Ancient traditions, and prophetic significance
00:01:06.315 --> 00:01:08.250

And the promise of sukkot. jack, i love this holiday.
00:01:29.004 --> 00:01:30.506
Jack, i love this holiday. i love it.
00:01:30.572 --> 00:01:31.373
I love it. and i think there's a
00:01:31.440 --> 00:01:32.174
And i think there's a disconnect with many christians
00:01:32.241 --> 00:01:34.443
Disconnect with many christians that the old testament holidays
00:01:34.510 --> 00:01:36.111
That the old testament holidays are done away with,
00:01:36.178 --> 00:01:37.112
Are done away with, they're jewish,
00:01:37.179 --> 00:01:38.814
They're jewish, they're old and gone,
00:01:38.881 --> 00:01:42.251
They're old and gone, and replaced with
00:01:42.317 --> 00:01:43.252
And replaced with new testament holidays.
00:01:43.318 --> 00:01:45.254
New testament holidays. nothing could be further
00:01:45.320 --> 00:01:46.355
Nothing could be further from the truth, right?
00:01:46.421 --> 00:01:47.089
From the truth, right? >> that is true, jonathan.
00:01:47.156 --> 00:01:48.323
>> that is true, jonathan. by the way, so good to be here
00:01:48.390 --> 00:01:49.491
By the way, so good to be here with you again.
00:01:49.558 --> 00:01:50.359
With you again. and you know,
00:01:50.425 --> 00:01:50.993
And you know, the irony is this,
00:01:51.059 --> 00:01:52.494
The irony is this, often times these feasts
00:01:52.561 --> 00:01:53.862
Often times these feasts and festivals in leviticus,
00:01:53.929 --> 00:01:55.264
And festivals in leviticus, sukkot being one,
00:01:55.330 --> 00:01:56.565
Sukkot being one, are referred to,
00:01:56.632 --> 00:01:57.666
Are referred to, quote on quote, as
00:01:57.733 --> 00:01:58.300
Quote on quote, as "jewish feasts."
00:01:58.367 --> 00:01:59.601
"jewish feasts." but god never refers
00:01:59.668 --> 00:02:00.702
But god never refers to them as jewish feasts,
00:02:00.769 --> 00:02:02.137
To them as jewish feasts, he said, "these are my feast.
00:02:02.204 --> 00:02:04.039
[speaking hebrew]
00:02:04.406 --> 00:02:04.840
My appointed times
00:02:05.374 --> 00:02:07.576
My appointed times for all people."
00:02:07.643 --> 00:02:08.977
For all people." and sure, initially,
00:02:09.044 --> 00:02:10.212
And sure, initially, they were for the israelites,
00:02:10.279 --> 00:02:11.747
They were for the israelites, the lord said here,
00:02:11.813 --> 00:02:12.681
The lord said here, "when you," the israelites,
00:02:12.748 --> 00:02:14.383
"when you," the israelites, "enter into the land that
00:02:14.449 --> 00:02:15.651
"enter into the land that i am giving you,
00:02:15.717 --> 00:02:16.351
I am giving you, you will celebrate
00:02:16.418 --> 00:02:17.219
You will celebrate these feasts."
00:02:17.286 --> 00:02:17.920
These feasts." so sure, obviously, we get
00:02:17.986 --> 00:02:19.821
So sure, obviously, we get the old testament application,
00:02:19.888 --> 00:02:21.790
The old testament application, but at the same time
00:02:21.857 --> 00:02:23.158
But at the same time all of these were, they are,
00:02:23.225 --> 00:02:25.627
All of these were, they are, and they always will be
00:02:25.694 --> 00:02:27.462
And they always will be about jesus, about yeshua.
00:02:27.529 --> 00:02:29.231
About jesus, about yeshua. they tell his story from
00:02:29.298 --> 00:02:31.366
They tell his story from the cross to his second coming
00:02:31.433 --> 00:02:33.168
The cross to his second coming in the book of revelation.
00:02:33.235 --> 00:02:34.403
In the book of revelation. >> yeah.
00:02:34.469 --> 00:02:34.770
>> yeah. not only do they tell
00:02:34.836 --> 00:02:35.671
Not only do they tell the story and point to yeshua,
00:02:35.737 --> 00:02:38.440
The story and point to yeshua, but yeshua observed all
00:02:38.507 --> 00:02:39.908
But yeshua observed all of these holidays.
00:02:39.975 --> 00:02:40.809
Of these holidays. and not only jesus but paul,
00:02:40.876 --> 00:02:42.611
And not only jesus but paul, the disci -- all the disciples.
00:02:42.678 --> 00:02:44.079
The disci -- all the disciples. the first followers,
00:02:44.146 --> 00:02:45.647
The first followers, the first christians,
00:02:45.714 --> 00:02:46.548
The first christians, if you will,
00:02:46.615 --> 00:02:47.349
If you will, were jews who didn't
00:02:47.416 --> 00:02:49.051
Were jews who didn't convert to another religion
00:02:49.117 --> 00:02:51.687
Convert to another religion but understood that yeshua,
00:02:51.753 --> 00:02:53.121
But understood that yeshua, jesus, was the fulfillment
00:02:53.188 --> 00:02:55.057
Jesus, was the fulfillment of these holidays,
00:02:55.123 --> 00:02:55.958
Of these holidays, central to these holidays
00:02:56.024 --> 00:02:57.159
Central to these holidays and sukkot is a big one.
00:02:57.226 --> 00:02:59.061
And sukkot is a big one. it's one
00:02:59.127 --> 00:02:59.528
It's one of the pilgrimage feasts.
00:02:59.595 --> 00:03:00.329
Of the pilgrimage feasts. talk about that.
00:03:00.395 --> 00:03:01.396
Talk about that. >> very much so.
00:03:01.463 --> 00:03:02.130
>> very much so. and yeshua himself,
00:03:02.197 --> 00:03:03.098
And yeshua himself, jesus himself,
00:03:03.165 --> 00:03:04.032
Jesus himself, made this pilgrimage in
