[8] For if Joshua had given them rest, God would not have spoken of another day later on. [9] So then, there remains a Sabbath rest for the people of God, [10] for whoever has entered God’s rest has also rested from his works as God did from his. [11] Let us therefore strive to enter that rest, so that no one may fall by the same sort of disobedience. ~ Hebrews 4:8-11
As all feasts, the Feasts of Booths foreshadows something. This particular feast foreshadows something in the future that has yet to take place. So, what does it foreshadow? The Feast of Booths was about dwelling in tents in remembrance of how the Israelites dwelt in tents for 40 years. During those 40 years, the LORD sanctified the people, or separated them.
Those who refused to trust in the LORD perished during that time, while those who trusted in the LORD did not perish but remained in the same strength they left Egypt in. Only those who had faith made it into the Promised Land. This world is not our home, we will not receive our eternal home until after the Millennial Reign of Christ and the Last Judgment. Therefore, I believe the Millennial Reign of Christ and the Last Judgment are the fulfillment of the Feast of Booths.
I believe the seven days of the Feast of Booths will be fulfilled in the Millennial Reign of Christ and the eighth day that no other feast has, will be fulfilled in the Last Judgment. For after these two are complete, we will receive our eternal rest in our Promised Land of the New Earth, just as the Israelites got to receive their Promised Land.
So, as Christians, we look forward to eternity with Christ. We look forward to eternity, not in heaven, but on the New Earth. We were never created for Heaven, but for the earth. And one day this failing earth will flee from the presence of God Himself, and the LORD God will create for us a new earth where He will dwell with us forever and ever. He will be our God and we will be His people. What a great hope we have.
Peace. Love. Go Forth and Think On The Coming New.
