The Sabbath of Rest
Leviticus Chapter 23
1 And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying,
2 Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them,
Concerning the feasts of the Lord, which ye shall
proclaim to be holy convocations, even these are my
feasts.
3 Six days shall work be done; but the seventh day is
the sabbath of rest, a holy convocation; ye shall do
no work therein; it is the sabbath of the Lord in all
your dwellings.
The Lord’s Passover
4 These are the feasts of the Lord, even holy
convocations, which ye shall proclaim in their seasons.
5 In the fourteenth day of the first month at even
is the Lord's passover.

The Feast of Unleavened Bread
6 And on the fifteenth day of the same month is the
feast of unleavened bread unto the Lord; seven days ye
must eat unleavened bread.
7 In the first day ye shall have a holy convocation; ye
shall do no servile work therein.
8 But ye shall offer an offering made by fire unto the
Lord seven days; in the seventh day is a holy
convocation; ye shall do no servile work therein.
The First-fruits
9 And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying,
10 Speak unto the children of Israel, and say
unto them, When ye be come into the land
which I give unto you, and shall reap the harvest
thereof, then ye shall bring a sheaf of the first-
fruits of your harvest unto the priest;
11 And he shall wave the sheaf before the Lord,
to be accepted for you; on the morrow after
the sabbath the priest shall wave it.
12 And ye shall offer that day when ye wave the sheaf a
he lamb without blemish of the first year for a burnt
offering unto the Lord.
13 And the meat offering thereof shall be two tenth
deals of fine flour mingled with oil, and offering made
by fire unto the Lord for a sweet savor; and the drink
offering thereof shall be of wine, the fourth part of a
hin.
14 And ye shall eat neither bread, nor parched corn, nor
green ears, until the self-same day that ye have brought
an offering unto your God; it shall be a statute for ever
throughout your generations in all your dwellings.
The Festival of Weeks
15 And ye shall count unto you from the morrow after the
sabbath, from the day that ye brought the sheaf of the
wave offering; seven sabbaths shall be complete;
16 Even unto the morrow after the seventh sabbath
shall ye number fifty days; and ye shall offer a new meat
offering unto the Lord.
17 Ye shall bring out of your habitations two wave loaves of
two tenth deals; they shall be of fine flour; they shall be
baken with leaven; they are the first-fruits unto the Lord.
18 And ye shall offer with the bread seven lambs without
blemish of the first year, and one young bullock, and two
rams; they shall be for a burnt offering unto the Lord, with
their meat offering, and their drink offerings, even an
offering made by fire, of sweet savor unto the Lord.
19 Then ye shall sacrifice one kid of the goats for a sin
offering, and two lambs of the first year for a sacrifice
of peace offerings.
20 And the priest shall wave them with the bread of
the first-fruits for a wave offering before the Lord, with
the two lambs; they shall be holy to the Lord for the
priest.
21 And ye shall proclaim on the self-same day, that it
may be a holy convocation unto you; ye shall do no
servile work therein; it shall be a statute for ever in
all your dwellings throughout your generations.
22 And when ye reap the harvest of your land, thou
shalt not make clean riddance of the corners of thy
field when thou reapest, neither shalt thou gather any
gleaning of thy harvest; thou shalt leave them unto the
poor, and to the stranger; I am the Lord your God.
Blowing of Trumpets
23 And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying,
24 Speak unto the children of Israel, saying, In the
seventh month, in the first day of the month, shall
ye have a sabbath, a memorial of blowing of trumpets,
a holy convocation.
25 Ye shall do no servile work therein; but ye shall offer
an offering made by fire unto the Lord.
A Day of Atonement
26 And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying,
27 Also on the tenth day of this seventh month
there shall be a day of atonement; it shall be a holy
convocation unto you; and ye shall afflict your souls,
and offer an offering made by fire unto the Lord.
28 And ye shall do no work in that same day; for it is a
day of atonement, to make an atonement for you
before the Lord your God.
29 For whatsoever soul it be that shall not be afflicted
in that same day, he shall be cut off from among his
people.
30 And whatsoever soul it be that doeth any work
in that same day, the same soul will I destroy from
among his people.
31 Ye shall do no manner of work; it shall be a
