"And I heard a loud voice from heaven saying, 'Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and He will dwell with them, and they shall be His people.'
"'God Himself will be with them and be their God.
"'And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes; there shall be no more death, nor sorrow, nor crying.
"'There shall be no more pain, for the former things have passed away.'" - Revelation 21:3-4
As we conclude the Feast of Sukkot, I want to reflect on one of the profound mysteries of God — how He aligns the prophetic clock with the Hebrew calendar.
Sukkot, also known as the Feast of Ingathering, is a harvest celebration.
Notably, it remains one of the few biblical feasts yet to be fulfilled prophetically, pointing us to future events in God's divine plan.
To give you an idea of how God is working according to the Hebrew calendar when Messiah was crucified and became the Lamb of God for the world, it was on Passover.
When He rose from the dead, it was precisely on the feast of first fruits.
After His ascension to heaven, and 50 days after Passover was the outpouring of the Holy Spirit during Pentecost or the Hebrew feast of Shavuot.
This indicated the beginning of the harvest season.
We have been in the midst of the great harvest for the past 2000 years.
In the world, the focus of life is - NOW!
The world focuses on youth, beauty, health, and ability.
In the autumn of life, there's less celebration because according to the world, life goes downhill.
But with God, it's completely opposite!
God is saving the best for last!
While things of the world get worse, become old and fade away.
The things of God only get better!
Rejoice and look toward the day when there is no more death, no more sorrow, no more pain because in Him all these things will pass away.
Throw away all the worldly pursuits and pursue God because the greatest celebration awaits us!
Keep going, even if it gets tough - because it only gets better in God!

Heaven on Earth - heaven is not the final destination for believers in Christ. The current heavens and earth will be destroyed and replaced with new heavens and a new earth. What we think of as heaven - a place of full enjoyment of the presence of God - will not be in heaven but on earth - the recreated new earth. The new heavens and earth are the eternal home for the believer. God will dwell among His people. On the new earth, we will continue to work, learn, grow, develop, and accomplish things
