Hi Doug and everyone else:

It has been a while since I’ve posted but your article caught my attention. I agree with the general theme of what he is saying about what the feast of Tabernacles (Sukkot) represents but he doesn’t really get to the meat. It needs a bit of polishing up to bring up the clarity and much more specific points which I’m about to bring up. For the sake of time, I’ll try to keep it as short as possible. All of the feasts (Unleavened bread, Pentecosts, Sukkot) were given in the Old as signs so that in the future when a major event on earth occurred it would be associated with a feast and Hashem’s people would recognize or associate the event with the meaning of the feast. Keep in mind that the celestial bodies in the heavens also play an important role since the true calendar for these feast days is lunar and there is much more just on this topic. The solar calendar is Roman and I think most of us know who “changed the times” in order to confuse Hashem’s people so they would not recognize the “time” of their redemption when it would arrive. Let’s continue, for example, Yeshua’s death is the event in the New that fullfils the prophetic event of the Passover and the feast of Unleavened bread of the old. It represented freedom from being a captive of Satan(sin). Just as Moses led the Israelites from the captivity of Egypt on the Passover/Feast of Unleavened bread, Yeshua died on the same date and feast so his people could recognize that he was setting them free from captivity (dispersed from their inheritance) that is spoken of so many times which refers to sin (idolatrous practices) which is from Satan. His death was not the redemption (it was the price he paid for the bride), but made it possible, provided she was obedient to his commandments, the future redemption of a remnant (not all) of his people. Reason being for not all is there are many that have fallen into apostate religions (”Come out of her my people”). How many keep the 7th day Sabbath which, by the way, is a prophetic sign of a future event.

Now let’s get to Sukkot. The feast of tabernacles is when redemption occurs and the remnant returns to their inheritance of the perpetual Abrahamic pact which was lost in the Old due to idolatry (1kings11, 2kings17). The last day is the 8th day (22nd day of the feast) and represents a day of solemnity. It is a sabbath. That prophetic day is prophetically fulfilled in the year beginning 1 Tishri 5776 (2015) which is the beginning of a Jubilee (means return to your possession or redemption in the earthly kingdom) of Jubilees (50 forty-nine year periods)since the first Jubilee (3326) after the restoration of the second temple Zorababel/Ezra/Nehemia. Another point. The following year is 5777. Three sevens in a row. The number 7 represents completion. As a good study assignment, investigate some more signs such as to eclipses of the moon and the sun around those specific dates. It may amaze you.

A little off topic, but my mother used to always make Sukkotash which is a common dish in south Louisiana. She new nothing about Scripture and much less about Sukkot. If anyone has any clue or info concerning this dish and it’s origin, please advise.

Blessings in your search for Truth.
