Shabbat Shalom Fiveamprayer Family! This has been an awesome week walking in His Fall Feast Days!! YAH'S PRESENCE ON YOM KIPPUR WAS AWESOME! Now we are in PREPARATION FOR THE FEAST OF TABERNACLES SUKKOT AND THE SABBATH!! We are dwelling with The Most High Yah at the time when YAHUSHA was born! I'm in AWE and overwhelmed by the PRESENCE OF HIS RUACH!! We need to remember THE MOST HIGH FAITHFULNESS!!! A TIME TO REMEMBER AND REJOICE!! The children of Israel lived in these quickly constructed huts called sukkah booths in the wilderness!! This was to be an annual seven-day reminder of the Almighty's mercy and power that delivered them out of bondage to Egypt and Pharaoh. The foliage covering the temporary booths was to remind them that in the wilderness YAHUAH, the Great I AM, was their covering, protector, a shield about them, and the glory in their midst ( Psalms 5:12, Zechariah 2:5). The palm branches and the other greenery was a reminder of His abiding presence as a cloud that shaded them from the scorning intense heat from the sun. The willows from the brooks were a reminder of His mercy to miraculously provide water from a rock! These temporary dwelling places for each household were made with three walls and intertwined branches. The roofs were thatched so that it allowed more shade than daylight during the day but sparely placed in order to see the firmament at night! WOW!! All this reminded the children of Israel that their YAH was dwelling with them PROVIDING! A pillar of cloud by day and a pillar of fire by night ( Exodus 13:22). He TABERNACLED ( His presence dwelled with them) His Glory covered them, He went before them, and He was their rear guard ( Isaiah 52:12). Through His mighty acts and display of power they knew He was the One True Living YAH, who had miraculously delivered and chosen (them) to be a people of His treasured possession, out of all the peoples, who are on the face of the earth (Deuteronomy 7:6). Israel was to rejoice for seven days- symbolic of the Holy One's perfection and completion of His Will throughout their whole lives. They were not to come empty handed but they were to present the offering of their lives to obediently serve, worship, and glorify Him throughout their pilgrimage on earth in preparation for the Promised Land! ( Deuteronomy 16:16). They were to rejoice before YAH because of all that He had done throughout the wilderness journey! He instituted the sacrificial blood covering of the lamb to spare them from the angel of death. He freed them from bondage, He destroyed their enemies, He brought them miraculously through the Red Sea, He gave them manna from heaven, water from the rock, and mercifully sent quail to satisfy their hunger for meat. He gave them everything they needed!! He was YAH YIREH their PROVIDER!!! ALL PRAISES TO THE MOST HIGH YAH!! GREAT IS HIS FAITHFULNESS!!! HE IS OUR PROVIDER!! HE SHALL SUPPLY ALL OUR NEEDS ACCORDING TO HIS RICHES AND GLORY!! SHABBAT SHALOM! Get ready for SUKKOT THE FEAST OF TABERNACLES!!! He is our dwelling place!