statute for ever throughout your generations in all
your dwellings.
32 It shall be unto you a sabbath of rest, and ye
shall afflict your souls; in the ninth day of the
month at even, from even unto even, shall ye
celebrate your sabbath.
Feast of Tabernacles
33 And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying,
34 Speak unto the children of Israel, saying, The fifteenth
day of this seventh month shall be the feast of
tabernacles for seven days unto the Lord.
35 On the first day shall be a holy convocation; ye shall do
no servile work therein.
36 Seven days ye shall offer an offering made by fire unto
the Lord; on the eighth day shall be a holy convocation
unto you, and ye shall offer an offering made by fire unto
the Lord; it is a solemn assembly; and ye shall do no servile
work therein.
37 These are the feasts of the Lord, which ye shall
proclaim to be holy convocations, to offer an offering
made by fire unto the Lord, a burnt offering, and a meat
offering, a sacrifice, and drink offerings, everything upon
his day;
38 Beside the sabbaths of the Lord, and beside your gifts,
and beside all your vows, and beside all your free-will
offerings, which ye give unto the Lord.
39 Also in the fifteenth day of the seventh month,
when ye have gathered in the fruit of the land, ye shall
keep a feast unto the Lord seven days; on the first day
shall be a sabbath, and on the eighth day shall be a
sabbath.
40 And ye shall take you on the first day the boughs of
goodly trees, branches of palm-trees, and the boughs
of thick trees, and willows of the brook; and ye shall
rejoice before the Lord your God seven days.
41 And ye shall keep it a feast unto the Lord
seven days in the year; it shall be a statute for
ever in your generations; ye shall celebrate it
in the seventh month.
42 Ye shall dwell in booths seven days; all
that are Israelites born shall dwell in booths;
43 That your generations may know that I
made the children of Israel to dwell in
booths, when I brought them out of the land
of Egypt; I am the Lord your God.
44 And Moses declared unto the children of
Israel the feasts of the Lord.
Questions about the Feasts
Why should we consider the Feasts of the Lord?
What is the difference between the Hebrew calendar
and the Gregorian calendar?
Who comprises the House of Israel?
Why should we concern ourselves with Jewish
traditions?
Why should we consider the Feasts of the Lord?
Because the Lord said, “even these are my feasts”.
To remember that the Lord brought the Children of Israel
out of the land of Egypt.
The Feasts are for all the House of Israel.
Jesus was of the Tribe of Judah and the House of
David.
They are rehearsals for prophesy fulfilled and to be
fulfilled through Jesus Christ.
What are the differences between the Hebrew calendar
and the Gregorian calendar?
• The Feasts of the Lord are on the Hebrew calendar.
• The Hebrew calendar and our calendar, the Gregorian
calendar, work differently.
• The Gregorian calendar has twelve months of 30 or 31
days and an extra day every four years.
• The Hebrew calendar has 12 months of 29 or 30 days
with a 13th month on a regular pattern.
• For this reason the Feasts of the Lord will be at
different points on the Gregorian calendar year by year.
Who comprises the House of Israel?
Book of Mormon 2 Nephi Chapter 12
50 O ye Gentiles, have ye remembered the Jews, mine
ancient covenant people?
51 Nay; but ye have cursed them, and have hated them,
and have not sought to recover them.
52 But behold, I will return all these things upon your
own heads; for I, the Lord, hath not forgotten my
people.
Who comprises the House of Israel?
Book of Mormon 2 Nephi Chapter 12
75 And now, behold, my beloved brethren, I would speak unto
you: for I, Nephi, would not suffer that ye should suppose that ye
are more righteous than the Gentiles shall be.
76 For behold, except ye shall keep the commandments of God
ye shall all likewise perish; and because of the words which have
been spoken ye need not suppose that the Gentiles are utterly
destroyed.
77 For behold, I say unto you, That as many of the Gentiles as
will repent, are the covenant people of the Lord; and as
many of the Jews as will not repent, shall be cast off;
78 For the Lord covenanteth with none, save it be with them
that repent and believe in his Son, who is the Holy One of
Israel.
Why should we concern ourselves with
Jewish traditions?
For me it is a simple
answer. We believe that
Jesus Christ is the Messiah.
But we have not kept the
feasts. The Jewish people
have actually kept the
feasts all these years. If
they hadn’t we wouldn’t
know anything about
them. We can look to their
traditions for guidance.

