Sukkot – Feast of Tabernacles
The Sukkah of the Sukkot Feast!
God Came and Dwelt Among Israel
In a Sukkah from the Womb of a Virgin!
Jesus died in that Sukkah for Jew & Gentile,
Was resurrected in that Sukkah to live Forever,
With a name that is above every name for all Time!

THE WORD MAY APPEAR AS SUCCOT OR SUKKOT
Philippians 2:6-12 – Who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God: [7] But made hims
elf of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men: [8] And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross.
[9] Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name: [10] That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth; [11] And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.
Acts 4:12 – Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.
The following paragraph excerpt was taken from an article in Arutz Sheva.
It deals with a series of Fall Festivals Israel is celebrating.
“[Building the Sukkah – a temporary dwelling in which to eat, sleep and essentially live for most of the holiday – and collecting and placing the s’chach (branches or the like with which to cover it);]”
The Greek word for “Sukkot” is “Eskenosen,” and it is translated as “dwelt” in John 1:14. Jesus “tabernacled” among God’s chosen prople as the Son of God, God dwelling with them in a tabernacle of flesh.
John 1:11-14 – He came unto his own, and
his own received him not. [12] But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name: [13] Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.
[14] And the Word was made flesh, and DWELT (Sukkoted) among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.
Matthew 17:1-9 – And after six days Jesus taketh Peter, James, and John his brother, and bringeth them up into an high mountain apart, [2] And was transfigured before them: and his face did shine as the sun, and his raiment was white as the light. [3] And, behold, there appeared unto them Moses and Elias talking with him. [4] Then answered Peter, and said unto Jesus, Lord, it is good for us to be here: if thou wilt, let us make here three tabernacles; one for thee, and one for Moses,
and one for Elias. [5] While he yet spake, behold, a bright cloud overshadowed them: and behold a voice out of the cloud, which said, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased; hear ye him. [6] And when the disciples heard it, they fell on their face, and were sore afraid. [7] And Jesus came and touched them, and said, Arise, and be not afraid. [8] And when they had lifted up their eyes,
they saw no man, save Jesus only. [9] And as they came down from the mountain, Jesus charged them, saying, Tell the vision to no man, until the Son of man be risen again from the dead.
Colossians 2:9,10 – For in him dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily. [10] And ye are complete in him, which is the head of all principality and power:
John 10:24-30 – Then came the Jews round about him, and said unto
him, How long dost thou make us to doubt? If thou be the Christ, tell us plainly.
[25] Jesus answered them, I told you, and ye believed not: the works that I do in my Father’s name, they bear witness of me. [26] But ye believe not, because ye are not of my sheep, as I said unto you.
[27] My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me: [28] And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand. [29] My Father, which gave them me, is greater than all; and no man is able to pluck them out of my Father’s hand. [30] I and my Father are one. [31] Then the Jews took up stones again to
stone him.
Israel will soon spend at least three Sukkot Festivals in the vast Negev Wilderness. At the end of their stay there they will receive Jesus Christ as their Messiah and God at his Second Advent and he will deliver them from their affliction and Sukkot with them for a thousand years on the present earth and forever on the new earth following it.
Zechariah 13:8,9 – And it shall come to pass, that in all the land, saith the Lord, two parts therein shall be cut off and die; but the third shall be left therein. [9] And I will bring the third part through the fire, and will refine them as silver is refined, and will try them as gold is tried: they shall call on my name, and I will hear them: I will say, It is my people: and they shall say, The Lord is my God.
Matthew 23:37-39 – O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, thou that killest the prophets, and stonest them which are sent unto thee, how often would I have gathered thy children together, even as a hen gathereth her chickens under her wings, and ye would not! [38] Behold, your house is left unto you desolate. [39] For I say unto you, Ye shall not see me henceforth, till ye shall say, Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord.
Hosea 1:10,11 – Yet the number of the children of Israel shall be as the sand of the sea, which cannot be measured nor numbered; and it shall come to pass, that in the place where it was said unto them, Ye are not my people, there it shall be said unto them, Ye are the sons of the living God. [11] Then shall the children of Judah and the children of Israel be gathered together, and appoint themselves one head, and they shall come up out of the land: for great shall be the day of Jezreel.
Acts 2:19-21 – And I will shew wonders in heaven above, and signs in the earth beneath; blood, and fire, and vapour of smoke: [20] The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before that great and notable day of the Lord come: [21] And it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord shall be saved.
Ezekiel 39:26-29 – After that they have borne their shame, and all their trespasses whereby they have trespassed against me, when they dwelt safely in their land, and none made them afraid. [27] When I have brought them again from the people, and gathered them out of their enemies’ lands, and am sanctified in them in the sight of many nations; [28] Then shall they know that I am the Lord their God, which caused them to be led into captivity among the heathen: but I have gathered them unto their own land, and have left none of them any more there.
[29] Neither will I hide my face any more from them: for I have poured out my spirit upon the house of Israel, saith the Lord God.
Begin Excerpt from Arutz Sheva
Week-Long Sukkot Holiday Begins Monday Night
14 Tishrei 5769, 13 October 08 12:36
By Hillel Fendel
(IsraelNN.com) The seven-plus-one Sukkot holiday, which begins Monday night, features temporary dwellings, Four Species, and much rejoicing.
As per Biblical law, it lasts for seven days, and is followed immediately by a one-day holiday known as Shmini Atzeret-Simchat Torah. The first and eighth days are full-fledged holy days, while on the Six Intermediate Days most work activities are permitted.
Outside Israel, however, due to uncertainty regarding the precise dates during Talmudic times, the holiday lasts for nine days: Two full-fledged holidays from Monday night until Wednesday night, four Intermediate Days, and then two more holiday of Shmini Atzeret and Simchat Torah.
The four days between Yom Kippur and Sukkot are replete with diligent and enthusiastic preparations for the various commandments and customs of the Sukkot holiday:
Building the Sukkah – a temporary dwelling in which to eat, sleep and essentially live for most of the holiday – and collecting and placing the s’chach (branches or the like with which to cover it);
Decorating it;
Finding, examining and purchasing the Four Species – lulav (palm branch), etrog (citron), hadassim (three myrtle branches) and aravot (two willow branches);
Celebrating and commemorating the traditional Simchat Beit HaShoevah (Water Drawing Festival) ceremony of the Holy Temple;
Studying the many facets of the Sukkot holiday, such as the Seventy Sacrifices for the Nations, visiting Jerusalem, and – this year – re-enactments of the dramatic Hak’hel (Gather the Entire Nation) ceremony;
Completing the year-long cycle of the public weekly Torah readings on Simchat Torah;
General rejoicing.
Basic laws of the holiday can be found on the OU site and the Aish HaTorah site, and elsewhere, while more advanced and in-depth articles can be read on sites such as Har Etzion VBM.
