First, God created spirit beings and things within the spirit world, and the Bible also shows us WHAT He created. In due course, He created the physical world—the universe with its galaxies, suns, and stars, and our earth. Science is still puzzled to this day as to how the universe came into being. The earth later became void and empty, and God renewed the face of the earth and created man. Why? What is the purpose of human existence, and what does the Bible reveal about the future of man... as well as the future of our solar system and the entire universe?

The worldly understanding of leadership intimately involves power and the act of wielding such power. The examples that we have in the Bible of leadership have a much different focus. Our crown of leadership promised by God is a result of dedicated servant leadership following the example of Christ.

The Bible tells us that we must leave this rotten world of Satan behind and that we are instead pilgrims, strangers and ambassadors for Christ. The consequences for us in regard to the evils of this world and what is in it, including selfish desires, its politics, corrupt leaders, false philosophies, terrible wars and deceiving religions are wide-ranging, but many are confused about God’s directives. Likewise, our desire for God’s Kingdom to be restored on earth can be overshadowed and clouded, if we are not careful, by the knowledge of the pain and suffering which the Great Tribulation will bring first. It is vital for our salvation that we have the right understanding in this regard.

This Last Great Day has meaning that is incomprehensible to the world. They don’t keep the Feast days and so they simply cannot understand. Because we keep this day we understand that those who were not called in previous ages, who have never heard the name of Jesus Christ or the message He brought, will, in just over a thousand years from now, have their first and only opportunity for salvation. Because people have to accept Jesus Christ as their personal Saviour, this automatically rules out all those other religions and ideas that have their basis on other erroneous foundations.

The early Christian church demonstrated a simplicity of heart. Their needs were simple, allowing them to focus their efforts on spiritual development. We would do well to follow their example and the instructions of the Bible by working to remove the things in our lives that distract us from our spiritual growth.

The Last Great Day symbolizes the period of the "Great White Throne Judgment", and is the crowning achievement in God's plan for the salvation of all of mankind and the building of His exceedingly extended Family, consisting of righteous God beings who will be perfect in character. This high holy Sabbath follows directly the Feast of Tabernacles. An overview of its meaning is given in this message.

God’s plan is full of mercy. People who never had the chance to correctly understand the complete Truth of God’s plan will have a chance to learn and obtain salvation during a resurrection to physical life during the Great White Throne Judgment period. The firstfruits in God’s Family will have the role of sharing the Truth to guide them in their understanding.

This eighth day—the time which has come to be called “the Last Great Day” does not end the plan of God! The Bible reveals that a New Heaven and Earth and a New Jerusalem will be created by God. This future time will also include the New Members of the Family of God—those who will have a place in the eternal realm of God’s glorious New Kingdom!

What is it like to be immortal, to not experience pain and death anymore? There are those in the Bible who had a glimpse of what it was like to not feel pain or death, in certain examples. Christ, when He was on the earth, was able to resurrect people from the dead. We will all experience that in the near future when Christ returns, a chance to be in God's kingdom and have everlasting life.

We are commanded to be a community of believers. What does this mean for us? How are we to act and to treat each other? Without this proper understanding it can be very detrimental to our organizations.

Is there the possibility, that human initiative can change the course of humanity? Will wealthy Foundations, influencing Think-Tanks or even politicians provide a solution, a “Great Reset”, like the WEF proclaims? A comparison, based on the biblical truth that only God is capable to implement substantial change and end the Reign of Evil on earth. And a view beyond this REAL Great Reset.

Changes which will occur after the return of Christ applicable in the millennium

Being the few chosen group of people that God has called out of this world is no easy road to travel as we are faced with challenges that only very few people can endure and overcome, something that can only be achieved with God's help.

As we attend the Feast we are memorializing the time that God has command for us to keep! As we keep these days we look back at the past and evaluate it based on the framework of God's word. Then we make the effort to set our sights on the future and apply what we learn as we progress in our calling.

Rene Messier will give today's sermon.

We often make claims that the Bible prophesies a coming nuclear war. What are the scriptures that support those claims? What hope is there in bringing an end to the utter destruction that will engulf the face of the earth?