00:03:04.099 --> 00:03:05.834
Made this pilgrimage in the biblical account of him
00:03:05.901 --> 00:03:06.969
The biblical account of him celebrating it in john 7.
00:03:07.035 --> 00:03:09.538
Celebrating it in john 7. and it's actually quite
00:03:09.605 --> 00:03:10.305
And it's actually quite a humorous story because
00:03:10.372 --> 00:03:11.807
A humorous story because it's the time for him
00:03:11.873 --> 00:03:13.408
It's the time for him to go down from galilee
00:03:13.475 --> 00:03:14.676
To go down from galilee and up to judah to jerusalem,
00:03:14.743 --> 00:03:16.478
And up to judah to jerusalem, to the temple,
00:03:16.545 --> 00:03:17.212
To the temple, to celebrate the feast.
00:03:17.279 --> 00:03:19.248
To celebrate the feast. he's debating, "should i go,
00:03:19.314 --> 00:03:20.749
He's debating, "should i go, should i not?
00:03:20.816 --> 00:03:21.783
Should i not? because if i go then
00:03:21.850 --> 00:03:22.718
Because if i go then the pharisees will come
00:03:22.784 --> 00:03:23.819
The pharisees will come and they wanna kill me."
00:03:23.885 --> 00:03:24.953
And they wanna kill me." his brother said,
00:03:25.020 --> 00:03:25.621
His brother said, "no, no, go, go."
00:03:25.687 --> 00:03:27.322
"no, no, go, go." and basically, there is
00:03:27.389 --> 00:03:28.423
And basically, there is comedy in that chapter
00:03:28.490 --> 00:03:29.558
Comedy in that chapter because he's kinda like,
00:03:29.625 --> 00:03:30.492
Because he's kinda like, "great, thanks a lot."
00:03:30.559 --> 00:03:32.160
"great, thanks a lot." they want him to go not
00:03:32.227 --> 00:03:33.629
They want him to go not so that he will be
00:03:33.695 --> 00:03:34.263
So that he will be recognized as the messiah,
00:03:34.329 --> 00:03:36.098
Recognized as the messiah, they want him to go
00:03:36.164 --> 00:03:37.165
They want him to go because they say, "look,
00:03:37.232 --> 00:03:38.667
Because they say, "look, everybody's at the festival,
00:03:38.734 --> 00:03:39.868
Everybody's at the festival, you're in galilee.
00:03:39.935 --> 00:03:40.736
You're in galilee. you need to go where
00:03:40.802 --> 00:03:41.403
You need to go where all the people are so that
00:03:41.470 --> 00:03:42.871
All the people are so that they could see all
00:03:42.938 --> 00:03:43.639
They could see all of the great miracles
00:03:43.705 --> 00:03:44.773
Of the great miracles that you can do."
00:03:44.840 --> 00:03:45.974
That you can do." and that's why it says
00:03:46.041 --> 00:03:46.708
And that's why it says in john 7 even
00:03:46.775 --> 00:03:48.343
In john 7 even his brothers didn't get it,
00:03:48.410 --> 00:03:50.345
His brothers didn't get it, they didn't understand
00:03:50.412 --> 00:03:51.980
They didn't understand his messianic purpose.
00:03:52.047 --> 00:03:52.914
His messianic purpose. >> and there's so much
00:03:52.981 --> 00:03:53.882
>> and there's so much that you can understand
00:03:53.949 --> 00:03:54.983
That you can understand in the new testament
00:03:55.050 --> 00:03:57.386
In the new testament context of sukkot.
00:03:57.452 --> 00:03:59.721
Context of sukkot. the words that jesus
00:03:59.788 --> 00:04:00.856
The words that jesus says are connected
00:04:00.922 --> 00:04:01.857
Says are connected to the actual festival.
00:04:01.923 --> 00:04:03.825
To the actual festival. now, let's go back a little bit.
00:04:03.892 --> 00:04:04.926
Now, let's go back a little bit. this is a remembrance
00:04:04.993 --> 00:04:06.094
This is a remembrance of the 40 year
00:04:06.161 --> 00:04:08.196
Of the 40 year wilderness journey where
00:04:08.263 --> 00:04:10.265
Wilderness journey where they were traveling,
00:04:10.332 --> 00:04:11.633
They were traveling, really around in circles,
00:04:11.700 --> 00:04:12.501
Really around in circles, but they were following
00:04:12.567 --> 00:04:13.602
But they were following the presence of god
00:04:13.669 --> 00:04:15.170
The presence of god and they were not permanent.
00:04:15.237 --> 00:04:17.639
And they were not permanent. they were moving
00:04:17.706 --> 00:04:18.307
They were moving when the cloud moved,
00:04:18.373 --> 00:04:19.241
When the cloud moved, when the fire moved,
00:04:19.308 --> 00:04:20.275
When the fire moved, and so they had
00:04:20.342 --> 00:04:21.209
And so they had temporary dwellings.
00:04:21.276 --> 00:04:22.010
Temporary dwellings. and we remember
00:04:22.077 --> 00:04:23.145
And we remember that experience they're --
00:04:23.211 --> 00:04:25.781
That experience they're -- although they're not
00:04:25.847 --> 00:04:26.648
Although they're not getting into the promised land
00:04:26.715 --> 00:04:27.783
Getting into the promised land they're in the presence of god,
00:04:27.849 --> 00:04:29.384
They're in the presence of god, they're moving with
00:04:29.451 --> 00:04:30.052
They're moving with the presence of god.
00:04:30.118 --> 00:04:30.752
The presence of god. >> in the wilderness
00:04:30.819 --> 00:04:31.620
>> in the wilderness you've got 600,000 plus men,
00:04:31.687 --> 00:04:33.355
You've got 600,000 plus men, maybe 1 million people total.
00:04:33.422 --> 00:04:35.590
Maybe 1 million people total. now, process this,

