Introduction To The Feast Of Tabernacles
The Feast of Tabernacles
The Feast of Tabernacles is one of
the seven annual biblical festivals (holy days) of God, introduced to Israel at
the time of the Exodus (see Leviticus chapter 23).
LEVITICUS 23 : 34
“Say to the Israelites: ‘On the fifteenth
day of the seventh month the Lord’s Festival of Tabernacles begins,
and it lasts for seven days.
so your descendants will know that I had
the Israelites live in temporary shelters when I brought them out of Egypt. I
am the Lord your God.’”
What does the Feast of Tabernacles
represent?
It is a fall festival, celebrating
the abundance of God’s blessings in connection with the
ingathering of the fall
harvest.
It
is also a memorial of the Exodus, when the Israelites wandered in the
wilderness, living in tabernacles, or tents, en route to the Promised
Land. It is, therefore, a representation of faith in God’s protection and
promises.
In addition, the Feast of
Tabernacles looks forward to the great in gathering of believers after the
return of Christ, during the time of His millennial rule on earth.
AMOS 9 : 13-15
“The days are coming,” declares the LORD, when the reaper will be overtaken by
the plow man and the planter by the one
treading grapes. New wine will drip from the mountains and flow from all the hills, and I will bring my people Israel back
from exile.“They will rebuild the ruined cities and live in them .They will
plant vineyards and drink their wine ; they will make gardens and eat their
fruit.I will plant Israel in their own land,
never again to be uprooted from the land I have given them ,” says the LORD your God.
