Introduction

The final episode on the feasts of the LORD, this time we're talking about the Feast of Tabernacles (or Booths) [Sukkot], Purim, and Hanukkah. Previous feasts were discussed in Let’s Have A Feast and Let’s Have A Feast (Pt. 2).

And it shall come to pass, that every one that is left of all the nations which came against Jerusalem shall even go up from year to year to worship the King, the Lord of hosts, and to keep the feast of tabernacles.

Zechariah 14:16 KJV
