The Feast of Tabernacles

The Feast of Ingathering also called the feast of tabernacles, begins on Tishri 15 and ends on the 22nd. This feast memorializes the wandering of the children of Israel in the wilderness for forty years. We are commanded to dwell in booths for seven days, and keep a sabbath of rest on the eighth day. Although they lived in tabernacles, God (Elohim) yet provided for them. Now that we are in our comfortable homes, the booths reminds us of what God (Elohim) did for his people (Leviticus 23:33-44). We look with hope, to that day when the Lord (Yahshua) shall come and reap the harvest of the earth. The feast of tabernacles is a time of great joy (Deuteronomy 16:13-15). Booths are erected at both our homes and the House of God. We can rejoice and share with others the bounty God (Elohim) has provided us. (Nehemiah 8:9-18).
