The Feast of Tabernacles Command of Yahweh
The Feast of Tabernacles or Sukkot was initially introduced to the Hebrews during their forty year sojourn in the wilderness of sin after being set free from Egyptian bondage. Yahweh instructed the Israelites to observe the Feast of Tabernacles by building and living in booths or tents for seven days when leaving Egypt. Yahweh dwelt with His people and taught them of His ways as they celebrated these days. Yahweh manifested Himself among them in a visible and external manner while they were in the wilderness and sojourned in a cloud along with them, His very presence made known to all! Yahweh’s command to observe the Feast of Tabernacles is clearly in the Bible and can be found both in the Old Testament (Leviticus 23:34) and the New Testament (John 7:37) where Yahweh’s own Son, Yahshua the Messiah, observed and obeyed! If you confess or profess to be a real Christian, don’t you think you should follow the Savior’s example and be a true role model as Christian?
The Feast of Tabernacles pictures the seventh millennial day or 1,000 year period of human history – coming just ahead of us. Yahshua the Messiah indicated strongly that His life in the flesh was a foretaste of His future return in all power to dethrone Satan the devil and, once again keep this Feast with His people (John 1:14). The Feast of Tabernacles is a time of rejoicing , a time to hear the truth of Yahweh’s Word; learning how to live according to His Word as His saints. It is a time for deeper examination of the truth of His Word and a time to come together and become closer as people of Yahweh; for we are striving toward citizenship in the coming Kingdom of Yahweh, with Yahshua Messiah as the King! This is not a hope or a dream. This was a promise from Yahshua to those who continue to obey His will according to Yahweh’s law and way until His return comes, shutting down the evil of this world and teaching the entire universe in power the truth of the Feast of Tabernacles.
The Feast is a time of togetherness for Yahweh’s people. A love that transcends any love we have ever known as human beings. To learn and display this love will show Yahweh and the world that we love His Word as much as we love each other (1 John 4:7-8). After all, how did Yahshua say that the world would identify His people? “This is how everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another (John 13:35). Before Yahshua went up to heaven to be with His Father Yahweh, He said: “Teaching them (His disciples/followers) to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I Am with you always, even unto the end of the world. Amen.” (Matthew 28:20).
