Christ, the removal of Satan
the devil, and the Millen-
nium— a thousand years of
reigning with Jesus Christ, the
Prince of peace, bringing peace
at last to this war-torn and
blood soaked earth by estab-
lishing His firm Governmental
rule on this earth.
And beyond the Millennium
will be the Last Great Day that
holds great meaning for all of
us as we look forward to seeing
our families once again along
with the rest of mankind who
will be in their graves at the
time of their resurrection.
The Purpose of This
Writing
The purpose of this writing is
to refresh our minds regarding
the meaning of these coming
Holy Days and preparing for
their observance in view of this
terrible time in which we now
live.
Everyone should realize this is
a most serious and critical
time in which very trouble-
some problems are accelerat-
ing in this nation and the
world for which there are no
solutions other than the
coming of Jesus Christ.
Sadly very few people realize
the seriousness of this time in
which we live. And even those
in society who do recognize
this as a time of crisis, and
speak and write about them,
do not have the offices of
authority to resolve them. And
even if they did nothing truly
positive would come from
what they would offer as
solutions nor would society
accept them. This is very
evident.
God in heaven above led Isaiah
the Prophet to write of the
sickness to be found in the
leadership and the societies of
the House of Joseph:
“. . . The whole head is sick
and the whole heart faints
from the sole of the foot
even to the head, there is
no soundness in it, but
wounds with bruises and
putrefying sores . . .”
(Isaiah 1:5-6).
“This Coming Feast Season”
By Alton B. (Don) Billingsley
And the LORD spoke to Moses, sayi g, “Speak to the children of Israel, and say to them,
‘The FEASTS of the LORD, which you shall proclaim to be Holy Convocations, these are
My Feasts.”
Leviticus 23:1-2

od’s Fall Holy Days are
almost here. They hold
great meaning to us as the true
and faithful members of God’s
true Church wherever each
one of us may live. And we are
looking forward to observing
them again this year. And that
is as it should be.
Many of us have been observ-
ing these Festivals for many
years. And they have always
been eagerly looked forward to
with joyful anticipation with
their meaning in mind. And
this year should be all the
more meaningful in view of
where we are now in time.
