Jesus in the Feast of Tabernacles The most joyful of Israel's festivals is Sukkot (Feast of Tabernacles). It is celebrated at the end of the harvest when the hearts of the people are full of gladness as they reap their crops, remembering that six months earlier, they had dedicated the entire harvest to the Lord by their offering of firstfruits. Now, not only were their barns full, but their hearts were overflowing with joy and thanksgiving for God's provision!
