SUKKOTH IN THE BRITH KHADASHAH


This is a portion of a parable Yeshua spoke, which is noted in the Gospel of Matthew

Matthew 25:10 And while they went to buy, the bridegroom came; and they that were ready went in with him to the marriage: and the door was shut. 11 Afterward came also the other virgins, saying, Lord, Lord, open to us. 12 But he answered and said, Verily I say unto you, I know you not. 13 Watch therefore, for ye know neither the day nor the hour wherein the Son of Man cometh.

Yeshua was revealing that this scene occurs during the Feast of Sukkoth which in the future, the Bridegroom, Yeshua, Himself, will meet His Bride, who are those who believe in Yeshua, the Messiah, and have a relationship with Him, during this Feast.



Yeshua was born on the first day of Sukkoth. This is His birth account, which is noted in the Gospel of Luke

Luke 2:1-38

Luk 2:1 And it came to pass in those days, that there went out a decree from Caesar Augustus, that all of the world should be taxed. 2 (And this taxing was first made when Cyrenius was Governor of Syria.) 3 And all went to be taxed, every one into his own city. 4 And Joseph also went up from Galilee, out of the city of Nazareth, into Judaea, unto the City of David, which is called Bethlehem; (because he was of the house and lineage of David:) 5 To be taxed with Mary his espoused wife, being great with Child. 6 And so it was, that, while they were there, the days were accomplished that she should be delivered. 7 And she brought forth her Firstborn Son, and wrapped Him in swaddling clothes, and laid Him in a manger; because there was no room for them in the inn. 8 And there were in the same country shepherds abiding in the field, keeping watch over their flock by night. 9 And, lo, the messenger of יהוה came upon them, and the Glory of יהוה shone round about them: and they were sore afraid. 10 And the messenger said unto them, Fear not: for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people. 11 For unto you is born this day in the City of David a Saviour, which is יהוה Messiah. 12 And this shall be a Sign unto you; Ye shall find the Babe wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in a manger. 13 And suddenly there was with the messenger a multitude of the heavenly host praising יהוה, and saying, 14 Glory to יהוה in the Highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men. 15 And it came to pass, as the messengers were gone away from them into the Heavens, the shepherds said one to another, Let us now go even unto Bethlehem, and see this Rhema which is come to pass, which יהוה hath made known unto us. 16 And they came with haste, and found Mary, and Joseph, and the Babe lying in a manger. 17 And when they had seen It, they made known abroad the saying which was told them concerning this Child. 18 And all they that heard it wondered at those things which were told them by the shepherds. 19 But Mary kept all of these things, and pondered them in her heart. 20 And the shepherds returned, glorifying and praising יהוה for all of the things that they had heard and seen, as it was told unto them. 21 And when eight days were accomplished for the circumcising of the Child, His Name was called YESHUA, which was so named of the messenger before He was conceived in the womb. 22 And when the days of her purification according to the Torah of Moses were accomplished, they brought him to Jerusalem, to present Him to יהוה;

23 (As it is written in the Torah of יהוה, Every male that openeth the womb shall be called Holy to יהוה;) 24 And to offer a Sacrifice according to that which is said in the Torah of יהוה, A pair of turtledoves, or two young pigeons. 25 And, behold, there was a man in Jerusalem, whose name was Simeon; and the same man was just and devout, waiting for the consolation of Israel: and the Holy Spirit was upon him. 26 And it was revealed unto him by the Holy Spirit, that he should not see death, before he had seen the יהוה's Messiah. 27 And he came by the Spirit into the Temple: and when the parents brought in the Child, Yeshua, to do for Him after the Custom of the Torah, 28 Then took He him up in his arms, and blessed יהוה, and said, 29 יהוה, now lettest Thou Thy servant depart in peace, according to Thy Word: 30 For mine eyes have seen Thy Salvation, 31 Which Thou hast prepared before the face of all people; 32 A Light to lighten the Gentiles, and the glory of Thy People Israel. 33 And Joseph and His mother marvelled at those things which were spoken of him. 34 And Simeon blessed them, and said unto Mary, His mother, Behold, this Child is set for the fall and rising again of many in Israel; and for a Sign which shall be spoken against; 35 (Yea, a sword shall pierce through thy own soul also,) that the thoughts of many hearts may be revealed. 36 And there was one Anna, a prophetess, the daughter of Phanuel, of the tribe of Asher: she was of a great age, and had lived with an husband seven years from her virginity; 37 And she was a widow of about fourscore and four years, which departed not from the Temple, but served with fastings and prayers night and day. 38 And she coming in that instant gave thanks likewise unto יהוה, and spake of Him to all of them that looked for redemption in Jerusalem.

