“Then you will say on that day, "I will give thanks to You, O LORD; for although You were angry with me, Your anger is turned away, and You comfort me. Behold, God is my salvation, I will trust and not be afraid; for the LORD GOD is my strength and song, and He has become my salvation." Therefore you will joyously draw water from the springs of salvation. And in that day you will say, "Give thanks to the LORD, call on His name. Make known His deeds among the peoples; make them remember that His name is exalted." Praise the LORD in song, for He has done excellent things; let this be known throughout the earth. Cry aloud and shout for joy, O inhabitant of Zion, for great in your midst is the Holy One of Israel.”

Sukkot/Feast of Tabernacles
15th - 21st Tishri - Leviticus 23:33-44 "Future Prophetic Fulfillment" of the Feast of Tabernacles: immediately after the somber mood of repentance and judgment that accompanies the High Holy Days, the ten-day period between the “Feast of Trumpets” (Yom Teruah), followed by the “Days of Awe” and ending with the “Day of Atonement” (Yom Kippur), there is a transition to a holiday of rejoicing and celebration. Sukkot (The Feast of Tabernacles) begins five days after “The Day of Atonement” on the 15th of Tishri (our Mid-September to Early-October timeframe). This feast is the greatest one of the year and the only one to be celebrated by all the nations during the Millennial reign of Christ on earth (Zech 14:16).
The three major lessons of the festival period are: 1. We are all sojourners – a lesson in learning that this life is only temporary and that we are on a pilgrimage to the Promise Land in eternity; 2. Our faith requires flexibility – a lesson in learning to move when God moves, the concept and difference between a “tabernacle” and a “house”, and although a house is more attractive, more durable and appealing to human habitation, yet in the house, we lose flexibility to follow the cloud (i.e. the Israelites in the wilderness), we lose sensitivity to the wind and we lose the intimate contact with the creation and the Creator, in essence, trading away spiritual reality for human security; and lastly, 3. We must remember the frailty of our own lives– like the season of fall, as is the season that the festival is observed in, when the wind rustles the leaves overhead, some will fall, as they become dry and dead, we to do fade as a leaf, and our iniquities like the wind, have taken us away (Isa 64:6). Like the “house” concept it is easy for us to feel permanent and self-sufficient and to lose sight of our very brief sojourn on the earth, while in the “tabernacle” concept it speaks of our frailty that we are but flesh, yet God is consistent in providing fresh and new every morning, as well as, Paul reminds us that “. . . if the earthly tent we live in is destroyed, we have a building from God, an eternal house in heaven,” (2 Cor 5:1).

Simchat Atzeret/Eighth Day of Sukkot
22nd Tishri - Leviticus 23:39 - "The Great Day of Salvation"
22nd Tishri - Leviticus 23:39 - "The Great Day of Salvation"
The New Heaven and the New Earth: “Then I saw a new heaven and a new earth, for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away . . . And he said to me, “It is done! I am the Alpha and the Omega, the beginning and the end. To the thirsty I will give from the spring of the water of life without payment. The one who conquers will have this heritage, and I will be his God and he will be my son.” Revelation 21:1-7

2020 October 9, Friday - October 10, Saturday 2021 September 27, Monday - September 28, Tuesday 2022 October 16, Sunday - September 17, Monday 2023 October 6, Friday - October 7, Saturday "Dual Prophetic Fulfillment & Future Fulfillment" of the Eighth Day:
Mary waited the prescribed 40 days for her purification (Lev 12:1-4) from the blood of childbirth before presenting her son, Jesus at the Temple ("And when the time came for their purification according to the Law of Moses," Lk 1:22-38). It was Thursday, Tishri 21, of the Jewish year 3756 or our October 23, 5 BCE. The Jewish people call the day Hossana Rabba or “The Great Day of Salvation” ("my eyes have seen your salvation that you have prepared in the presence of all peoples, a light for revelation to the Gentiles, and for glory to your people Israel,” Lk 2:30-32). It is the last day of the Feast of Tabernacles (Sukkoth). The “Dual Prophecy” continues, The Eighth Day (Hossana Rabba or “The Great Day of Salvation”) was also given by God to teach us how things will be following the Messianic age of the Millennium when the world will enter into eternity (Isa 66:22-23), again, corresponding to the “eighth day” of the Feast of Tabernacles (our Mid-September to Early-October timeframe). Though connected to Tabernacles, the “eighth day” is technically not part of it because the “appointed time” of Tabernacles lasts for only seven days, however, the “eighth day” is a Sabbath day, a day known in prophecy as the day of the Great White Throne Judgment when heaven and earth pass away and ends with God creating a new heaven and earth (Rev 20:11-21:1). The mystery of the “eight day” is that it represents the beginning of a new cycle. Jesus spoke of this day, in Matt 25:35-36, “Heaven and earth will pass away, but My words will not pass away. But of that day and hour no one knows, not even the angels of heaven, nor the Son, but the Father alone.” Hoshana Rabbah is the day on which the judgment
that was sealed on Yom Kippur is "delivered." The Day of the Lord is the primary subject of the Book of Revelation, as the Apostle John was in the Spirit on the Lord’s Day. It is in this Day that he is describing events that occur throughout the day, following the “Day of Atonement”, a day of warnings, judgments, resurrection of the dead (Hosea 6:2, Rev 20:4-6), binding of Satan (Rev 20:1-3), marriage supper of the lamb (Rev 19:6-10 and 21:9-27), and the reign of Christ on earth (Zech 14). It is this day, The Day of the Lord, the “eighth day”, a Sabbath, that he accounts the release of Satan to deceive the nations again (Rev 20:7-8), Heaven and earth passing away (Rev 21:1), the great white throne judgment taking place (Rev 20:12-15) and God creating a new heaven and earth (Rev 21:1-8).
Jesus Promises Living Water: “On the last day, the climax of the festival (the Feast of Tabernacles . . . the Eight Day, “The Great Day of Salvation”), Jesus stood and shouted to the crowds, “Anyone who is thirsty may come to me! Anyone who believes in me may come and drink! For the Scriptures declare, ‘Rivers of living water will flow from his heart.’” John 7:37-38