The children of israel particularly in israel

00:05:21.403 --> 00:05:22.070
You know, we believe that during jesus' time,
00:05:22.137 --> 00:05:23.372
During jesus' time, during yeshua's time,
00:05:23.438 --> 00:05:24.706
During yeshua's time, jerusalem off festival time.
00:05:24.773 --> 00:05:28.110
Jerusalem off festival time. two hundred thousand people.
00:05:28.176 --> 00:05:29.745
Two hundred thousand people. the historian, josephus,
00:05:29.811 --> 00:05:31.046
The historian, josephus, says that at around these times

Says that at around these times of the pilgrimage feasts
00:05:32.581 --> 00:05:34.015

A remarkable sight. we do this at our home
00:05:43.558 --> 00:05:44.760
We do this at our home and we're reminded
00:05:44.826 --> 00:05:45.694
And we're reminded of the transience of life,
00:05:45.761 --> 00:05:47.796
Of the transience of life, that god is providing for us
00:05:47.863 --> 00:05:50.866
That god is providing for us and there's a simplicity
00:05:50.932 --> 00:05:53.135
And there's a simplicity that we can move when
00:05:53.201 --> 00:05:54.636
That we can move when the spirit of god moves,
00:05:54.703 --> 00:05:56.071

You know, shift. and you don't get so encumbered
00:05:57.172 --> 00:05:59.674

That you can't go where god calls us to go,
00:06:00.609 --> 00:06:01.476

And what would happen is the people making a pilgrimage,

The people making a pilgrimage, wherever they were in israel,

Wherever they were in israel, would make a pilgrimage
00:06:23.632 --> 00:06:24.466