I have the link to my teaching of how Yeshua was born in Sukkoth under the teachings segment below.

This is the record of Yeshua during the feast of Sukkoth in the Brith Khadashah (the New Covenant), which occured during Yeshua's Birthday, which is noted in the Gospel of John
(NOTE: The days of this Fall High Holy Day are well established based on the information below. The dates I have made known are colored in green. I have included the time line of Scott Aaron of Zealous for Zion in blue, because his time line also has a possiblilty)

John 7:3-10:21

THE DAY BEFORE SUKKOTH- DAY TIME
(Tuesday Day- 3rd day of the week)
(Friday Day- 6th day of the week)

John 7:2 Now the Jews' Feast of Tabernacles was at hand. 3 His brethren therefore said unto Him, Depart hence, and go into Judaea, that Thy disciples also may see the works that Thou doest. 4 For there is no man that doeth any thing in secret, and he himself seeketh to be known openly. If Thou do these things, shew Thyself to the world. 5 For neither did His brethren believe in Him. 6 Then Yeshua said unto them, My Time is not yet come: but your time is alway ready. 7 The world cannot hate you; but Me it hateth, because I testify of it, that the works thereof are evil. 8 Go ye up unto this Feast: I go not up yet unto this Feast; for My Time is not yet full come. 9 When He had said these Words unto them, He abode still in Galilee. 10 But when His brethren were gone up, then went He also up unto the Feast, not openly, but as it were in secret.


FIRST DAY OF SUKKOTH, HIGH SABBATH- NIGHT TIME
(Tuesday Night- 4th day of the week)
(Friday Night, Shabbath- 7th day of the week)

11 Then the Jews sought Him at the Feast, and said, Where is He? 12 And there was much murmuring among the People concerning Him: for some said, He is a good Man: others said, Nay; but He deceiveth the People. 13 Howbeit no man spake openly of Him for fear of the Jews.

If one notices the verse in which they did not speak openly for fear of the "Jews". In other words, the apostle John in his Gospel passage was revealing to us that these Jewish authorities were not speaking to Jews. The apostle John was revealing to us that the Jewish authorities were not talking to Jews, but to "non-Jews", who were at that time "Galileans", because Yeshua was from "Galilee". These verses reveal to us that Galileans were also participating in the Feast of Sukkoth.

FOURTH DAY OF SUKKOTH
(Possibly Saturday Day- Shabbath)
(Possibly Tuesday Day- 4th day of the week)

14 Now about the midst of the Feast Yeshua went up into the Temple, and taught. 15 And the Jews marvelled, saying, How knoweth this Man letters, having never learned? 16 Yeshua answered them, and said, My Doctrine is not Mine, but His that sent Me. 17 If any man will do His Will, he shall know of the Doctrine, whether it be of יהוה, or whether I speak of Myself. 18 He that speaketh of himself seeketh his own glory: but he that seeketh His Glory that sent Him, the Same is True, and no unrighteousness is in Him. 19 Did not Moses give you the Torah, and yet none of you keepeth the Torah? Why go ye about to kill Me? 20 The People answered and said, Thou hast a devil: who goeth about to kill Thee? 21 Yeshua answered and said unto them, I have done one Work, and ye all marvel. 22 Moses therefore gave unto you circumcision; (not because it is of Moses, but of the fathers;) and ye on the Shabbath day circumcise a man. 23 If a man on the Shabbath day receive circumcision, that the Torah of Moses should not be broken; are ye angry at Me, because I have made a man every whit whole on the Shabbath Day? 24 Judge not according to the appearance, but judge Righteous Judgment. 25 Then said some of them of Jerusalem, Is not this He, whom they seek to kill? 26 But, lo, He speaketh boldly, and they say nothing unto Him. Do the rulers know indeed that this is the very Messiah? 27 Howbeit we know this Man whence He is: but when Messiah cometh, no man knoweth whence He is. 28 Then cried Yeshua in the Temple as He taught, saying, Ye both know Me, and ye know whence I am: and I am not come of Myself, but He that sent Me is True, whom ye know not. 29 But I know Him: for I am from Him, and He hath sent Me. 30 Then they sought to take Him: but no man laid hands on Him, because His Hour was not yet come. 31 And many of the People believed on Him, and said, When Messiah cometh, will He do more miracles than these which this Man hath done? 32 The Pharisees heard that the People murmured such things concerning Him; and the Pharisees and the Chief Priests sent officers to take Him. 33 Then said Yeshua unto them, Yet a little while am I with you, and then I go unto Him that sent Me. 34 Ye shall seek Me, and shall not find Me: and where I am, thither ye cannot come. 35 Then said the Jews among themselves, Whither will He go, that we shall not find Him? Will He go unto the dispersed among the Gentiles, and teach the Gentiles? 36 What manner of saying is this that He said, Ye shall seek Me, and shall not find Me: and where I am, thither ye cannot come?

