Happy Sabbath… and Chag Sukkot Sameach! 🤍🕊️🤍
Last night, two of God’s appointed times walked in the door together.
The Sabbath arrived… and the Feast of Tabernacles arrived with her.
The more I studied Sukkot this week, the more one word kept coming back to me:
JOY.
God actually commanded His people to rejoice during this feast.
Not mostly joyful.
Not joyful if the year went well.
Altogether joyful.
Then I started digging into the feast Yeshua (Jesus) Himself kept…
Water was poured out at the temple.
Great lamps illuminated the celebration.
Right there, during this feast, Yeshua cried:
“…If anyone thirsts, let him come to me and drink.”
Then He said:
“…I am the light of the world.”
Water and light… and He pointed beyond both symbols to Himself.
There was one more connection that stopped me completely…
Siloam.
The pool connected with the feast’s water ceremony.
The pool whose name means Sent.
The One sent by the Father sent a blind man there…
and he came back seeing.
Then I followed the thread from the wilderness, to Yeshua, to Zechariah, all the way to Revelation… and suddenly Sukkot looked even more beautiful.
The temporary shelter is the whole message.
Everything I can build in this life is temporary…
but everything temporary is held by an eternal God who chose to dwell with His people.
I wrote the whole journey in today’s Sabbath Diaries… including the water, the light, Siloam, the nations coming to Jerusalem, and the day when God’s dwelling place will finally be with us forever.
🤍 THE SEASON OF JOY 🤍