Shabbat
From the Doctrine and Covenants
[Sec 119:7a] And the Spirit saith further: Inasmuch as there has been much
discussion in the past concerning the Sabbath of the Lord, the church is
admonished that until further revelation is received, or the quorums of the
church are assembled to decide concerning the law in the church articles and
covenants,
[Sec 119:7b] the Saints are to observe the first day of the week commonly
called the Lord's day, as a day of rest: as a day of worship, as given in the
covenants and commandments.
[Sec 119:7c] And on this day they should refrain from unnecessary work;
nevertheless, nothing should be permitted to go to waste on that day, nor
should necessary work be neglected.
[Sec 119:7d] Be not harsh in judgment but merciful in this, as in all other
things. Be not hypocrites nor of those who make a man an offender for a word.
Revelation given through Joseph Smith III, April 11, 1887, at Kirtland, Ohio.
How do Jewish people celebrate the
Sabbath?
The Sabbath is the
seventh day of the
Hebrew week. On our
calendar it is Friday at
sunset. The Jewish
people begin with a
ritual in which the
woman of the house
lights two candles and
recites a blessing right
before sunset.
image copyright Bitsela, used courtesy of free-bitsela.com
Shabbat includes the head of
the house reciting a blessing
on the wine and on two loaves
of challah bread. Meals are
festive and leisurely.
They also attend services and
study the Torah.
They go for walks and other
leisurely activities and rest.

There are blessings for the end
of the Sabbath Saturday
evening.
A word about sabbaths . . . .
The seventh day of every week is a sabbath.
But, there are also sabbaths which can be on any day
of the week. Some of the feast days are considered
sabbaths. The scriptures use the words “Holy
convocations” and “do no servile work”.
Because of this there is a discrepancy between
Shavu’ot for the Jewish people and Pentecost for the
Christian people.
The rabbis chose a feast day sabbath to begin the
count of the Omer and Christians chose the weekly
sabbath as the counting of days to Pentacost.

Day of Preparation
Evening of April 5-Evening of April 6, 2012
What was happening to the Children of Israel
at the Lord’s Passover?
On the 14th day of the
month, Nisan, the
Children of Israel killed a
lamb in the afternoon
and painted the blood
on their lintel. Then they
roasted the lamb and
prepared the meal before
they would be ejected
from Egypt.

Jesus born Nisan 10
Before the temple, on Nisan
10 the lambs were taken into
the home to be inspected.
The first ones to visit Jesus
were not just ordinary
shepherds. These shepherds
raised the lambs for the
temple. On Nisan 10 the
lambs for the sacrifice were
taken to the temple and
inspected to make sure they
were perfect.
Jesus was born on Nisan 10? How can we know
this?
3 Nephi chapter 1 and chapter 4
Samuel the Lamanite prophesied the events of Jesus
Christ’s birth and death.
At Jesus’ birth the signs were fulfilled.
The people began counting the years.
On the fourth day of the 34th year the darkness and
earthquake came which signified Jesus Christ’s death.
That would be Nisan 14, Passover.

How do Jewish people celebrate
the Passover?
On this day present day Jewish people
prepare for the Passover. In scripture
it is called the day of preparation.
They clean all leavened food out of the
house and get ready for the Seder
meal on the 15th of Nisan.
There is also a Fast of the Firstborn.
The firstborn males fast as
commemoration of the night when
Israel’s firstborn were spared from
death. Copy-right-free-pictures.org .uk
The 14th of Nisan is the day the lamb
was killed in Egypt and in the Temple.
It is the day that Jesus Christ died.
Bedikat Chametz
(Search for Leavening)
Leavening is symbolic of sin.
Before the 15th of Nisan all
leavened foods, including
crumbs, need to be cleaned
out or the house. At the end
of cleaning some crumbs are
left for the children to search
for and find. They use a
candle to look in the dark, a
feather to sweep the crumbs
onto a wooden spoon. They
blow out the candle and then
put everything in a paper bag
to be burned.

