Here’s an interesting article on one of the less-referenced holidays in the Bible:
Today, on the 15th of October, 2008, Jewish people around the world are celebrating Sukkot (the Feast of Booths or Tabernacles). Once again a nation is remembering how God provided for ancestors under the severe conditions of a barren wilderness.
For the people of Israel, this seventh and last of an annual cycle of Jewish holidays looks not only to the past, but to the future as well. Together the 7 ancient holy days of Israel tell the story of the most important events of human history and prophecy.
Ever since the days of Moses, observant Jewish people have seen in these times of celebration a rich picture of God’s provision. And ever since the first century, followers of Jesus have seen not only evidence of God’s ability to provide, but of the coming of His long-awaited Messiah.
