What do we need to be thinking about, with the Fall High Holidays so close?
Sukkot
Outreach Israel Ministries and Messianic Apologetics wish you and your family a blessed Sukkot!
The festival of Sukkot or Tabernacles (also commonly called Booths) begins on 15 Tishri and is intended to commemorate the time that the Ancient Israelites spent in the wilderness after the Exodus. Images of the post-Exodus period, God wanting Israel to remember what happened in the desert, and perhaps most importantly the need for His people to physically be reminded of His desire to commune with them, are all themes that are seen throughout one’s observance. The Feast of Tabernacles was considered to be so important in the Torah, that God gave it the distinction of being one of the three times of ingathering, along with Passover and Shavuot (Leviticus 23:39-43).
Mark and Margaret Huey, and John McKee, discuss how the Fall High Holidays have significantly impacted them, in their collective Messianic experience since 1995.
How do I celebrate the Feast of Tabernacles? My Messianic fellowship is going away to a large gathering of thousands of people and I cannot get off work.
