Sukkot (the Feast of Booths) memorializes Israel's time in the wilderness and prophecies of the coming of the Messiah. It is done. It is now. It is yet to come.

Mark 2:27 He said to them, “The Sabbath was made for man, not man for the Sabbath.
Hebrews 4:9 There remains therefore a Sabbath rest for the people of God.
Exodus 20:8-11 Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy. You shall labor six days, and do all your work, but the seventh day is a Sabbath to Yahweh your God. You shall not do any work in it, you, nor your son, nor your daughter, your male servant, nor your female servant, nor your livestock, nor your stranger who is within your gates; for in six days Yahweh made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that is in them, and rested the seventh day; therefore Yahweh blessed the Sabbath day, and made it holy.
Genesis 2:2-3 On the seventh day God finished his work which he had done; and he rested (Sabbath/Shabbat) on the seventh day from all his work which he had done. God blessed the seventh day, and made it holy, because he rested (Sabbath/Shabbat) in it from all his work of creation which he had done.

The Word became flesh and tabernacled among us.
John 1:14
This is a reference to #sukkot, aka The Feast of Tabernacles. Sukkot tells us of a future Exodus when all of Israel will be recalled from the nations to join Messiah. God will summon the lost sheep of the house of Israel, even those who have forgotten their identity. See Isaiah 27:12-13.
“If you are Toying with the Torah you’ve lost your remembrance of childhood and forgotten how to play.”
The Instructions of the Heavenly Father are for our benefit but not for our Salvation. Toys have a function as do tools but one is not the same as the other and each serves a separate purpose.
A slinky is a toy and a ladder is a tool. You can’t toss a slinky down a ladder and claim either object is obsolete because that action doesn’t produce a desired result. It’s not supposed to. Neither item is a problem but they're both being improperly used.
The same is so with all Scripture but particularly Torah. If you are trying to use it to save you it’s not going to work…not because the Instruction has no purpose but because you are using it improperly.
Torah offers life. Not eternal life. Following the instructions will save from many errors and much trouble and sorrow but it will not provide eternal life…and it never promised to.
And if you find you are rejecting obedience to these Divine Instructions because they won’t save you forever and ever but will instead only save in the way they said they would, then you need to take a serious look again at yourself and your assumptions.
You might have been forgetting your childhood and misunderstanding how to become childlike again.

It's Time!!!
The reason mind, body and spirit being connected so important has been the subject of many books and videos from various perspectives with most focusing on health. When man was created all three came together at the same time (Genesis 2:7). Mind, body and spirit are each a witness not only for overall health or joy or peace, they witness truth as well. Deuteronomy 19:15, “A lone witness is not sufficient to establish any wrongdoing or sin against a man, regardless of what offense he may have committed. A matter must be established by the testimony of two or three witnesses.”

