The Feast of Tabernacles

The prophet Zechariah envisions a time when all nations will come up to Jerusalem “to worship the Lord and to keep the Feast of Tabernacles” (Zechariah 14:16). In keeping with this vision, the ICEJ sponsors an annual Feast of Tabernacles celebration which has become the largest annual Christian gathering in Israel. Since 1980, this biblical festival has drawn some 5,000 Christian pilgrims from 100 countries to Jerusalem each fall. The Feast offers a dynamic worship experience, gifted musical performers, powerful preaching, and the opportunity to express Christian love and support for Israel in the popular Jerusalem March. The Feast of Tabernacles, or Sukkot, not only looks back on the Israelite wanderings in the wilderness, it also provides a taste of the joy of the Messianic Age to come.
