I put this together for those that might also be NEW TO THE FEAST OF TABERNACLES:

MATT 11: 28  Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.

Matt 11: 29 Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls

MATT 11: 30 For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light!!!

NUMBER 1 

LAY YOUR BURDENS of the WORLD ASIDE, and REJOICE, for OUR REDEEMER IS RETURNING!!!

For the NEXT 7 days is a time to commemorate and Rejoice in what you believe in:  

 THE RETURN of JESUS CHRIST as LORD and KING..

IT is a proclamation that WE are a SET APART PEOPLE, and not servant to the WORLD, but servants to the MOST HIGH GOD... AMEN and AMEN!!!

LEV 23: 2  Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them,Concerning the feasts of the LORD, which ye shall proclaim to be holy convocations, even these are “MY” feasts.

ROMANS 12: 1, 2  1 I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that you present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God, which is your reasonable service.

2 And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God.

Leviticus 23:33-43 states:
33 Then the Lord spoke to Moses, saying, 34 "Speak to the children of Israel, saying: 'The fifteenth day of this seventh month shall be the Feast of Tabernacles for seven days to the Lord.
35 On the first day there shall be a holy convocation. You shall do no customary work on it.
 36 For seven days you shall offer an offering made by fire to the Lord. On the eighth day you shall have a holy convocation, and you shall offer an offering made by fire to the Lord. It is a sacred assembly, and you shall do no customary work on it. 37 'These are the feasts of the Lord which you shall proclaim to be holy convocations, to offer an offering made by fire to the Lord, a burnt offering and a grain offering, a sacrifice and drink offerings, everything on its day —

38 besides the Sabbaths of the Lord, besides your gifts, besides all your vows, and besides all your freewill offerings which you give to the Lord.
39 'Also on the fifteenth day of the seventh month, when you have gathered in the fruit of the land, you shall keep the feast of the Lord for seven days; on the first day there shall be a sabbath-rest, and on the eighth day a sabbath-rest.
40 And you shall take for yourselves on the first day the fruit of beautiful trees, branches of palm trees, the boughs of leafy trees, and willows of the brook; and you shall rejoice before the Lord your God for seven days.
 41 You shall keep it as a feast to the Lord for seven days in the year. It shall be a statute forever in your generations. You shall celebrate it in the seventh month. 42 You shall dwell in booths for seven days. All who are native Israelites shall dwell in booths, 43 that your generations may know that I made the children of Israel dwell in booths when I brought them out of the land of Egypt: I am the Lord your God.'" (NKJV throughout, unless otherwise noted)

For the BODY of CHRIST, the FEAST of TABERNACLES is a time of CELEBRATION of a PROPHETIC EVENT to COME.
IF we BELIEVE It is in fact to come, then WHY don’t we CELEBRATE it as though it is So? 
It is celebrated with REJOICING:

What could be more appropriate than spending our time in WORSHIP and PRAISE on this FIRST DAY OF the FEAST OF TABERNACLES:

A little information about the FEAST of TABERNACLES:

It should be considered a “HOLIDAY” with these thoughts and meditations in mind.

The FEAST of TABERNACLES REPRENTS:

·      IT is a time of RENEWED FELLOWSHIP with the LORD, ie from a WORSHIPFUL HEART of being in HIS PRESENCE with gratitude and thanksgiving for all HE has done and ALL HE is going to do.

·      It symbolizes a time of dependence upon GOD’S care and sustenance.

A SIDE NOT: Most Christian’s that observe this time, seek to get away in a hotel or camp ground as an ASEMBLE of PEOPLE for seven days. I mourn and yearn for the day that WE are able to take the full 7 days away from home.)

·      In ancient Israel the FEAST of TABERNACLES became so popular that it became known as the “FEAST” or ‘THE SEASON OF JOY”.

• Sometimes know as the FEAST of the ingathering, because it was the time of the HARVEST gathering.

DURING the MILLENNIAL RULE and REIGN of JESUS CHRIST, all will be expected to attend the FEAST OF TABERNACLES:

REV 20: 3 I saw the souls of those who had been beheaded for their witness to Jesus and for the word of God, who had not worshiped the beast or his image, and had not received his mark on their foreheads or on their hands…THEY lived and reigned with Christ for a thousand years (Revelation 20:4).

ZEC 14: 16  And it shall come to pass, that every one that is left of all the nations which came against Jerusalem shall even go up from year to year to worship the King, the LORD of hosts, and to keep the feast of tabernacles.

It is important to note that The FEAST of TABERNACLES can be kept from a dwelling place that is not in JERUSALEM even today.

NEH 8: 15,  And that they should publish and proclaim in all their cities, and in Jerusalem

Deut 14: 23-24  And thou shalt eat before the LORD thy God, in the place which he shall choose to place his name there, the tithe of thy corn, of thy wine, and of thine oil, and the firstlings of thy herds and of thy flocks; that thou mayest learn to fear the LORD thy God always

DEUT 14: 24 And if the way be too long for thee, so that thou art not able to carry it; or if the place be too far from thee, which the LORD thy God shall choose to set his name there, when the LORD thy God hath blessed thee:

DEUT 14: 25  Then shalt thou turn it into money, and bind up the money in thine hand, and shalt go unto the place which the LORD thy God shall choose:

SO where can the FEAST OF TABERNACLES BE KEPT?

LEV 23: 1,4, 37 It is kept in a PLACE OF GOD’S CHOOSING:
