Today is the Feast of Tabernacles (Sukkot) in Australia – on my calendar (see Feast Calendar).
This is also my 200th post!
Shabbat shalom! Today – Saturday, October 13th, 2018 – is the first day of Sukkot, otherwise known as the Feast of Tabernacles or Booths (which is one of the Torah feasts and still applies). It is described in Leviticus 23:
And Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying, Speak to the sons of Israel, saying, In the fifteenth day of this seventh month shall be a Feast of Booths seven days to Jehovah. On the first day shall be a holy gathering; you shall do no work of service.

(I confess I had to google for the first half – LOL.)

Thanks JM! I tried to google it, but there was so much detail that it became confusing. I love that He was crucified on Passover and raised on Firstfruits!