Notice that this is in the middle of Sukkoth, which the exact middle is the fourth day of Sukkoth. Yeshua made a deal on the Shabbath day, which possibly shows that He did something during this Feast day, which was the Shabbath, and could have also been circumcised as a baby on the eighth day of His Life during the Shabbath.



SEVENTH DAY OF SUKKOTH [OR EIGHTH DAY OF SOLEMN ASSEMBLY]
(Monday Night- 3rd day of the week)
(Thursday Night- 6th day of the week)

37 In the last day, that great day of the Feast, Yeshua stood and cried, saying, If any man thirst, let him come unto Me, and drink. 38 He that believeth on Me, as the Scripture hath said, out of his belly shall flow rivers of Living Water. 39 (But this spake He of the Spirit, which they that believe on Him should receive: for the Holy Spirit was not yet given; because that Yeshua was not yet glorified.) 40 Many of the People therefore, when they heard this saying, said, Of a truth this is the Prophet. 41 Others said, This is the Messiah. But some said, Shall Messiah come out of Galilee? 42 Hath not the Scripture said, That Messiah cometh of the seed of David, and out of the town of Bethlehem, where David was? 43 So there was a division among the People because of him. 44 And some of them would have taken Him; but no man laid hands on Him. 45 Then came the officers to the Chief Priests and Pharisees; and they said unto them, Why have ye not brought Him? 46 The officers answered, Never man spake like this man. 47 Then answered them the Pharisees, Are ye also deceived? 48 Have any of the rulers or of the Pharisees believed on Him? 49 But this People who knoweth not the Torah are cursed. 50 Nicodemus saith unto them, (he that came to Yeshua by night, being one of them,) 51 Doth our Torah judge any man, before it hear him, and know what he doeth? 52 They answered and said unto him, Art thou also of Galilee? Search, and look: for out of Galilee ariseth no prophet. 53 And every man went unto his own house.

Joh 8:1 Yeshua went unto the Mount of Olives.


SEVENTH DAY OF SUKKOTH- DAY TIME: MORNING
(Tuesday Morning- 3rd day of the week)
(Friday Morning- 6th day of the week)

Joh 8:2 And early in the morning He came again into the Temple, and all of the People came unto him; and He sat down, and taught them. 3 And the Scribes and Pharisees brought unto Him a woman taken in adultery; and when they had set her in the midst, 4 They say unto Him, Master, this woman was taken in adultery, in the very act. 5 Now Moses in the Torah commanded us, that such should be stoned: but what sayest Thou? 6 This they said, tempting Him, that they might have to accuse Him. But Yeshua stooped down, and with His Finger wrote on the ground, as though He heard them not. 7 So when they continued asking Him, He lifted up Himself, and said unto them, He that is without sin among you, let him first cast a stone at her. 8 And again He stooped down, and wrote on the ground. 9 And they which heard it, being convicted by their own conscience, went out one by one, beginning at the eldest, even unto the last: and Yeshua was left alone, and the woman standing in the midst. 10 When Yeshua had lifted up Himself, and saw none but the woman, He said unto her, Woman, where are those thine accusers? Hath no man condemned thee? 11 She said, No man, Lord. And Yeshua said unto her, Neither do I condemn thee: go, and sin no more.


