Feast of Tabernacles

October 17-23, 2024

"Then the eyes of the blind shall be opened, and the ears of the deaf shall be unstopped. Then the lame shall leap like a deer, and the tongue of the dumb sing. For waters shall burst forth in the wilderness, and streams in the desert" (Isaiah 35:5-6).

God's plan for mankind involves restoration—and the Feast of Tabernacles symbolizes the restoration process. The preceding Holy Days set the stage for this restoration of the creation to peace and harmony with God.

The book of John points out that when the "Feast of Tabernacles was at hand," Jesus Himself "went up to the feast" and taught at the temple in Jerusalem. This was done in observance of the final of three annual Festival seasons that are outlined in the Bible, particularly in the book of Leviticus. What does the Feast of Tabernacles mean for Christians today?

Many are surprised to learn that the Bible nowhere encourages us to celebrate Easter and Christmas. It does, however, show that God revealed a series of festivals that teach mankind about His great plan for all of us!

Our family loves to camp. When we are unable to make it to nearby state park, we will often camp in our backyard.

The Feast is over. You drive home with your thoughts consumed by the wonderful experiences, the marvelous spiritual food and the warm fellowship with old friends and new people you've met for the first time during the past eight days.

The fact that a large portion of Bible prophecy describes the Millennium proves it is extremely important to God. And the more you understand it, the more important it will be to you.

When you attend your assigned Feast site, you probably already know a lot of people from your local congregation or from other areas that are assigned to the same site.

During the Feast of Tabernacles, a man in an elevator asks you which church denomination you belong to. His floor is coming up quickly, so there's no time for a long-winded explanation—just enough for a simple explanation. What do you say?

Wow. Halfway through the Feast already, you think to yourself as the elevator doors open. How did that happen?

The best Feast of Tabernacles of my life was when my son almost died.

Only a few realize that these biblical festivals are a teaching tool God uses to reveal His plan.

Sin has cut humanity off from God and brought the ultimate penalty of death. But God has a plan to heal the broken relationship and save mankind. That plan is revealed in a series of annual reminders—the festivals of God found in the Bible.
