Feast-Of-Tabernacles, also Known as the Feast of Ingathering! Lev 23:40 (ESV) Now on the first day you shall take for yourselves the foliage of beautiful trees, palm branches & boughs of leafy trees & willows of the brook, & you shall rejoice before the Lord your God for seven days. —The Feast signifies deliverance from Egypt, specifically the salvation, shelter, provision, & trustworthiness by the hand of God during the 40 years of their wandering in the wilderness. —John 12:12-15 The next day the large crowd that had come to the feast heard that Jesus was coming to Jerusalem. So they took branches of palm trees & went out to meet Him, crying out, “Hosanna! Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord, even the King of Israel!” & Jesus found a young donkey & sat on it, just as it is written, “Fear not, daughter of Zion; behold, your king is coming, sitting on a donkey’s colt!”— The triumph of Jesus brought our salvation, A final sacrifice for our total deliverance from our sins forevermore! —Rev 21:3-4 I heard a loud voice from the throne saying, “Behold, the dwelling place of God is with man.