SEVENTH DAY OF SUKKOTH- DAY TIME: AFTERNOON
(Tuesday Afternoon Before Sunset- 3rd day of the week)
(Friday Afternoon Before Sunset- 6th day of the week)

12 Then spake Yeshua again unto them, saying, I am the Light of the world: he that followeth Me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the Light of Life. 13 The Pharisees therefore said unto Him, Thou bearest Record of Thyself; Thy Record is not true. 14 Yeshua answered and said unto them, Though I bear Record of Myself, yet My Record is true: for I know whence I came, and whither I go; but ye cannot tell whence I come, and whither I go. 15 Ye judge after the flesh; I judge no man. 16 And yet if I judge, My Judgment is True: for I am not alone, but I and the Father that sent Me. 17 It is also written in your Torah, that the testimony of two men is true. 18 I am One that bear Witness of Myself, and the Father that sent Me beareth Witness of Me. 19 Then said they unto Him, Where is Thy Father? Yeshua answered, Ye neither know Me, nor My Father: if ye had known Me, ye should have known My Father also. 20 These words spake Yeshua in the Treasury, as He taught in the Temple: and no man laid hands on Him; for His Hour was not yet come. 21 Then said Yeshua again unto them, I go My Way, and ye shall seek Me, and shall die in your sins: whither I go, ye cannot come. 22 Then said the Jews, Will He kill Himself? because He saith, Whither I go, ye cannot come. 23 And He said unto them, Ye are from beneath; I am from above: ye are of this world; I am not of this world. 24 I said therefore unto you, that ye shall die in your sins: for if ye believe not that I Am, ye shall die in your sins. 25 Then said they unto Him, Who art Thou? And Yeshua saith unto them, Even the Same that I said unto you from the beginning. 26 I have many things to say and to judge of you: but He that sent Me is True; and I speak to the world those things which I have heard of Him. 27 They understood not that He spake to them of the Father. 28 Then said Yeshua unto them, When ye have lifted up the Son of Man, then shall ye know that I Am, and that I do nothing of Myself; but as My Father hath taught Me, I speak these things. 29 And He that sent Me is with Me: the Father hath not left Me alone; for I do always those things that please Him. 30 As He spake these Words, many believed on Him. 31 Then said Yeshua to those Jews which believed on Him, If ye continue in My Word, then are ye My disciples indeed; 32 And ye shall know the Truth, and the Truth shall make you free. 33 They answered Him, We be Abraham's seed, and were never in bondage to any man: how sayest Thou, Ye shall be made free? 34 Yeshua answered them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Whosoever committeth sin is the servant of sin. 35 And the servant abideth not in the house for ever: but the Son abideth ever. 36 If the Son therefore shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed. 37 I know that ye are Abraham's seed; but ye seek to kill Me, because My Word hath no place in you. 38 I speak that which I have seen with My Father: and ye do that which ye have seen with your father. 39 They answered and said unto Him, Abraham is our father. Yeshua saith unto them, If ye were Abraham's Children, ye would do the works of Abraham. 40 But now ye seek to kill Me, a Man that hath told you the Truth, which I have heard of hwhy: this did not Abraham. 41 Ye do the deeds of your father. Then said they to him, We be not born of fornication; we have one Father, even יהוה.

42 Yeshua said unto them, If יהוה were your Father, ye would love Me: for I proceeded forth and came from יהוה; neither came I of Myself, but He sent Me. 43 Why do ye not understand My Speech? Even because ye cannot hear My Word. 44 Ye are of your father, the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the Truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it. 45 And because I tell you the Truth, ye believe Me not. 46 Which of you convinceth Me of sin? And if I say the Truth, why do ye not believe Me? 47 He that is of יהוה heareth יהוה's Words: ye therefore hear them not, because ye are not of יהוה.

48 Then answered the Jews, and said unto Him, Say we not well that Thou art a Samaritan, and hast a devil? 49 Yeshua answered, I have not a devil; but I honour My Father, and ye do dishonour Me. 50 And I seek not Mine own Glory: there is One that seeketh and judgeth. 51 Verily, verily, I say unto you, If a man keep My Word, he shall never see death. 52 Then said the Jews unto Him, Now we know that Thou hast a devil. Abraham is dead, and the prophets; and Thou sayest, If a man keep My Word, he shall never taste of death. 53 Art Thou greater than our father Abraham, which is dead? And the prophets are dead: whom makest Thou Thyself? 54 Yeshua answered, If I honour Myself, My Honour is nothing: it is My Father that honoureth Me; of whom ye say, that He is your Elohim: 55 Yet ye have not known Him; but I know Him: and if I should say, I know Him not, I shall be a liar like unto you: but I know Him, and keep His Word. 56 Your father Abraham rejoiced to see My Day: and he saw it, and was glad. 57 Then said the Jews unto Him, Thou art not yet fifty years old, and hast Thou seen Abraham? 58 Yeshua said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Before Abraham was, I AM. 59 Then took they up stones to cast at Him: but Yeshua hid Himself, and went out of the Temple, going through the midst of them, and so passed by.


