Did you get that...? In the New Testament Paul alludes to describe himself as a "living sacrifice." Go back and read that verse again...emphasis on the following question(s), We see those who bring an offering unto the Lord out of all nations for the feast of Tabernacles, and do so in the same fashion as the Jews of old...doing so "AS THE CHILDREN OF ISRAEL BRING AN OFFERING", so the question is two fold...Who are "THEY" who bring in the opening words? And What do "THEY" bring for an offering unto the Lord out of All nations upon horses, and in chariots, and in litters, and upon mules, and upon swift beasts?
"And they shall bring all your brethren for an offering unto the LORD"
So the kingdoms of this world gather against Jerusalem, and destroy her. Then there is an earthquake and New Zion rises, as New Jerusalem comes to sit upon her. The Lord himself wages war as this is coming to fruition, having stood on the Mount of Olives just prior to the earthquake. His enemies are consumed by fire. His saints, are comforted in that new city, in which the Lord God himself, and the Lamb are the Temple. The Lamb is the Light of that city, the Glory of God is the Lamb, not the Shekinah which served so prior. The alter bowls are replaced by the pots of the city, the temple is replaced by the Lord God Almighty and the Lamb...the Canaanites are replaced by Levites and priests and the offerings are replaced by people as opposed to possessions.
They who bring are the Levites and Priests, the NEW LEVITES AND PRIESTS. Note the there is no more Canaanite in the New Jerusalem...in the House of The Lord...
Zecheriah 14:21 Yea, every pot in Jerusalem and in Judah shall be holiness unto the LORD of hosts: and all they that sacrifice shall come and take of them, and seethe therein: and in that day there shall be no more the Canaanite in the house of the LORD of hosts.
Note they that sacrifice in Zechariah 14:21 are "They" who bring in Isaiah 66:20, these are also those who Dwell with God in that City in Revelations 21.
Rev 21:3 And I heard a great voice out of heaven saying, Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and he will dwell with them, and they shall be his people, and God himself shall be with them, and be their God.
and in Isaiah 66 we see them bringing offering to the Lord at the feast of Tabernacles in verse 20, it is of these whom the new priests and Levites are chosen, and who again are these in Isaiah 66?
They are they who escape the wrath of God to declare his glory amongst the nations in Verse 19:
Isa 66:19 And I will set a sign among them, and I will send those that escape of them unto the nations, to Tarshish, Pul, and Lud, that draw the bow, to Tubal, and Javan, to the isles afar off, that have not heard my fame, neither have seen my glory; and they shall declare my glory among the Gentiles.
They will offer a first hand eye witness account of the event of the arrival of the Lord God Of Hosts, his Lamb and his Kingdom to reign from The New Jerursalem resting upon New Zion. They are the righteous, those who endured to the end, they are the saints who will reign with him in the new earth. This battle is described in greater detail in Isaiah 65:1-12
1 I am sought of them that asked not for me; I am found of them that sought me not: I said, Behold me, behold me, unto a nation that was not called by my name.
2 I have spread out my hands all the day unto a rebellious people, which walketh in a way that was not good, after their own thoughts;
3 A people that provoketh me to anger continually to my face; that sacrificeth in gardens, and burneth incense upon altars of brick;
4 Which remain among the graves, and lodge in the monuments, which eat swine's flesh, and broth of abominable things is in their vessels;
5 Which say, Stand by thyself, come not near to me; for I am holier than thou. These are a smoke in my nose, a fire that burneth all the day.
6 Behold, it is written before me: I will not keep silence, but will recompense, even recompense into their bosom,
7 Your iniquities, and the iniquities of your fathers together, saith the LORD, which have burned incense upon the mountains, and blasphemed me upon the hills: therefore will I measure their former work into their bosom.
8 Thus saith the LORD, As the new wine is found in the cluster, and one saith, Destroy it not; for a blessing is in it: so will I do for my servants' sakes, that I may not destroy them all.
9 And I will bring forth a seed out of Jacob, and out of Judah an inheritor of my mountains: and mine elect shall inherit it, and my servants shall dwell there.
10 And Sharon shall be a fold of flocks, and the valley of Achor a place for the
herds to lie down in, for my people that have sought me.
11 But ye are they that forsake the LORD, that forget my holy mountain,
that prepare a table for that troop, and that furnish the drink offering unto that number.
12 Therefore will I number you to the sword, and ye shall all bow down to the slaughter: because when I called, ye did not answer; when I spake, ye did not hear; but did evil before mine eyes, and did choose that wherein I delighted not.
Now what of those Gentiles, saved to this timeframe who are righteous, who recognize the lamb, and have also been gathered to this region at the timeframe of this battle, what about those Canaanites amongst them, as it is written In Zechariah 14 there shall be no more Canaanite in the House of the Lord? What of those numbered as Righteous? Well, remember Rahab? Remember Esther? "Thy People shall be my people, and thy God shall be my God"....God is not without honor, and loves righteousness more than tradition. Note Isaiah 65 speaks of those who survive this battle of verses 1-12:
