Sukkot - The Feast of Tabernacles

Sukkot or Feast of Tabernacles is the last of the Fall Feasts and is celebrated for seven days (6-13 Oct 2025). The first being Rosh Hashanah, then Yom Kippur, then Sukkot. It is also known as the Festivals of Joy, which is in contrast to the solemn 10 Days of Awe and repentance in the first two. Israel celebrates the time when God delivered them out of slavery from Egypt, protected them from sure death when the Egyptians pursued them, and supernaturally provided for them during the long time in the wilderness. They dwelt in temporary abodes, in tents or booths, which is also a picture for us, that we are here only for a short time, as temporary residents, and that this is not our permanent home! Unfortunately because of their stubborn rebellious and sinful ways, they had to wander in the wilderness for forty years, and only the second generation were permitted to cross over into Canaan, the Promised Land, led by Joshua.

Sukkot is also a shadow and type of the New Millennium, when Christ dwells on earth, with His people, for a thousand years of peace, a prelude to heaven. An incredible time of joy, peace, righteousness, prosperity and health. One thousand years of peace, no fighting, rivalry or disputes, and NO war! There will no longer be any need of hospitals, as sickness and disease will no longer be prevalent! People will live for hundreds of years, like before the flood. There will no longer be the need of law enforcement and Police, no longer the need to lock and secure anything, as righteousness will rule the land! The curse of poverty will no longer exist, prosperity and abundance will be the norm!

Wow it’s all so hard for us to imagine because we live in the complete contrast! But we too, like the Israelites, will have to face our wilderness period, and go through some extremely difficult times, before we can cross over into our Canaan, our Promised Land, the New Millennium. The scriptures constantly remind us, that only those who overcome and are victorious, and who endure to the end, will inherit the promises! Joshua was told to be bold and courageous, and not to be afraid or dismayed, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go (Joshua. 1:9), the same applies to us… S.J.
