Deuteronomy 16:13“Thou shalt observe the feast of tabernacles seven days, after that thou hast gathered in thy corn and thy wine:”
Keeping tabernacles isn't always easy but very necessary. In the bible it is one if the the required feasts found in Deuteronomy. And in the new earth that will come from the Father it will be required by all. So even if we're cold or not in our element. By keeping it we know the Father is smiling down on his faithful servants.
Zechariah 14:16 “And it shall come to pass, that every one that is left of all the nations which came against Jerusalem shall even go up from year to year to worship the King, the LORD of hosts, and to keep the feast of tabernacles.”
Have you in your everyday life considered what life in a tent would be like?
No bathroom...
No Laundry....
No running water....
No refrigerator......
I look around in my life as an American with all of the excess that we have. Laziness and comfort will be our destruction. The Most High has set up his feasts and his remembrances to teach us valuable lessons and keep us focused on the fact that we are to be pilgrims passing through not allowing ourselves to become attached to the things if this world. Where is your focus? Is it on the natural and the " American dream" or is it on where we are headed? You might say, " well I am doing my best to be focused on the future and making it to the kingdom." Are you??? Look around where ever you are at....... Think of your last shopping trips..... What are the things you are spending your money on? What are you surrounded by? Is it material things or things that will help you to get to the kingdom??
As this feast passed us by where was your focus? Was it on the cares of this modern day world or was it as our fore Fathers and Mothers of the scriptures Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Sarah, and so many others.
Hebrews 11:13 These all died in faith, not having received the promises, but having seen them afar off, and were persuaded of them, and embraced them, and confessed that they were strangers and pilgrims on the earth.14 For they that say such things declare plainly that they seek a country.15 And truly, if they had been mindful of that country from whence they came out, they might have had opportunity to have returned.16 But now they desire a better country, that is, an heavenly: wherefore God is not ashamed to be called their God: for he hath prepared for them a city.
