Thirst For Living Waters


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.
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.
The festivals God commanded in the Bible and his Sabbaths have prophetic implications which form an outline of God’s plan for mankind. The new moon of the seventh month, is also a festival and a Sabbath, called the Feast of Trumpets. This feast has particular prophetic significance associated with the blowing of trumpets.
The Feast of Trumpets points to a time in the future when, as related in Scripture, a trumpet, or trumpets, will be blown, to signal a series of prophesied events ushering in a new age. The events portrayed in what the Feast of Trumpets signifies are to be unprecedented in world history, and will forever change the kind of world human beings will inhabit, a world inestimably better in every way.
We are instructed in Scripture to “Examine yourselves as to whether you are in the faith” (II Corinthians 13:5). The Bible has a great deal to say about being faithful, and faithfulness. We are told that those who will be with Christ in his kingdom are “called, chosen, and faithful” (Revelation 17:14).
In the message “Are You Faithful?” are reviewed a number of Scriptures relating to both the faithfulness of God and the faithfulness he requires of his people. Every Christian is being tested with regard to his faithfulness to God and his way of life, and it’s a matter we need to give attention to and take seriously.
