In Revelation 20:15 we’re told that anyone who is not found written in the book of life will be cast into the lake of fire. What is this book of life? When and how can one’s name be written in it? What can you do to make sure your name is there?

The Fall Festival season pictures the Kingdom of God being established on earth. That means a new government will be established to rule all the nations of the earth! (Revelation 11:15; Daniel 7:14).
Why is a new government necessary? Because government in the hands of man has failed miserably. The record of history is one of war, oppression, poverty, disease, all too often famine, and every other evil imaginable, often caused by government, or at other times not prevented by man’s governments. Historically, government has often been man’s greatest enemy. Yet, effective and genuinely beneficent government is essential to the well being of man. A new and much better government is needed to replace current governments with their failures, inadequacies and evils.
A big part of the responsibility of government is to regulate relations between people. God’s government, through his law, regulates our relationships with God and with one another. In God’s Kingdom, a big part of the job of those who administer the government will be to teach individuals and nations how to relate to one another and to God so as to produce peace and joy, happy and abundant lives on a universal scale. Scripture tells us that the resurrected saints will be given authority under Jesus Christ in his millennial Kingdom to help him rule over the nations of the earth (Daniel 7:27; Revelation 2:26-27; 5:9-10).
If you were made a “king” (or “queen”) today, what kind would you be? What kind of rulers does the world need?

Why did God command the Israelites to dwell in booths? What spiritual lessons can we learn from their example?
Actually, there are deep lessons we can learn from this example about the transitoriness of our physical lives, and how that should influence how we view life in the flesh and our relationship to God, and the prospect of being granted the gift of eternal life in his kingdom.

Scripture states that when Jesus Christ returns to this earth at his second coming, every eye will see him (Revelation 1:7). What does this mean exactly? Is it to be taken literally? Also, are there to be multiple “second comings”? Will Christ fight the armies of nations? How much time will it take for his second coming? Find answers to these questions and others regarding the second coming of Jesus Christ in this message.

The time from the Feast of Trumpets through the Feast of Atonement is ten days, which pictures a period of God’s judgment and also repentance toward God for mankind to occur in conjunction with the end of this age and the beginning of a new age under the reign of Jesus Christ on the earth.
