4. HISTORY REVEALS....
For the Feast of Tabernacles & Ingathering, the Lord
commanded Israel to make booths to dwell in for
seven days; however, the feast lasted for 8 days with
the holy days being on the 1st & 8th days
The booths were walled structures made from boughs
or branches of “goodly trees”
Each day a sacrifice was made to the Lord
This feast served as a memorial for Israel reminding
them that the Lord caused them to dwell in booths in
the wilderness after being brought out of Egypt &
also points to key events that will occur in the last days

5. SECTION I
THE BOOTHS
God’s Churches & Safe Havens for His Children
©2011 Household Of Israel Temple Of Jesus Christ. All Rights Reserved

6. THE BOOTHS (OR CHURCHES)
Just as ancient Israel dwelt in booths
some of God’s children also dwell in
booths today
These booths are small churches that
the Lord is preparing in this spiritual
wilderness for those people he has
brought out of spiritual Egypt
The spiritual wilderness is this
world
Spiritual Egypt is likened unto a life
of sin
©2011 Household Of Israel Temple Of Jesus Christ. All Rights Reserved

7. PREPARING THE BOOTHS
In order for these booths to be prepared they
must first be founded upon the foundation of
Christ
What is that foundation?.........the 10
commandments of God
Using the law as a measuring stick, these
churches can establish a doctrine that is
according to God’s will
God’s little booths are safe havens for his
children, a place where they can learn of his
word
©2011 Household Of Israel Temple Of Jesus Christ. All Rights Reserved

8. NOT EVERY CHURCH IS A
BOOTH
NOT EVERY CHURCH in this world is
considered a booth of God
NOT ALL of GOD’S CHILDREN are in booths
Why?.....many religious systems in this world
have developed ideologies that do NOT
advocate the keeping of God’s laws, replacing
them with their own man-made traditions such
as...
Worshipping on Sunday as opposed to Sabbath
Celebrating Easter instead of Passover
©2011 Household Of Israel Temple Of Jesus Christ. All Rights Reserved

9. NOT EVERY CHURCH IS A
BOOTH
These worldwide religious
systems have deceived people all
over the world with false
doctrine
This includes many of God’s
children who are currently blind
to the truth & still dwell in
spiritual Egypt
©2011 Household Of Israel Temple Of Jesus Christ. All Rights Reserved

10. STRENGTHENING OF
BOOTHS
Before the Lord comes upon this
earth, the Holy Spirit will be
poured out to beautify and
strengthen the small churches
These churches will stand as signs
and be places of refuge for God’s
people whose eyes will be open to
see what the real truth is

11. SECTION II
THE TABERNACLE
The Holy Mountain & the Footstool of Jesus Christ

12. WHAT IS THE
TABERNACLE?
The Tabernacle is God’s holy sanctuary that will literally be
brought down from heaven unto this earth during the
second coming of Christ
How?.....Christ will put his foot down on the Mount of
Olives splitting it in two (Zechariah 14: 4-21)
It will be a place of worship, refuge and safety for his people
and will be covered by a ring of fire and clouds
Where exactly is the Mount of Olives located?

13. THE MOUNT OF OLIVES
The Mount of Olives is a mountain ridge that parallels the
eastern wall of Jerusalem, which is located in Israel
This great mount is mentioned multiple times throughout the
scriptures and was a place frequented several times by Christ
during his first coming
This is where he would often teach his disciples
Christ also prayed to God the Father on the lower slopes of Mt.
Olives at the Garden of Gethsemane just prior to his crucifixion
When Christ returned to heaven after his first coming he
ascended up from Mt Olives
©2011 Household Of Israel Temple Of Jesus Christ. All Rights Reserved

15. ISRAEL THE PROMISE
LAND
Because Mount Olives is located in
Israel it is important to discuss this
country
God chose Israel as the Promise Land
for the descendants of Abraham, Isaac
and Jacob and because of this fact,
this is where the holy tabernacle will
be placed
©2011 Household Of Israel Temple Of Jesus Christ. All Rights Reserved

16. CURRENT DAY ISRAEL
Though Israel is known worldwide
for it’s biblical history, in this
current day it has also garnered
attention for its ongoing
Palestinian-Israeli conflict, severe
economic problems and extreme
climate events including draughts
and floods
Given these facts, one might
wonder why God chose this
country as the Promise Land
©2011 Household Of Israel Temple Of Jesus Christ. All Rights Reserved

17. THE GATE OF HEAVEN
God chooses certain things and certain places to put his
name upon
Israel was chosen before the earth was created as the gate or
entry way to heaven
It is also the place where God chose to place his name and to
place his feet
Before the wicked nations came in to pollute the land, before
the children of Israel came, when all was still good, this was
the entryway to heaven, the place where God set his garden

18. A “LAND FLOWING WITH
MILK & HONEY”
The land of Israel was supposed to be a
sanctified land from the beginning,
blessed by the presence and name of God
It was supposed to be the land of milk and
honey, the glory of all lands
Deuteronomy 11:11-12, “But the
land, whither ye go to possess it, is a
land of hills and valleys, and drinketh
water of the rain of heaven: A land
which the Lord thy God careth for: the
eyes of the Lord.”
©2011 Household Of Israel Temple Of Jesus Christ. All Rights Reserved

19. A DESOLATE LAND
At this time, the land of Israel is nothing like the land of milk
and honey
Why?....God cursed the land because of Israel’s sin and
spewed them out of the country, spreading them throughout
the entire world
Israel is now considered barren and desolate, even though it
is occupied by many nations
Because of sin, this land continues to be a site for blood shed,
war and hatred
©2011 Household Of Israel Temple Of Jesus Christ. All Rights Reserved

