Exod.34[ 22] And thou shalt observe the feast of weeks, of the
firstfruits of wheat harvest, and the feast of
ingathering at the year's end.[ 23] Thrice in the year shall
all your men children appear before the Lord GOD, the God of Israel.
Lev. 23
[33] And the LORD spake
unto Moses, saying,
[34] Speak unto the children of Israel, saying, The fifteenth day of this seventh month shall be the feast
of tabernacles for seven days unto the LORD.
[35] On the first day shall be an holy
convocation: ye shall do no servile work therein.
[36] Seven days ye shall offer an offering made
by fire unto the LORD: on the eighth day shall be an
holy convocation unto you; and ye shall offer an offering made by fire
unto the LORD: it is a solemn assembly; and ye shall
do no servile work therein.
[37] These are the feasts
of the LORD, which ye shall proclaim to be holy convocations, to offer
an offering made by fire unto the LORD, a burnt offering, and a meat offering,
a sacrifice, and drink offerings, every thing upon his day:
[38] Beside the sabbaths
of the LORD, and beside your gifts, and beside all your vows, and beside
all your freewill offerings, which ye give unto the LORD.
[39] 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.
[40] And ye shall take you on the first day the boughs of goodly trees, branches
of palm trees, and the boughs of thick trees, and willows of the brook; and ye
shall rejoice before the LORD your God seven days.
[41] And ye shall keep it a feast unto the LORD seven days in the year. It shall be a statute for
ever in your generations: ye shall celebrate it in the
seventh month.
[42] Ye shall dwell in booths seven days; all
that are Israelites born shall dwell in booths:
[43] That your generations may know that I made
the children of Israel to dwell in booths, when I brought them out of the land
of Egypt: I am the LORD your God.
[44] And Moses declared unto the children of
Israel the feasts of the LORD.
Deut. 16
[13] Thou shalt observe the
feast of tabernacles seven days, after that thou hast gathered in thy
corn and thy wine:
[14] And thou shalt
rejoice in thy feast, thou, and thy son, and thy daughter, and thy
manservant, and thy maidservant, and the Levite, the stranger, and the
fatherless, and the widow, that are within thy gates.
[15] Seven days shalt
thou keep a solemn feast unto the LORD thy God in the place which the
LORD shall choose: because the LORD thy God shall bless thee in all thine
increase, and in all the works of thine hands, therefore thou shalt surely
rejoice.
[16] Three times in a year shall all thy males
appear before the LORD thy God in the place which he shall choose; in the feast of unleavened bread, and in the feast of weeks,
and in the feast of tabernacles: and they shall not appear before the
LORD empty:
[17] Every man shall give as he is
able, according to the blessing of the LORD thy God which he hath given thee.
Deut. 31
[10] And Moses commanded them, saying, At the end
of every seven years, in the solemnity of the year of release, in the feast of tabernacles,
[11] When all Israel is come to appear before the LORD thy God in the place
which he shall choose, thou shalt read this law before all Israel in their
hearing.
[12] Gather the people together, men, and women,
and children, and thy stranger that is within thy gates, that they may hear,
and that they may learn, and fear the LORD your God, and observe to do all the
words of this law:
[13] And that their children, which have not
known any thing, may hear, and learn to fear the LORD your God, as long as ye
live in the land whither ye go over Jordan to possess it.
Zech.
14
[1] Behold,
the day of the LORD cometh, and thy spoil shall be divided in the
midst of thee.
[2] For I will gather all nations against Jerusalem to battle; and the
city shall be taken, and the houses rifled, and the women ravished; and half of
the city shall go forth into captivity, and the residue of the people shall not
be cut off from the city.
[3] Then shall the LORD go forth, and fight against those nations, as
when he fought in the day of battle.
[4] And his feet shall stand in that day upon the mount of Olives, which
is before Jerusalem on the east, and the mount of Olives shall cleave in the
midst thereof toward the east and toward the west, and there shall be a very
great valley; and half of the mountain shall remove toward the north, and half
of it toward the south.
[5] And ye shall flee to the valley of the mountains; for the valley of
the mountains shall reach unto Azal: yea, ye shall flee, like as ye fled from
before the earthquake in the days of Uzziah king of Judah: and the LORD my God shall come, and all the saints with
thee.
[6] And it shall come to pass in that day, that the light shall
not be clear, nor dark:
[7] But it shall be one day which shall be known to the LORD, not day,
nor night: but it shall come to pass, that at evening time it shall be light.
[8] And it shall be in that day, that living waters shall go out from
Jerusalem; half of them toward the former sea, and half of them toward the
hinder sea: in summer and in winter shall it be.
[9] And the LORD shall be king over all the earth:
in that day shall there be one LORD, and his name one.
[10] All the land shall be turned as a
plain from Geba to Rimmon south of Jerusalem: and it shall be lifted up, and
inhabited in her place, from Benjamin's gate unto the place of the first gate,
unto the corner gate, and from the tower of Hananeel unto the king's
winepresses.
[11] And men shall dwell in it, and there shall be no more utter
destruction; but Jerusalem shall be safely inhabited.
[12] And this shall be the plague wherewith the
LORD will smite all the people that have fought against Jerusalem;
Their flesh shall consume away while they stand upon their feet, and their eyes
shall consume away in their holes, and their tongue shall consume away in their
mouth.
[13] And it shall come to pass in that day, that a great tumult from the
LORD shall be among them; and they shall lay hold every one on the hand of his
neighbour, and his hand shall rise up against the hand of his neighbour.
