There are a number of spiritually instructive metaphors in the use of temporary dwellings of the Feast of Tabernacles. Tom Robinson discusses five important aspects of God's instruction to "make the children of Israel to dwell in booths" as part of observing the annual Feast of Tabernacles. These are instructive metaphors that apply to us today because all aspects of our mortal lives is temporary in nature.
