Festivals of the Lord (7 of 7)

The Feast of Tabernacles (Booths) is the seventh and final feast of the Lord (1) and took place five days after the Day of Atonement (2). For seven days, the Israelites (3) presented offerings to the LORD (4), during which time they lived in huts made from palm branches. Living in the booths recalled the sojourn of the Israelites prior to their taking the land of Canaan (5) (Leviticus 23:43).

This feast signifies the future time (6) when Christ (7) rules and reigns on Earth. For the rest of eternity, people from every tribe, tongue, and nation will “tabernacle” or dwell with Christ in the New Jerusalem (Revelation 21:9–27).
