The Triumph of the Kingdom
Why Do Christians Celebrate the Feast of Tabernacles? By: Malcolm Hedding, International Christian Embassy Jerusalem, 27 Aug 2018 The yearly celebration of the Feast of Tabernacles [also known as Succot] is one of the three great annual and biblically-required festivals; the other two being Passover and Pentecost. These biblical Feasts have great significance in that they all speak of the glorious redemptive plan of God.

“Comfort, comfort my people” Israel was miraculously reborn as a modern nation 70 years ago on May 14, 1948, one of the most pivotal days in history… Christians around the world are joining with the people of Israel to celebrate the landmark anniversary of this historic moment in time.

Celebrating Tu b’Shevat This year on February 10-11 we join with the Jewish community in celebrating a minor Jewish holiday, Tu b’Shevat, often referred to as the new year (or “birthday”) of the trees. The holiday originated in the Talmud, and was based on the date chosen for calculating the agricultural cycle of taking tithes from the produce of the trees, which were brought as first-fruit offerings to the Temple in Jerusalem. Tu b’Shevat gets its name from the date in the Jewish calendar on which the holiday occurs, the 15th of the month of Shevat. How is Tu b’Shevat celebrated? The...
