Mongolian Worship Festival

Mongolian Worship Festival

The Worship Festival began with a Mongolian playing a traditional horse head violin. He sang a song in his native tongue while he played. Then 12 riders on horseback appeared on the horizon at the top of a hill. Each of them carried a banner that represented the concepts of God, the nations, the attributes of God, declarations, and fruits of the spirit.

The riders came down the hill and stopped midway. Several dismounted and raised a cross to the Most High God. Then they continued the trek down the rest of the hill towards the campgrounds. The riders made their way to the stage. There they presented their flags and placed them at the front of the stage.

The closing ceremony was very much like the opening but in reverse. First each flag was displayed and the meaning was announced. Then the Mongolian horseback riders rode up to the front of the stage. Here they dismounted to collect their flags and remounted to present them. Then just as the sun was setting they rode up to the top of the hill, paused long enough to look back over the campsite, and disappeared over the top of the hill.

This represented Mongolians taking the presence of the Lord throughout their nation. Ashley

Psalms 60:4
But for those who fear you, you have raised a banner to be unfurled against the bow.

Numbers 21:8,9
The LORD said to Moses, 'Make a snake and put it up on a pole; anyone who is bitten can look at it and live.' So Moses made a bronze snake and put it up on a pole. Then when anyone was bitten by a snake and looked at the bronze snake, he lived.

Isaiah 11:10-12
In that day the Root of Jesse will stand as a banner for the peoples; the nations will rally to Him, and His place of rest will be glorious. In that day the Lord will reach out His hand a second time to reclaim the remnant that is left of His people from Assyria, from Lower Egypt, from Upper Egypt, from Cush, from Elam, from Babylonia, from Hamath and from the islands of the sea. He will raise a banner for the nations and gather the exiles of Israel; He will assemble the scattered people of Judah from the four quarters of the earth.