[14] And Judah also shall fight at Jerusalem; and the wealth of all the
heathen round about shall be gathered together, gold, and silver, and apparel,
in great abundance.
[15] And so shall be the plague of the horse, of the mule, of the camel,
and of the ass, and of all the beasts that shall be in these tents, as this
plague.
[16] And it shall come
to pass, that every one that is left of all the nations which came
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.
[17] And it shall be, that whoso will not
come up of all the families of the earth unto Jerusalem to worship the King,
the LORD of hosts, even upon them shall be no rain.
[18] And if the family of Egypt go not
up, and come not, that have no rain; there shall be the plague, wherewith the LORD will smite the heathen that come
not up to keep the feast of tabernacles.
[19] This shall be the punishment of
Egypt, and the punishment of all nations that come not up to keep the feast of
tabernacles.
[20] In that day shall there be upon the
bells of the horses, HOLINESS UNTO THE LORD; and the pots in the LORD's house
shall be like the bowl's before the altar.
[21] Yea, every pot in Jerusalem and in
Judah shall be holiness unto the LORD of hosts: and all they that sacrifice
shall come and take of them, and seethe therein: and in that day there shall be
no more the Canaanite in the house of the LORD of hosts.

John.7 [2] Now the Jews' feast of tabernacles was at hand.
Rom.2 [28] For he is not a Jew, which is one
outwardly;
[29] But he is a Jew, which is one inwardly;
----------
Matt. 3
[10] And now also the axe is laid unto the
root of the trees: therefore every tree which bringeth not forth good fruit is
hewn down, and cast into the fire.
[11] I indeed baptize you with water unto repentance: but he that cometh
after me is mightier than I, whose shoes I am not worthy to bear: he shall
baptize you with the Holy Ghost, and with fire:[12] Whose fan is in his
hand, and he will throughly purge his floor, and gather his wheat into
the garner; but he will burn up the chaff with unquenchable fire.
Matt. 13 [24] Another
parable put he forth unto them, saying, The kingdom of heaven is likened unto a
man which sowed good seed in his field:
[25] But while men slept, his enemy came
and sowed tares among the wheat, and went his way.
[26] But when the blade was sprung up, and
brought forth fruit, then appeared the tares also.
[27] So the servants of the householder
came and said unto him, Sir, didst not thou sow good seed in thy field? from
whence then hath it tares?
[28 ] He said unto them, An enemy hath
done this. The servants said unto him, Wilt thou then that we go and gather
them up?
[29] But he said, Nay; lest while ye
gather up the tares, ye root up also the wheat with them.
[30] Let both
grow together until the harvest: äÈàÈñÄó and in the time of harvest
I will say to the reapers, Gather ye together first the tares, and bind them in
bundles to burn them: but gather the wheat into my barn.
Matt. 24
[25] Behold, I have told you before.
[26] Wherefore if they shall say unto you,
Behold, he is in the desert; go not forth: behold, he is in the secret
chambers; believe it not.
[27] For as the lightning cometh out of the east,
and shineth even unto the west; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.
[28] For wheresoever the carcase is, there will
the eagles be gathered together.
[29] Immediately after the tribulation of those
days shall the sun be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the
stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken:
[30] And then shall appear the sign of the Son of
man in heaven: and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall
see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory.
[31] And he shall send his angels with a great
sound of a trumpet, and they shall gather äÈàÈñÄó together his elect from the
four winds, from one end of heaven to the other.
Matt. 25
[31] When the Son of man shall come
in his glory, and all the holy angels with him, then shall he sit upon the
throne of his glory:
[32] And before him shall be gathered äÈàÈñÄó all nations: and he shall separate them one from another, as a shepherd divideth
his sheep from the goats:
[33 ] And he shall set the sheep on his
right hand, but the goats on the left.
[34] Then shall the King say unto
them on his right hand, Come, ye blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom
prepared for you from the foundation of the world:
[35 ] For I was an hungred, and ye gave me
meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me drink: I was a stranger, and ye took me in:
[36] Naked, and ye clothed me: I was sick,
and ye visited me: I was in prison, and ye came unto me.
[37] Then shall the righteous answer him,
saying, Lord, when saw we thee an hungred, and fed thee? or thirsty, and gave
thee drink?
[38] When saw we thee a stranger, and took
thee in? or naked, and clothed thee?
[39] Or when saw we thee sick, or in
prison, and came unto thee?
[40] And the King shall answer and
say unto them, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of
the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me.
[41] Then shall he say also unto them on
the left hand, Depart from me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared
for the devil and his angels :
[42] For I was an hungred, and ye gave me
no meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me no drink:
[43] I was a stranger, and ye took me not
in: naked, and ye clothed me not: sick, and in prison, and ye visited me not.
[44] Then shall they also answer him,
saying, Lord, when saw we thee an hungred, or athirst, or a stranger, or naked,
or sick, or in prison, and did not minister unto thee?
[45] Then shall he answer them, saying,
Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye did it not to one of the least of these,
ye did it not to me.
[46] And these shall go away into everlasting punishment:
but the righteous into life eternal.
Mark. 13
[23] But take ye heed: behold, I have foretold
you all things.
[24 ] But in those days, after that
tribulation, the sun shall be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light,
[25 ] And the stars of heaven shall fall,
and the powers that are in heaven shall be shaken.
[26 ] And then shall they see the Son of
man coming in the clouds with great power and glory.
[27 ] And then shall he send his angels,
and shall gather äÈàÈñÄó together his elect from the four winds, from the uttermost part of the earth to the
uttermost part of heaven.
Get ready for the last gathering äÈàÈñÄó
