“And in that day His feet will stand on the Mount of Olives, Which faces Jerusalem on the east. And the Mount of Olives shall be split in two, From east to west, Making a very large valley; Half of the mountain shall move toward the north And half of it toward the south.” Zechariah 14:4

One day this is going to happen and what a glorious day it will be! No matter what we see going on around us, our LORD is going to one day soon and very soon make all things right! So let us put all our hope in Him!

“And in that day it shall be – That living waters shall flow from Jerusalem, Half of them toward the eastern sea And half of them toward the western sea; In both summer and winter it shall occur.” Zechariah 14:8

Again the LORD is going to make all things right, all wrongs will be made right. So no matter how things may look, let us not get all caught in worry and stressing on things that really are out of our control! And know that the living LORD is in control!

“Peace I leave with you, My peace I give to you; not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.” John 14:27

“And it shall come to pass in that day, saith the LORD of hosts, that I will cut off the names of the idols out of the land, and they shall no more be remembered: and also I will cause the prophets and unclean spirit to pass out of the land.” Zechariah 13:2

One day all the things that distract us from the LORD will be cut off, put out, removed from our memory! We won’t have the demonic and evil deeds of man plaguing us any more also! This also includes our sins and evil deeds!

“As far as the east is from the west, so far hath He removed our transgressions from us.” Psalm 103:12

So as we look to that day when the LORD comes, we can rejoice in the fact that God is working in us and through us today! He has and does show great mercy towards us, because of His great love for us!

“For the LORD is our Judge, The LORD is our lawgiver, The LORD is our King; He will save us.” Isaiah 33:22

“Speak to the children of Israel, saying: ‘The fifteenth day of this seventh month shall be the Feast of Tabernacles for seven days to the LORD. On the first day there shall be a holy convocation. You shall do no customary work on it.” Leviticus 23:34-35

The Israelites were commanded to make booths, tents temporary dwelling places. To represent the tents or booths that the children of Israel dwelt in for forty years. For us what a great way to look at this world, it really is only temporary! We may live 70, 80, 90 years or even more! No matter what its still temporary!

“I am a stranger in the earth; Do not hide Your commandments from me.” Psalm 119:19

As believers we really are strangers in a strange Land (the world) and if we look around us it’s getting stranger! One of the traditions done on Feast of Tabernacles (Sukkot) is to build their booths to be a bit flimsy; not super stable! I like this because in many ways it represents us being flimsy; not super stable! The good news is the LORD is stable and rock solid! The Feast of Tabernacles should remind us of that this world is temporary and dwelling with the LORD is for eternity!

“Let not your heart be troubled; you believe in God, believe also in Me. In My Father’s house are many mansions; if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and receive you to Myself; that where I am, there you may be also.” John 14:1-4

When we look at the appointed times of the LORD found here in Leviticus 23, we can see so much of His heart for us, that gives us the hope of heaven! Remember this world is temporary and heaven is for eternity! So let us live for the LORD who is steadfast and strong, not like us who are flimsy! Have a blessed day!

“Behold, I will make Jerusalem a cup of drunkenness to all the surrounding peoples, when they lay siege against Judah and Jerusalem.” Zechariah 12:2

Realize this was written about 2500 years ago, and as we can see today people lay siege on Jerusalem! Its surrounded by violence and political wrangling, without any real solutions! Only the LORD will make it right!

“And it shall happen in that day that I will make Jerusalem a very heavy stone for all peoples; all who would heave it away will surely be cut in pieces, through all nations of the earth are gathered against it.” Zechariah 12:3

Jerusalem today is a very huge burden to the world! All the nations who have tried to control it don’t exist or are of no real power today! What’s this mean for us? What the LORD says in His word always happens! Jesus said ‘the world will hate you as it hated Me.’ John 15:18, He also said ‘Don’t be troubled and He goes to prepare a place for us, so we can be with Him.’ John 14:1-7.

“For you are a holy people to the LORD your God; the LORD your God has chosen you to be a people for Himself, a special treasure above all the peoples on the face of the earth.”

Deuteronomy 7:6

“But you are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, His own special people, that you may proclaim the praises of Him who called you out of darkness into His marvelous light.”

1 Peter 2:9

Today if you feel a little out of place or dismayed about events going on around us! Take courage the LORD calls you and me His special people, His prize and we get to walk in His marvelous light, Here and forever! Have a blessed day in Him!

“So I will strengthen them in the LORD, And they shall walk up and down in His name,” Says the LORD.” Zechariah 10:12

Knowing this future prophecy will come to pass about Israel! But, we can be strengthened by the LORD in this today! With all we see happening in the world today, we need His strength to be able to proclaim His holy name! While most of the world rejects it!

“Let the redeemed of the LORD say so, Whom He has redeemed from the hand of the enemy.” Psalm 107:2

Today as the redeemed, the strengthened and saved by the LORD, let’s go out and proclaim how good and awesome He is! Let us be comforters, exhorters and proclaimers of His good news of salvation!

“And He said to them, “Go into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature.” Mark 16:15

Today is a good day to get out there and start proclaiming His greatness and His amazing love! Sharing with those who will listen to you about the LORD! Realizing the more we share, the less we will care about our own problems and situations! Have a blessed day.
