’s predicted future scene,
Would from devilish conflicts today’s nations wean…

1 The Bible predicts two major attacks in Israel during the 4th age of human history, the tribulation age, the first involving 5 nations, and the second involving all nations with standing armies at the end of that age. See: Revelation - Future Attacks in Israel.
2 The anti-Christ will be a son of satan who, through intrigue, will seize global authority, including over national militaries that will still exist during the mayhem of the tribulation plagues. See: Ezekiel 38, 39, 1 John 2:18, 22, and Revelation 19:19 - 21. See: A People Un-walled (Series), Dear Pre-Armageddon Soldier (Poem), Tribulation Age Journalists (Series), Revelation - Future Attacks in Israel, and Booty, Pre/Post Millennial Reign (Series). For even deeper study and meditation, see: The Seat of Wickedness (Series).
3 Per Revelation 19, the anti-Christ man and his prophet/prime minister, will likely be the first ever eternally ALIVE residents in the lake of fire that burns with brimstone, likely somewhere on the new, eternal Earth The Lord promised to create, per Isaiah 65:17 and 66: 22. Zechariah 12:9 affirms The Lord’s complaint, strategically referring to nations listed in Ezekiel 38:5 - 6. To have a beef with is an idiom that means having a strong complaint about. For deeper study and meditation, see: The Lake of Fire: A Preview (Series) and also Earth’s Next Versions (Series).
4 Specious - having a false look of truth or genuineness, unauthentic, deceptive
5 The Lord ordained 7 feasts for the nation of Israel: The Passover, The Feast of Unleavened Bread, The Feast of First-fruits, The Feast of Weeks, The Feast of Trumpets, The Day of Atonement and The Feast of Tabernacles or Booths. The Feast of Tabernacle is one of the three pilgrimage festivals, requiring Jews to travel to Jerusalem. It commemorates the ancient nation’s 40 years of wilderness wanderings with Moses, as well as the completion of the harvest or agricultural year.
Question: During The Millennial Reign of Christ, why do you think this particular feast will include representatives from families in nations that attacked Israel in the war of Ezekiel 38, and the Armageddon war?? Please leave your comments below, or send them via e-mail.
6 The Bible does not specifically explain the relationships between the wars mentioned in Ezekiel 38, Zechariah 14, and Revelation 19. On one hand, context of Ezekiel 38 is a rather narrowly defined invasion by 5 nations, to which some other nations will mildly object, but will not be able to rise to Israel’s defense. Ezekiel 38:5 - 6 identify the invading nations as: Persia (Iran), Ethiopia, and Libya, Gomer, and Togarmah with its many people from the far north [of Israel]. There is considerable speculation about the last two nations. However, the reference to one being in the far north [of Israel] significantly limits the geographic focus. Consult your map, and see the link above to The Seat of Wickedness series. The latter two nations are referenced as having ‘all their troops’ in this war, possibly signifying nations with a huge military. On the other hand, the much broader contexts of Zechariah 14 and Revelation 19, are about how Jesus will end Armageddon, perhaps a global response to His glorious, physical invasion of Earth, with ALL His saints from the first 4 ages of history, and ALL His angels. (Heaven emptied??). He will initiate His reign as global monarch after Armageddon. Ezekiel 39 clearly indicates there is a rather close relationship between these likely separate wars. Verses 21-29 of that chapter segue to the first few months of The Millennial Reign, as do Zechariah 14 and Revelation 19.
