Eighth Day

October 24, 2024

"Then I saw a great white throne and Him who sat on it, from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away. And there was found no place for them. And I saw the dead, small and great, standing before God, and books were opened. And another book was opened, which is the Book of Life" (Revelation 20:11-12).

This final commanded festival of the year - the Eighth Day (also called "the Last Great Day") - shows how deep and far reaching are the merciful judgments of God. All those who died without understanding God's truths will be at last given their first opportunity to really know their Creator and join His family.

Jesus Christ celebrated seven festivals every year that most Christians today can’t even name, yet He is at the core of all of them. He is the reason for each of these seasons, and they have great meaning for anyone who would like to follow Him better today. What are these festivals, and what do they reveal about our Savior and King?

Thousand of years ago, God commanded the nation of Israel to observe a series of festivals throughout the year. Far from being obsolete or a relic of bygone days, these days are rich in meaning for mankind today. Why? They reveal the very plan and purpose of God!
