Sukkot is known as the
“Festival of Tabernacles” and the
“Feast or Festival of Booths.”
It commemorates the Israelites living in booths, or tabernacles {tents} for forty years when they left slavery in Egypt, and
God dwelt, with them!
SEE WBS #60/THE GLORY CLOUD OF GOD
For Sukkot, each observant family is commanded to build a temporary shelter, a sukkah, and dwell in it for the length of the 8-day festival. Some people set up a tent to dwell in during this time, while others build more elaborate, temporary structures. The structure can be as simple as a square or rectangle top and four legs. The walls of the sukkah are usually some kind of fabric.
Some eat their meals and camp out in it each night of the festival.
Sukkot/Tabernacles has been intermediately fulfilled in a sense that with the Messiah’s birth
and earthly ministry,
God came back to earth and temporarily dwelt or tabernacled with us in the person of Jesus Christ. Jesus said He would never leave us or forsake us
{His followers/believers}
so when Jesus left earth and went back to Heaven, He sent back the Holy Spirit of God to indwell our mortal bodies.
Jesus returning to dwell on earth with us again, in His eternally resurrected body, is still yet to come.
The Feast of Sukkot/Booths/ Tabernacles, points to Jesus dwelling with us again after the end times, when we will be called to a great feast with Yashua/Jesus the Messiah. The Bible calls it the Marriage Supper of the Lamb (Revelation 19:7-10) and likens it to a wedding feast. The groom is The Anointed One/the Messiah/the Christ {YAHSHUA/JESUS}
and we
{Christians/the Church} are His bride that has waited for him.
On the Last Great Day,
the eighth day
of the feast,
Yashua/Jesus returns to earth to rule and reign with his people. Heaven and Earth is new and God dwells with us, and we dwell with God in newly resurrected bodies that never die! — the eternal Sukkot/Tabernacle/Booth!
GOD DWELLING ETERNALLY IN MAN AND WITH MAN!!!
REVELATION 21:3 KJV
3/ And I heard a great voice out of heaven saying, Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and he will dwell with them, and they shall be his people, and God himself shall be with them, and be their God.
In 2018, The Feast of Tabernacles/Booths {Sukkot} will
begin in the evening of Sunday, September 23 and end in the evening of Sunday, September 30.
Tabernacles {Sukkot} is one of Judaism’s three central pilgrimage festivals, along with Passover and Shavuot {known as the Feast of Weeks in English and as Pentecost in Ancient Greek}. These three holidays were set aside in biblical times for people
to travel to the ancient Temple in Jerusalem.

Leviticus 23:33-44 (NOG)
33/ Yahweh spoke to Moses, 34/ “Tell the Israelites: The fifteenth day of this seventh month is the Festival of Booths to Yahweh. It will last seven days. 35/ On
the first day
there will be a holy assembly. Don’t do any regular work.
36/ For seven consecutive days bring a sacrifice
by fire to Yahweh. On
the eighth day
there will be a holy assembly. Bring Yahweh a sacrifice by fire. This is the last festival of the year. Don’t do any regular work.37/ “These are Yahweh’s appointed festivals. Announce them as holy assemblies for bringing sacrifices by fire to Yahweh. Bring burnt offerings, grain offerings, other sacrifices, and wine offerings—each one on its special day. 38/ This is in addition to Yahweh’s days of worship, your gifts, all your vows, and your freewill offerings to Yahweh.39/ “However, on the fifteenth day of the seventh month, when you have gathered what the land produces, celebrate Yahweh’s festival for seven days.
The first and the eighth days will be worship festivals.
SEE: "JESUS, THE EVERLASTING FATHER, LEADS HIS FOLLOWERS INTO THE 8TH DAY/SABBATH FOR MAN ETERNALLY RESTING IN GOD." IN WBS #129THE EVERLASTING FATHER
40/ On the first day take the best fruits, palm branches, the branches of leafy trees and poplars, and celebrate in the presence of Yahweh your Elohim for seven days. 41/ It is Yahweh’s festival. Celebrate it for seven days each year. This is a permanent law for generations to come. Celebrate this festival in the seventh month. 42/ Live in booths for seven days. Everyone born in Israel must live in booths 43/ so that generations to come may learn how I made the people of Israel live in booths when I brought them out of Egypt. I am Yahweh your Elohim.”
