• The Great Feast - The Feast of Tabernacles - Sukkot - Part 2

Yesterday we took a look a Sukkot and The Great Feast's prophetic implications pointing at Our Messiah's return. Today let's take a look at The Sukkah (singular form of Sukkot (booths)) or The Tabernacle in Scripture. Let's first look at the first time "Sukkot" is seen in God's Word:

“And Jacob journeyed to Succoth, built himself a house, and made booths for his livestock. Therefore the name of the place is called Succoth.”
‭‭Genesis‬ ‭33:17‬ ‭NKJV‬

So, Jacob built some booths or sukkot and the place he built them was named Sukkot. It just so happens that this is the first place where our ancestors stopped on the Exodus out of Egypt (Exodus 12:37). When we look at "the first shall be last and the last shall be first"(Matt 20:16) Sukkot matches up Perfectly! The first place that the Israelites stop on the Exodus at Passover was Sukkot and it is also the Last and Great Feast... interesting, right? Moving on...

Now, The Tabernacle. Let's take a look in Scripture and see what Our Father has to say about His Tabernacle:

“And let them make Me a sanctuary, that I may dwell among them. According to all that I show you, that is, the pattern of the tabernacle and the pattern of all its furnishings, just so you shall make it.”
‭‭Exodus‬ ‭25:8-9‬ ‭NKJV‬‬

God Wanted To Dwell Among His Children and He Told Them To Make Him A "Tabernacle", A "Sanctuary." Could not God Almighty dwell where He Wanted? Of course He Could, but this needed to be a Special Tabernacle because The One and True Living God Was Going To Dwell There. Just like a Special Body, The Body of Christ, would need to be made In Yeshua, Jesus, so God Could Dwell With Us. This Tabernacle or Temple, Jesus Christ's Body, just like The Prophetic 3rd Temple, would not be made with human hands as we will see shortly. One only needs to study The Tabernacle In The Wilderness a small amount to see all the signs and symbols that point to Our Savior and the foreshadowing of Yeshua, Jesus Christ The King and The Tabernacle aka The Temple aka The Temporary Dwelling Place God Himself Would Occupy, which was the human body of Yeshua, Jesus Christ. Let's take a look:

““God, who made the world and everything in it, since He is Lord of heaven and earth, does not dwell in temples made with hands.”
‭‭Acts‬ ‭17:24‬ ‭NKJV‬‬

“And the Word became flesh, and did tabernacle among us, and we beheld his glory, glory as of an only begotten of a father, full of grace and truth.”
‭‭John‬ ‭1:14‬ ‭(Young's Literal Translation 1898)

His, Yeshua's, Flesh Was The Tabernacle of God. Once Our Savior Announced "It Is Finished (John 19:30)," He Made A Way For Us To Realize We Are "Tabernacles" or "Sanctuaries" where God's Holy Spirit Would Dwell As Well! Truly Amazing. Paul let's us know this clearly and even uses the term "Sanctuary" which was used in Exodus 25:8 above. Let's take a look:

“Have ye not known that your body is a sanctuary of the Holy Spirit in you, which ye have from God? ”
‭‭1 Corinthians‬ ‭6:19‬ ‭YLT1898‬

“Do you not know that you are the temple of God and that the Spirit of God dwells in you?”
‭‭I Corinthians‬ ‭3:16‬ ‭NKJV‬‬

So... The Tabernacle in the wilderness was a Sanctuary or Temple for God, Jesus Christ's Body was a Sanctuary or Temple for God, and we also, by The Cleansing Blood of Our Savior, are "Sanctuaries" or Temples for God. We are Tabernacles, Sukkahs, or Temporary Dwelling Places For God while we are in "the flesh." The Festival of Sukkot has so much meaning because it is all about making and dwelling in "A Temporary Dwelling Place" and Dwelling With God In It. It all lines up Perfectly to give us an Amazing Picture of who we are and where we are heading! Praise Yahweh Yeshua Ha'Mashiach, God Our Father and His Son Jesus Christ for The Feast Of Sukkot and His Powerful Messages.

God Bless Everybody and have a Wonderful God-Filled Feast Day! Today we will close with a few more verses that connect with the Feast of Tabernacles and "God's Temples" and join us tomorrow as we discuss possibly the most exciting Revelation about Sukkot... Yeshua, Jesus Christ, Our Savior's Birthday!

Extra Fuel For The Soul aka God's Word:

“Jesus answered and said to them, “Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up.” Then the Jews said, “It has taken forty-six years to build this temple, and will You raise it up in three days?” But He was speaking of the temple of His body.”
‭‭John‬ ‭2:19-21‬ ‭NKJV‬‬

““He who overcomes, I shall make him a supporting post in the Dwelling Place of My Elohim (God), and he shall by no means go out. And I shall write on him the Name of My Elohim (God) and the name of the city of My Elohim, the renewed Yerushalayim (Jerusalem), which comes down out of the heaven from My Elohim (God), and My renewed Name.”
‭‭Revelation ‭3:12‬ ‭(The Scriptures 2009)

“And on the day that the Dwelling Place was raised up, the cloud covered the Dwelling Place, the Tent of the Witness. From evening until morning it was above the Dwelling Place like the appearance of fire.”
‭‭Numbers‬ ‭9:15‬ ‭TS2009‬
