July of 1944, my first true mentor, Mrs. Mary Bertha Allquist, a
Jewish convert to Jesus, informed me that she sensed the Lord leading
her to share with me the Feasts of the LORD from Leviticus 23. She
pointed out that Jesus fulfilled the Passover on His Cross at
Calvary. Then 50 days following His Resurrection, the Father through
Him gave the Holy Spirit on the Day of Pentecost. But the Feast of
Tabernacles, the third and </span></span></font><u><font style="font-size:11pt" size="2"><span style>great</span></font></u><font style="font-size:11pt" size="2"><span style="text-decoration:none"><span style>

returned as Lord of lords and King of kings, to rule from Jerusalem
the nations of the world for 1000 years!</span></span></font></p>