It tells us in the new testament that zechariah served
00:09:31.419 --> 00:09:32.754
That zechariah served in the eighth course,
00:09:32.821 --> 00:09:34.189
In the eighth course, or the eighth division
00:09:34.255 --> 00:09:35.523
Or the eighth division in the temple of abijah.
00:09:35.590 --> 00:09:37.025
In the temple of abijah. now, without getting
00:09:37.092 --> 00:09:37.726
Now, without getting too complicated,
00:09:37.792 --> 00:09:38.994
Too complicated, this would put his serving
00:09:39.060 --> 00:09:40.562
This would put his serving at the temple, we think,
00:09:40.629 --> 00:09:41.997
At the temple, we think, some time around mid-june.
00:09:42.063 --> 00:09:44.165
Some time around mid-june. he finishes that time,
00:09:44.232 --> 00:09:46.167
He finishes that time, he goes home,
00:09:46.234 --> 00:09:46.968
He goes home, what happens after that?
00:09:47.035 --> 00:09:48.036
What happens after that? it says, then elizabeth
00:09:48.103 --> 00:09:49.404
It says, then elizabeth became pregnant
00:09:49.471 --> 00:09:51.106
Became pregnant mid-june or end of june.
00:09:51.172 --> 00:09:52.607
Mid-june or end of june. six months later it says mary
00:09:52.674 --> 00:09:55.477
Six months later it says mary became pregnant at around
00:09:55.543 --> 00:09:56.911
Became pregnant at around the time of december.
00:09:56.978 --> 00:09:58.380
The time of december. now, there's great significance
00:09:58.446 --> 00:09:59.581
Now, there's great significance here because december
00:09:59.648 --> 00:10:01.349
Here because december we have chanukah,
00:10:01.416 --> 00:10:02.183
We have chanukah, it's the festival of lights,
00:10:02.250 --> 00:10:03.284
It's the festival of lights, wouldn't it only stand
00:10:03.351 --> 00:10:04.719
Wouldn't it only stand to reason that
00:10:04.786 --> 00:10:05.553
To reason that the light of the world
00:10:05.620 --> 00:10:06.388
The light of the world is conceived at chanukah?
00:10:06.454 --> 00:10:07.622
Is conceived at chanukah? and of course,
00:10:07.689 --> 00:10:08.690
And of course, in a child's conception
00:10:08.757 --> 00:10:09.924
In a child's conception we have not only those
00:10:09.991 --> 00:10:11.059
We have not only those two images of light,
00:10:11.126 --> 00:10:12.460
Two images of light, but doctors have found
00:10:12.527 --> 00:10:14.129
But doctors have found that upon conception,
00:10:14.195 --> 00:10:16.264
That upon conception, there's something called a,
00:10:16.331 --> 00:10:17.599
There's something called a, "zinc spark."
00:10:17.666 --> 00:10:18.500
"zinc spark." there's actually
00:10:18.566 --> 00:10:19.034
There's actually a flash of light when
00:10:19.100 --> 00:10:20.735
A flash of light when a child is conceived.
00:10:20.802 --> 00:10:21.870
A child is conceived. and so, if we go ahead
00:10:21.936 --> 00:10:22.937
And so, if we go ahead nine months forward from
00:10:23.004 --> 00:10:24.806
Nine months forward from that point of conception
00:10:24.873 --> 00:10:26.608
That point of conception at chanukah we fall right
00:10:26.675 --> 00:10:27.542
At chanukah we fall right at the time of sukkot.
00:10:27.609 --> 00:10:29.044
At the time of sukkot. >> but think about it
00:10:29.110 --> 00:10:29.711
>> but think about it also practically.
00:10:29.778 --> 00:10:30.345
Also practically. you've got census,
00:10:30.412 --> 00:10:31.279
You've got census, a census going on,
00:10:31.346 --> 00:10:33.281
A census going on, and you have
00:10:33.348 --> 00:10:34.049
And you have a pilgrimage feast.
00:10:34.115 --> 00:10:35.250
A pilgrimage feast. bethlehem is actually
00:10:35.316 --> 00:10:36.451
Bethlehem is actually a little town right in
00:10:36.518 --> 00:10:38.453
A little town right in the outskirts of jerusalem,
00:10:38.520 --> 00:10:39.988
The outskirts of jerusalem, it's part of jerusalem,
00:10:40.055 --> 00:10:42.791
It's part of jerusalem, the greater area of jerusalem.
00:10:42.857 --> 00:10:44.626
The greater area of jerusalem. >> mm-hmm.
00:10:44.693 --> 00:10:45.160
>> mm-hmm. >> and it would've been
00:10:45.226 --> 00:10:46.428
>> and it would've been full at that time.
00:10:46.494 --> 00:10:48.263
Full at that time. so, you have that,
00:10:48.329 --> 00:10:49.030
So, you have that, you have the winter time,
00:10:49.097 --> 00:10:51.366
You have the winter time, right, with the shepherds
00:10:51.433 --> 00:10:52.767
Right, with the shepherds in the field seeking cover,
00:10:52.834 --> 00:10:56.271
In the field seeking cover, right, because it's cold.
00:10:56.337 --> 00:10:57.505
Right, because it's cold. >> yes.
00:10:57.572 --> 00:10:58.006
>> yes. >> and then, the big one
00:10:58.073 --> 00:11:00.075
>> and then, the big one is the tabernacle, the --
00:11:00.141 --> 00:11:03.011
Is the tabernacle, the -- which goes back to john 1,
00:11:03.078 --> 00:11:05.346
