Sukkot starts tonight (October 16) at sunset. The first day of this feast is a "high Sabbath" — no work is to be done.

During the Feast of Sukkot we remember when the Almighty led the Israelites out of Egypt, and they lived in shelters in the wilderness for 40 years. During this time, the Almighty also dwelt in a sukkah (sue-KAH), the singular form of the Hebrew word sukkot, among the people (i.e. in the “tabernacle”).

Physically speaking, the Feast of Sukkot commemorates when, over 2,000 years ago on the first day of Sukkot (a High Sabbath), Yeshua (Jesus) was born. He was the very Word of the Almighty made flesh, and literally “dwelt” or “tabernacled” with us.

In a spiritual sense, the Feast of Sukkot is all about finally dwelling with the Almighty after the end times.