DESTRUCTION AND EXILE
HOW JERUSALEM WAS DESTROYED
From Jeremiah 51:59-52:34
This is an account of some of the earlier days of King Zedekiah’s reign as king of Judah and the events that led to the destruction of Jerusalem. On one occasion Jeremiah took YHVH’s message to Seraiah the son of Neriah and grandson of Maaseiah, the quartermaster of King Zedekiah. It was during the fourth year of Zedekiah’s reign when Jeremiah wrote on a scroll many of the terrible judgments YHVH would send against Babylon and gave the scroll to Seraiah. [When you are exiled to Babylon, read all these words,] Jeremiah instructed Seraiah. [Then say, ‘Adonai, You have promised to destroy Babylon so completely that neither man nor beast will live in it again and it will be desolate forever.’] [When you have finished reading the scroll, tie a stone on it and throw it into the Euphrates River. Then say, [‘As this scroll sinks into the river, so shall Babylon sink because of the punishment Adonai will send upon her, never to rise again.’] Zedekiah, like Jehoiakim, was a wicked king. He was twenty-one when he became king and ruled for the next eleven years in Jerusalem. His mother’s name was Hamatul, the daughter of Jeremiah of Libnah. Adonai grew increasingly angry at the evil in Jerusalem and Judah until He cut His people off from Him. Then He permitted Zedekiah to rebel against the king of Babylon. During the ninth year of Zedekiah’s reign, on the tenth day of the tenth month, Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon came with his army against Jerusalem, set up camp around the city, and laid siege to it for the next two years. By the ninth day of the fourth month, the famine was so severe in Jerusalem that there was nothing to eat. The Babylonian army broke through the walls and invaded the city, but Zedekiah and his soldiers escaped through a gate between the two walls, at a point behind the palace garden. They tried to go through the Babylonian army camps toward the Arabah, but King Zedekiah was captured in the plains of Jericho, and his army was scattered, Zedekiah was then taken to Riblah in the land of Hamath, where King Nebuchadnezzar passed judgment on him, killed his sons and his nobles before his eyes, and then blinded him by gouging out his eyes. The king of Babylon put Zedekiah in chains and took him to Babylon, where he put him in prison until he died. On the tenth day of the fifth month, which was also the nineteenth year of King Nebuchadnezzar’s reign, Nebuzar-Adan the captain of the king’s bodyguard came to Jerusalem and burned the city, including the temple, the palace, and all the houses. His army broke down the walls of the city. Then he gathered the survivors, including the craftsmen and the Jews who had earlier deserted to the Babylonians, and took them back to Babylon with him. However, he left some of the poorest people behind so that they could take care of the vineyards and plough the fields, thus keeping the land under cultivation. Nebuzar-Adan cut up the great bronze pillars of the temple, as well as the bronze laver and its base, and took the metal to Babylon. He also took back with him the bronze vessels of the temple -- pots, shovels, snuffers, basins, and pans. The gold and silver vessels of the temple were taken as well. It is difficult to estimate the weight of the bronze that was taken from the pillars and the layer and its base. They had been made in the days of King Solomon. Each pillar was twenty-seven feet high, eighteen feet in circumference, and were hollow with the bronze about three to four inches thick. Bronze ornamental work made up the top seven and a half feet of the pillars with one hundred and ninety-six bronze pomegranates around it. Nebuzar-Adan took a number of the leaders of Judah to King Nebuchadnezzar at Riblah. These included Seraiah the chief priest, Sephaniah the second priest in charge, three temple guards, an army officer, seven members of the king’s council who were found in the city, and the secretary of the army commander who drafted the people of the land into the army. Sixty other important men who were hiding were discovered and taken as well. At Riblah the king of Babylon put these men to death, but he took the survivors to Babylon. During the seventh year of Nebuchadnezzar’s reign, he had taken three thousand and twenty-three people of Judah as captives to Babylon. Now, eleven years later, he took eight hundred and thirty-two people from Jerusalem. Five years later Nebuzar-Adan took another seven hundred and forty-five, so that a total of forty-six hundred people were taken. Thirty-seven years after King Jehoiachin had been. imprisoned in Babylon, Evil-Merodach became king of Babylon. On the very first day of his reign, he brought Jehoiachin from prison, spoke kindly to him, and placed him in greater favour than all the other kings who had been brought to Babylon. Evil-Merodach gave Jehoiachin new clothes and brought him daily to eat at the king’s table. Until the day he died, he was given an allowance to take care of all his daily needs.
COMMENTARY
HOW PRISONERS OF WAR WERE TREATED
In the days of the Assyrian and Babylonian conquests, the sight of an approaching army spread fear inside the city to he attacked. Defeat was almost certain, and the choice between death and capture was a terrible one. The moment they broke through the walls, enemy soldiers invaded the town, looting temples and palaces. unless a treaty was made, fixing the amount of tribute, the soldiers set fire to houses, walls, public buildings and trees. With hands or feet in chains, and rings through their lips or noses, the prisoners of war were led before the victorious king. He sentenced some to slavery by putting his foot on them. A few he pardoned. Others, given to the executioner, were tortured before they died. The more fortunate were beheaded or thrown into furnaces immediately. Even captive kings and officers did not escape such treatment. Some sentenced to be deported faced death too, along the way to Mesopotamia. Ancient records show that food supplies from Mesopotamia often met the convoys several weeks later than scheduled. By that time, many of the deportees, already weakened by hunger, disease and fatigue, had died. Some who survived the trip worked as slaves of the state on roads, fortresses, irrigation canals and royal farms. Those sentenced to be temple slaves cared for the flocks and grounds owned by powerful Babylonian priests. Prisoners of war sold as private slaves in the market stood the best chance of buying back their freedom, since slaves in Babylonia and Assyria could own businesses and were allowed to keep money. More fortunate deportees settled as free people, even though under strict supervision. Some, like the Jews in Babylon, were allowed to keep their own religions. The policy of deportation was meant to force conquered peoples to blend in with the Mesopotamians. Once they intermarried, the conquerors reasoned, they would be less likely to rebel. Many deportees found their new societies ready to accept foreign ideas and talents. Palestinian bakers, weavers, merchants and scribes practiced their trades profitably. Shipbuilders from Ionia, Egypt and Philistia filled the Euphrates with sturdy vessels. The work of Phoenician craftsmen graced Mesopotamian temples and palaces.
