We\u2019re celebrating the Feast of Tabernacles on Saturday, October 10!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Hebrew word for Tabernacles is \u201csukkah\u201d which originally meant \u201cwoven\u201d and applied to the branches woven together to make simple shelters. Israel was commanded to dwell in booths like this for seven days. The booth reflects the fragility, precariousness and impermanence of life in this world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Talmud relates that in the end of days, \u201call the nations of the world will express a desire to repent, and God will judge them through the commandment of building a sukkah\u2026 He will give this single commandment to the entire world to fulfill.\u201d (Babylonian Talmud, Avoda Zara 3)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Jesus used the feast as a venue to announce Himself as the Light of the World, and as the Living Water necessary for salvation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
