Helping Christians make sense of their roots. Helping Jews make sense of Jesus.

On this episode of The Jewish Road Podcast:

In "From Feast to Forever: Sukkot and the Coming Kingdom," we unpack the richness and layers of Sukkot, also known as the Feast of Tabernacles. Beginning with its historical roots, we show how Sukkot serves as a mirror for God's desire to be present with His people. The festival isn't just a one-off event, it's deeply connected to a theme woven into the fabric of the meta-narrative. From the Garden of Eden to future prophecies, God's ultimate goal has always been to dwell among His people.

There are some little-known aspects of Sukkot, including its extensive number of sacrifices. Ever wonder why 70 bulls were sacrificed during this holiday? It's a figure symbolizing God's outreach to the nations of the world. We discuss the significance of this ritual ending in 70 AD and its implications for the future.

This episode also explores how Sukkot appears in the New Testament, specifically in the story of the Transfiguration. Like the disciples, many of us find ourselves asking: When will He bring the kingdom?

As we move through the episode, we'll see that the festival of Sukkot provides valuable insights into this question.

If you've pondered God's bigger plan for humanity, this episode offers a look into how Sukkot encapsulates both God's past actions and future promises. You'll find a deepening understanding of this feast as not just an ancient tradition, but a vital part of God's ongoing narrative with us.
