Shemin Etzeret/ Simchat Torah Service Monday Oct 13 7:30 PM

Shemini Etzeret and Simchat Torah are two closely linked holidays celebrated at the conclusion of Sukkot. Shemini Etzeret, meaning “Eighth Day of Assembly,” is a separate festival that marks the end of the harvest season and includes prayers for rain, signifying hope for prosperity in the coming year. Simchat Torah celebrates the completion and renewal of the annual Torah reading cycle.  Join us as we joyfully dance with  the Torah scroll and read the final verses of Deuteronomy before starting again with Genesis, emphasizing the central importance of Torah in in the life of a believer.

 

Key Points of Parashah Sukkot V from a Hebraic Messianic Perspective
Insights Using TLV Bible Verses
 

Introduction
Sukkot, also known as the Feast of Tabernacles, is a significant biblical festival that holds deep meaning in both Jewish tradition and Messianic faith. Parashah Sukkot V focuses on readings and themes that highlight God’s provision, presence, and prophetic promises.

1. The Command to Dwell in Sukkot
The Torah commands the children of Israel to dwell in temporary shelters (sukkot) for seven days to remember the Exodus and God’s protection:
“You are to live in sukkot for seven days. All the native-born in Israel are to live in sukkot so that your generations may know that I had Bnei-Yisrael dwell in sukkot when I brought them out of the land of Egypt. I am Adonai Your God.” (Leviticus 23:42-43, TLV)

• Key Point: Sukkot is a time to recall God’s faithfulness and provision during times of uncertainty.
• Messianic Insight: The temporary nature of the sukkah points to our spiritual journey and reliance on God, and also foreshadows the Messiah’s dwelling among us.

2. Rejoicing Before Adonai
Sukkot is unique among the biblical feasts in its emphasis on joy:
“On the first day you are to take choice fruit of trees, branches of palm trees, boughs of leafy trees, and willows of the brook, and rejoice before Adonai your God for seven days.” (Leviticus 23:40, TLV)

• Key Point: Joy is central to Sukkot, reflecting the grateful response to God’s blessings.
• Messianic Insight: Yeshua (Jesus) spoke of living water during Sukkot (John 7:37-39), inviting all to experience the fullness of joy and the Spirit.

3. The Messianic Fulfillment: Yeshua and Sukkot 
Messianic believers see Sukkot as prophetically significant, pointing to the Messiah:

• Yeshua was born on the first day of Sukkot & circumcised 8 days later on Shemini Etzeret – the feast of the eighth day. 
• Living Water: During the Water Pouring Ceremony at Sukkot, Yeshua declared, “If anyone is thirsty, let him come to Me and drink.” (John 7:37, TLV), connecting the festival’s themes with the promise of the Holy Spirit.
• End Times Hope: Zechariah prophesies that all nations will celebrate Sukkot in the Messianic Age (Zechariah 14:16-19, TLV), pointing to the future reign of Messiah and universal worship.

4. The Unity of All Peoples
Sukkot involves sacrifices for the nations (Numbers 29), symbolizing God’s desire for unity and inclusion. In Messianic thought, Sukkot is a picture of the ingathering of believers from all nations.

• Key Point: The festival anticipates a time when all people will be united in worship of the one true God.
• Messianic Insight: Through Yeshua, both Jew and Gentile are invited to dwell in God’s presence and celebrate His faithfulness.
   

Conclusion
Parashah Sukkot V, viewed through a Hebraic Messianic lens, emphasizes God’s provision, the call to rejoice, the prophetic fulfillment in Yeshua, and the hope of unity and peace in the Messianic Kingdom. The festival invites believers to reflect on God’s presence in our lives and to anticipate the ultimate fulfillment of His promises through Messiah. Sukkot fulfilled is the Wedding Supper of The Lamb with us, his bride.
