The Feast of Tabernacles: A Christian Holy Day
What is the Feast of Tabernacles? Is there any relevance for the modern Christian? Interestingly enough, this Holy Day is one has some of the clearest scriptural grounding to provide Christian relevance. Zechariah 14 provides us not only with an example of the Feast of Tabernacles after the return of Jesus Christ, but also presents a dire warning of what will happen to the nations of the Earth that do not go to celebrate the Feast:
“Then the survivors from all the nations that have attacked Jerusalem will go up year after year to worship the King, the Lord Almighty, and to celebrate the Festival of Tabernacles. If any of the peoples of the earth do not go up to Jerusalem to worship the King, the Lord Almighty, they will have no rain. If the Egyptian people do not go up and take part, they will have no rain. The Lord will bring on them the plague he inflicts on the nations that do not go up to celebrate the Festival of Tabernacles. This will be the punishment of Egypt and the punishment of all the nations that do not go up to celebrate the Festival of Tabernacles.” (Zechariah 14:16-19)
