In times we percieve as filled with turnoil...

for all seasons and especially this day, Christ is still Lord of the Church.


Genesis 17:21, "But I will establish My covenant with Isaac, whom Sarah shall bear to you at this season next year."


AELW 3:163-154

"In this passage one should take note of the word מוֹעֵד, which we have generally translated with the German noun Stifft, while the Latin translation has “tabernacle of the testimony.” But in this passage the word denotes a definite and fixed time, as, for instance, also in Gen. 1:14: “Let them be לְמוֹעֲדִים, ” “for certain times.” Inasmuch as the moon has a definite time during which it is new and during which its brightness increases and decreases, it is a most convenient indicator of time.

Then מוֹעֵד also denotes a definite place in which the tabernacle of the covenant had been set up, where God had established a remembrance of Himself, that is, where He had commanded that His Word be taught and that He be worshiped. For remembrance of God is nothing else than preaching about God, and He wants men to be intent on this, as Christ says (Luke 22:19): “Do this in remembrance of Me.” For where He Himself has His teachers who preach His name, there He wants to be found, to hear, and to bless."