Nisan 14 and April 6
The anniversary of the day the Church of Jesus Christ of
Latter Day Saints was organized in 1830 is not April 6th.
The anniversary of the day the church was organized is the
14th of Nisan. In 1830 the 14th of Nisan fell on April 6th and
7th of the Gregorian calendar.
The day that the Passover lamb was killed, and the day that
Jesus Christ was killed is the 14th of Nisan on the Hebrew
calendar.
A new day in the Hebrew calendar always begins at sunset.
April 5th and 6th, 1860 was the 14th of Nisan. That day the
church was reorganized as the Reorganized Church of Jesus
Christ of Latter Day Saints.

What was happening to the Children of Israel
at the Feast of Unleavened Bread?
Exodus 12
30 And Pharaoh rose up in the night, he, and all
his servants, and all the Egyptians; and there was a
great cry in Egypt; for there was not a house where
there was not one dead.
31 And he called for Moses and Aaron by night,
and said, Rise up, and get you forth from among
my people, both ye and the children of Israel; and
go, serve the Lord, as ye have said.
32 Also take your flocks and your herds, as ye have
said, and be gone; and bless me also.
33 And the Egyptians were urgent upon the
people, that they might send them out of the land
in haste; for they said, We have found our
firstborn all dead; therefore get ye out of the land
lest we die also.
34 And the people took their dough before it was
leavened, their kneading troughs being bound up
in their clothes upon their shoulders.

15th of Nisan
Numbers 33
3 And they departed from Rameses in
the first month, on the fifteenth day
of the first month; on the morrow
after the passover the children of Israel
went out with a high hand in the sight
of all the Egyptians.
4 For the Egyptians buried all their
firstborn, which the Lord had smitten
among them; upon their gods also the
Lord executed judgments.
5 And the children of Israel removed
from Rameses, and pitched in Succoth.
thebiblerevival.com
Jesus had to be in the tomb before the Feast
of Unleavened Bread.
• The reason leavening is forbidden
during the Feast of Unleavened
Bread is to remember that the
Children of Israel left Egypt so fast
that they could not leaven their
bread.
Leavening is also symbolic of sin.
Sin must be cleaned out of the
house.
Jesus Christ was in the tomb for the
first days of the Feast of Unleavened
Bread. Since he was the Son of God
he was the only person ever alive to
be free of sin, the only one who
could make this sacrifice.

How do Jewish people celebrate
the Feast of Unleavened Bread?
For the Jewish people
the 15th of Nisan is the
official beginning of
the Passover, or
Pasach. It lasts for
seven or eight days. In
scripture this is listed
as three separate feasts

which all encompass
Nisan 14 through Nisan
21.
The Seder Meal
The very first Seder meal was observed the night
before the Children of Israel left Egypt.
It is a festive and ritual meal to remember the
story of their bondage in Egypt and how God
delivered them.
It includes wine, unleavened bread, and bitter
herbs. There is also charoset, a mixture of
chopped apples, nuts, spices and wine.
They used to eat lamb or goat when the temple
was in existence. Now they eat other meats as
well, such as turkey and beef and salmon.
The Seder plate is a teaching aid and also
includes parsley or lettuce, a shank bone, and a

What was happening to the Children of Israel on
the Feast of First-fruits?
“Some Jewish scholars believe that in
the original Passover the Jews would
have received their freedom on
Sunday, the day Pharaoh drowned in
the sea and the same day the Christ
rose from the dead. Pharaoh’s death
released all ownership rights freeing
Israel to continue on into the
Promised Land! On Nisan 17, when
Israel emerged from the Red Sea, this
emergence was a shadow of the
fulfillment of the day of resurrection
and Firstfruits (Lev. 23:9-14).”

