22And you are to celebrate the Feast of Weeks with the firstfruits of the wheat harvest, and the Feast of Ingathering at the turn of the year. 23Three times a year all your males are to appear before the Lord GOD, the God of Israel. 24For I will drive out the nations before you and enlarge your borders, and no one will covet your land when you go up three times a year to appear before the LORD your God.
Three celebrations, Feast of Weeks, firstfruits of the wheat and Feast of Ingathering!
Feast of Ingathering is similar to our Thanksgiving, as a matter of fact that’s what our church calls it, Ingathering.
“and no one will covet your land when you go up three times a year to appear before the LORD your God”.
“What a manifest proof was this of the power and particular providence of God! How easy would it have been for the surrounding nations to have taken possession of the whole Israelitish land, with all their fenced cities, when there were none left to protect them but women and children! Was not this a standing proof of the Divine origin of their religion?” (Clarke)
Our nation from its founding has been blessed by God, but we as a nation have strayed and I believe the Lord is trying to get our attention, to repent.
Please pray for a revival!
Blessings, David
“Unbelievers may well be afraid, for they have an angry God above them, a guilty conscience within them, and a yawning hell beneath them. But we who rest in Jesus are saved from all these by His rich mercy.” (Alistair Begg)
