Good Morning Beloved,
Feast of Tabernacle . " The Lord spoke to Moses saying; 15th day of the 7th month shall be the feast of tabernacles for seven days unto the Lord." ( Leviticus 23: 33-34)
The 7th month is Tishri on the Hebrew calendar.( for Gentiles it is mid Sept-Oct) The # 7 is perfection or complete. Seven days ye shall offer an offering made by fire unto the Lord: on the 8th day shall be a holy convocation unto you, ( convocation: an assembly; an ecclesiastical or academic assembly)
The # 8 is new beginnings ( also on the 8th was the day of circumcision of every male born)
These are just my thoughts in bold. Maybe I am wrong but then maybe not. The number 7 is the # for perfection, right? Well, we all know that only one was ever perfect. Now for the number 8 , it is for new beginnings ,correct? Well when do we get that new beginning? I believe it is when we are baptized. We are circumcised at that time and grafted into the Vine.
This is when we become the sons of God .( 1 John 3:1-2)
Zechariah 6:12; " Behold the man whose name is The BRANCH." He will come from Israel and shall build the temple. Zechariah 14: 3-4 ,16-19. Please go and read right now....PLEASE go and read these passages. I use the King James Bible. I am waiting for you to finish reading.... Ready?
His feet shall stand in that day upon the Mount of Olives. To do what? KEEP THE FEAST OF TABERNACLES. This has NOT happened yet. 2 Peter 1:14 " knowing shortly I must put off this my tabernacle. ( his body) v. 16; Peter is telling you that it is not a fable , there were eyewitnesses to Jesus majesty. Now go to Mark 9: 1-5. PLEASE, go and read this ... It is about the Transfiguration.
Could it be that Peter saw into the future about the feast of tabernacles? It was a time of celebration of GOD tabernacling with His people. In John 8: 12, Jesus tells them at the Feast of Tabernacles that He is the Light of the world. The songs they would sing during this feast were from Psalms 113- 118 and on the last day of the feast they would do the " Jericho" march around the alter 7 times .. Now, go and read John 7:2, 14,37-38.. Please you must go and read...
During this festival people would sing Isaiah 12:3.." Therefore with joy shall ye draw water out to the wells of salvation." Yeshua ( is the Hebrew word for salvation) cried out to the people to " come unto Him to drink. John 7: 37-38.
Now to show you in scripture how Jesus was born during the Feast of Tabernacles. Lets start with John the Baptist. Go to Luke 1: 5,8-9. Abia is the 8th course. Check out 1 Chronicles 24: 10. Now the religious year began at the 1st of Nisan; 2 weeks before Passover, ( about April) and Abia was the 8th ( about 2 months April 1 to June 1) BUT ALL the Priests had to serve during Passover so that puts the 8th week to 9th week or 2 weeks of June and that would be the Feast of Shavot or Pentecost. Look at Luke 1: 10-11 So Zacharias served 2 weeks in a row. First week at The Feast and then he served his 8th week at the Temple. When he was finished serving Zacharias went home and his wife Elizabeth conceived . Luke 1: 23-24. So when Zacharias went home till five months passed would have been mid June to mid November. One month later an angel appeared to Mary ( Luke 1: 26,35-36. So Yeshua is conceived during Chanukah ( the Jewish Festival of Lights). Mary goes and stays with Elizabeth for 3 months. This takes you to the time of Passover, when John the Baptist is born.
So, Mary conceives in December and delivers in September at the time of The Feast of Tabernacles.
( Read Luke Chapter 2, it is about the birth of Jesus Christ)
Please remember : Smile it is a free gift from God for you to share with all you meet... God Bless you today! Your sister in Christ Jesus, vickie
