Key Word:. Eternal Life
The Feast of Tabernacles official Hebrew name is Sukkot [סוכות‎ H5521]. Sukkot means: booths. An individual booth is called sukkah. Sukkot is the seventh and final feast commanded by Yahweh to be celebrated, and is also the third and final feast of the fall feasts. Sukkot is the third feast that all Jewish males are required to attend. The three feasts are: Pesach (Passover) , Shavuot (Pentecost), and Sukkot (Tabernacles).

Historical Background
The Festival of Sukkot began on Tishri 15, – five days after the Day of Atonements or Yom Kippurim, and lasted for seven days. Like Pesach (Passover) and Shavuot (Pentecost), Sukkot had both a historical and an agricultural component. Historically, it was a memorial of the forty year period during which the Hebrew people wandered in the desert while living in temporary shelters. Agriculturally, it was a harvest festival, referred to as Chag Ha-Asif, the Festival of Ingathering, celebrating the day of ingathering of fruit and vine crops. No work was permitted on the first and second days of the holiday. Sukkot was quite a drastic transition from one of the most solemn holidays in the year (Yom Kippurim) to one of the most joyous.

Modern Background
John 14:3 – “I will come again and will take you to myself, so that where I am, there you may be.”

The Festival of Sukkot still begins on Tishri 15, – five days after the Day of Atonements or Yom Kippurim, and also lasts for seven days. Prior to the feast, Jewish celebrants build a temporary shelter alongside their home in honor of the temporary homes used by their ancestors in the wilderness. All meals are eaten in the sukkah (booth), and the entire family sleeps inside the sukkah as well, except during inclement weather or due to health problems.

The Future
Zechariah 14:16-19 – "And it will come to pass, that every nation shall go up from year to year to worship Yeshua and to keep the Feast Of Sukkot, and those who do not will receive no rain."

At the end of the tribulation period, all of the Jews worldwide will be gathered together and resettled in Israel, and Jerusalem will be their capital. Yeshua will take His place on the Throne of David, and will begin His millennial reign. At that time, all the nations of the world will also gather in Jerusalem to celebrate Sukkot with the Jews each year. Any nation that does not attend, will be punished with drought in their land.

Conclusions
Break out the sukkahs, it’s time to go camping for a week. It is time to give Yahweh thanks for all of the harvests.

Building the sukkah each year is great fun for the children and they treat it the same as building a fort and then camping out in it in the backyard. All meals are eaten in the sukkah, the whole family sleeps in the sukkah, and it is one of the most joyous, festive celebrations of the year. It is not until the culmination of the summer that all of the crops are harvested and Sukkot celebrates the final gathering of the fruit and vine crops as one gives thanksgiving to Yahweh for His sustenance throughout the rest of the year.

Sukkoth today celebrates a return to Jerusalem to celebrate Sabbath and will find its final fulfillment when Yeshua returns to Earth, gathers all nations together, and sets up His Millennial Reign, a temporary period of one thousand years before eternity begins.