Jesus Christ is the First-fruits
of us all
Jesus was arisen by the
morning of the first day of
the week, Sunday for us.
There is some controversy
and confusion about which
sabbath is the First-fruits.
The Jews say the Sabbath
of the 15th of Nisan. Others
speculate the weekly
sabbath. Jesus rose on

the first day of the week,
after the weekly sabbath.
How do Jewish people celebrate
the Day of First-fruits?
On the 16th of Nisan, the
day after the Sabbath of
the Feast of Unleavened
Bread, the Jewish people
begin a counting of 50
days until Shavu’ot or

The First Festival of Weeks the Children of Israel
were meeting God
And mount Sinai was
altogether on a smoke,
because the Lord
descended upon it in
fire; and the smoke
thereof ascended as the
smoke of a furnace, and
the whole mount quaked
greatly. (Exodus 19)
At Mount Sinai
Biblical-art.com
The people actually heard God's voice speaking to
them. But they were afraid of the thunder,
lightening, noise of trumpets, and smoke. They
said to Moses, "You talk with God and then tell us
what He says. We are afraid."
So Moses went to talk with God and God told him
to tell the people, "You have heard My voice from
heaven." But after that the people would not listen
to God's voice directly, Moses must talk with Him
because they were too afraid. (From Exodus
Chapter 20)
We know the Festival of Weeks as
Pentecost
On the day of
Pentecost Christ’s
disciples were gathered
together. The Holy
Ghost rested upon
their heads like flames.
3000 men were
converted to Jesus
Christ that day.
www.lostseed.com
The Book of Ruth is read at the Festival of Weeks
Ruth came from Moab with her mother-
in-law, Naomi. She gleaned barley and
wheat in the fields of Boaz.
On the night that the people celebrated
the barley harvest on the barley
threshing floor, Ruth lay at Boaz’ feet
and under his cloak. As a close male
relative to her late husband, he
eventually claimed her as his wife.
For Christians the story of Ruth and
Boaz is the story of the kinsman
redeemer, which is a type and shadow of
Jesus Christ and the church.
www.bible-art.info
Jewish people know the Festival of
Weeks as Shavu’ot
They celebrate the giving of the Torah, the wheat
harvest and they eat dairy foods perhaps in
celebration of the land of milk and honey.
My own personal speculation
concerning Pentecost and the
Restoration
“[Sec 119:7a] And the Spirit saith
further: Inasmuch as there has been
much discussion in the past
concerning the Sabbath of the Lord,
the church is admonished that until
further revelation is received, or the
quorums of the church are assembled
to decide concerning the law in the
church articles and covenants,”
I feel like we are waiting at the Feast of
Weeks. Jesus rose the first day of the
week, Sunday for us. Pentacost would
always be on Sunday for us. “Even
unto the morrow after the seventh
sabbath shall ye number fifty
days;” lavistachurchofchrist.org

Rosh Hashanah (Head of the Year)
Yom Teruah
Evening of September 16-Evening of September 18, 2012

http://www.jewfaq.org/holiday0.htm#Extra
The Jewish calendar is lunar, with each month beginning on the new
moon. The new months used to be determined by observation. When the
new moon was observed, the Sanhedrin declared the beginning of a new
month and sent out messengers to tell people when the month began.
People in distant communities could not always be notified of the new
moon (and therefore, of the first day of the month), so they did not know
the correct day to celebrate. They knew that the old month would be
either 29 or 30 days, so if they didn't get notice of the new moon, they
celebrated holidays on both possible days.
Rosh Hashanah is celebrated as two days everywhere (in Israel and
outside Israel), because it occurs on the first day of a month. Messengers
were not dispatched on the holiday, so even people in Israel did not know
whether a new moon had been observed, and everybody celebrated two
days. The practice was also maintained as a custom after the
mathematical calendar was adopted.
What was happening to the Children of Israel at the
Feast of Trumpets?
I couldn’t find any specific occurance for the Children
of Israel during the Exodus.
This is the beginning of the civil year, when Israel blew
the shofars.
This is when they crowned their kings.
It is also the start of ten days to the Day of Atonement,
called the Days of Awe. For these ten day the people
repent and make things right with God and their
fellow men.
Some people believe that Jesus will come in His Glory,
as King, on the Feast of Trumpets
1 Thessalonians Chapter 4
16 For the Lord himself shall
descend from heaven with a
shout, with the voice of the
archangel, and with the
trump of God; and the dead
in Christ shall rise first;
17 Then they who are alive,
shall be caught up together
into the clouds with them
who remain, to meet the Lord
in the air; and so shall we be
ever with the Lord.
18 Wherefore comfort one
another with these words.

