Why Do We Keep Sukkoth
or Feast of Booths?
The
Feast of Booths or Feast of Tabernacles pictures the
Millennial Reign of Yahshua
with His saints. The earth will be abundantly blessed.
Nations shall flow to Jerusalem
to worship the King of kings, " And it shall come to pass
that everyone who is left of all the nations which came
against Jerusalem shall go up from year to year to worship
the King, Yahweh of Hosts, and to keep the feast of
Tabernacles. And it shall be that whichever of the families
of the earth do not come up to Jerusalem to worship the
king, Yahweh of hosts on them will be no rain. If the family
of Egypt will not come up and enter in, they shall have no
rain; they shall receive the plague with which Yahweh
strikes the nations of those who do not come up to the Feast
of Tabernacles. This shall be the punishment of Egypt and
the punishment of all the nations that do not come up to
keep the Feast of Tabernacles. In that day "Set-Apartness to
Yahweh" shall be engraved on the bells of the horses. The
pots in Yahweh's house shall be like the pots before the
altar. (Zech. 14: 16-19)
This feast lasts for seven days, from the 15th to the 21st
of the seventh month
(Lev.23: 34-36, 43), at the end of which there is an 8th Day
celebration called the
Great Day. This Great Day is the never-ending New Beginning.
It is a time of freedom.
Rebellious nations that refuse to celebrate the Feast of
Sukkoth will not be allowed entry into Jerusalem. [Nahum
1:15] "Behold, on the mountains the feet of him who brings
good tidings, who proclaims peace! O Yahudah, keep your
appointed feasts, perform your vows, for the wicked one
shall no more pass through you; He is utterly cut off."
During that millennium dispensation of the Feast of Sukkoth,
when utopia becomes finally reality, Truth and Justice shall
reign, supreme. Yahweh's Truth will permeate the life of the
righteous. When Yahweh's Mountain is established on top of
all other mountains, when His Temple is exalted above all
hills, nations shall flaw to Jerusalem with gladness of
heart. They shall say, "Come and let us go to the Mountain
of Yahweh, to the Temple of the Elohim of Jacob; He will
teach us His ways, and we shall walk in His paths... Out of
Zion shall go forth the Torah, Is.2: 2-4."
This time, this DAY of blessedness we announce and look
forward to in the keeping of Sukkoth until all is fulfilled,
as Yahshua said in Matt.17: 19.
