Jeff provides an overview of the Festival of Tabernacles, which is outlined in the Bible in Leviticus 23 and Numbers 29. It is an important appointment with God, what He calls “feasts of the LORD,” because He is teaching what it means to “dwell” with God. This is also a celebration of God’s Messiah coming to dwell with mankind as God’s Salvation (John 1:14) and His promise that He will return to live here permanently (Revelation 21).
In the Tanak, the English word “dwell” is a translation of 9 different words. The most frequent Hebrew term for the English word “dwell” is yashav, which is used over 400 times. Another Hebrew word which is translated as “dwell” is shakhan or shakhen which is the root of the Hebrew word Shekinah which is the Hebrew word for the light on the mercy seat which symbolized God’s presence with Man. The Apolstolic Scriptures also tell us that God longs to have his Presence dwelling with us, not just in the form of His Messiah, but of His own accord. From Genesis to Revelation, Jeff explains how God has longed to dwell with Mankind and the lengths He has gone and will go to make it a reality.
Richard Agee explains why the 15th day of the seventh month on God’s calendar factored so heavily in the history of God’s people and why it will in the future. The first day of the Feast of Tabernacles, called Sukkot in Hebrew, looks back to when God set up His kingdom on earth with the tabernacle and temple of Israel, the arrival of Messiah Yeshua (Jesus) on earth and the promised time when God Himself comes and sets up His government, His kingdom, on earth (see Zechariah 14).
Richard Agee connects the solo work of the high priest in the tabernacle of Israel on the Day of Atonement (Yom Kippurim in Hebrew for “Day of Coverings” ) with the solo work of Messiah Yeshua in covering over our sins (not living up to God’s instructions), transgressions (willfully disobeying God) and iniquity (outright rebellion against God). His doing so prepares us for God’s presence to be among us, as celebrated during the Festival of Tabernacles (Sukkot in Hebrew for “booths” or “shelters”).
