Morning by Morning, October 8, 2025 – The Feast of Tabernacles Fulfilled in Jesus

 

Morning by Morning, October 8, 2025 – The Feast of Tabernacles Fulfilled in Jesus


Good morning, Lord Jesus. Put Your thoughts in my mind, Your desires in my heart, Your words in my mouth, as I seek You and seek to follow You today (1 John 4:17). ...


On the cycles of the Biblical Calendar, we’ve entered the season of the Feast of Tabernacles — now fulfilled in Jesus Christ — along with all the feasts and prophecies of the Word of God (Matthew 5:17). As with all the other feasts of the Old Covenant, they are all pointing to You and ultimately fulfilled in You. They all “testify of (You)” (John 5:39). This feast is no different:


“And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us (literally, “tabernacled” among us), and we beheld His glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father, full of grace and truth” (John 1:14).


This Feast of Tabernacles was set forth as one of the “appointed festivals of the Lord,” to be celebrated as “a statute forever in your generations” in the prophetic feasts of Leviticus 23 — to be lived out by Israel in the natural realm of the Old Covenant in the Law and now lived out in the Spirit by all the Body of Christ in the spiritual realm of our New Covenant in Christ:


“Then the Lord spoke to Moses, saying, ‘Speak to the children of Israel, saying: ‘The fifteenth day of this seventh month shall be the Feast of Tabernacles for seven days to the Lord. On the first day there shall be a holy convocation. You shall do no customary work on it. For seven days you shall offer an offering made by fire to the Lord. On the eighth day you shall have a holy convocation, and you shall offer an offering made by fire to the Lord. It is a sacred assembly, and you shall do no customary work on it.


‘These are the feasts of the Lord which you shall proclaim to be holy convocations, to offer an offering made by fire to the Lord, a burnt offering and a grain offering, a sacrifice and drink offerings, everything on its day — besides the Sabbaths of the Lord, besides your gifts, besides all your vows, and besides all your freewill offerings which you give to the Lord.


“Also on the fifteenth day of the seventh month, when you have gathered in the fruit of the land, you shall keep the feast of the Lord for seven days; on the first day there shall be a sabbath-rest, and on the eighth day a sabbath-rest. And you shall take for yourselves on the first day the fruit of beautiful trees, branches of palm trees, the boughs of leafy trees, and willows of the brook; and you shall rejoice before the Lord your God for seven days. You shall keep it as a feast to the Lord for seven days in the year. It shall be a statute forever in your generations. You shall celebrate it in the seventh month. You shall dwell in booths for seven days. All who are native Israelites shall dwell in booths, that your generations may know that I made the children of Israel dwell in booths when I brought them out of the land of Egypt: I am the Lord your God.’ So Moses declared to the children of Israel the feasts of the Lord” (Leviticus 23:33-44).


Come “tabernacle among us” Lord Jesus. Come fill the “tabernacle” of our hearts with Your Spirit. Come pour out Your Holy Fire on the offerings of our hearts. We offer to You our bodies “a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God” as our spiritual act of worship (Romans 12:1). We celebrate the Feast of Your Presence tabernacling with us, even within us, now and always (Matthew 28:20; Romans 8:9). In Jesus’ name I pray. Amen.


Be encouraged today. In the love of Jesus, Tommy Hays


My friend, may your heart be an offering by fire to the Lord, as He lives and moves and "tabernacles" within you, in Jesus' name. God bless you and you have a great day!
