Stable is Sukkot

“And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.” (John 1:14)

We know Jesus/Yeshua wasn't born on December 25; they day that the sun gods are remembered! Many scholars believe He was born during the Feast of Tabernacles. Interestingly the Hebrew word “stable” is Sukkoth (Gen. 33:17).

In John 1:14, the word “dwelled” is literally “tabernacled” in the Greek – and this comes as the climax to John’s “version” of the story of the Messiah’s incarnation.

Feast of Tabernacles is a week-long fall festival commemorating the 40-year journey of the Israelites in the wilderness. The word Sukkot means “booths.” It is when we remember that God/Yahweh Tabernacled or dwelt with His people. Sukkot is also known as "Our Season of Joy". - by Torah4Today
