It was such a joy on to watch Paul teach Harrison about the feast of tabernacles. The reason we celebrate this holiday is to remember how God provided for the Israelites in the wilderness. Maybe you are in a wilderness season right now, may hope from this holiday return to you. They built a sukkah using Harrison's camping tent. This worked because it has an opening in the top of the tent to look up. You are to put branches on top of it but not cover it completely. The reason for this is that Jewish tradition believes the Messiah will return in the clouds on this holiday.
We also followed:
Lev. 23-40-41On the first day you are to take choice fruit from the trees, and palm fronds, leafy branches and poplars, and rejoice before the LORD your God for seven days. Celebrate this as a festival to the LORD for seven days each year. This is to be a lasting ordinance for the generations to come; celebrate it in the seventh month.
Paul is teaching Harrison the prayers to say before entering the sukkah and how to wave the etrog (choice fruit from Israel) and lulav (which includes the palm, myrtle and willow branches together.
We then celebrated and had dinner together in the sukkah.
Feast of Tabernacles is a holiday of celebration. Here is a video of noah celebrating with his break dancing in the sukkah. Enjoy.. We sure did.
