Detta var en speciell tid för Israels barn. De skulle bo i lövhyddor under sju dagar, för att påminnas om hur de bodde i lövhyddor när Herren befriade dem från Egypten.
Ur ett bönebrev från en messiansk församling i Israel:
"Sukkot has tremendous relevance to us as believers in Yeshua. The
Feast of Tabernacles (Sukkot) serves to remind us of the following:
- God defended the nation of Israel as they wandered in the desert and dwelt in huts (tabernacles). In the same way God is always with us continually to defend and protect us!
- God was their healer and He provided the Israelites with supernatural health. Not a single one was found sick among them as they wandered the desert. In the same way Yeshua is our Healer today!
- God provided for the Israelites. In the desert there was no food or
water to be found, but God opened the heavens and sent the Israelites
Manna, and He split the rock and provided them with water. Just as God
provided for them in the desert, so He still provides all our needs
today!
-
The Holy Spirit led the Israelites through the desert with a cloud by day and a pillar of fire by night. As soon as it moved, the Israelites also moved and followed. This is a wonderful illustration of how God is leading us in all situations even today!
Yeshua himself also honored and celebrated the Feast of Tabernacles. In John 7:2,10 we read:
"But when the Jewish Feast of Tabernacles was near, Jesus' brothers said to him, "You ought to leave here and go to Judea, so that your disciples may see the miracles you do... However, after his brothers had left for the Feast, he went also, not publicly, but in secret."
"But when the Jewish Feast of Tabernacles was near, Jesus' brothers said to him, "You ought to leave here and go to Judea, so that your disciples may see the miracles you do... However, after his brothers had left for the Feast, he went also, not publicly, but in secret."
Yeshua also went up to the Temple during the Feast of Tabernacles in order to teach in the Temple's court:
John 7 - v14 "Not until halfway through the Feast did Jesus go up to the temple courts and begin to teach." v37 "On the last and greatest day of the Feast, Jesus stood and said in a loud voice, "If anyone is thirsty, let him come to me and drink.""