Which goes back to john 1, that he dwelt among us.
00:11:05.413 --> 00:11:06.981
That he dwelt among us. and that word, literally,
00:11:07.048 --> 00:11:08.116
And that word, literally, is to tabernacle among us.
00:11:08.183 --> 00:11:09.984
Is to tabernacle among us. >> amen.
00:11:10.051 --> 00:11:11.186
>> amen. >> there's pretty
00:11:11.252 --> 00:11:11.920
>> there's pretty interesting connections.
00:11:11.986 --> 00:11:12.654
Interesting connections. i'm not going to
00:11:12.721 --> 00:11:14.656
I'm not going to set dogmatically that
00:11:14.723 --> 00:11:16.958
Set dogmatically that he was born at sukkot,
00:11:17.025 --> 00:11:18.059
He was born at sukkot, but there is pretty solid
00:11:18.126 --> 00:11:20.295
But there is pretty solid evidence that that's likely.
00:11:20.361 --> 00:11:22.297
Evidence that that's likely. >> you know there is,
00:11:22.363 --> 00:11:23.031
>> you know there is, and there's one more
00:11:23.098 --> 00:11:23.798
And there's one more because during sukkot,
00:11:23.865 --> 00:11:25.900
Because during sukkot, during -- only during
00:11:25.967 --> 00:11:26.735
During -- only during sukkot the temple,
00:11:26.801 --> 00:11:28.236
Sukkot the temple, only during this time
00:11:28.303 --> 00:11:28.937
Only during this time of the year, had four huge,
00:11:29.003 --> 00:11:30.205
Of the year, had four huge, huge torches, candelabrum,
00:11:30.271 --> 00:11:32.807
Huge torches, candelabrum, high into the sky,
00:11:32.874 --> 00:11:34.209
High into the sky, always lit during this time.
00:11:34.275 --> 00:11:36.344
Always lit during this time. and it was said that the flames
00:11:36.411 --> 00:11:37.979
And it was said that the flames were able to keep burning
00:11:38.046 --> 00:11:39.581
Were able to keep burning because of the swaddling cloths
00:11:39.647 --> 00:11:41.950
Because of the swaddling cloths that were used where the flames
00:11:42.016 --> 00:11:44.319
That were used where the flames were shooting up from.
00:11:44.385 --> 00:11:45.820
Were shooting up from. and there's a connection here
00:11:45.887 --> 00:11:46.855
And there's a connection here to the pilgrimage itself
00:11:46.921 --> 00:11:48.022
To the pilgrimage itself because while people were
00:11:48.089 --> 00:11:49.524
Because while people were making the pilgrimage --
00:11:49.591 --> 00:11:50.625
Making the pilgrimage -- look, if it takes you
00:11:50.692 --> 00:11:51.793
Look, if it takes you a couple of days journey
00:11:51.860 --> 00:11:53.294
A couple of days journey you're singing those songs,
00:11:53.361 --> 00:11:54.629
You're singing those songs, but eventually
00:11:54.696 --> 00:11:55.396
But eventually you've got sun down,
00:11:55.463 --> 00:11:56.364
You've got sun down, night falls, how do you know
00:11:56.431 --> 00:11:58.900
Night falls, how do you know where the temple is?
00:11:58.967 --> 00:12:00.268
Where the temple is? two ways, number one,
00:12:00.335 --> 00:12:01.469
Two ways, number one, you see the lamps burning,
00:12:01.536 --> 00:12:03.204
You see the lamps burning, and that's one reason that
00:12:03.271 --> 00:12:04.105
And that's one reason that the lamps would've been
00:12:04.172 --> 00:12:04.906
The lamps would've been burning at this time.
00:12:04.973 --> 00:12:06.174
Burning at this time. but because of that only
00:12:06.241 --> 00:12:07.876
But because of that only during this particular
00:12:07.942 --> 00:12:09.144
During this particular festival did the temple
00:12:09.210 --> 00:12:10.845
Festival did the temple go by a particular name,
00:12:10.912 --> 00:12:12.914
Go by a particular name, it was called,
00:12:12.981 --> 00:12:14.282
It was called, "the light of the world."
00:12:14.349 --> 00:12:15.350
"the light of the world." yet another indication
00:12:15.416 --> 00:12:17.552
Yet another indication of perhaps the birth
00:12:17.619 --> 00:12:18.787
Of perhaps the birth of the light of the world
00:12:18.853 --> 00:12:20.221
Of the light of the world during the time
00:12:20.288 --> 00:12:20.755
During the time of the light of the world.
00:12:20.822 --> 00:12:21.523
Of the light of the world. >> so much --
00:12:21.589 --> 00:12:22.090
>> so much -- it brings so much more force
00:12:22.157 --> 00:12:23.258
It brings so much more force to jesus saying at sukkot,
00:12:23.324 --> 00:12:25.493
To jesus saying at sukkot, "i am the light of the world."
00:12:25.560 --> 00:12:27.328
"i am the light of the world." >> yes.
00:12:27.395 --> 00:12:27.762
>> yes. >> it gives you context.
00:12:27.829 --> 00:12:29.297
>> it gives you context. there's other stories
00:12:29.364 --> 00:12:29.998
There's other stories to connect it with sukkot,
00:12:30.064 --> 00:12:31.766
To connect it with sukkot, we'll talk about it soon,
00:12:31.833 --> 00:12:33.368
We'll talk about it soon, about the carrying of the water.
