I have heard it said on many occasions that I am too poor to

make it to Jerusalem one time a years never mind the three feast that
God commanded us to go to. What about me does that mean I am
going to hell and I lost my salvation? According to scripture God had
gave us provision even though the cost is so great who afford to go
and spend 8 to 12 days depending on when they fall during the week.
None the less He did command us to go. So do I do? I want to go and
been seen by Him to show that I am faithful to His word? What I
suggest requires the whole community to get involved in what His
word says not the way it has been interrupted to mean over the years
and that is that we can celebrate the feast anywhere we choose, I
challenge you to find that anywhere in the scripture. I know that
modern day Judaism say that you can do what seems right in your
own eyes, where the scripture clearly says where of the place I choose
to put my name on. Exo 20:24  ‘Make a slaughter-place of earth for
Me, and you shall slaughter on it your ascending offerings and your
peace offerings, your sheep and your cattle. In every place where I
cause My Name to be remembered I shall come to you and bless you.

Where is that? According to Kings and Chronicles it reads that


Jerusalem is where He placed His name forever.
1Ki 8:29  “For Your eyes to be open toward this House night and day,
toward the place of which You said, ‘My Name is there,’ to listen to the
prayer which Your servant makes toward this place.

Further some say well the Temple is not standing so we do not


have show up at the appointed times.
Neh 1:4-11  And it came to be, when I heard these words, that I sat
down and wept, and mourned for many days. And I was fasting and
praying before the Elohim of the heavens,  (5)  and I said, “I pray,
‫ יהוה‬Elohim of the heavens, O great and awesome Ěl, guarding the
covenant and loving-commitment with those who love You, and with
those guarding Your commands,  (6)  please let Your ear be attentive
and Your eyes open, to hear the prayer of Your servant which I am
praying before You now, day and night, for the children of Yisra’ěl Your
servants, and confess the sins of the children of Yisra’ěl which we have
sinned against You. Both my father’s house and I have sinned.  (7) 
“We have acted very corruptly against You, and have not guarded the
commands, nor the laws, nor the right-rulings which You commanded
Your servant Mosheh.  (8)  “Please remember the word that You
commanded Your servant Mosheh, saying, ‘If you trespass, I shall
scatter you among the peoples,  (9)  but if you shall turn back to Me,
and guard My commands and do them, though you were cast out to
the end of the heavens, I shall gather them from there, and bring
them to the place which I have chosen, to make My Name dwell there.’
(10)  “And they are Your servants and Your people, whom You have
ransomed by Your great power, and by Your strong hand.  (11)  “O
‫יהוה‬, I pray, please let Your ear be attentive to the prayer of Your
servant, and to the prayer of Your servants who delight to fear Your
Name. And let Your servant prosper this day, I pray, and grant him
compassion in the presence of this man.” For I was cupbearer to the
sovereign.
Eze 43:7-11  And He said to me, “Son of man, this is the place of My
throne and the place of the soles of My feet, when I dwell in the midst
of the children of Yisra’ěl forever, and the house of Yisra’ěl shall no
longer defile My set-apart Name, they nor their sovereigns, by their
whoring and by the corpses of their sovereigns on their high places.
(8)  “When they placed their threshold by My threshold, and their
doorpost by My doorpost, with a wall between them and Me, they
defiled My set-apart Name by the abominations which they have done.
So I consumed them in My displeasure.  (9)  “Now let them put their
whoring and the corpses of their sovereigns far away from Me, and I
shall dwell in their midst forever.  (10)  “Son of man, explain the
House to the house of Yisra’ěl, and when they are ashamed of their
crookednesses, they shall measure the measurements.  (11)  “And
since they shall be ashamed of all that they did, make known to them
the design of the House and its structure, and its exits and its
entrances, its entire design and all its laws, and all its forms and all its
Torot. And write it down before their eyes, so that they observe its
entire design and all its laws, and shall do them.
1Ch 22:6-19  He also called for his son Shelomoh, and commanded
him to build a house for ‫ יהוה‬Elohim of Yisra’ěl.  (7)  And Dawiḏ said to
Shelomoh, “My son, as for me, it has been in my heart to build a
house to the Name of ‫ יהוה‬my Elohim,  (8)  but the word of ‫ יהוה‬came
to me, saying, ‘You have shed much blood and have fought great
battles. You do not build a house for My Name, because you have shed
much blood on the earth in My presence.  (9)  See, a son is to be born
to you, who is a man of rest. And I shall give him rest from all his
enemies all around, for Shelomoh is his name, and peace and rest I
give to Yisra’ěl in his days.  (10)  He does build a house for My Name,
and he is to be My son, and I am to be his Father. And I shall establish
the throne of his reign over Yisra’ěl forever.’  (11)  “Now, my son, ‫יהוה‬
be with you, then you shall prosper and build the House of ‫ יהוה‬your
Elohim, as He has said to you.  (12)  “Only, let ‫ יהוה‬give you wisdom
and understanding, and command you concerning Yisra’ěl, so that you
guard the Torah of ‫ יהוה‬your Elohim,  (13)  then you shall prosper, if
you guard to do the laws and right-rulings with which ‫ יהוה‬commanded
Mosheh concerning Yisra’ěl. Be strong and brave, do not fear nor be
discouraged.  (14)  “See, in my affliction I have prepared for the
House of ‫ יהוה‬one hundred thousand talents of gold and one million
talents of silver, and bronze and iron beyond measure, for it is plenty.
And I have prepared timber and stone, and you shall add to them.
(15)  “And with you there are many workmen: hewers and workers of
stone and timber, and all types of skilled men for every kind of work.
(16)  “Of gold and silver and bronze and iron there is no limit. Rise up
and do, and ‫ יהוה‬is with you.”  (17)  And Dawiḏ commanded all the
rulers of Yisra’ěl to help Shelomoh his son, saying,  (18)  “Is not ‫יהוה‬
your Elohim with you? And has He not given you rest all around? For
He has given the inhabitants of the land into my hand, and the land
has been subdued before ‫ יהוה‬and before His people.  (19)  “Now, give
your heart and your being to seek ‫ יהוה‬your Elohim. And rise up and
build the set-apart place of ‫ יהוה‬Elohim, to bring the ark of the
covenant of ‫ יהוה‬and the set-apart vessels of Elohim into the house
that is to be built for the Name of ‫יהוה‬.”

