Brother Gideon Levytam brings us to Sukkot, the Feast of Tabernacles, in Leviticus 23:33-43. It is the seventh and final feast of the LORD. It was given as a feast of rejoicing, and no one could rejoice before a holy God without atonement. So blood was shed on every day of the feast. The offerings commanded in Numbers began with thirteen young bullocks and fell by one each day, seventy in all. They stood for the seventy nations descended from Noah's sons, because God had the redemption of every nation in mind. For seven days Israel dwelt in booths, sukkot (סֻכּוֹת), the word that gives the feast its name. The roof was left open to the sky, and there they remembered how God brought them out of Egypt. The booth speaks to every believer of the faithfulness of God, and of the thanks owed to Him. Gideon teaches that Sukkot, the last of the feasts, points to the kingdom the Messiah will bring at His return. In that day, as the prophet Zechariah foretold, all the nations will go up to Jerusalem to worship the King and keep the Feast of Tabernacles. Yeshua will reign as King of kings for a thousand years. It is the kingdom He taught His disciples to pray for: "Thy kingdom come." At this feast He cried, "If any man thirst, let him come unto me, and drink" (John 7:37).