00:12:33.434 --> 00:12:35.570
About the carrying of the water. >> mm-hmm.
00:12:35.637 --> 00:12:36.004
>> mm-hmm. >> and yeshua, jesus,
00:12:36.070 --> 00:12:37.505
>> and yeshua, jesus, being the water of life.
00:12:37.572 --> 00:12:40.408
Being the water of life. >> yeah.
00:12:40.475 --> 00:12:42.310
>> yeah. >> not only is it
00:12:42.377 --> 00:12:42.911
>> not only is it the pilgrimage feast,
00:12:42.977 --> 00:12:43.711
The pilgrimage feast, but in the last days,
00:12:43.778 --> 00:12:48.016
But in the last days, actually not even the last days
00:12:48.082 --> 00:12:49.284
Actually not even the last days but in the millennial reign,
00:12:49.350 --> 00:12:50.985
But in the millennial reign, or the messianic reign,
00:12:51.052 --> 00:12:52.654
Or the messianic reign, the bible tells us in
00:12:52.720 --> 00:12:53.621
The bible tells us in zechariah that all the nations,
00:12:53.688 --> 00:12:55.290
Zechariah that all the nations, the gentile nations,
00:12:55.356 --> 00:12:57.091
The gentile nations, will flock to jerusalem
00:12:57.158 --> 00:12:58.359
Will flock to jerusalem on this specific feast.
00:12:58.426 --> 00:13:00.595
On this specific feast. so, you better get ready now
00:13:00.662 --> 00:13:01.663
So, you better get ready now and learn it because
00:13:01.729 --> 00:13:02.497
And learn it because you're going to be called
00:13:02.564 --> 00:13:04.465
You're going to be called in the messianic
00:13:04.532 --> 00:13:05.500
In the messianic or millennial reign
00:13:05.567 --> 00:13:06.334
Or millennial reign of the messiah to jerusalem.
00:13:06.401 --> 00:13:08.336
Of the messiah to jerusalem. >> your key words there were
00:13:08.403 --> 00:13:09.737
>> your key words there were "get ready now,"
00:13:09.804 --> 00:13:10.672
"get ready now," because like all
00:13:10.738 --> 00:13:11.573
Because like all of the feasts in leviticus
00:13:11.639 --> 00:13:12.807
Of the feasts in leviticus this is a feast of preparation,
00:13:12.874 --> 00:13:15.009
This is a feast of preparation, getting our heart right
00:13:15.076 --> 00:13:16.978
Getting our heart right with the one who is
00:13:17.045 --> 00:13:17.779
With the one who is the light of the world,
00:13:17.846 --> 00:13:18.613
The light of the world, and drawing unto him.
00:13:18.680 --> 00:13:19.914
And drawing unto him. >> let me put that reference up,
00:13:19.981 --> 00:13:21.516
It's zechariah 14:16.
00:13:21.616 --> 00:13:24.519
It's zechariah 14:16. i believe that says,
00:13:24.586 --> 00:13:25.386
I believe that says, "all the nations will
00:13:25.453 --> 00:13:26.521
"all the nations will worship and celebrate at
00:13:26.588 --> 00:13:29.057
Worship and celebrate at the feast of tabernacles."
00:13:29.123 --> 00:13:30.258
The feast of tabernacles." that's sukkot!
00:13:30.325 --> 00:13:31.092
And you're called
00:13:31.192 --> 00:13:32.293
And you're called to be part of it.
00:13:32.360 --> 00:13:33.161
To be part of it. sukkot is so much more
00:13:33.228 --> 00:13:35.196
Sukkot is so much more than a celebration
00:13:35.263 --> 00:13:36.064
Than a celebration of god's provision in the past,
00:13:36.130 --> 00:13:38.566
Of god's provision in the past, it's also rich in
00:13:38.633 --> 00:13:39.367
It's also rich in prophetic meaning.
00:13:39.434 --> 00:13:40.401
Prophetic meaning. so, up next,
00:13:40.468 --> 00:13:41.402
So, up next, you're gonna learn how this
00:13:41.469 --> 00:13:42.570
You're gonna learn how this joyous festival points to jesus,
00:13:42.637 --> 00:13:45.039
Joyous festival points to jesus, our messiah and savior.
00:13:45.106 --> 00:13:46.441
>> when you partner
00:13:47.175 --> 00:13:48.076
With jewish voice
00:13:48.176 --> 00:13:49.244
You're helping change lives
00:13:49.344 --> 00:13:50.678
With medical care,
00:13:50.778 --> 00:13:51.880
Clean water, and the message
00:13:51.980 --> 00:13:53.982
Of salvation in yeshua, jesus.
00:13:54.082 --> 00:13:56.918
Take a look at how friends like
00:13:57.018 --> 00:13:58.453
You are making a difference.
00:13:58.553 --> 00:13:59.954
>> my name is brian slater,
00:14:02.323 --> 00:14:03.658
>> my name is brian slater, i'm the ceo and director
00:14:03.725 --> 00:14:05.293
I'm the ceo and director of abundant bread of salvation,
00:14:05.360 --> 00:14:07.128
Of abundant bread of salvation, which is based here
00:14:07.195 --> 00:14:07.929
Which is based here in netanya, in israel.
00:14:07.996 --> 00:14:09.464
In netanya, in israel. first of all, everything that
00:14:09.530 --> 00:14:10.732
First of all, everything that we're about is honoring
00:14:10.798 --> 00:14:11.966
We're about is honoring the people that we serve,
00:14:12.033 --> 00:14:13.968
Whether it be orphans
00:14:14.068 --> 00:14:15.737
In the orphanage, or widows,
00:14:15.803 --> 00:14:17.805
Or single mothers,

