Number of sacrifices
Tabernacles (Sukkot) is the last of the pilgrim festivals, the celebration of the final in-gathering. Therefore we see its prophetic significance as the in-gathering of all the nations, to Jerusalem and to the Lord.
Eventually the prophets combined the two symbols of God’s presence (light and water) and applied them to the Feast of Tabernacles in the Millennial Kingdom.
Today is another double holiday. Last night at sundown the weekly Shabbat started. And today is the 8th and last day of Sukkot which is to be a solemn assembly with LOTS of sacrifices.
Yeshua celebrated the feast of Tabernacles and used symbols of light and water to declare who He was – Israel’s Good Shepherd.
Water was crucial during Israel’s journey, first the parting of the Sea and then as they trudged through the desert.
There was a full moon the day Israel left Egypt. But the pillar of fire of God gave them light and protection.
Through Israel’s journey, one of the ways God revealed Himself was as a Good Shepherd to guard, protect, provide and to bring them into perfect rest.
The wave offering of the branches symbolized their gratitude for God’s faithfulness in providing plentiful harvests all year.
At sundown October 10th, the Feast of Tabernacles (Sukkot) begins. Succoth is the last of the feasts of the fall, and completes the Levitical cycle. This is a double holiday as it’s also the start of the Shabbat.
