HOW AND WHEN IS TABERNACLES TO BE FULFILLED?
To get to the answer to this question, let us look more closely at this Feast, as to its meaning and manner of observance.
LET’S HAVE A PARTY!!!
THE FEAST OF YAHWEH’S GLORY
(Unless otherwise indicated, the Scriptures quoted are from the NAS)
The Bible tells us that in the Olden Days, Daddy Yahweh, Father God, the Lord of all Creation, commissioned, implemented, commanded, started, invented:
3 major yearly parties, observances, celebrations, feasts .
1. The Feast of Passover
2. The Feast of Pentecost
3. The Feast of Tabernacles (Booths, Sukkot, Glory)
There are 4 main things to keep in mind about these Feasts:
1. Their historical origin.
2. Their historical observance
3. Their historical fulfillment
4. Their personal application
The Historical Origin:
1. Passover = When the Death Angel Passed over them.
2. Pentecost = When God provided early harvest each Spring
3. Tabernacles = When God’s glory was with them in the Desert
The Historical Yearly Observance:
1. Passover = Kill the Passover Lamb and eat it, ready to go.
2. Pentecost = A Day of Thanksgiving to God for the First fruits.
3. Tabernacles = Live in shelters, enjoy thoughts of God’s glory.
The Historical Fulfillment: (On the literal calendar date!)
1. Passover = When Christ our Passover Lamb was sacrificed.
2. Pentecost = When the Holy Spirit was bestowed on the Church
3. Tabernacles = ? ? ? NEVER HISTORICALLY FULFILLED!!!
The personal application pertaining to each of the Feasts is as follows:
1. Passover = Salvation from sin - Rev.3:20
2. Pentecost = Baptism and infilling of the Holy Spirit - Acts 2, 3
3. Tabernacles = Glorification - Rom.8; 2 Cor.3:7-18; Jn.17:22

The Feast of Unleavened Bread (same as Passover)
