European trip sets stage for Feast video featuring European members and Europe in end-time prophecy.
This year's Feast of Tabernacles sermon video, titled "Threshold of a New Age," tells the tumultuous story of end-time Europe in prophecy and also shares the perspectives of our brethren there.
The BibleThe books (Greek, "biblia" ) that are acknowledged as canonical (authoritative) by the early Christian Church. It includes both the books of the ancient Hebrew prophets and those of the apostolic witnesses to Jesus Christ. describes the rise and fall of four important empires over the millennia—Babylon, Persia, Greece and Rome. ProphecyA prediction of events to come. "A discourse emanating from divine inspiration and declaring the purposes of God, whether by reproving and admonishing the wicked, or comforting the afflicted, or revealing things hidden; esp[ecially] by foretelling future events" (Revised Thayer's Greek English Lexicon, "Propheteia"). reveals there is yet another coming revival of a powerful Holy Roman Empire, encompassing the world in a religious and political system that the book of RevelationThe disclosure of God's Word and plan to mankind. In the Bible this refers to making obscure things clear; bringing hidden matters to light; causing especially called individuals to see, hear, perceive, know and understand the things of God; the unveiling of biblical mysteries (Romans 16:25). calls Babylon. These great empires of man have failed, and will fail, to bring peace to humanity.
However, the prophetic books of Daniel and RevelationThe disclosure of God's Word and plan to mankind. In the Bible this refers to making obscure things clear; bringing hidden matters to light; causing especially called individuals to see, hear, perceive, know and understand the things of God; the unveiling of biblical mysteries (Romans 16:25). tell us that another kingdom will replace these four. This final kingdom will be the Kingdom of God, foreshadowed by the Feast of Tabernacles. We truly are on the threshold of a new age for humankind!
Peter Eddington and Clay Thornton, videographers from the Media and Communications Services department, visited Europe during June and July to record footage, interviews and location shots for this year's Feast sermon video. A very busy editing schedule is now underway to prepare the material in time for the Feast.
Join us at the Feast for this sobering, yet inspiring, video presentation, and at the same time meet your brethren living in Germany, the Netherlands, Belgium, France and Italy. We truly look forward to God's Kingdom as we stand on the threshold of a new age! UN
