Tonight’s Call – FEAST OF TABERNACLES!
What is the Feast of Tabernacles (also known as Sukkot or the Feast of Booths)? What was its Old Testament meaning? What does it symbolize in the New Testament and what prophetic events does it foretell? Sukkot is derived from the Hebrew word sukkah (Strong’s #H5521) which means a temporary dwelling such as a booth or tabernacle. It is a shortened reference to the Biblical fall festival period commonly called, in the KJV Bible, the Feast of Tabernacles (Leviticus 23:34, Deuteronomy 16:13, 16, etc.). It is also referenced as the Feast of Ingathering, Harvest or Booths (Exodus 23:16, 34:22, Leviticus 23:42). The Feast of Tabernacles (Booths), the sixth of God’s seven annual festival periods, is celebrated for seven days in the fall (Tishri 15 to 21 which occurs during September – October). The major passages related to this celebration are in Leviticus 23, Deuteronomy 16, Zechariah 14 and John 7.
Old Testament Purpose
God commanded ancient Israel to celebrate the Feast of Booths by constructing and living in temporary housing built out of tree branches, boughs and other naturally occurring materials (Leviticus 23:39 – 40, 42). The Feast of Tabernacles was a harvest time festival of thanksgiving to rejoice over God’s abundant blessings. It also served to remind the Israelites that God lovingly took care of them when they sojourned the wilderness after leaving Egyptian bondage (Leviticus 23:43). Special Psalms were often sung during this time, especially by pilgrims on their way to Jerusalem. These included Psalms 113 to 118, known as the Hallel (Praise God) Psalms, and 120 to 134, which are labeled the songs of ascent.
New Covenant Symbolism
This festival, in ancient Israel, was considered the greatest of them all. It was a time of great joy and thanksgiving before the Lord for his abundance blessings. A good time was virtually guaranteed since each person was to save a tithe of their increase to spend solely on keeping the Feast of Tabernacles (Deuteronomy 14:22 – 27)!
The Feast of Booths is symbolic of the upcoming millennial reign of Jesus on the earth. He and all the resurrected Christians (Revelation 20:4 – 6) will insure, from their headquarters in Jerusalem, that peace and prosperity come to all (see Isaiah 2, 11, Micah 4). God will also set his hand to teaching the entire world his ways. The fruit of his efforts will be a 1,000-year-long great “harvest” of people who will receive salvation and enter into eternal life.
A Temporary Sojourn
As stated previously, one of the central concepts of the Feast of Tabernacles is to live, for a short time, in a place that is built to be temporarily. The Apostle John wrote that Jesus, who was God, was willing to live in the temporary “tabernacle” of human flesh to die for our sins (John 1:1 – 3, 14, 29). The Apostle Paul wrote that those who receive the Holy Spirit become a temple or tabernacle for God to dwell in (1Corinthians 3:16 – 17, 2Corinthians 6:16). Our flesh, however, was not meant to last a long time. Christians yearn for the time when their “fleshy tabernacle” is gone and they are given an indestructible spirit body in the resurrection (2Corinthians 5:1 – 4, 1Corinthians 15:48 – 54).
Should We Keep It?
The Biblical record shows that the keeping of the Feast of Tabernacles was retained during New Testament times. In 29 A.D. Jesus celebrated it and came close to being arrested in Jerusalem (John 7). The Apostle Paul cut short his stay in Ephesus so that he could arrive in Jerusalem in time to observe the festival (Acts 18:19 – 21). Zechariah 14’s prophecy is set during the yet future time when Christ returns to establish God’s Kingdom on the earth. Ruling from Jerusalem, he will command ALL people keep his Holy Days every year.
“And it shall come to pass that everyone who is left of all the nations which came up against Jerusalem shall even go up from year to year to worship the King, the Lord of hosts, and to keep the Feast of Tabernacles.” (Zechariah 14:16).

THANK YOU ALL FOR BATTLING ON YOUR KNEES IN PRAYER AND TAKING ACTION!!!
POINT TO PONDER: A DOMINO EFFECT is about to manifest. This is where one successive event leads to another pretty quickly. We believe this will be the case in the natural and in the spirit. There is a whirlwind coming…a perfect storm. God is IN IT, even though these are trying times. IT IS HIS PLAN. It is what has to happen for His purposes to be accomplished on the earth. He will PROVIDE during these times, and we are to trust in Him, no matter what our circumstances look like. He will bring provision in a supernatural way. Things will happen like dominoes, one after the other. We will see a greater increase in His glory than ever before, and He will gather people to Himself. It may look like we are in a war zone, but He is giving us our marching orders and instructing us. LISTEN FOR HIS VOICE! Like the parable of the ten virgins in Matthew 25, we need to be wise, and be prepared. The enemy will try to bring us into fear and cause us to make unwise decisions. STAY CLOSE TO THE BODY! WE ARE GOING TO NEED EACH OTHER AND OUR COVERING MORE THAN EVER BEFORE! Be keen to the enemy’s attempts to throw us off track.