44/ So Moses told the Israelites about Yahweh’s appointed festivals.
Exodus 23:1-33 (NOG)
1/The Lord continued,
“Never spread false rumors.
Don’t join forces with wicked people by giving false testimony.
2/ Never follow a crowd in doing wrong. When you testify in court, don’t side with the majority to pervert justice.
3/ Never give special favors to poor people in court.
4/ “Whenever you come across your enemy’s ox or donkey wandering loose, be sure to take it back to him.
5/ Whenever you see that the donkey of someone who hates you has collapsed under its load, don’t leave it there. Be sure to help him with his animal.
6/ “Never deny justice to poor people in court.
7/ Avoid telling lies. Don’t kill innocent or honest people, because I will never declare guilty people innocent.
8/ Never take a bribe, because bribes blind those who can see and deny justice to those who are in the right.
9/ “Never oppress foreigners. You know what it’s like to be foreigners because you were foreigners living in Egypt.
10/ “For six years you may plant crops in your fields and harvest them, 11/ but in the seventh year you must leave the land unplowed and unused. In that way the poor among your people will have food to eat, and wild animals may eat what the poor people leave. You must do the same with your vineyards and olive groves. 12/ “For six days you will do your work, but on the seventh day you must not work. Then your ox and donkey can rest. The slaves born in your household and foreigners will also be refreshed. 13/ “Be careful to do everything I told you.“Never mention the names of other gods or let them be heard on your lips.
Laws for Three Festivals
14/ “Three times a year you must celebrate a pilgrimage festival in my honor.
15/ “Celebrate the Festival of Unleavened Bread: For seven days you must eat unleavened bread, as I commanded you. Do this at the appointed time in the month of Abib, because that was when you left Egypt.
No one may come into my presence without an offering.
16/ “Celebrate the Festival of the Harvest with the first produce harvested from whatever you plant in your fields.“Celebrate the Festival of the Final Harvest at the end of the year when you harvest your crops from the fields. 17/ “These are the
three times each year that all your men must come into the presence of Adonay, Yahweh.
18/ “Never offer the blood of a sacrifice to me at the same time you offer anything containing yeast. The fat sacrificed at my festivals should never be left over in the morning.
19/ “You must
bring the best
of the first produce harvested from your soil to the house of Yahweh your Elohim.
“Never cook a young goat in its mother’s milk.
Laws about God’s Messenger, Who Will Bring Israel to the Promised Land
20/ “I’m going to send a Messenger in front of you to protect you on your trip and bring you to the place I have prepared. 21/ Pay attention to him, and listen to him. Don’t defy him, because he will not forgive your disobedience. He is acting on my authority. 22/ But if you will listen to him and do everything I say, then I will be an enemy to your enemies and an opponent to your opponents. 23/ “My Messenger will go ahead of you and will bring you to the land of the Amorites, Hittites, Perizzites, Canaanites, Hivites, and Jebusites. I will wipe them out. 24/ Never worship or serve their gods or follow their practices. Instead, you must destroy their gods and crush their sacred stones. 25/ You must serve
Yahweh your Elohim,
and he will bless your food and water.
I will take away all sickness from among you.
26/ No woman in your land will miscarry or be unable to have children.
I will let you live a normal life span.
27/ “I will send my terror ahead of you and throw any nation you meet into a panic.
I will make all your enemies flee from you.
28/ I will spread panic ahead of you to force the Hivites, Canaanites, and Hittites out of your way. 29/ I will not force them out of your way in one year. Otherwise, the land would be deserted, and wild animals would take over. 30/ Little by little I will force them out of your way until you have increased enough in number to take possession of the land.
31/ “I will establish your borders from the Red Sea to the Mediterranean Sea and from the Sinai Desert to the Euphrates River.
I will put the people living in the land under your control, and you will force them out of your way.
32/ Never make a treaty with them and their gods.
33/ Never let them live in your land, or they will make you sin against me and trap you into serving their gods.”
