Feast of the Open Book

• A. When Moses was 120 years of age he passed
  the torch to Joshua along with a renewal of the
  covenant with the new generation born in the
  wilderness.

2

• And he said to them, "I am a hundred and twenty
  years old today I am no longer able to come and
  go, and the LORD has said to me, "You shall not
  cross this Jordan.' "It is the LORD your God who
  will cross ahead of you He will destroy these
  nations before you, and you shall dispossess
  them. Joshua is the one who will cross ahead of
  you, just as the LORD has spoken. --Deuteronomy
  312-3

• B. A New Command was Given to the Joshua
  generation.
• Gods Priests were to take the Book of the
  Covenant and open it during the Feast of
  Tabernacles while in the land of promise and
  articulate it to the people.

5

• So Moses wrote this law and gave it to the
  priests, the sons of Levi who carried the ark of
  the covenant of the LORD, and to all the elders
  of Israel.
• Then Moses commanded them, saying, "At the end of
  every seven years, at the time of the year of
  remission of debts, at the Feast of Booths, when
  all Israel comes to appear before the LORD your
  God at the place which He will choose, you shall
  read this law in front of all Israel in their
  hearing.
• "Assemble the people, the men and the women and
  children and the alien who is in your town, so
  that they may hear and learn and fear the LORD
  your God, and be careful to observe all the words
  of this law. "Their children, who have not
  known, will hear and learn to fear the LORD your
  God, as long as you live on the land which you
  are about to cross the Jordan to possess."
• --Deuteronomy 319-13

Opened and Read.

• Promise.

In the same way God, desiring even more to
show to the heirs of the promise the
unchangeableness of His purpose, interposed with
an oath, so that by two unchangeable things in
which it is impossible for God to lie, we who
have taken refuge would have strong
encouragement to take hold of the hope set
before us. This hope we have as an anchor of the
soul, a hope both sure and steadfast and one
which enters within the veil, where Jesus has
entered as a forerunner for us, having become a
high priest forever according to the order of
Melchizedek. Hebrews 617-20

  kept charge of My sanctuary when the sons of
  Israel went astray from Me, shall come near to Me

  Lord GOD. They shall enter My sanctuary they
  shall come near to My table to minister to Me and
  keep My charge. Moreover, they shall teach My
  people the difference between the holy and the

• Great Kingdom mysteries were Revealed to Daniel
  but Concealed in a Book Until the End of Time
  Generation.
• Those who have insight will shine brightly like
  the brightness of the expanse of heaven, and
  those who lead the many to righteousness, like
  the stars forever and ever. But as for you,
  Daniel, conceal these words and seal up the book
  until the end of time many will go back and
  forth, and knowledge will increase.
• Daniel 123-4
• As for me, I heard but could not understand so I
  said, "My lord, what will be the outcome of these

D. Safeguarded on the Throne of God Until the
Appointed Time

• I saw in the right hand of Him who sat on the
  throne a book written inside and on the back,
  sealed up with seven seals. And I saw a strong
  angel proclaiming with a loud voice, "Who is
  worthy to open the book and to break its seals?"
  And no one in heaven or on the earth or under the
  earth was able to open the book or to look into
  it. Then I began to weep greatly because no one
  was found worthy to open the book or to look into
  it and one of the elders said to me, "Stop
  weeping behold, the Lion that is from the tribe
  of Judah, the Root of David, has overcome so as
  to open the book and its seven seals."
  Revelations 51-5

• down out of heaven, clothed with a
• cloud and the rainbow was upon his
• head, and his face was like the sun,
• and his feet like pillars of fire and he
• had in his hand a little book which
• was open. He placed his right foot on
• the sea and his left on the land and
• he cried out with a loud voice, as
• when a lion roars and when he had
• cried out, the seven peals of thunder
• uttered their voices.
• Revelations 101-3

• The Strong Angel Offers the Book to the End of
  Time Generations to be Devoured To Be
  Prophesied to the Present Generation
• Then the voice which I heard from heaven, I heard
  again speaking with me, and saying, "Go, take the
  book which is open in the hand of the angel who
  stands on the sea and on the land. So I went to
  the angel, telling him to give me the little
  book. And he said to me, "Take it and eat it it
  will make your stomach bitter, but in your mouth
  it will be sweet as honey."
• I took the little book out of the angel's hand
  and ate it, and in my mouth it was sweet as
  honey and when I had eaten it, my stomach was
  made bitter.
• And they said to me, "You must prophesy again
  concerning many peoples and nations and tongues
  and kings." Revelations 108-11

H. What is this Now Opened Book?

• It is the Book of Redemption that only our
  Kinsman Redeemer can open and reveal. It
  contains God's plans, purposes and pursuits for
  the consummation of the ages. The Lord will open
  it and reveal to His Bride the full measure of
  His redemptive work and the fullness of our
  inheritance in Him.

  the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of
  the Son of God, to a mature man, to the measure
  of the stature which belongs to the fullness of
  Christ. Ephesians 411-13
