A special meeting in the Tabernacle
I
t was the last day of the Feast of Tabernacles, tomorrow morning I would fly back home. There was a pleasant bustle around the building. Everywhere groups of people were picnicking in the grass and here and there the guitar was played and happy songs were sung. I walked past and said hello to some people I had contact with. There was a great Tabernacle that would be torn down that day. I hadn't got around to looking inside yet, this was my last chance. I lifted the curtains and stepped inside and looked around. It looked cozy and just when I was about to go out again I was called and saw two older people sitting in the back. Because of their dark clothing I had not immediately seen them in the somewhat dim room.They called me over and asked if I wanted to sit down for a while, they had something to say. I had already talked so much with people in the past few weeks that I decided not to tell much about myself and just listen to these old people. They said they had both worked for President Jimmy Carter. She in his 'Staf' and he in the army. How they met and both accepted Jesus the Messiah and served Him all their lives. This is how I got to meet these special people unexpectedly. After a while they got up because they had to go to the bus. We waved goodbye until the old woman turned suddenly and looked sharply at me and proclaimed over me the following scripture from Isaiah 54:17, "No weapon that is formed against thee shall prosper; and every tongue that shall rise against thee in judgment thou shalt condemn.This is the heritage of the servants of the LORD, and their righteousness is of me, saith the LORD." I was left amazed, what did these words mean? Would there be a legal case to do with our divorce? I had to get used to this thought. But God would intercede for me, I was just promised that!
