Judaism and Zionism are 100% incompatible, vol. II, pt. I: the Feast of Tabernacles explained
...Keep Calm And Smash Zionazi Jesuitry...
Now yes, you’re looking at the title and very likely wondering, where was vol. I?? For “simplicity” and organization sake, let’s just consider this scattered collection of these five previous theological expositions the comprisal of “volume I”:
Anyways: recently there was a nasty dispute I quarreled in with some other people in the pro-Palestine community over whether Zion(az)ism is a legitimate incarnation of Judaism (some of the remarks directed against me were… well, I’d slightly rather not requote here). For those of you caught up on reading this publication and still patriotically stick with me (greatly appreciate those who do!) in spite of the unfortunate departures of some, the answer to that question is an assuredly solid “no.” Yet the full proof and its meaningfully implicating corollaries continue…
What is the Feast of Tabernacles?
Long story short: in Mosaic Judaism, it is one of the seven annual feasts ordained by Jehovah in the Torah, more specifically among the five explicitly “added” after the Hebrews’ liberation from Egypt (the two already instituted before the forty-year-long1 wandering was Passover2 and Unleavened Bread3). The Third Book of Moses states:4
And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, speak unto the children of Israel, saying, The fifteenth day of this seventh month shall be the feast of tabernacles for seven days unto the LORD. On the first day shall be an holy convocation: ye shall do no servile work therein. Seven days ye shall offer an offering made by fire unto the LORD: on the eighth day shall be an holy convocation unto you; and ye shall offer an offering made by fire unto the LORD: it is a solemn assembly; and ye shall do no servile work therein.
Of course, the tabernacle in the time of the Mosaic Covenant was the earthly sanctuary whose details were given by Jehovah in Ex. 25-40. The tabernacle represented the continual abode of none other than God Himself among His faithful adherents. As the LORD told Moses:5
And let them make me a sanctuary; that I may dwell among them.
Most interesting about the Feast of Tabernacles (or “Feast of Booths”) (IMO) is that its conclusion is a Sabbath-like rest on a specially designated eighth day rather than seventh. Explanatory elaborations coming up soon, no doubt. :)
(by the way: as of writing, today is the second day of the 2024 Feast of Tabernacles)
Antitypical relevance
If you recall the substantive gist of those previous five postings, it’s no surprise then that the true Israel of today are the apostolic Christians redeemed by the shed blood of the Son of God and abide by the commandments of Jehovah. Remember likewise that literalized Jewish “types” in the Old/Mosaic Covenant pointed to a greater fulfilled superiority of fullness in the New Covenant “antitype”:6
If therefore perfection were by the Levitical priesthood, (for under it the people received the law,) what further need was there that another priest should rise after the order of Melchisedec, and not be called after the order of Aaron? For the priesthood being changed, there is made of necessity a change also of the law.
Remember: the Lord Jesus Christ was crucified by a Roman/Herodian-controlled Levitical priesthood within Judea: the key conspirator, Caiaphas, was the (earthly) high priest of the (earthly) Temple.7 Superior to the earthly priesthood of such 1st-century grotesque backsliders and apostates is the eternal perfect priesthood of no one other than Adonai (Jesus)!8 Just as Paul9 asserted in the above quoted excerpt, the crucifixion of Jesus and His subsequent ministry in the heavenly sanctuary10 necessitates a change of the law. Not its outright abolishment/fading away as some suggest, since Christ made clear in the Sermon on the Mount:11
Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil. For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled. Whosoever therefore shall break one of these least commandments, and shall teach men so, he shall be called the least in the kingdom of heaven: but whosoever shall do and teach them, the same shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven.
‘Offerings’ and ‘fire’
Allow us to decode what this means for the Feast of Tabernacles: first off, there is a command to “offer an offering made by fire unto the LORD.”12 Since Christians now live in the biblical antitype according to the New Covenant, offerings are no longer of the literalized “format.” Neither is the fire literal, “for our God is a consuming FIRE.”13 The Book of Revelation provides a more specific insight:14
…And out of the throne proceeded lightnings and thunderings and voices: and there were seven lamps of fire burning before the throne, which are the seven Spirits of God.
IOWs, the true and eternal fire is the Spirit of Eloah, here in Revelation described as stemming from the seven candlesticks of the heavenly sanctuary in John the Apostle/Revelator’s shown vision. For quick clarification: the Holy Spirit is one, not seven, and here in Revelation, the description of “seven Spirits of God” is in concurrent tandem with the seven candlesticks and seven churches, where sevenfold completion is used to depict the seven church periods of time, one candlestick and Spirit corresponding to each time period to convey God’s wonderfully perpetual and consistent presence.
And as the introducing passage of the Epistle to the Hebrews quotes the Psalms:15
…who [the LORD] maketh his angels spirits; his ministers a flaming fire…
In essence, the idea here is that “fire” in biblical symbolism represents the energetic zeal and fullness of the Holy Spirit. IOWs, in New Testament antitype, the offerings of the feast days are to spiritually reflect a sincere heart of honoring Jehovah and preaching His light.16 Observe carefully:17
By him therefore let us offer the sacrifice of praise to God continually, that is, the fruit of our lips giving thanks to his name. But to do good and to communicate forget not: for with such sacrifices God is well pleased.
