Last Great Day

The seven days of dwelling in tabernacles (tents) leads us to the Last Great Day, "The Eighth Day" of the feast of Tabernacles.

Leviticus 23

• 39 "`Also on the fifteenth day of the seventh month, when ye have gathered in the fruit of the land, ye shall keep a feast unto YHVH seven days; on the first day shall be a sabbath, and on the eighth day shall be a sabbath.
• 40 And ye shall take for yourselves on the first day the boughs of goodly trees, branches of palm trees, and the boughs of thick trees, and willows of the brook; and ye shall rejoice before YHVH your God seven days."

John 7

• 2 "Now the Judean's feast of tabernacles was at hand."
• 37 "In the last day, that great day of the feast [of Tabernacles], Jesus stood and cried, saying, If any man thirst, let him come unto me, and drink."

As Tabernacles represents our life's journey in our weak mortal bodies (temporary tents), entering into Yahshua's (Jesus') eighth day brings us into His state of glory in the Resurrection of His saints as they enter His house in the perfect fullness of the Kingdom of God. Eight is the number of Resurrection and the start of a new week (age) for the believing saints of God Almighty. Our mortal bodies now see the redemption into immortality by the promise of His Living Word. (Romans 8:23; 2 Corinthians 5:2; 1 Peter 1:7; Philippians 3:21) Thus on "day eight" following seven days of Tabernacles, we enter into the comfort of our solid homes for an assembled Sabbath gathering which symbolizes the permanent dwelling place we have with our King.
