Let The Righteous Be Glad and Rejoice Before יהוה It is imperative to plan now for the upcoming Feast of Tabernacles that is required for seven days, plus the eighth day which is a solemn assembly, a Holy Convocation wherein ye shall do no servile work therein (Leviticus 23:34, 36). Why? The Feast of Tabernacles celebration requires travel to the place where יהוה chooses to place His name, and if you want to be guaranteed a seat in His house so that you receive the blessing promised by Him, then you should make your reservations now (Deuteronomy 16:15). And when you come, remember יהוה commands us to enter into His gates with thanksgiving and into His courts with praise. With that being said, all who plan to attend our Forty-First Annual Feast of Tabernacles/Holy Convocation must come with a positive mindset ready to rejoice before יהוה. Thus, no one is to appear before יהוה empty: every man shall give as he is able, according to the blessing of יהוה, which He has given thee (Psalm 100, 104; Deuteronomy 16:14, 16-17). Yes, we do understand that adhering to these specific instructions, especially, to rejoice in the feast, may seem difficult for some. It may be hard for you to find joy with the alarming rise in cost of everything from food, to clothing, to housing, and travel. And of course remaining festive is a herculean task when forced to choose between taking an inoculation or losing an occupation. We are living in arduous times for sure, nevertheless let the righteous be glad and rejoice before יהוה, because not only do these incomparable perilous days signal great tribulation and the time of Jacob’s troubles, but this grueling period also represents deliverance for the righteous from all their many afflictions (Psalm 34:19, 68:3). Thus, it is logical to ask, who are the righteous, and what can we do to be counted among those that shall be delivered? The simple answer is the righteous are characterized by uprightness. In addition, the upright at heart are those that prepare their hearts unto the Lord, יהוה, and serve Him only. They shout for joy and give thanks at the remembrance of His holiness; regardless of what unfolds round about them at any given moment (1 Samuel 7:3; Psalm 32:11, 97:12). They are joyful because they trust in יהוה בּן יהוה and because they love His Holy and Marvelous name, they Call upon יהוה בּן יהוה in the Day of Trouble; being strong and of good courage, not afraid, neither dismayed at worldly concerns that vex others, for they know that their Deliverer is with them wherever they go (Joshua 1:9; Psalm 5:11; 50:15). Such characteristics, and confidence, are not the result of unconscious assimilation, but can be obtained of יהוה בּן יהוה by inclining your ear to His wisdom, applying your heart to His understanding, and seeking after His knowledge (Proverbs 2:2-4). Therefore, finalize your plans to come up and worship our King, יהוה בּן יהוה, and keep the Feast of Tabernacles/Holy Convocation in the place where He has placed His name: Embassy Suites Hotel, Katy Highway, Houston, Texas from September 29 through October 6, 2021.
