A Christian Festival

[CherubRam]

Festival of Tabernacles, Booths, Sukkot

Deuteronomy 31:10
Then Moses commanded them: “At the end of every seven years, in the year for canceling debts, during the Festival of Tabernacles,

Zechariah 14:16
Then the survivors from all the nations that have attacked Jerusalem will go up year after year to worship the King, Yahwah Almighty, and to celebrate the Festival of Tabernacles.

Zechariah 14:18
If the Egyptian people do not go up and take part, they will have no rain. Yahwah will bring on them the plague he inflicts on the nations that do not go up to celebrate the Festival of Tabernacles.

Zechariah 14:19
This will be the punishment of Egypt and the punishment of all the nations that do not go up to celebrate the Festival of Tabernacles.

John 7:2-10
2 But when the Jewish Festival of Tabernacles was near, 3 Jesus’ brothers said to him, “Leave Galilee and go to Judea, so that your disciples there may see the works you do. 4 No one who wants to become a public figure acts in secret. Since you are doing these things, show yourself to the world.” 5 For even his own brothers did not believe in him.
6 Therefore Jesus told them, “My time is not yet here; for you any time will do. 7 The world cannot hate you, but it hates me because I testify that its works are evil. 8 You go to the festival. I am not[a] going up to this festival, because my time has not yet fully come.” 9 After he had said this, he stayed in Galilee.
10 However, after his brothers had left for the festival, he went also, not publicly, but in secret.

The Festival of Booths, also known as Sukkot or the Feast of Tabernacles, is a seven-day Jewish holiday that celebrates the harvest and commemorates the Israelites' exodus from Egypt:
The festival begins on the 15th day of Tishrei, the seventh month of the Jewish calendar.

The 14th day of Tishri in the Hebrew calendar is the beginning of Sukkot, also known as the Feast of Tabernacles or Feast of Booths. On this day, Jews prepare for the festival by building, decorating, and covering their succas, and by acquiring the other three species and an esrog.
Tishri is a month of celebration, transition, uprooting, justice, and fruitfulness. The name Tishri means "beginning" and was originally used to refer to the 7th month after Israel's exile in Babylon.

Interesting, but your post only seems to talk about it being a Jewish festival, which it is. I am wondering why you gave the thread the title: "A Christian Festival." Are you saying that Christians should keep the Feast of Tabernacles?

The Old Priesthood has been done away with, along with all of the Sacrifices and Festival; all but this one. Tabernacles is for canceling debts and the survivors from all the nations are to keep it.

....all but this one....

Why?

 

[CherubRam]

....all but this one....

Why?

It has to do with Christ return.

What biblical basis do you have for saying that Christians should keep this feast?

The Festival has to do with Christ and his return during the reign of Christ. Read post #1 again.

I have re-read post 1, but I can see nothing there that gives a biblical command for Christians to continue keeping the Feast of Tabernacles.

Thousand year reign of Christ.
Quote: "the punishment of all the nations that do not go up to celebrate the Festival of Tabernacles."

Yes, that is an Old Testament quote concerning the nations like Egypt that had mistreated Israel. However, if Christians were intended to keep the Feast of Tabernacles, it would surely be mentioned in the epistles, particularly those epistles addressed to Gentile Christians.

Yes one new ceremonial law of the suffering of Christ beforehand and the glory that followed because of the 1st. century reformation.

1 Corinthians 11. The covering of the glory.

Anticipating the wedding supper in the new heavens and earth ..The vail lifted Christ the husband kiss of the bride .

I would offer. Same difference

I would be careful with the word Jew and Israel it can represent a unbeliever or one that has been given the saving faith of Christ by which we can understand the gospel and call on him

Romans 2:27-29King James Version And shall not uncircumcision which is by nature, if it fulfil the law, judge thee, who by the letter (death) and circumcision dost transgress the law? For he is not a Jew, which is one outwardly; neither is that circumcision, which is outward in the flesh:
But he is a Jew, (born agin) which is one inwardly; and circumcision is that of the heart, in the spirit, and not in the letter; (death) whose praise is not of men, but of God.

The father promised in Isiah 62 a new name for his bride previously calling her Israel (not all Israel is of born again Israel .Many renamed after Jacob before his name was changed to represent born again .

M named her Christina literally meaning "residents of the heaven city of Christ" prepared for his bride the church. A more befiting name to name the brsie of all the nations of the world

In the book of Revelation twice he mentions the outward Jews hoping thier dying flesh could profit , But the DNA card failed .

Revelation 2:9I know thy works, and tribulation, and poverty, (but thou art rich) and I know the blasphemy of them which say they are Jews, and are not, but are the synagogue of Satan.

Revelation 3:9 Behold, I will make them of the synagogue of Satan, which say they are Jews, and are not, but do lie; behold, I will make them to come and worship before thy feet, and to know that I have loved thee.

Like many words Satan the Racist does not have the spiritual unseen understanding .He would make a outward Jew and inward one in the same.

I would offer . it seems it is something that should be taught in Sunday School . What is a Cereinioal law? What is the purpose?

It could I believe be the cause of much confusion and affect the way we seek to understand . The seeking will continue as God gives his unseen gospel understanding ,

Christ is reigning working in us to both reveal his will and empower dying mankind to do it to His good pleasure

Ceremonial laws the suffering of Christ beforehand and the glory that followed raising from the dead .

Ceremonies as shadows where a gospel sign to the unbelieving world .Not unto themselves .

Believer have prophecy till the end of time .and do not add or subtract from sola scriptura. Jesus said it is un-converted mankind that does seek after on a sign before they believe (the I am from Missouri "show me" )

When Aarons two sons on the first day desired to offer the ceremonial sign after there own dying flesh the strange fire consumed them ,out of sight out of mind .Not a hint of smoke on the presently attire .

.Ceremonies in that way add and , subtract to the power of the word.

Same today when many believers gather together as if it was a sign unto there own dying self . They call sign gifts.. Ceremonial law represent the gospel. . to the world .drawing them to the source sola scriptura.

Satan the king of ling signs to wonder wonder wonder after as if it was true prophecy working over time today Signs as ceremonies for those who believe not prophecy .Prophecy no need to wonder.

Show time for the born again believer .

Beware of glory seekers strange fire like Nicodenmus the head of the Nicolaitans sect .Who did glory in the temporal things seen. God called his believers out and do the first works yoked with Christ both to reveal and empower .Both the key.

There is no "Christian" festival being described here. They are actually not even solely "jewish" as they are described as moedim - or appointed times. What does that mean? They are are Feasts of Yahweh.

This is incorrect. It is a quote describing the time in the future in the last millennium when ALL nations will be required to go to Jerusalem to take part in this Feast of Yahweh.

This is incorrect. There will be a fully functional temple in Jerusalem with daily sacrifices. And where these Feasts of Yahweh will be done. This is to take place in the final millennium - very likely less than 10 years from now.

 

[CrowCross]

It has to do with Christ return.

At the rapture of the Church or the Revelation 19:11/Zech 14 return of Christ?

Just curious, where is this found in the bible?

I agree. In fact even if it was hinted at christians would be debating this issue.
