What is Chanukah?
Category: Appointments With God
Shmeni Atzeret (Convocation of the Eighth Day) pictures a just God beyond human understanding. His goal is that all of mankind be with Him.
Sukkot day 7 — The three great pilgrimage festivals of Israel — Passover, Pentecost and Tabernacles — are prophetic of the Day of the LORD harvest of souls, when the divine command goes forth for mankind to stand before God.
Sukkot day 3 — The annual seven-day festival of Tabernacles, סֻכּוֹת Sukkot in Hebrew, is the feast all about the final, great ingathering of people into the Kingdom of God.
In the modern world we are living in, there are certain things that Messiah said that are targeted to us and our time.

Sovereignty of God
Sukkot day 2 — There are more than 7 billion souls on earth now, yet only a very, very small number are keeping the Festivals of God. Why did God call you to this truth? Because you’re so special? Because of your righteousness? No. It’s because God is in charge.
Only the Holy Spirit can reveal the sovereignty of God. He is sovereign is His power, delegation of that power to others, love and mercy, which was displayed when God “tabernacled” with mankind in the flesh of Yeshua the Messiah.
Symbolism of the various offerings for God’s appointed time of סֻכֹּת Sukkot (Tabernacles) reveals the changes of heart each person and ultimately all nations will bring to God on the Day of the LORD.
We are supposed to bring God offerings — everything that we are — in joy, without grumbling or complaining and not expecting anything in return.
Most Christians interpret Rom. 7:6 to mean that the Torah has been cast aside and that we don’t have to live by the rules of the Torah anymore. Life does not come from the letter of the Law — and it never did.
We deserve death under God’s holy law, but Yeshuah the Messiah gives us life to live the law with a new “heart.” That’s the message of יום כיפרים Yom Kippurim, the Day of Atonement.
