Brother Doug,

I read the above post and felt very moved by it. God called to me the following verse from the IV/JST

JST-Genesis 9:21-22

21 And the bow shall be in the cloud; and I will look upon it, that I may remember the everlasting covenant, which I made unto thy father Enoch; that, when men should keep all my commandments, Zion should again come on the earth, the city of Enoch which I have caught up unto myself.
22 And this is mine everlasting covenant, that when thy posterity shall embrace the truth, and look upward, then shall Zion look downward, and all the heavens shall shake with gladness, and the earth shall tremble with joy; and the general assembly of the church of the first-born shall come down out of heaven, and possess the earth, and shall have place until the end come. . .

I find it very interesting that one of the conditions of Zion coming again is that we should keep all his commandments. I find this very interesting and a move from God within the last couple of years to return to the commandments of Israel. There has been many talks about Sabbath and Feast days of ISRAEL. Which reflects the commandments of God.

I agree that the Waste places should be built up and we should stand in holy places as we have discussed before. I pray that we keep up the good fight until Zion comes.

In Christ,

Tom
