The Feast Of Tabernacles: Worship The Lord In The Beauty Of Holiness

"Also on the fifteenth day of the seventh month,

nearly October, when you have gathered in the fruit of the land,

you shall keep the feast of the Lord for seven days, the first day

and the eighth day each a Sabbath.

And on the first day you shall take the fruit of pleasing trees and 
 make sukkot (booths) of them, branches of palm trees, and boughs 

of thick leafy trees and willows of the brook; and you shall rejoice 

before the Lord your God for seven days.

You shall keep it as a feast to the Lord for seven days

in the year, a statute forever throughout your generation;

you shall keep it in the seventh month.

You shall dwell in booths for seven days;

All native Israelites shall dwell in sukkot.

That your generations may know that I made the Israelites

dwell in sukkot when I brought them out of the land of Egypt.

I am the Lord your God."

Leviticus 23:39-43

Happy Sukkot 2018 - 15th of Tishrei 5779

Tonight at sundown begins the celebration of Sukkot, or

the Feast of Tabernacles, one of the three feast of the

Lord on which Jews were required to make

a pilgrimage to the temple in Jerusalem.

This year's celebration coincides with the 70th anniversary

of the re-birth of the nation of Israel in 1948, one of the greatest

fulfillment of Bible prophecy since the coming of the Messiah.

The number 70 appears 56 times in the Holy Bible.

The number 7 represents perfection while the 0, which denotes 10,

is symbolic of completeness and God's law.

Meanwhile, it is widely regarded by many Bible scholars

that America's pilgrim ancestors, who were both keen and devoted

in their daily study of God's Word, based the holiday of Thanksgiving

on the harvest-based Feast of Tabernacles.

PSALM 96

O sing to the Lord a new song;

 sing to the Lord, all the earth!

Sing to the Lord, bless and praise

 and affectionately praise His name;

show forth His salvation from day to day.

Declare His glory among the nations, 

His marvelous works among all the peoples.

For great is the Lord and greatly to be praised; 

He is to be reverently feared and worshiped

 above all so-called gods.

For all the gods of the nations are lifeless idols,

 but the Lord made the heavens.

Honor and majesty are before Him;

 strength and beauty are in His sanctuary.

Ascribe to the Lord, O you families of peoples,

 ascribe to the Lord glory and strength.

Give to the Lord the glory due His name;

 bring an offering and come into His courts.

O worship the Lord in the beauty of holiness;

 tremble before  and reverently  fear Him, all the earth.

Say among the nations that the Lord reigns; the world is established,

so that it cannot be moved; He shall judge and rule the people

 righteously and with justice.

Let the heavens be glad, and let the earth rejoice;

 let the sea roar, and all the things which fill it;

Let the field be exultant, and all that is in it! 

Then shall all the trees of the wood sing for joy.

Before the Lord, for He comes, 

for He comes to judge and govern the earth!

He shall judge the world with righteousness and justice

and the peoples with His faithfulness and truth.
