SUMMARY: The Feast of Tabernacles is a festival in the Bible where God instructed the people of Israel to celebrate and sacrifice 70 bulls to represent the 70 nations. It is known as the Feast for all nations and is a time of joy and rest. Jesus celebrated the Feast of Tabernacles and during the festival, there were two main rituals: the water pouring ritual and the lighting of the temple. Jesus used these rituals to teach that he was the real deal and the consummation. He healed a man who was born blind and demonstrated his spiritual authority and power by spitting on the ground and making mud with his saliva. He then told the man to wash in the Pool of Siloam and his eyes were opened. Jesus declared himself as the light of the world and whoever believes in him will not walk in darkness but will have the light of life.

Hezekiah built a tunnel, called Hezekiah's tunnel, to bring water from the Gihon spring to the city, which emptied into the Pool of Siloam. Jesus referenced the Pool of Siloam when he healed the blind man, proclaiming himself as the one sent to bring new life. The religious leaders didn't like this because they couldn't perform such miracles. In the future, there will be a worldwide tabernacle feast where all nations will come to Jerusalem to celebrate. This is our destiny in the Kingdom of God.


The Feast of Tabernacles. It is in the Bible in the book of Leviticus. God told the people of Israel to celebrate these festivals and told them to do so during the Feast of Tabernacles so that they would sacrifice 70 bulls. And why did he ask you to sacrifice 70 bulls? Because there were 70 nations in Genesis chapter 10 and then the Jewish people of those times understood that the 70 bulls represented the 70 nations. So the Feast of Tabernacles is known as the Feast for all nations and one day everyone will go to Jerusalem and celebrate.

And let's celebrate when the Messiah comes, and in Jerusalem they've been doing it since 1980 and tonight we want to share with you a little bit about that. Because Jesus, he celebrated the Feast of Tabernacles and if he did it, we can do it too. Amen.
