SUKKOT II

Today is the 2nd day of Sukkot, plural of sukkah, which is a 7days festival. It is translated as the Feast of Tabernacles or Feast of Booths. It is from Tishrei 15 to 21st. The last day, the 7th day, is called HoShanah Rabah, which means the day of the Great Supplication. And the 8th day, Tishrei 22nd, is called Shemini Atzeretz, which means the Eighth Day Assembly. For the instruction to assemble is on the 1st day and the 8th day of the Festival.And only the 1st day and the 8th day are Shabbat days.

Sukkot is the 7th of the 7 Moedim or the appointed times of Yahweh. And 7 means perfect or complete. So the 7 appointed times of Yahweh tell the complete story of the Mashiach, who is Yeshua the Nazarene. The 7 Moedim are: Passover, the feast of Unleavened Bread, the Firstfruits, Pentecost, Feast of Trumpets, the Day of Atonement and the Feast of Tabernacles. 

The 7 days of Sukkot are:
- days of rejoicing
-days of dwelling in booths
-days of "offerings"

Sukkot is also the time to celebrate the birth of the Mashiach. He was born in a sukkah and not a barn. This is the fall season in Israel and not the cold winter season. This is the time of the full moon, Tishrei 15 and the middle of the month , and so it's bright at night and  it's reasonable for the shepherds to be out in the field at night with their sheep . This would be unthinkable in the cold nights of winter.

One day, Yeshua HaMashiach will come and rule the world from Yerushalayim. That Messianic Age would be for a thousand years. Baruch Haba Bshem Yahweh.

Chag Sameach!
Happy Sukkot!
