We have crossed over from Day of Atonement or Yom Kippur, the Highest Holy Day of the year. This is when we remember Jesus put His blood on the mercy seat in the heavenly tabernacle to atone for our sin and declare forgiveness and reconciliation with Father God! Now we are getting ready for the Festival of Joy or Feast of Sukkot or Booths or Tabernacles! This celebration is a reminder to look to heaven and remember we are seated with Christ in heavenly places.
When the Israelites came from the wilderness they lived in booths or tabernacles they had to put up and down for 40 years as they traveled. In their vulnerability God was with them! He met their every need and He meets ours! This is a time of rest ! It is a time of learning to remain ascended in Christ as He fulfilled every need for provision, protection and acceptance in his atoning sacrifice for our sin.
The Feast of Sukkot is stated here in Leviticus 23:34-36
“And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, Speak unto the children of Israel, saying, The fifteenth day of this seventh month shall be the feast of tabernacles for seven days unto the LORD. On the first day shall be an holy convocation: ye shall do no servile work therein. Seven days ye shall offer an offering made by fire unto the LORD: on the eighth day shall be an holy convocation unto you; and ye shall offer an offering made by fire unto the LORD: it is a solemn assembly; and ye shall do no servile work therein.”
Jesus fulfilled the Feast of Sukkot or Tabernacles when He spoke these words at the end of the feast. In
John 7:38-39, “He that believeth on me, as the scripture hath said, out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water. (But this spake he of the Spirit, which they that believe on him should receive: for the Holy Ghost was not yet given; because that Jesus was not yet glorified.)”
In celebration and honor we are called to sow a holy offering unto the Lord during this feast. Deuteronomy
16:16-17 which reads, “Three times in a year shall all thy males appear before the Lord thy God in the place which he shall choose; in the Feast of Unleavened bread (Passover), and in the Feast of Weeks (Pentecost), and in the Feast of Tabernacles: and they shall not appear before the Lord empty:Every man shall give as he is able, according to the blessing of the Lord thy God which he hath given thee.”
Consider sowing your offering so that you can bless the Lord as He has blessed you!
He says these 7 Blessings become ours during the Feast of Tabernacles from Joel 2:23-32 with financial abundance, double portion, restoration, miracles, God’s divine presence, Blessings on sons and daughters, and everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved or delivered.