And again in the New Testament:18
Ye also, as lively stones, are built up a spiritual house, an holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices, acceptable to God by Jesus Christ.
The eternally marvelous tabernacle
Recall the analysis of Jer. 31 and Ezek. 37 (in conjunction with the prophet Osee/Hosea) from the lengthy posting about whether Zion(az)istic “Jews” are legitimate Jews? (side note spoiler: you should know the answer by now…) Let’s look at the same Ezekiel passage a bit further:19
Moreover I will make a covenant of peace with them; it shall be an everlasting covenant with them: and I will place them, and multiply them, and will set my sanctuary in the midst of them for evermore. My tabernacle also shall be with them: yea, I will be their God, and they shall be my people.
The covenant here is the same “new covenant” prophesied by Jeremiah,20 mentioned by the angel Gabriel to Daniel,21 and declared by Jesus in the Last Supper.22 Note here that God’s tabernacle is explicitly mentioned. Com. Amos’s final oracle:23
Behold, the eyes of the LORD God are upon the sinful kingdom, and I will destroy it from off the face of the earth; saving that I will not utterly destroy the house of Jacob, saith the LORD. For, lo, I will command, and I will sift the house of Israel among all nations, like as corn is sifted in a sieve, yet shall not the least grain fall upon the earth.
…
In that day will I raise up the tabernacle of David that is fallen, and close up the breaches thereof; and I will raise up his ruins, and I will build it as in the days of old: that they may possess the remnant of Edom, and of all the heathen, which are called by my name, saith the LORD that doeth this.
Note that the Ezekiel 37 passage explicitly quotes the prophet Hosea:
And I will sow her unto me in the earth; and I will have mercy upon her that had not obtained mercy; and I will say to them which were not my people, Thou art my people; and they shall say, Thou art my God.
And once again: for those of you who read my post proving Zionist “Jews” aren’t legitimately Jewish, remember what I cited of how both Paul and Peter24 quote this Osee prophecy and apply it to the backsliding Gentiles’ conversion to the true faith?
Remember what God commanded Moses on the earthly sanctuary’s construction:25
According to all that I shew thee, after the pattern of the tabernacle, and the pattern of all the instruments thereof, even so shall ye make it.
And recall what I said earlier about how the sanctuary represents God’s presence? As the famous prophecy of Isaiah was fulfilled:26
Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, and they shall call his name Emmanuel, which being interpreted is, God with us.
The final recorded words of Jesus in the Gospel according to Matthew:27
…All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth. Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you always, even unto the end of the world. Amen.
IOWs, in antitype the Feast of Tabernacles is clearly—from the clear-cut Scripture-to-Scripture correspondence as plainly stated—a commemoration of God’s eternal comforting abode with His people, the faithful believers who lovingly in truth and spirit28 keep His commandments and the faith of Jesus.29
Biblical eights
The number eight in the Bible is linked to newness/new beginnings immediately following sevenfold completion. Jesus rose on the first day of the week, though in viewed as continuing from the previous week can be considered the eighth day. In the Book of Ezekiel, an “eighth day” is mentioned once:30
Seven days shall they purge the altar and purify it; and they shall consecrate themselves. And when these days are expired, it shall be, that upon the eighth day, and so forward, the priests shall make your burnt offerings upon the altar, and your peace offerings; and I will accept you, saith the Lord God.
As the Apostle Peter declared:31
…one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day.
Assuming the story follows the Sabbath cycle of six work days + one rest day, very certainly the 6,000-year-old-planet theory fits perfectly into the implied biblical narrative: the earth endures 6,000 years of humanity and rests for one earth during the Millennium when the saints reign in heaven.32 After the completed seven thousand years and Final Judgment punishment of every demon and wicked person to eternal perishing, there comes then the eighth millennium marking the beginning of eternal peace, symbolically represented by the Eighth Day as the final conclusion to each year’s Jehovah-ordained seven feasts. Just a theory. :)
Fourth Reich ‘Judeo’-Nazism’s irreconcilable remoteness from the true Judaism
…let the horse’s mouth speak for itself sometimes:
Do I even need to get into the Zionazis’ unending slaughter of tens of thousands of innocents, most notably the most infinitely priceless souls of tenderhearted children? Well, if you’re unaware, here’s the Holocaustically gruesome reality in Gaza:
The unbearable horrors to behold… <sigh/>… wrap up:
“Then shall he say also unto them on the left hand, Depart from me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels: for I was an hungred, and ye gave me no meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me no drink: I was a stranger, and ye took me not in: naked, and ye clothed me not: sick, and in prison, and ye visited me not. Then shall they also answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee an hungred, or athirst, or a stranger, or naked, or sick, or in prison, and did not minister unto thee? Then shall he answer them, saying, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as YE DID IT NOT TO ONE OF THE *LEAST* OF THESE, ye did it not to me. And these shall go away into everlasting punishment: but the righteous into life eternal.” —Matthew 25:41-46
