THE FESTIVALS OF BOOTHS CELEBRATED
"IN SUMMER AND IN WINTER" (Zech 14:8,16)
ARE FOR "LIFE'S WATER FREE". (Rev 22:17).
THE SPIRITUAL REQUIREMENTS AND PURPOSE.
The purpose of one's attendance at
these festivals is to gain accurate knowledge of the Will of God and to call
upon Him for spirit correction and spiritual growth. Even Ethiopians and
Egyptians. (Isaiah 18:7. 19:19-21). There is One Creator, Almighty God Jehovah.
He is Spirit. By means of His Firstborn Son The Christ Michael whom He has
anointed with Holy Spirit, He is creating (perfecting) other spirit sons.
Consequently, one's flesh is important only as to the creation of one's spirit
toward incorruptible heavenly spirit life the
ultimate purpose of God for mankind. (1 Cor 15:44-49). When our Lord Michael
became flesh in the form of Jesus Christ, he was perfected in spirit through the
sufferings he received while in the flesh. Now in heaven, The Christ Michael is
being used by God as the Perfector of other human spirits. They too are being
subjected by the Spirit Law of God through The Christ Michael 144,000 of whom are
being created according to an anointing from God by Holy Spirit.
Festivals of booths are the Will of
God for mankind. (Zech 14:16). These festivals will be presided over by
heavenly Mount Zion: A Spirit administration made up of the 144,000
spirit created sons of God to minister to people of all nations so
that they too may be created in the spirit "image" and
"likeness" of God and His Firstborn Son in complete unity. (Gen 1:26).

THE FIRST THINGS. * |
|
(1) |
Before attending the booths, people
must be made comfortable in order to be spiritually receptive. They must not be
in a state of discomfort or malnutrition. However, feeling spiritually
"naked" and ashamed of one's past sins, though unpleasant, is to be
expected. (Rev 16:15. Isaiah 45:14). |
|
(2) |
A
copy of each of the following Bibles must be in each booth: The New World
Translation (NWT),
the New English Bible (NEB),
and the Moffatt Translation (Mo). The Opened "Little Scroll" was
written primarily using these translations. Although these Bibles are human
translations of the original Word from God, they were instrumental in the
writing of the "Little Scroll", just as it is written: "You must prophesy again with regard to peoples and nations and tongues and many
kings." (From Rev 10:8-11). To be of spiritual benefit, these
translations must be transcribed into the language (tongue) of each nation
attending. |
|
(3) |
The
Opened "Little Scroll", along with other spiritual discernments
from God to be revealed at the booths, are to be provided only to male heads of
families for the particular day they are intended to be made known, and are to
be kept in the folder(s) provided to each male head. The requirements of
THE FIRST THINGS*
must also be transcribed into the languages of each nation attending. |
|
(4) |
All
labour, resources and provisions for the festivals of booths must come from each attending nation. (Isaiah 60:11,12). |
|
(5) |
Males
with flowing locks of hair, or wearing headcoverings, are not permitted. (1 Cor 11:4,7). |
|
(6) |
Females
must wear a headcovering while being taught the Word of God. (1 Cor 11:5-10).
They are not permitted to teach the Word of God at any time, at any place. (1
Cor 14:34,35. 1 Tim 2:11,12). |
|
(7) |
No
unauthorized objects such as idols, charms, or foreign literature are permitted. |
|
(8) |
Copyright
of The Opened
"Little Scroll" exists to prevent unauthorized
edited copies. Each nation must only print accurate copies
of this work, or a part thereof, for its inhabitants. |
|
(9) |
With
reference to spiritual teachings from The Opened "Little Scroll"
and the Holy Scriptures that are not understood or are misunderstood by male
heads of families after they have been taught: After one's
prayers to God through The Christ, the relevant question(s) must be written down
and submitted, along with one's name and address, to a son of Zion for reply. |