If you read in Era and Nemaha, all they needed was build the alter, in fact only
sacrifice that priest had to go in with the sacrifice into the temple is during Yom Kippur
where he had to go into the most set apart place once a year.
Saying that how do I get to feast since my income is just enough to
get by? Like I said it will take the whole house to believe and do what
He had Moses write down for us to do in these cases. We are required
to do a third year tithe and with this tithe we to bring everyone with us
so all can celebrate at least one in three years.
Deu 14:22-29  “You shall tithe without fail all the yield of your grain
that the field brings forth year by year.  (23)  “And you shall eat
before ‫ יהוה‬your Elohim, in the place where He chooses to make His
Name dwell, the tithe of your grain and your new wine and your oil,
and of the firstlings of your herds and your sheep, so that you learn to
fear ‫ יהוה‬your Elohim always.  (24)  “But when the way is too long for
you, so that you are not able to bring the tithe, or when the place
where ‫ יהוה‬your Elohim chooses to put His Name is too far from you,
when ‫ יהוה‬your Elohim is blessing you,  (25)  then you shall give it in
silver, and shall take the silver in your hand and go to the place which
‫ יהוה‬your Elohim chooses.  (26)  “And you shall use the silver for
whatever your being desires: for cattle or sheep, for wine or strong
drink, for whatever your being desires. And you shall eat there before
‫ יהוה‬your Elohim, and you shall rejoice, you and your household.  (27) 
“And do not forsake the Lěwite who is within your gates, for he has no
part nor inheritance with you.  (28)  “At the end of every third year
you bring out all the tithe of your increase of that year and store it up
within your gates.  (29)  “And the Lěwite, because he has no portion
nor inheritance with you, and the sojourner and the fatherless and the
widow who are within your gates, shall come and eat and be satisfied,
so that ‫ יהוה‬your Elohim does bless you in all the work of your hand
which you do.
Deu 26:10-13  And now, see, I have brought the first-fruits of the land
which You, O ‫יהוה‬, have given me.’ Then you shall place it before ‫יהוה‬
your Elohim, and bow down before ‫ יהוה‬your Elohim,  (11)  and shall
rejoice in all the good which ‫ יהוה‬your Elohim has given to you and
your house, you and the Lěwite and the stranger who is among you.
(12)  “When you have completed tithing all the tithe of your increase
in the third year, which is the year of tithing, and have given it to the
Lěwite, to the stranger, to the fatherless, and to the widow, and they
have eaten within your gates and have been satisfied,  (13)  then you
shall say before ‫ יהוה‬your Elohim, ‘I have put away the set-apart
portion from my house, and also have given it to the Lěwite, and to
the stranger, and to the fatherless, and to the widow, according to all
Your command which You have commanded me. I have not
transgressed Your commands, nor have I forgotten.

So I propose every congregation across the globe to construct a box for such an
event so anyone who wants to go will be able to go and joyous time in Jerusalem. Be
creative make sure it is secured, UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES is the money
received to be used for any purpose other than for sole purpose to get people to Jerusalem
for the feast days.
I do not what your box may look like but here is an idea what it could look like.

As you may see it is modest yet yours make anyway you choose. What do you
think I should charge for such a box? I am not sure if anyone would be interested let me
know what think.
Well I have given much to think about may the Father grant to you His loving-
kindness.
Shalom
Rick
