Jewish Holiday: Sukkot

YHWH||ANYAMARY||JESUSISRAEL say in agreement together,

Introduction

Sukkot is a festival not celebratory of an anniversary of a past event, like Rosh Hashanah celebrates the birth of Adam and Eve. But instead, is a symbolic time of rejoicing to bring to remembrance the protection the LORD Jehovah God of Israel in the Lord Jesus Christ provided to the Jewish people during their 40-year journey through the wilderness to the Promised-Land, known as Israel.

Sukkot commences just before sundown on Octpber 8, 2022 and ends at nightfall on October 16, 2022. No work is permitted October 14, 2022 through nightfall on October 15, 2022, as those two days are considered Sabbath Days.

During the time the Jewish people spent in the wilderness, they dwelt in collective uniform shelters. And the LORD Jehovah God of Israel in the Lord Jesus Christ provided divine protection over time through covering them with a pillar of cloud by day and a pillar of fire by night.

Today, the Jewish people are both the traditional ancestors of the Israelites of the Old Testament and the Gentile believers in the Lord Jesus Christ, the Messiah. All who lean on the Lord Jesus Christ as the Messiah for redemption, salvation, and reconciliation to the LORD Jehovah God of Israel in Him have become united together with God as His People.

It is important to realize that this day does not express a desire for the people of the LORD Jehovah God of Israel in the Lord Jesus Christ to dwell on earth without a home. But rather, the holiday expresses the exact opposite. As a home is considered the deepest human physical need that allows a person to be themselves.

Most notably, a Sukkot (“Shelter”) deals with the capacity for a collective human tolerance of all parts of the spiritual body of an imperfect people. To elevate the priority of sustaining an entire body of people, we must bring together the ordinary with the extraordinary.

Background

Every day of Sukkot, a bundle of greens are gathered together and waved before the LORD Jehovah God of Israel in the Lord Jesus Christ in six directions (up, down, north, south, east, west). This mitzvah (“commandment”) expresses thanksgiving for sustaining collectively the Jewish people for another year each day of the festival.

The scholarly and the obedient (“extraordinary”), along with a combination of the two are celebrated right alongside those that are neither (“ordinary”). The ordinary people are the part of the body of people that show up, ready and willing to offer themselves for the entire body of people to ascend into the extraordinary.