We do whether it be through
00:14:32.520 --> 00:14:34.555
We do whether it be through giving them the food bags that
00:14:34.622 --> 00:14:37.525
Giving them the food bags that we give them every week.
00:14:37.592 --> 00:14:38.393
We give them every week. over 400 people every month

Over 400 people every month are receiving these

Are receiving these food bags and that
00:14:42.163 --> 00:14:44.599

To our jewish people, we do it with all of our heart
00:14:53.808 --> 00:14:55.643
We do it with all of our heart and that could mean, just,
00:14:55.710 --> 00:14:58.379
And that could mean, just, simply giving someone
00:14:58.446 --> 00:14:59.213
Simply giving someone a handshake or a hug,
00:14:59.280 --> 00:15:01.282
A handshake or a hug, that yeshua would do
00:15:01.349 --> 00:15:02.784
That yeshua would do if he was here with us.

00:15:10.725 --> 00:15:12.727

00:15:19.200 --> 00:15:20.868
Of yeshua without even preaching,
00:15:20.935 --> 00:15:23.371
Even preaching, if that makes sense.
00:15:23.438 --> 00:15:24.772
If that makes sense. as the word of god says,
00:15:24.839 --> 00:15:26.507
As the word of god says, "faith without works is dead."
00:15:26.574 --> 00:15:29.010
"faith without works is dead." seeing many people come

The priest would then go back in the temple,
00:18:37.064 --> 00:18:38.065
Go back in the temple, because during this
00:18:38.132 --> 00:18:39.367
Because during this particular time when animals
00:18:39.433 --> 00:18:41.102
Particular time when animals were sacrificed on the altar,
00:18:41.169 --> 00:18:43.204

The priest would take that water from the pitcher,
00:18:49.377 --> 00:18:50.711
Water from the pitcher, pour it on the altar

There's another point to that because it is said that
00:19:37.191 --> 00:19:38.459
Because it is said that after the priest poured
00:19:38.526 --> 00:19:39.627