How do Jewish people celebrate
the Blowing of Trumpets?
This day is called Rosh
Hashanah for the Jewish people.
It is the first day of the civil year.
This is the day they blow the
shofar, a ram’s horn. They bake
their challah bread in a ring like
a crown. They dip pieces of
apple into honey for a sweet new
year.
One ritual is to walk to some
running water and throw
breadcrumbs into the water.
This is symbolic of getting rid of
sin.

Blowing of Trumpets

What was happening to the Children of Israel
at the Day of Atonement?
The Children of Israel had
made and worshipped a
golden calf. Moses pleaded
for them and went up on
the mountain for a second
forty days. When he came
back down with the second
set of tablets the Children
of Israel knew that they
were forgiven for their

Was this the Day of Luke Chapter 4
Atonement?
16 And he came to Nazareth, where he had
Jubilee years are proclaimed on the been brought up; and as his custom was he
Day of Atonement. went into the synagogue on the Sabbath
day, and stood up to read.
Jubilee is described in Leviticus 17 And there was delivered unto him, the
chapter 25 when all things are book of the prophet Esaias. And when he
restored. had opened the book, he found the place
where it was written,
18 The Spirit of the Lord is upon me,
because he hath anointed me to preach the
gospel to the poor, he hath sent me to heal
the broken- hearted, to preach deliverance
to the captives, and the recovering of sight
to the blind; to set at liberty them that are
bruised;
19 To preach the acceptable year of the
Lord.
20 And he closed the book, and he gave it
again to the minister, and he sat down.
http://www.lostseed.com
21 And the eyes of all those who were in the synagogue, were fastened on him. And
he began to say unto them, This day is this Scripture fulfilled in your ears.
22 And all bare him witness, and wondered at the gracious words which proceeded
out of his mouth. And they said, Is not this Joseph's son?
23 And he said unto them, Ye will surely say unto me this proverb, Physician, heal
thyself. Whatsoever we have heard was done in Capernaum, do also here in thy
country.
24 And he said, Verily I say unto you, No prophet is accepted in his own country.
25 But I tell you the truth, many widows were in Israel in the days of Elias, when the
heaven was shut up three years and six months, and great famine was throughout
all the land;
26 But unto none of them was Elias sent, save unto Sarepta, of Sidon, unto a
woman who was a widow.
27 And many lepers were in Israel, in the time of Eliseus the prophet; and none of
them were cleansed, save Naaman the Syrian.
28 And all they in the synagogue, when they heard these things, were filled with
wrath,
29 And rose up, and thrust him out of the city, and led him unto the brow of the
hill, whereon their city was built, that they might cast him down headlong.
30 But he, passing through the midst of them, went his way,
And Jesus Christ’s reading from Isaiah which is
yet to be fulfilled
Isaiah Chapter 61
1 The Spirit of the Lord God is upon me; because the Lord hath anointed
me to preach good tidings unto the meek; he hath sent me to bind up the
brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the
prison to them that are bound;
2 To proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord, and the day of vengeance
of our God; to comfort all that mourn;
3 To appoint unto them that mourn in Zion; to give unto them beauty for
ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, the garment of praise for the spirit of
heaviness; that they might be called trees of righteousness, the planting of
the Lord, that he might be glorified.
How do Jewish people celebrate
Yom Kippur?
This is one of the most
important days of the year for
the Jewish people. They fast
for the entire day and look
into their souls, confessing
their sins and repenting.
In the days of the temple it is
the day that the scapegoat
was sent into the wilderness
and thrown off a cliff.
After Jesus read from Isaiah
the people tried to throw
Jesus off the cliff.
The Jubilee Year was to be every 49 years and
was to be announced on the Day of
Atonement.
The theme of the jubilee years is restoration.
A man named Mark Biltz has a theory that the Day of Atonement in the year
2015 is a Jubilee year.
Remembering to count Hebrew calendar years, counting back 49 years,
Jerusalem was restored to Israel on June 7, 1967.
Remembering to count Hebrew calendar years, counting back 49 years four
times, Joseph Smith Jr. had his vision in the grove sometime in the Spring of
1820.

