Sukkoth

What is Sukkoth?

SUKKOTH is a seven-day feast commemorating Israel’s 40-year journey through the wilderness.

God delivered them from 430 years of bondage in Egypt, Exodus 12:40. He defeated Pharaoh, the king of Egypt, who held his people in bondage.

God defeated Egypt through a series of miracles. He used lice, a grievous swarm of flies, frogs, and grasshoppers. He used boils. He turned rivers into blood. He used darkness so black that sunlight couldn’t penetrate it. He used thunderbolts. The final judgment was the death of the firstborn of man and animals.

God uses simple things to confront the wise. In this age of AI, God will bypass man’s technology and hit his flesh.

The only people that was spared were those protected by the blood of a lamb.

God lead to them the edge of the Red Sea. Pharaoh sent his army with the latest advanced military hardware.

God strategically dismantled Egypt, saving the best for last. He divided the Red Sea. The people crossed the Red Sea to escape their enemies. When the army pursued Israel, God drowned them in the Sea.

The next stage of their freedom was becoming a nation under the government and leadership of God, their Deliverer

They were about to entered the promised land. God covenant with Abraham give his seed a special land.  A land that flowed with milk and honey. Now it is time to take the land. But the people shrink back in terror. They decided to make a captain to lead them back to Eygpt.

God responded in anger

God responded in anger at their refusal to trust him even though they had seen his mighty works in the land of Egypt.

Hebrews 3:10 says

“Wherefore I was grieved with that generation, and said, They do always err in their hearts; and they have not known my ways.”

One of the lessons from my book “Secrets From The Garden of Eden, God’s Blueprint For Eternal Life”, is that God always, always, always always works through PARTNERSHIP.

God said, “But as truly as I live, all the earth shall be filled with the glory of the LORD.”

He said, those who doubted him, would die in the wilderness. For the next 40 years they did figure 8s in the wilderness. The great lesson for us and them, is trust. They learned discipline in the wilderness.

Moses summed up their 40 years journey, with these words, Deuteronomy 8:2-3

“And thou shalt remember all the way which the LORD thy God led thee these forty years in the wilderness, to humble thee, and to prove thee, to know what was in thine heart, whether thou wouldest keep his commandments, or no. And he humbled thee, and suffered thee to hunger, and fed thee with manna, which thou knewest not, neither did thy fathers know; that he might make thee know that man doth not live by bread only, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of the LORD doth man live.”

Jesus quoted this same verse when Satan challenged him after a 40-day fast in the wilderness, to turn stones into bread:

‘It is written, MAN SHALl NOT live by bread alone but by every word that proceeds out of the mouth of God.’

Moses said, ‘their clothes did not get old upon them, neither did their feet swell during those 40 years.’ Imagine their clothes did not age. God protected their health.

The god of our day is Mammon. The love of money is the root of all evil

One of the tools of Mammon worship is Debt. Debt allows you to bypass dependency on GOD. DEBT GIVES YOU THE POWER TO BYPASS God’s ways of doing things. Get now, pay for it later.

SEED TIME AND HARVEST. God provide seed to sowers, bread for our food and He increases the fruits of our righteousness.

Even though God has given us a Passover Lamb and we have witnessed his miracles for 2000 years, there are those who want to go back into Egypt, back into the beast system, back into slavery to the system of man.

There are church leaders who have put their churches into debt. Cost of living is causing everything double in price. Money is being pulled out of the system, which is causing a tremendous burden on people.

Even though God has given us a land, He made us partakers of the inheritance, the Kingdom of God, and gave us a Passover Ceremony called Communion, which is God in us. There is no stronger covenant, no stronger partnership.

Jesus said, ‘My flesh is meat indeed and my blood is drink indeed. He that eats my flesh and drinks my blood, dwells in me and I in him. As the living Father sent me and I live by him, he eats my flesh, shall live by Me even as I live by my Father.’ John 6:55-57

People have become reliant on government benefits, handouts, and loans. They have invested their hard-earned money, even their lives into the beast system.

Seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness

What does Jesus mean by seeking first the kingdom of God? What is the kingdom of God? A straightforward definition: the kingdom of God is PARTNERSHIP.

Christ in you the hope of glory, Colossians 1:27

The fullness of Christ fills all in all, Ephesians 1:23

Ephesians 4:6, “One God and Father of all, who is above all, and through all, and in you all.”

What is righteousness? Abraham believed in the promises of God, and his faith was counted as righteousness.

Abraham had strong faith. When God promised to give him a son through his wife, Sarah, he didn’t doubt God. He was a hundred years old, and Sarah was ninety years old; they received strength from God to have Isaac.