20. CHRIST RETURNS
Though the land of Israel is desolate & corrupted with sin, it
will not always be this way
When Christ returns he will take siege of Jerusalem and
make war with all the nations of the world
He will place his foot upon Mount Olives, causing an
earthquake like no other
The entire world will be impacted by Christ’s return and
Israel will be changed forever becoming a place of peace,
glory & beauty where God’s holy tabernacle & truth will be

21. SECTION III
THE INGATHERING
The Final Harvest & Gathering Together of
God’s People
©2011 Household Of Israel Temple Of Jesus Christ. All Rights Reserved

22. WHAT IS A HARVEST?
To harvest is the process of
gathering mature crops from a
field
The harvest marks the end of a
growing cycle or the growth cycle for
a particular crop
Harvesting also includes the actions
immediately after gathering the crop
including cooling, sorting, cleaning
& packing
©2011 Household Of Israel Temple Of Jesus Christ. All Rights Reserved

23. SPIRITUAL HARVEST
Spiritually speaking, Christ is likened unto a
farmer, the crops are people and the field is this
world
In this world there are crops that are of good
seed, meaning they belong to God and crops
that are tares, meaning they are children of
Satan
A child of God becomes a mature crop when he
or she begins to walk perfectly in the eyes of the
Lord; thus prepared for his coming
When a child of God is harvested this involves
the removal of sin & death as well as receiving
the gift of immortality
©2011 Household Of Israel Temple Of Jesus Christ. All Rights Reserved

24. GOD’S CROPS
Because crops have different growth cycles, some mature quicker than
others
The same principle applies to the children of God, meaning that we
reach spiritual maturity at different times & rates
Why?....God opens the eyes of his children according to his will through
the Holy Spirit
This is why only some of God’s people are currently privy to the holy
truth while the rest are still in darkness
Given these facts, the harvest of God’s people will occur in stages during
the last days to ensure that all saints have the opportunity to prepare &
be saved
Ingathering specifically points to the final stage of the harvest
©2011 Household Of Israel Temple Of Jesus Christ. All Rights Reserved

25. A TIME OF PERIL
Prior to God’s harvest, the perils &
troubles of this world will continue to
get worst as in the days of Noah & Lot
We will see an increase in violence,
sodomy, natural disasters as well as
government & economic turmoil, all of
which is prophesied of in the bible
It is during these perilous times that
God will open the eyes of his children
that are in darkness; thus, preparing
them for the harvest
©2011 Household Of Israel Temple Of Jesus Christ. All Rights Reserved

26. PREPARING FOR THE
HARVEST
There will be a great outpouring of the Holy
Spirit upon the saints of God that remain alive
during the last days
The everlasting gospel of Christ will be preached
throughout the entire world & those once blind
will open their eyes & accept the truth
Remember the booths in Part I of this
presentation?......many of God’s children , who
have been recently introduced to the gospel, will
go to these churches to learn of the word from
saints that are already very knowledgeable in the
truth
©2011 Household Of Israel Temple Of Jesus Christ. All Rights Reserved

27. EVENTS PRIOR TO THE
FINAL HARVEST
When Christ comes down on Mt Olives he will destroy much of the
armies of the wicked in this world
They will hate Christ for tearing up their cities and monuments,
taking away their wealth and placing their governments in disarray
The wicked will make themselves a leader, the Man of Sin, that will
run this world with iron clad control & deceit
The Man of Sin will be given power to kill the saints for 3 ½ years
after which the angels of God will destroy him and his kingdom
©2011 Household Of Israel Temple Of Jesus Christ. All Rights Reserved

28. DURING THE FINAL
HARVEST- INGATHERING
The final harvest encompasses the gathering & uniting of ALL of
God’s saints in their IMMORTAL bodies
Because only a remnant of God’s people will remain alive during his
coming, the resurrection of saints that died the common death is
necessary to make this harvest complete (Please see class on “The
Resurrection”)
These saints will resurrect in flesh of glory that is no longer
corrupted with sin & death
All of the saints of God will meet & unite together in heaven at the
marriage supper of the Lamb where each individual will be granted
a crown of life
©2011 Household Of Israel Temple Of Jesus Christ. All Rights Reserved

29. CONNECTING IT ALL
TOGETHER
God has established booths, also known as churches, that are currently
attended by those saints that are already knowledgeable about the truth
As the Lord’s coming draws closer, He will pour out his Holy Spirit, to
strengthen & beautify the booths & open the eyes of those of his saints that
are in darkness
These same saints will then have the desire to attend these booths to learn
of God’s word & prepare for the harvest
©2011 Household Of Israel Temple Of Jesus Christ. All Rights Reserved

30. CONNECTING IT ALL
TOGETHER
When the Lord returns & places his tabernacle on Mount Olives, he will destroy much of
the armies of the wicked
The wicked that remain alive will despise Christ for what he did and will seek the
leadership of the Man of Sin who will be in power to persecute & kill the saints of God for
3.5 years
After the Man of Sin has been in power for 3.5 years, he will be destroyed by the brightness
of Christ’s coming
The resurrection of the saints that died will then take place & ALL of God’s children will
have immortality
They will unite in heaven at the marriage supper of the Lamb making the final harvest
complete

31. HOW DO WE CELEBRATE
TABERNACLES & INGATHERING
The Feast of Tabernacles & Ingathering last for 8 days with the 1st
and 8th days being holy days
The holy days are kept just like a Sabbath, during which we refrain
from any common or recreational activities
We decorate our church in green to represent the tree branches
ancient Israel used to make the booths and gold to represent the
eternal life we hope to gain after God has gathered his people
Our holy ceremonies includes songs of praise, prayer ceremony,
hand washing & communion as well as testimonies
