- Feast of Tabernacles honors the King of kings and
Lord of lords
If one
so far is not yet convinced that the date of Jesus’ birth is not a secret and
that they have been deceived and lied to, I hope that this point clarifies
everything. This may be the first time you hear about the exact date of Jesus’
birth but regardless of how long it took you to learn of it you have absolutely
no excuse for it is written; “How then shall they call on Him in whom they have
not believed? And how shall they believe in Him of whom they have not heard?
And how shall they hear without a preacher? And how shall they preach unless
they are sent? As it is written: "How beautiful are the feet of those who
preach the gospel of peace, who bring glad tidings of good things!" (Romans 10:14-15).
Now
that you hear it the onus is on you personally to believe or not to believe
because we are responsible for our own decisions and we must all appear before
the judgment seat of Christ, that each one may receive the things done in the
body, according to what he has done, whether good or bad. So
then each of us shall give account of himself to God.
So then, since the reason why the Word became
flesh and dwelt among us was to be King as testified by Jesus Himself who said
to Pilate; “You say rightly that I am a king. For this cause I was born and for
this cause I have come into the world, that I should bear witness to the truth.
Everyone who is of the truth hears My voice."
Now
there is a yearly festival which is stated as follows; “also on the fifteenth
day of the seventh month, when you have gathered in the fruit of the land, you
shall keep the feast of the LORD for seven days; on the first day there shall
be a Sabbath-rest, and on the eighth day a Sabbath-rest” (Leviticus 23:39; Judges 21:19; Hosea 9:5).
Please
note carefully that the directives are to keep the feast of the Lord,
signifying that this feast pertains to the Lord, it is His feast to be observed
in His honor. I therefore beg to ask the question, what is the objective and the
rationale for observing the feast of the Lord?
To native
Israelites their objective for observing this festival is stated as follows; “You
shall keep it as a feast to the LORD for seven days in the year. It shall be a
statute forever in your generations. You shall celebrate it in the seventh
month. You shall dwell in booths for seven days. All who are native Israelites
shall dwell in booths, that your generations may know that I made the children
of Israel dwell in booths when I brought them out of the land of Egypt: I am
the LORD your God” (Leviticus
23:41-43).
But
what is the objective and rationale for observing this festival in our New
Testament dispensation? In our New Testament dispensation, the objective and
rationale for observing this festival is to honor the birth and circumcision of
the King of kings and Lord of lords. Because remember the title and honor of
King was attributed to Jesus Christ from birth and as indicated by the prophet
Zachariah worshiping the King the Lord of hosts and keeping the Fest of
Tabernacles are intertwined, they serve the same purpose.
For
thus it is written; “And it shall come to pass that everyone who is left of all
the nations which came against Jerusalem shall go up from year to year to
worship the King, the LORD of hosts, and to keep the Feast of Tabernacles. And
it shall be that whichever of the families of the earth do not come up to
Jerusalem to worship the King, the LORD of hosts, on them there will be no
rain. If the family of Egypt will not come up and enter in, they shall have no
rain; they shall receive the plague with which the LORD strikes the nations who
do not come up to keep the Feast of Tabernacles. This shall be the punishment
of Egypt and the punishment of all the nations that do not come up to keep the
Feast of Tabernacles” (Zechariah
14:16-18).
So
as one can clearly see, observing the Feast of Tabernacles and worshiping the
King of kings and the Lord of hosts are synonymous because, to observe the
Feast of Tabernacles is to worship the King of king and Lord of lords and in
the same token, to worship the King of kings and Lord of lords is to celebrate the Feast of tabernacles, a title and honor which was bestowed on the Lord from birth.
To
those who are still doubtful and skeptical due to their delusions and their
love to the traditions and customs of men rather than the commandments of God,
I can still give three more historical proofs as to when the Word became flesh
and dwelt among us.
