TRANSCRIPT
PART 5UNDERSTANDING the
FEAST OF TABERNACLES
Lev 23:24 Speak unto the children of Israel, saying, In the seventh month, in the first day of the month, shall
ye have a sabbath, a memorial of blowing of trumpets, an holy convocation.
27 Also on the tenth day of this seventh month there shall be a day of atonement: it shall be an holy
convocation unto you; and ye shall afflict your souls, and offer an offering made by fire unto the Lord. 28 And ye shall do no work in that same day: for it is a
day of atonement, to make an atonement for you before the Lord your God.
34 Speak unto the children of Israel, saying, The fifteenth day of this seventh month shall be the feast
of tabernacles for seven days unto the Lord.
Deut 16:13 Thou shalt observe the feast of tabernacles seven days, . . .
14 And thou shalt rejoice in thy feast, thou, and thy son, and thy daughter, and thy manservant, and thy
maidservant, and the Levite, the stranger, and the fatherless, and the widow, that are within thy gates.
15 b . . . because the Lord thy God shall bless thee in all thine increase, and in all the works of thine hands,
therefore thou shalt surely rejoice

Christians . . .To explain it, we need to go to answer the
question . . .

in late December!
Some say . . . We can’t know. But perhaps . . .
Luke 1:5 Zechariah, father of John the Baptist, was a priest of the order of AVIYAH
In 1 Chron 24 . . . Priest of AVIYAH served in the temple on the 8th course . . .

Luke 2 – Mary brought for her child and “Laid him in a MANGER”
Greek word for manger: PHATNE
“manger, stall, stable, temporary shelter”
Hebrew equivalent of phatne: SUKKAH (Tabernacle)
Gen. 33:17 – Jacob made sukkahs for his cattle.
During Feast: no rooms at inn . . . But sukkahs everywhere!
Luke 2:7: “And she brought forth her firstborn Son, and wrapped Him in swaddling cloths, and laid
Him in a SUKKAH”
CELEBRATING TABERNACLES
On that FEAST OF TABERNACLES . . .
The GLORY of GOD came into that Sukkahand YAHSHUA HA MESSIAH was born!
CELEBRATING TABERNACLES
Jesus Gave a Promise at Tabernacles
Jn 7:37-38: On the last day of the feast, Jesus said in a loud voice, “If anyone is thirsty, let him come to
me and drink.
Whoever believes in me, streams of living water will flow from his innermost being!”
UNDERSTAND THE CONTEXT
CELEBRATING TABERNACLES
Key Element of Tabernacles: OUTPOURING!
HIGH POINT of entire cycle of Appointed Times.
Every Year at Tabernacles . . .
The High Priest performed Prophetic Act.
The Priest brought water from the pool of Siloam and carried it up the temple to pour it out!
An Appeal for latter rain! (natural)
An appeal for Outpouring of the Spirit (Spiritual Rain)
“I will pour out My Spirit on all people. Sons and Daughters will prophesy,
your old men will dream dreams, young men will see visions.”
REPEATED EVERY DAY DURING THE FEAST
CELEBRATING TABERNACLES
John 7:37-39
“On the last day, the great day of the feast . . . “
The priest again brought water from pool of Siloam and carried it up the temple to pour it
out beside the altar.
Jesus stood and cried out saying, “If any man is thirsty, let him come to Me and drink!”
“He who believes in Me . . . From his innermost being shall flow RIVERS of LIVING
WATER!”
That’s His GOAL: OVERFLOWING LIFE!
CELEBRATING TABERNACLES
That’s why God set APPOINTED TIMES
. . . to release His LIFE to US.
• He wanted to remind us of His great deeds in the past to build our FAITH.
• He wanted to remind us of promises for the future to give us VISION!
• He desired to do spiritual transactions in us to break Satan’s power over us.
• He wanted to link us into His cycle of “ever increasing” blessing!
TO DO THAT . . . HE NEEDED TO ALIGN OUR LIVES WITH HIS RHYTHM!
CELEBRATING TABERNACLES
It is not a SIN to miss your APPOINTED TIMES!
It’s not a legalistic thing! But God’s times do enable our lives to RESONATE with His timing
They cause us to be in sync with God’s rhythm!They help us be at the right time and right place!They help us not to miss windows of opportunity!
They allow God to bring us to a new level!
As you meet with God in His Appointed Times, you
begin to experience the
ISSACHAR ANNOINTING
1 Ch 12:32 from Issachar, men who understood
the times and knew what Israel should do —200
chiefs, with all their relatives under their
command;
