Celebrating the Feast of Ingathering
We had a wonderful time camping out last weekend, as we celebrated the Feast of Tabernacles/Ingathering, aka. Sukkoth, with friends new and old. We also helped our local congregation to build a little sukkah the weekend before in front of the church building where we meet at. They said that they build it there every year and leave it up for a couple of weeks to serve as a testimony for all who see it.
You may go here to read more about why we, as New Covenant Gentile believers in Jesus as our Messiah, Celebrate the Feast of Tabernacles. Also, my dear friends Carla and Jenny have recently written lovely posts about this holy day as well, also known as Messiah's Feast, here and here.
A time for worshiping our King under the sukkah... this little guy was gettin' his boogey on!
And I heard a loud voice from heaven saying, “Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and He will dwell with them, and they shall be His people. God Himself will be with them and be their God.
...and for remembering Who is our shelter...
For in the time of trouble
He shall hide me in His pavilion;
In the secret place of His tabernacle
He shall hide me;
He shall set me high upon a rock.
And we're just practicing, because according to the prophet Zechariah, someday soon...
And his feet shall stand in that day upon the mount of Olives, which is before Jerusalem on the east, and the mount of Olives shall cleave in the midst thereof toward the east and toward the west, and there shall be a very great valley; and half of the mountain shall remove toward the north, and half of it toward the south. 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 TABERNCLES"
