Feast of Tabernacles

Mark Your Calendars Now for Next Year's Feast of Tabernacles - Year of Jubilee 25th Anniversary Celebration: September 30 - October 3, 2004

Overview

Son Life Church hosts a yearly fall festival during the season known as the Feast of Tabernacles. Tabernacles is one of the three yearly celebrations which God commanded the nation of Israel to keep. Passover, the first festival season, commemorated the Exodus event and was fulfilled in Christ, our Passover lamb. The second Bible celebration occurred 50 days after Passover and was known as Pentecost. Pentecost was fulfilled in the book of Acts when the Holy Spirit was poured out upon the Church. The final festival took place on the seventh month of the religious calendar, in the fall of the year after the final harvest. God commanded the Israelites to build temporary dwellings made of the branches of trees. These booths or tabernacles would remind them that God would provide for his people a shelter. Many features of this feast are prophetic in nature. For example, the fullness of God dwelling with man and the full harvest at the end of the age are promises to which the church is still pressing. Because the spiritual significance of this feast is so rich and laden with covenant blessings, Son Life Church hosts a yearly conference during the season of the Feast of Tabernacles. Each year special speakers are invited, booths are erected, and all registrants spend several days feasting on both natural and spiritual food.
