Day 1 — The Feast of Tabernacles, or Sukkot, is the third of the special appointments with God in His seventh month. With so much exactness on what is to be offered to God and when, it may surprise you how central faith is in the celebration.
People often ask, “How can I know what God wants me to do?” and “What would Jesus do?” Richard Agee explores those questions in a study of John 6-7, in which Messiah Yeshua (Jesus) explains what it means to “do the will of My Father” (John 6:40). Yeshua is the Living Word (John 1:1; John 1:14), the Living Law (Matt. 5:17-20), the Living Torah.
The accounts in the Bible about the births of Yochanan the Immerser and Messiah Yeshua (Jesus) seem to point to their being born around the times of the Biblical festivals of Passover and Tabernacles, and for very good reason based on their missions.
Point is, the Bible teaches clearly that Yeshua wasn’t born on Dec. 25.
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).
