Of all the three major feasts that the Lord commanded the Children of Israel to observe forever, probably the least understood is the Feast of Tabernacles (Deuteronomy 16:13-15). While thousands are aware of the Lord’s Passover, and while an entire sector of Christendom is identified as Pentecostals, this glorious Feast of Tabernacles is barely noticed or mentioned.
It is unfortunate that so little is understood about this Feast, for it contains much understanding for us, especially in the latter days. By type and shadow this feast can tell us much about the end of the world, the coming of the Lord, the terrestrial ingathering of God’s people, and the resurrection. In religious history, the Feast of Tabernacles has been a prominent time for works of God. The temple of God in Jerusalem was dedicated by Solomon during this time (1 Kings 8:2). The only begotten Son of God, the Lord Jesus Christ, was born of the Virgin Mary during the Feast of Tabernacles (Luke 1:5,23,36; Isaiah 9:3,6).
The significance of the Feast of Tabernacles in the old economy was with regard to the harvest when the fruits of the field had been gathered in. Hence, it was also referred to as the Feast of Ingathering at the end of the year. The year’s agricultural cycle in the Old Testament was symbolic of the events of the dispensation of grace, which is the period of time from the first coming of Jesus until His second coming.
At our meetings, we evaluate the accomplishments and the harvest of souls throughout the year. We come together with great rejoicing bringing in the sheaves as well as setting forth programs of prophetic fulfillment for the coming year.
The fullness of the Feast of Tabernacles in prophecy will come at the end of this age. Hence the words of the Savior in Matthew 13:37-39: “He that soweth the good seed is the Son of man; the field is the world; but the tares are the children of the wicked one, the enemy that sowed them is the devil; the harvest is the end of the world; and the reapers are the angels.”
After this great harvest of souls is carried out in this time of the end of the world, Jesus Himself will return to take authority over the earth and establish His Kingdom forever. At this time, “from year to year ye shall go up to keep the Feast of Tabernacles” (Zechariah 14:16).
