2. Lev 23:24 Speak unto the children of Israel, saying, In
the seventh month, in the first day of the month, shall
ye have a sabbath, a memorial of blowing of
trumpets, an holy convocation.
27 Also on the tenth day of this seventh month there
shall be a day of atonement: it shall be an holy
convocation unto you; and ye shall afflict your souls,
and offer an offering made by fire unto the Lord. 28
And ye shall do no work in that same day: for it is a
day of atonement, to make an atonement for you
before the Lord your God.
34 Speak unto the children of Israel, saying, The
fifteenth day of this seventh month shall be the feast
of tabernacles for seven days unto the Lord.
3. Deut 16:13 Thou shalt observe the feast of tabernacles
seven days, . . .
14 And thou shalt rejoice in thy feast, thou, and thy son,
and thy daughter, and thy manservant, and thy
maidservant, and the Levite, the stranger, and the
fatherless, and the widow, that are within thy gates.
15 b . . . because the Lord thy God shall bless thee in all
thine increase, and in all the works of thine hands,
therefore thou shalt surely rejoice

There is a 2nd Reason Why
Tabernacles is important for
Christians . . .
To explain it, we need to go to answer the

Not Dec 25! Shepherds don’t keep flock in fields
in late December!
Some say . . . We can’t know. But perhaps . . .
Luke 1:5 Zechariah, father of John the Baptist,

Jn 7:37-38: On the last day of the feast, Jesus said
in a loud voice, “If anyone is thirsty, let him come to
me and drink.
Whoever believes in me, streams of living water will
flow from his innermost being!”
UNDERSTAND THE CONTEXT
52. CELEBRATING TABERNACLES
Key Element of Tabernacles:
OUTPOURING!
HIGH POINT of entire cycle of Appointed Times.
Every Year at Tabernacles . . .
The High Priest performed Prophetic Act.
The Priest brought water from the pool of Siloam
and carried it up the temple to pour it out!
An Appeal for latter rain! (natural)
An appeal for Outpouring of the Spirit (Spiritual
Rain)

your old men will dream dreams, young men will see visions.”
53. CELEBRATING TABERNACLES

innermost being shall flow RIVERS of LIVING
WATER!”

future to give us VISION!

break Satan’s power over us.

increasing” blessing!
TO DO THAT . . . HE NEEDED TO ALIGN OUR
LIVES WITH HIS RHYTHM!

They help us not to miss windows of opportunity!
They allow God to bring us to a new level!

begin to experience the
ISSACHAR ANNOINTING

the times and knew what Israel should do —200
chiefs, with all their relatives under their
command;