00:19:44.298 --> 00:19:45.566
Where the sacrifices were that there were two --
00:19:45.633 --> 00:19:46.634
That there were two -- >> the altar, the altar.
00:19:46.701 --> 00:19:47.368
>> the altar, the altar. >> right, the altar.
00:19:47.435 --> 00:19:47.935
>> right, the altar. there were two pipelines
00:19:48.002 --> 00:19:49.670
There were two pipelines that would go back
00:19:49.737 --> 00:19:50.671
That would go back to the pool of siloam.
00:19:50.738 --> 00:19:52.139
To the pool of siloam. one, theoretically,
00:19:52.206 --> 00:19:53.207
One, theoretically, for the water,
00:19:53.274 --> 00:19:53.841
For the water, the other, theoretically,
00:19:53.908 --> 00:19:55.176
The other, theoretically, for the blood.
00:19:55.243 --> 00:19:56.244
For the blood. and could that not be
00:19:56.310 --> 00:19:57.545
And could that not be a foreshadowing of what was
00:19:57.612 --> 00:19:59.313
A foreshadowing of what was to come six months later
00:19:59.380 --> 00:20:01.415
To come six months later when yeshua, the living water,
00:20:01.482 --> 00:20:03.384
When yeshua, the living water, who we are to trust in,
00:20:03.451 --> 00:20:04.518
Who we are to trust in, is being crucified on the cross?
00:20:04.585 --> 00:20:06.621
Is being crucified on the cross? what happens in
00:20:06.687 --> 00:20:07.455
What happens in john 19:13 -- 19:34?
00:20:07.521 --> 00:20:10.758
John 19:13 -- 19:34? a roman soldier comes over,
00:20:10.825 --> 00:20:12.627
A roman soldier comes over, pierces his side,
00:20:12.693 --> 00:20:13.961
Pierces his side, out comes blood and water,
00:20:14.028 --> 00:20:16.430
Out comes blood and water, the fulfillment of sukkot.
00:20:16.497 --> 00:20:17.865
The fulfillment of sukkot. >> yeah, this is living --
00:20:17.932 --> 00:20:19.567
>> yeah, this is living -- the living water.
00:20:19.634 --> 00:20:21.102
Zechariah 14:8,
00:20:21.202 --> 00:20:22.737
Zechariah 14:8, "living water will flow
00:20:22.803 --> 00:20:25.406
"living water will flow from jerusalem."
00:20:25.473 --> 00:20:26.841
From jerusalem." >> yes.
00:20:26.907 --> 00:20:27.241
>> yes. >> all of this ties
00:20:27.308 --> 00:20:28.142
Together so intricately,
00:20:28.242 --> 00:20:29.877
Together so intricately, it's just amazing.
00:20:29.944 --> 00:20:30.778
It's just amazing. >> isn't that true?
00:20:30.845 --> 00:20:31.545
>> isn't that true? and that brings up one more gem
00:20:31.612 --> 00:20:33.948
And that brings up one more gem about sukkot that a lot
00:20:34.015 --> 00:20:35.383
About sukkot that a lot of folks don't even look at,
00:20:35.449 --> 00:20:37.051
Of folks don't even look at, and it's found
00:20:37.118 --> 00:20:38.052
And it's found in revelation 21:3.
00:20:38.119 --> 00:20:39.920
In revelation 21:3. because the festival starts off
00:20:39.987 --> 00:20:42.456
Because the festival starts off with the theme of god
00:20:42.523 --> 00:20:44.425
With the theme of god providing booths or shelters for
00:20:44.492 --> 00:20:45.860
Providing booths or shelters for the israelites while they were
00:20:45.926 --> 00:20:46.827
The israelites while they were wondering in the wilderness,
00:20:46.894 --> 00:20:48.229
Wondering in the wilderness, god spiritually
00:20:48.296 --> 00:20:49.130
God spiritually dwelling with them,
00:20:49.196 --> 00:20:50.498
Dwelling with them, they spiritually dwelling
00:20:50.564 --> 00:20:51.932
They spiritually dwelling with him.
00:20:51.999 --> 00:20:52.800
With him. god will be their god,
00:20:52.867 --> 00:20:54.168
God will be their god, they will be his people.
00:20:54.235 --> 00:20:56.003
They will be his people. and then, we fast forward
00:20:56.070 --> 00:20:56.837
And then, we fast forward to revelation 21:3
00:20:56.904 --> 00:20:58.739
To revelation 21:3 and we've got the fulfillment
00:20:58.806 --> 00:20:59.840
And we've got the fulfillment of that symbolism.
00:20:59.907 --> 00:21:01.075
Of that symbolism. god dwelling with them,
00:21:01.142 --> 00:21:02.576
God dwelling with them, they dwelling with him.
00:21:02.643 --> 00:21:03.844
They dwelling with him. he will be their god,
00:21:03.911 --> 00:21:05.579
He will be their god, they will be his people.
00:21:05.646 --> 00:21:06.414
They will be his people. >> behold god is dwelling
00:21:06.480 --> 00:21:08.049
>> behold god is dwelling with man.
00:21:08.115 --> 00:21:08.683
With man. >> yes.
00:21:08.749 --> 00:21:09.016
>> yes. >> jack, we're living in
00:21:09.083 --> 00:21:10.017
>> jack, we're living in a time where the world's going
00:21:10.084 --> 00:21:11.719
A time where the world's going through a shaking.
00:21:11.786 --> 00:21:12.687
Through a shaking. >> yes.
00:21:12.753 --> 00:21:13.120
>> yes. >> and the bible says
00:21:13.187 --> 00:21:13.854
>> and the bible says that everything that can be
00:21:13.921 --> 00:21:15.189
That everything that can be shaken will be shaken,
00:21:15.256 --> 00:21:17.091
Shaken will be shaken, and only that which remains
00:21:17.158 --> 00:21:19.193
And only that which remains are those that are grounded
00:21:19.260 --> 00:21:20.895
Are those that are grounded in the relationship
00:21:20.961 --> 00:21:22.563
In the relationship with the lord.
00:21:22.630 --> 00:21:23.597
With the lord. and then, what follows,
00:21:23.664 --> 00:21:24.699
And then, what follows, this is haggai 2,
00:21:24.765 --> 00:21:26.967
This is haggai 2, the glory of the latter house
00:21:27.034 --> 00:21:28.336
The glory of the latter house then will be greater
00:21:28.402 --> 00:21:29.136
Then will be greater than the former.
00:21:29.203 --> 00:21:30.237
Than the former. so, as you endure
00:21:30.304 --> 00:21:31.339
So, as you endure the shaking by
00:21:31.405 --> 00:21:32.306
The shaking by getting close to god,
00:21:32.373 --> 00:21:33.207
Getting close to god, by getting rid
00:21:33.274 --> 00:21:34.508
By getting rid of the things in your life
00:21:34.575 --> 00:21:35.710
Of the things in your life that are encumbering you
00:21:35.776 --> 00:21:37.511
That are encumbering you from a deeper relationship
00:21:37.578 --> 00:21:39.213
From a deeper relationship with the lord,
00:21:39.280 --> 00:21:39.980
With the lord, the end result is glorious.
00:21:40.047 --> 00:21:42.616
The end result is glorious. just like that lit up
00:21:42.683 --> 00:21:44.919
Just like that lit up temple during sukkot,
00:21:44.985 --> 00:21:46.721
Temple during sukkot, when the men of israel were
00:21:46.787 --> 00:21:47.888
When the men of israel were experiencing this incredible
00:21:47.955 --> 00:21:49.590
Experiencing this incredible moment with the lord.
00:21:49.657 --> 00:21:50.524
Moment with the lord. >> and isn't it interesting
00:21:50.591 --> 00:21:51.625
>> and isn't it interesting that we're living in a time
00:21:51.692 --> 00:21:52.393
That we're living in a time when we're seeing israel
00:21:52.460 --> 00:21:53.694
When we're seeing israel going through that shifting
00:21:53.761 --> 00:21:54.829
Going through that shifting we're shaking as well,
00:21:54.895 --> 00:21:55.963
We're shaking as well, particularly over these now,
00:21:56.030 --> 00:21:58.099
Particularly over these now, you know, past 18, 19 months,
00:21:58.165 --> 00:22:00.034
You know, past 18, 19 months, in light of, what is it?
00:22:00.101 --> 00:22:01.035
In light of, what is it? amos 9:9, profound time.
00:22:01.102 --> 00:22:03.938
Amos 9:9, profound time. >> learn about sukkot

>> learn about sukkot and apply it to your life
00:22:04.939 --> 00:22:06.440
And apply it to your life as a follower of jesus.

And you are a spiritual son or daughter of abraham.

Capitalize the moment, learn about sukkot,
00:22:22.089 --> 00:22:23.457
