The Shaking of Nations - A Harvest Tsunami Is On Its Way....

I have already identified the Feast of Pentecost as the Jewish

celebration of the first fruits of harvest — clearly associated with

the early rains. As New Testament believers we can recognize

that Pentecost represents the early fruits of the first outpouring

of the Holy Spirit, launching the beginning of the harvest. Yet,

if we see prophetic truths in the celebrations of Passover and

Pentecost, can we not also see prophetic truth in the Feast of

Tabernacles?

The Feast of Tabernacles commemorates the 40 years Israel

lived in tents in the wilderness (as God decreed in Numbers

14:33-34) and how God provided for the nation during those

wanderings. It is also known as the Feast of Sukkot (Lev. 23:40

43). Israel was to celebrate this festival by building temporary

booths to live in for seven weeks each year, as a reminder of

the 40 years in the wilderness. There were two parts to the start of the observance: 14

• A priest carried water from the pool of Siloam to the

Temple, symbolizing that when the Messiah comes, the

whole earth will know God “as the waters cover the sea”

(Isa. 11:9).
