In this LOF part 4, Ray as a subtitle called "The Three Festivals and the Salvation of ALL". Ray talks about in #3 THE END-OF-YEAR OF INGATHERING (Feast Of Tabernacles)
Hopefully this will help.

Hello Casey and Porter
I googled it and it said that Israel still keeps the feast of tabernacles and that it is called Sukkot. I don’t know any more details.🤷‍♀️

In Christ, Pamela

I don't know if Ray ever addressed this, sorry. If it means God dwells with us, I don't see why not now either.

Hello family, I have a question, I don't know if Ray had every
addressed this or not, why would the feast of tabernacles
be kept when Jesus returns but not now?

                   Casey

Is Jesus an equal part of the “godhead”?  Was he ‘ALWAYS’, like ‘just forever’?  Where did Jesus come from?  Did he have a “beginning”, a start?  GOD’S “begotten son”.  When?  Before or after birth in this evil world?

Recently I went back to the 2006 mobile conference. 

“Ray: Now we get into the Trinity business, and oh I thought Christ was God and He existed with God for all eternity. No, He did not. “ ….”The right order of the words in the linear is, ‘and God was the word.’ “and the Word was WITH God, and the Word was God. The same was in the beginning WITH God.” Now it’s pretty hard for something that is something, to be with itself, see what I’m saying, that does’t quite work grammatically, does it?
Ray: “So in John 13:3  "and that HE CAME FROM GOD,” that’s where Jesus came from, GOD. Not from the Godhead, not from the Trinity, FROM GOD.

John 16:27  for the Father Himself loves you, because you have loved Me and have believed that I CAME OUT FROM GOD. (Just like Eve came out from Adam)
v. 28  I CAME FORTH FROM THE FATHER, and have come into the world.”

“Rev 3:14  And unto the angel of the church of the Laodiceans write; These things saith the Amen, the faithful and true witness, ……..THE BEGINNING OF THE CREATION OF GOD;”(Caps mine)……..
“The beginning was the Word of God, what did God began with? Jesus Christ, right? The Word, that’s what God began with, Jesus Christ is the beginning.” ……

Revelation is a hard read.  But the pearl was there.  ‘Spiritual matches’ that Ray emphasizes.  A little here, a little there. 

REV 3:14 “The beginning of the creation of GOD. says this“……”NASB)

WHEN did that get put in there? 

You have to love Ray.  “Pay attention to the words, ALL the words”.  “Don’t just read over the words”.  “Weigh GOD’S words very carefully”.

GOD is good. 

Such a blessing is L Ray Smith, Pennsylvania farm boy.

Hi again Pamela, you said: Do things happen outside of God’s foreknowledge? I am
not trying to be disagreeable, I just have confidence that whatever it’s being used for is in Gods plan .  what should I be careful of, I need to know.
In Christ, Pamela.
  Copy and paste the above to Gemeni,  it might help with it's answer. Have fun with AI as I do.

There is nothing new under the sun, this stuff is primitive.
It is a reflection of the human behind it yes, but All Is Of God.
I asked it if was evil. Here’s the answer.
AI is considered a tool , rather than inherently evil or good.
Like a hammer or other tools , its potential for harm or benefit
depends on human intention, design and application.

Its potential for harm or benefit depends on human intention?
Excuse me but what happened to God’s Sovereignty? It’s answer
is the typical answer of a true free willer that exalts itself above
all that is called God, 2 Thes.2:4

Do we know what God’s intention is for AI? Maybe it’s exactly what it’s doing
already, I don’t know. Do things happen outside of God’s foreknowledge? I am
not trying to be disagreeable, I just have confidence that whatever it’s being used for is in Gods plan . Ok , what should I be careful of, I need to know.
In Christ, Pamela

High musterseed,
What we need to be careful about is how it’s used and trusted. AI doesn’t “think” or have judgment—it relies on data created by humans, which means it can reflect bias, make mistakes, or be misused. Over-reliance on AI without human oversight, loss of privacy, and the spread of misinformation are real concerns.
take care, Bob

100% agree Bob

Thank you Maddie. My son is doing better, slowly but surely as he put it.

God Bless you and all BT
