“Then The LORD spoke to Moses, saying, “Speak to the children of Israel, saying: ‘The fifteenth day of this seventh month shall be the Feast of Tabernacles for seven days to The LORD,” Leviticus 23:33-34.

Sukkot or “Booths” is the last celebration during the Fall Feasts when the Israelites built sukkahs and took choice fruit from the trees, palm fronds, leafy branches, and poplars to decorate it, and there, they lived in their sukkahs and rejoiced before The LORD for seven days.

I always found it significant that fruit and palm branches were used to decorate these dwellings.

Christ often references the importance of ‘bearing good fruit’ throughout the Gospels, and palm branches represent victory and a time of peace.

Between 1 Corinthians 13 and Galatians 5:22-23, we find that the fruit of the Spirit is more important than the gifts.

If we understand the revelation of this, then we know that the fruit of the Spirit is the manifestation of God’s character in our lives. This is why the fruit is what actually produces heavenly reward, and not the gifts, which will pass away.

In Revelation 7:9-12, after the sixth seal, John sees a multitude of people standing before The Lamb clothed with white robes, with palm branches in their hands, rejoicing before The LORD.

When John asks who are these people, he is told they are the Saints who came out of great tribulation (persecution) and had washed their robes in The Blood of The Lamb.

Therefore, Sukkot is significant to our nearing promise of rest, in heaven, at the marriage supper of the Lamb.

But the invitation is only for those who have bore good fruit, ran the race, and finished well. These are those who have made themselves ready for the Bridegroom.

Happy High Holidays

Shabbat Shalom
