The pots in the Lord's House shall be like holy vessels

Zechariah 14:20 - In that day shall there be upon the bells of the horses, HOLINESS UNTO THE LORD; and the pots in the LORD'S house shall be like the bowls before the altar.


In the Bible the Lord uses standard symbols throughout the different books. Like explained in the book of Daniel or Revelations a horn represented a ruler or a kingdom. Similarly a horse symbolizes change or period, a bell symbolizes warning of time (the Hebrew word translated as 'bell' comes from the root word 'time' concerning trouble / warning) and a pot made of earth symbolizes an earthly person.

In the book of Zechariah the Lord is talking of a time between the Gospel being preached to the entire world and just before the end times. During this time the Church will be in its peak glory and any person or country which does not accept the teaching of peace (Jerusalem) after receiving the Gospel will be punished by the Lord severely. The fear of God will be among the people and all will proclaim Holiness of the Lord. Scriptures says every believer in the house of the Lord will be like a holy vessel made of pure gold (gold symbolizing heavenly righteousness).

All children of God living a double life (worldly and godly life together - Egypt) will be punished. The Feast of the Tabernacle was celebrated at the end of the harvest. It symbolizes the gathering of the people of God unto the Temple of God, seven days symbolizes fullness in Christ. Pentecost is the feast of harvest wherein all the harvest was gathered unto barns irrespective of good or bad, wheat or weed. The Feast of the Tabernacle was the time when the harvest went from the threshing floor and through the winepress. The Jews during this feast live in booths or tents this symbolizes their readiness to travel. It actually means the readiness for the second coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. It is at that time when the whole harvest will go through the threshing floor and the winepress to be part of real Temple which is the Body of the Lord Jesus Christ - God the Son.


[ Prayer Starter ]
Lord Jesus the Feast of Passover symbolizes the watering of people those who are your children and hold the seed of faith, die unto themselves and sprout new life in You the Real Vine. The Feast of Pentecost is when your people are harvested unto You irrespective of fruit bearing or non fruit bearing. The Feast of Tabernacle is the time when the fruit bearing are segregated from the non fruit bearing. Those which are non fruit bearing will be burnt and those which are fruit bearing will be gathered unto You. Lord, we pray that realized the importance of growing the Fruit(s) of the Holy Spirit so that we are gathered unto You to be a part of the glorious You...

This prayer we make in Jesus' Name, Amen.

Matthew 22:1-14
1 And Jesus answered and spoke to them again by parables and said:
2 "The kingdom of heaven is like a certain king who arranged a marriage for his son,
3 "and sent out his servants to call those who were invited to the wedding; and they were not willing to come.
4 "Again, he sent out other servants, saying, 'Tell those who are invited, "See, I have prepared my dinner; my oxen and fatted cattle are killed, and all things are ready. Come to the wedding."'
5 "But they made light of it and went their ways, one to his own farm, another to his business.
6 "And the rest seized his servants, treated them spitefully, and killed them.
7 "But when the king heard about it, he was furious. And he sent out his armies, destroyed those murderers, and burned up their city.
8 "Then he said to his servants, 'The wedding is ready, but those who were invited were not worthy.
9 'Therefore go into the highways, and as many as you find, invite to the wedding.'
10 "So those servants went out into the highways and gathered together all whom they found, both bad and good. And the wedding hall was filled with guests.
11 "But when the king came in to see the guests, he saw a man there who did not have on a wedding garment.
12 "So he said to him, 'Friend, how did you come in here without a wedding garment?' And he was speechless.
13 "Then the king said to the servants, 'Bind him hand and foot, take him away, and cast him into outer darkness; there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.'
14 "For many are called, but few are chosen."
