Leviticus 23 Commandment for Tabernacles

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. You shall dwell in booths for seven days. All who are native Israelites shall dwell in booths, 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.'"

Okay, so this is the commandment for the Feast of Tabernacles. It's very clear. It's very point-blank on the rules and the regulations here. And so let's read it. It said, "Then the Lord said to Moses, saying, 'Speak to the children of Israel and say to them, the fifteenth of the seventh month, which is tonight, shall be the Feast of Tabernacles for seven days to the Lord.'"

Okay, so we'll stop there. It says, "Speak to the children of Israel." My friends, my Christian friends, you are a child of Israel.

How do we know that? Well, Paul says in Galatians 3:26-29, he's talking about the Abrahamic covenant and he says in the Mosaic covenant, the differences of those. And he says, "If you are a seed of Christ, we all are, then you are a seed of Abraham." Wow. And you're heirs according to the promise. Well, what's the promise? The promise is the Abrahamic covenant. So, if you're a seed of Christ, you are a seed of Abraham. Well, my friends, if you're a seed of Abraham, you're a seed of Isaac. You're a seed of Jacob, whose name was Israel. So, seed of Israel. So, Christians, you are a seed of Israel. You just have to understand what Paul is saying here. And that means to get into alignment, not out of alignment, in alignment with Him. We've got to understand what Paul is saying, because we've got too many believers out there thinking that they don't have to worship the right way, because they think Paul said something that he never did.

And we've got to take Paul for what he says, or don't read him at all, because like Peter says, they twist the scriptures, like they do Paul, to their own destruction, is what Peter says in 2 Peter chapter 3. So, I would take Peter and understand what Peter was warning, especially the Christians about. Quit twisting Paul like a pretzel, and go and like you do the other scriptures, and go read the Torah, the prophets, the Psalms, Moses, the prophets, Yeshua. Go read Paul and get in alignment. Get into alignment with the Most High instead of trying to rebel, because that's what our Christian friends are doing. They're worshiping Him in vain, and they are in rebellion. I mean, that's what Yeshua says in the prophet Samuel as well, in 1 Samuel 15. And Yeshua says it all over the Gospels. Mark 7, Matthew 13, Matthew 5, Matthew 23, John 14, 15. He says, Matthew 19, "Keep the commandments to inherit eternal life," is what the Messiah said Himself.

So, my friends, this is very important to understand these things and to get on the trajectory. And if you're just beginning that, then hallelujah. Praise the Lord. He's opened our eyes, and now let's go on the journey with Him. And He will continue to open eyes, including myself, on all of these beautiful things. But we've got to be in alignment with Him. But this is a clear commandment. "Speak to the children of Israel. The fifteenth day of the seventh month, which is tonight, shall be the Feast of Tabernacles for seven days." You shall keep it as a feast to the Lord for seven days in the year. And how long shall it be a statute? Till the first coming? No. Till the second coming? No. Forever. In your generations, it will be a statute. Everybody, we'll be doing this in the millennial kingdom. So, just understand that this is forever. You shall celebrate it in the seventh month. You shall dwell in booths for seven days.

And this is very important, because people say, "Do I have to dwell in booths?" Well, the Lord does answer that for you. "All who are native Israelites shall dwell in the booths." 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. So, does someone have to build a sukkah in their backyard? In my personal opinion, no, they don't. It says the native Israelites, the people in Israel, Israelites have to do that so that their generations will know what happened in Egypt. So, it is very clear, and this is one of the only times that He really separates these things from the Israelites to the rest of the world, if you will. But He says, "The native-born Israelites shall dwell in the booth." For your generations may know that I made the children of Israel dwell in booths. Now, if you want to build a sukkah, please build a sukkah and please dwell in it.

It's okay. But people comment all the time, "Do we have to? Is it a law? A commandment?" And in my personal opinion, it says right here, as you can read it, "All native Israelites who are native Israelites have to dwell in booths." So, that is a commandment for the native Israelites. And it's very specific with this one of the most specific prophecies that you see. But then it does not say for the rest of people who are joining in as the one new body, one new man, me and you, or whoever. I can't speak for anybody else. For me, I don't think I have to build a sukkah. But if you're in Israel, I believe you do. I believe you have to dwell in a sukkah, just like it says there. Very specific and very clear, in my personal opinion. Elohim fervently desires to be intimate with all of His children on every one of His divine appointments. However, the Feast of Tabernacles is the ultimate culmination of all of them, as it will be when Messiah's millennial kingdom, the kingdom of Israel, will commence.
