FEAST OF TABERNACLES

Page 2: God's appointed time part 5 tabernacles acy

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.

Page 3: God's appointed time part 5 tabernacles acy

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

Trumpets is a time to break out of old and press into

the new

Let go of old forms of security

“Lord, let me find my security in YOU.”

“Lord, let me be willing to change.”

Repent of old ways of thinking

“Lord let me SHIFT from old to new.”

God says the sound of the shofar is designed to

activate something in your spirit. Ask Him to shift

you as the trumpet sounds.

CELEBRATING TABERNACLES

There is a 2nd Reason Why Tabernacles is important for

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

question . . .

“WHEN WAS JESUS BORN?”Not Dec 25! Shepherds don’t keep flock in fields

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 . . .

CELEBRATING TABERNACLES

John Describes Birth of Jesus This Way . . .

Jn 1:14 “Word became flesh and TABERNACLES among us and WE

BEHELD HIS GLORY.SHEDS NEW LIGHT ON THE CHRISTMAS STORY!

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”

Page 50: God's appointed time part 5 tabernacles acy

CELEBRATING TABERNACLES

On that FEAST OF TABERNACLES . . .

The GLORY of GOD came into that Sukkahand YAHSHUA HA MESSIAH was born!

Page 51: God's appointed time part 5 tabernacles acy

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

Page 52: God's appointed time part 5 tabernacles acy

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

Page 53: God's appointed time part 5 tabernacles acy

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!

Page 54: God's appointed time part 5 tabernacles acy

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!

Page 55: God's appointed time part 5 tabernacles acy

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

the times and knew what Israel should do —200

chiefs, with all their relatives under their

command;
