What does the Bible say about the Feast of Tabernacles?
Answered in 2 sources
The Feast of Tabernacles, as described in John 7, was an important Jewish festival that reflected God's provision, yet was often celebrated without true faith.
In John 7, the Feast of Tabernacles is presented as a Jewish observance that had become an outward ritual devoid of genuine faith. Jesus criticized the way the Jews celebrated this feast, pointing out that it was merely a distortion of what God intended to teach through it. The feast was meant to signify God’s provision and care, ultimately pointing to Christ himself. This illustrates a broader theme in the scripture where ceremonial practices can become hollow when separated from true faith in God’s promises.
