Sukkot -- The Feast of Tabernacles -- (Lev.
23:33-44) Five days after Yom Kippur is Sukkot,
also known as the Feast of Ingathering or the
Time of our Rejoicing, an 8-day feast when we live
in sukkot (tents/huts/lean-to's). A wave offering of
date palm branches, myrtle branches, willow
branches and an etrog (lemon-like citrus fruit) is
presented to YHVH. Just as Yom Kippur
represents national atonement for Israel, Sukkot
represents dwelling in YHVH's presence. It is
very widely believed that Yahshua was born on
the first day of Sukkot and was circumcised on the
eighth day of the feast. John 7:37-41 recounts a
particular Sukkot in Yahshua's life, when He
foretold the giving of the Living Water. Shemini
Atzaret (Eighth Day of Assembly) & Simchat Torah
(Rejoicing in the Torah) conclude the Feast.

According to the agriculturally corrected calendar, Sukkot is
expected to begin the evening of September 27, 2007 (15th day
of the 7th month 6008/5768). This is based on the first new moon
after the barley being aviv (ripe, green ears) dictating the start
of the feast of Pesach -- Passover -- on April 3, 2007. We realize
that this puts us at odds with the Hebrew calendars available
today, but this is how our heavenly Father said to calculate the
Feast of Pesach / Week of Unleavened Bread in Scripture. ---
"Observe the month of Aviv, and keep Pesach to YHVH your
Elohim," Deut. 16:1 and in Lev. 23:10,11 & 14 Torah tells us,
"bring a sheaf of firstfruits to the cohen. He is to wave the
sheaf before YHVH so that you will be accepted. [14] You are
not to eat bread, dried grain or fresh grain until the day you
bring the offering for your Elohim" ... So, it is Pesach that sets
the beginning of the year when the barley is newly ripe and the
new moon appears. Thus Pesach sets all the subsequent feasts.
We will only experience true unity when we conform
ourselves to YHVH's Written Word (the Torah, Prophets,
Writings, Brit Chadashah) and Messiah Yahshua, the Living
Word.
