1 THE CHURCH OF GOD NEW WORLD MINISTRIES WELCOME TO PIGEON FORGE, TENNESSEE And it shall come to pass, that every one that is left of all the nations which came up against Jerusalem shall even go up from year to year to worship the King, the Lord of Hosts, and to keep the Feast of Tabernacles. Zechariah 14:16

2 The Church of God New World Ministries Welcome to the Feast of Tabernacles 2016 The world now has a population of over seven billion people. Of that number, only a small few truly understand God s Master Plan of Salvation for Mankind. As we approach the fall season we see fall festivals, state and county fairs, and other activities celebrating the end of summer and the fall harvest season. But, unfortunately, very few understand the deep spiritual meaning of the Feast of Tabernacles and The Last Great Day. Mention these festivals to the average Christian or churchgoer and they would be oblivious to what you were saying. You are here because YOU DO UNDERSTAND! You understand that God commands the observance of this feast. It is not optional. It is not something we decide upon as to whether we will attend or not. We understand that the Feast of Tabernacles represents an integral part of God s Plan of Salvation for Mankind. What is that Plan? The festival season begins with Passover. Though, not one of the seven annual Sabbaths, nevertheless, it is one of the most significant days God commands us to observe. The Passover symbolizes the passing over of our past sins our redemption back to God. The Days of Unleavened Bread follows the Passover because once our sins are forgiven we must now put sin out of our lives and put on Christ. Pentecost pictures the outpouring of God s Holy Spirit upon those who repent and are baptized. The Feast of Trumpets pictures Christ s triumphant return to this earth. Atonement pictures the final judgment of Satan the Devil. He will receive his just reward for all the wickedness he is responsible for. And, finally, we come to the Feast of Tabernacles The Great Fall Harvest. Following the 6,000 years allotted to man for his time on earth, comes the 7 th 1,000-year period. For 1,000 years Christ will reign and establish His Kingdom and Government on this earth. Those who have overcome and endured to the end shall live and reign with Christ during that 1,000 years. God commands his people to assemble year after year to KEEP THIS FEAST. He expects us to learn how to live in the New World to come. For seven glorious, wonderful, spiritually inspired days, God s people are to assemble at the place He chooses and rejoice before the Lord. It is our hopes that this year s Feast will truly be the BEST EVER! And, following the Feast will be the Last Great Day. A time when we will once again be united with loved ones that never knew the TRUTH but will have their DAY OF SALVATION. What a glorious PLAN. Let us PRAISE OUR GREAT GOD, and truly REJOICE BEFORE HIM! God speed that day! Sincerely, 2

Thursday, 20th 9:30 PM Salon D Monday, 17th ( 4:00 PM) Friday, 21st, 23rd 8:30 PM Salon D Also in the fifteenth day of the seventh month, when ye have gathered in the fruit of the land, ye shall keep a feast unto the Lord seven days: on the first day shall be a Sabbath, and on the eighth day shall be a Sabbath. And ye shall keep it a feast unto the Lord...It shall be a statute forever in your generations (Lev. 23:39-41) 6

7 God s Hand at Work! (Feast Films) Planet Earth: (Sanctuary of Life DVD) In the vast expanse of the solar system, the earth stands alone. Nowhere else but on this small, bluish jewel has God brought together the precise and perfect qualities necessary to sustain life. As you watch this memorable tour of our planet, you will discover hidden miracles absolutely vital to our survival.. Animal Kingdom : (Great Are Thy Works DVD) It has been said that the wisest of human engineers could not improve the control system found in the tail of a common squirrel. Similar statements can be made while observing the inhabitants of any pond, field or wilderness. God has left his indelible signature on every member of the animal kingdom with which we share this planet. As you view this video, you will be amazed at the mysterious migrations of the Pacific salmon and the monarch butterfly's annual 2,000 mile journey from Canada to Mexico. You will visit the inside of a honeycomb to learn the language of bees. Watch spiders spin webs stronger than steel. Throughout the animal kingdom, God's provision and craftsmanship are widely displayed. Human Life: (Crown of Creation DVD) The well-known Greek writer Sophocles wrote, "Numberless are the world's wonders, but none are more wonderful than man himself." Sophocles' timeless words still ring true, for human life exists as the crowning achievement of God's creation. As you watch this video, carefully consider the unimaginable complexity and potential of the human brain, the architectural masterwork of the hand and skeletal system, and the incredible durability of the heart. In the human body, God's creative power expresses its magnificent dimension. But there is far more to the miracle of the human experience than the wonders of the body and mind. God has made each of us for the highest purpose of all, to know and enjoy His love and care forever in the Kingdom of God. Join us this year for our church picnic at the Wear Farm City Park. Shelter 2 Bring along your musical instruments, board games, horseshoes, or any other item to relax you. Enjoy a catered meal with all the trimmings. Wednesday, 19th. 5:00 PM We are admonished to live by every word of God. do this we need God s Holy Spirit. We are told to study and pray daily. Don t neglect these vital aspects of your Christian growth and development while at the feast. Always find time for prayer and Bible Study. Don t quench the Spirit! Feast of Tabernacles 7