2 Speak unto the children of Israel, that they bring me an offering; of
every man that giveth it willingly with his heart ye shall take my
offering.

and brass,

5 And rams' skins dyed red, and badgers' skins and shittim wood,

Jesus Christ
and the Feast of Tabernacles
Mark 9
1 And after six days Jesus taketh Peter, and
James, and John, who asked him many
questions concerning his sayings; and Jesus
leadeth them up into a high mountain apart
by themselves. And he was transfigured before
them.
2 And his raiment became shining, exceeding
white, as snow; so white as no fuller on earth
could whiten them.
3 And there appeared unto them Elias with
Moses, or in other words, John the Baptist and
Moses; and they were talking with Jesus.
4 And Peter answered and said to Jesus,
Master, it is good for us to be here; and let us
make three tabernacles; one for thee, and one
for Moses, and one for Elias; for he knew not
what to say; for they were sore afraid.
5 And there was a cloud that overshadowed
them; and a voice came out of the cloud, www.lostseed.com
saying, This is my beloved Son; hear him. Transfiguration on the Mountain
Jesus observed all the feasts
John 7
2 Now the Jews' feast of tabernacles was at hand.
8 [Jesus speaking] Go ye up unto this feast; I go not up yet unto this feast; for
my time is not yet full come.
9 When he had said these words unto them, he continued still in Galilee.
10 But after his brethren were gone up, then went he also up unto the feast,
not openly, but as it were in secret.
14 Now about the midst of the feast Jesus went up into the temple, and
taught.
37 In the last day, that great day of the feast, Jesus stood and cried, saying, If
any man thirst, let him come unto me, and drink.
38 He that believeth on me, as the Scripture hath said, out of his belly shall
flow rivers of living water.
The Feast of Tabernacles Yet to be Fulfilled
Zechariah Chapter 14
3 Then shall the Lord go forth, and fight against those nations, as when
he fought in the day of battle.
4 And his feet shall stand in that day upon the mount of Olives, which
is before Jerusalem on the east, and the mount of Olives shall cleave in
the midst thereof . . .
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.
17 And it shall be, that whoso will not come up of all the families of the
earth unto Jerusalem to worship the King, the Lord of hosts, even upon
them shall be no rain.
18 And if the family of Egypt go not up, and come not, that have no rain;
there shall be the plague, wherewith the Lord will smite the heathen
that come not up to keep the feast of tabernacles.
19 This shall be the punishment of Egypt, and the punishment of all
nations that come not up to keep the feast of tabernacles.
The Jewish people celebrate the Feast of
Tabernacles by living in sukkahs
The Jewish people build
little temporary shelters
called sukkahs to
remember the Children of
Israel in the wilderness.
One or one and a half sides
are open. The roof is of
branches and things that
grew. They must be able to
see the stars through it.
They eat, perhaps sleep,
and generally have a good
time in it .

On the Feast of Tabernacles the Jewish
people wave the lulav and etrog
Leviticus 23:40
And ye shall take you on the first day
the boughs of goodly trees, branches
of palm-trees, and the boughs of
thick trees, and willows of the brook;
and ye shall rejoice before the Lord
your God seven days.
An etrog looks like a big ugly lemon.
It is the ancestor of lemons and other
citrus fruits. It smells wonderful.
