What's more fun than a God commanded festival where you go and camp for 7 days with other believers away from all the problems of the outside world? To me, nothing. This is literally the best time of the year. My wife even enjoys it and she wears a shirt while we are there that says "Indoorsy" (she isn't an outdoor person).

There is a saying about this Feast that it is God inviting us outside to be with Him for 7 days. On that last day, because He has enjoyed our company He asks us to stay one more night, the Last Great Day. If you've looked into Tabernacles, you will see that there are 8 days as part of it. However, the command is for 7 days, and then the 8th day is added on afterward. Some view this as two separate Feasts/Appointed times. I go back and forth on that. Sometimes I read and it seems part of Tabernacles, and other times I read and it does seem separate.

On events that have happened on Tabernacles, we have Solomon's Temple being dedicated at the start of the Feast. (2 Chronicles 7), and Jesus/Yeshua was more than likely born during this Festival. We even have John 1 say that He came and tabernacled with us. He was born in a manger, which most depictions of this manger look very similar to a traditional Tabernacle.

In prophecy, Tabernacles paints a picture of time. 7 days of 1,000 years (as in Scripture it states in a few places that a day is like 1,000 years to God) and the 8th day representing eternity.

Our families observance is getting together with a group of believers and going to a campsite and hanging out for the festival. We gather on some of the days to pray, read, discuss and sometimes share a meal. There are typically other events that people attending offer. I have taught classes the last several and will teach a different class this year as well.

This is the last Feast to cover. In all these I have given short summaries of events and prophecy, but there is so much more. I hope you will take the time and look more into each of these.
