Found at Numbers 10:2 the Hebrew word migrâ, pronounced; mik-raw, means a calling together, and/or call to assemble. In this verse the word is used as its basic meaning of convening the different camps of Israel together, in this case so that they can continue on their journey.

At other times appointed by Jehovah, all the Israelites were called together (migrâ) to meet for holy conventions. These assemblies included: (1) every Sabbath; (2) the first and seventh days of the Festival of Unfermented Cakes; (3) the first and seventh days of the Festival of Weeks (Pentecost); (4) the first and tenth days of the month of Tishri (Day of Attonement); (5) the first day of and the day after the Festival of Booth.

On all these occasions, the people were to do no normal daily work but be gathered together for spiritual benefits of worship and instruction. They were edified by the public reading and explanation of God′s written Word. (Acts 15:21)

Throngs assembling at the temple during the annual festivals experienced great delight and spiritual benefit, as at the Passover celebration in the time of King Hezekiah, when there was great rejoicing in Jerusalem. (2 Chronicles 30:26)

To remain faithful, a Christian must associate with other Christians, both within their home congregation as well at other special regional gatherings hosted for all of the brotherhood in large areas.

Just like in the days of Moses, in the days of Israel, even during the days when Jesus to steps upon the earth, but especially in the days of the Apostles after the resurrection of Jesus to Heaven, when those of his disciples were appointed to the positions within the faithful and discreet slave ¹ who began to gather all of the brothers of Christ, so that they come together in order to receive the spiritual food at the proper time. (Matthew 24:45) "Who then is the faithful and wise servant, whom his lord hath set over his household, to give them their food in due season?" (American Standard Version)

Each year, the faithful and discrete slave has made arrangements for large meetings throughout the the world. These meeting are today called by the names regional conventions, circuit assemblies and other special meetings.

Yes, each summer, at venues all over the world, the People of God today are gathered together at large arenas, convention centers, stadiums, and other locations to listen and learn from talks provided by the faithful and discrete slave, the slave appointed by Jesus for the sole purpose to provide spiritual food at the proper time.

And how timely are these provisions, which actually come from Jehovah, especially now since we are living in the final part of the last days that Jesus told his disciples would come to a wicked and idolatrous generation.

Paul fittingly urged all the brotherhood not to forsake regular assemblies of the people of God in his words to first century Hebrew Christians (Hebrews 10:24 , 25)

Therefore, make it a point to meet with the People of God today, especially when call to come to the large gathering of The People of God to meet at large assemblies.
