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”).
The seventh month of God’s calendar has three appointments with Him that follow in quick succession — Feast of Trumpets to Day of Atonement to Feast of Tabernacles. Richard Agee explores Exodus 29-30 how the calling and the santification of the High Priest coincides with the calling and sanctification of the Messiah.
Richard Agee explains that the Day of Blowing Trumpets, commonly known as Rosh Hashanah, is the start of the cycles of seven found throughout the Bible referring to “rest” (the Hebrew words for both “rest” and “seven” are similar): seventh day of the week is the day of rest, the Shabbat (Gen. 2:3; Ex. 20:8-10); every seventh year the land must rest (Ex. 23:11); seventh group of seven years, or the Jubilee (Lev. 25).
