Humans have long sought a Utopian world of peace and justice, free of crime, war and other evils. When men talk about building a better future, when they talk of solving the world’s problems, when they talk about peace and security, what is it they focus on? What do human beings generally perceive as the key or keys to a successful future? What do they perceive as the means to achieving a happier society? Or a better world? Whom and what do they look to for solutions?

Ingathering of the Nations
For 6000 years the world has known trouble, violence, conflict among nations. God has not left the world without witness, far from it, but the world has rejected the Eternal Creator who is the author of life and giver of every good gift, and followed the way of Satan, the way of rebellion and all manner of evil. Will things ever change in a truly fundamental and permanent way? The good news is, Yes!
The Feast of Tabernacles pictures in a prophetic manner, among other things, the spiritual salvation and restoration of all nations. In this message are details from Scripture about the astounding future awaiting the nations after Jesus Christ returns to establish the kingdom of God on this earth.
How You Can Know the Future?
People of various descriptions, shades of opinion and backgrounds have sought to predict the future, but are nearly always wrong. The Bible warns us about how not to go about trying to inquire into the future, and also how we may understand it.

Prophetic Significance of the Fall Festivals of God
Billions of people down through history have lived, going about their mundane activities blind to and ignorant of the real purpose of their existence. And then they died. Human philosophical and religious ideas have failed utterly to fill the void, and so if they think about it at all, people are left simply to wonder, what is the purpose of human existence.
The festivals that God’s Word commands to be kept all have deep spiritual significance. And their significance from the standpoint of time is not only historical, but also contemporary and prophetic. In understanding the meaning of God’s festivals lies the key to understanding what few people have been privileged to know, and that is, not only why we exist, but how the purpose of our existence is being and will be fulfilled.
When we put the outline of prophetic events depicted by the commanded festivals of God, together with detailed prophecies of the Bible we get a very clear picture of the flow of God’s plan and how he is going to bring it to fruition in a step by step process.
The message presented here by Rod Reynolds focuses on the prophetic significance the fall festivals God commands to be kept.
Whose World is It?
Many people assume that this is God’s world, that God is fully in control, and that all that happens in the world is in accordance with God’s will. But the reality of the situation is not quite that straightforward or simple.
If this is God’s world why is there so much violence, so much poverty, so much sickness, so much evil of every kind and description? If this is God’s world why aren’t the problems that have plagued it for thousands of years solved?
Whose world is it that we’re living in? Is it really God’s world?
Listen as Rod Reynolds discusses the answers to these questions from the pages of the Bible.