SEVENTH DAY OF SUKKOTH- JUST BEFORE SUNSET
(Tuesday Nearing Sunset- 3rd day of the week)
(Friday Nearing Sunset- 6th day of the week)

John 9:1 And as Yeshua passed by, He saw a man which was blind from his birth. 2 And His disciples asked Him, saying, Master, who did sin, this man, or his parents, that he was born blind? 3 Yeshua answered, Neither hath this man sinned, nor his parents: but that the Works of hwhy should be made manifest in him. 4 I must work the Works of Him that sent Me, while it is day: the night cometh, when no man can work. 5 As long as I am in the world, I am the Light of the world. 6 When He had thus spoken, He spat on the ground, and made clay of the spittle, and He anointed the eyes of the blind man with the clay, 7 And said unto him, Go, wash in the Pool of Siloam, (which is by interpretation, Sent.) He went his way therefore, and washed, and came seeing. 8 The neighbours therefore, and they which before had seen him that he was blind, said, Is not this he that sat and begged? 9 Some said, This is he: others said, He is like him: but he said, I am he. 10 Therefore said they unto him, How were thine eyes opened? 11 He answered and said, A Man that is called Yeshua made clay, and anointed mine eyes, and said unto me, Go to the Pool of Siloam, and wash: and I went and washed, and I received sight. 12 Then said they unto him, Where is He? He said, I know not.

When Yeshua said in verse four of John's passage that night is coming when no man can work, if it occured on the seventh day of Sukkoth, He was not referring to a regular Shabbath but the High Shabbath (Shabbath Shabbathon) of the Solemn Assembly that occurs on the eighth day, where one cannot do servile work.


EIGHTH DAY OF A SOLEMN HOLY CALLING, HIGH SABBATH- NIGHT TIME
(Tuesday Night- 4th day of the week)
(Friday Night, Shabbath- 7th day of the week)

13 They brought to the Pharisees him that aforetime was blind. 14 And it was the Shabbath day when Yeshua made the clay, and opened his eyes. 15 Then again the Pharisees also asked him how he had received his sight. He said unto them, He put clay upon mine eyes, and I washed, and do see. 16 Therefore said some of the Pharisees, This Man is not of יהוה, because He keepeth not the Shabbath Day. Others said, How can a Man that is a sinner do such miracles? And there was a division among them. 17 They say unto the blind man again, What sayest thou of Him, that He hath opened thine eyes? He said, He is a Prophet. 18 But the Jews did not believe concerning him, that he had been blind, and received his sight, until they called the parents of him that had received his sight. 19 And they asked them, saying, Is this your son, who ye say was born blind? How then doth he now see? 20 His parents answered them and said, We know that this is our son, and that he was born blind: 21 But by what means he now seeth, we know not; or Who hath opened his eyes, we know not: he is of age; ask him: he shall speak for himself. 22 These words spake his parents, because they feared the Jews: for the Jews had agreed already, that if any man did confess that He was Messiah, he should be put out of the synagogue. 23 Therefore said his parents, He is of age; ask him. 24 Then again called they the man that was blind, and said unto him, Give יהוה the praise: we know that this Man is a sinner. 25 He answered and said, Whether He be a sinner or no, I know not: one thing I know, that, whereas I was blind, now I see. 26 Then said they to him again, What did He to thee? How opened He thine eyes? 27 He answered them, I have told you already, and ye did not hear: wherefore would ye hear it again? Will ye also be His disciples? 28 Then they reviled him, and said, Thou art His disciple; but we are Moses' disciples. 29 We know that יהוה spake unto Moses: as for this Fellow, we know not from whence He is. 30 The man answered and said unto them, Why herein is a marvellous thing, that ye know not from whence He is, and yet He hath opened mine eyes. 31 Now we know that יהוה heareth not sinners: but if any man be a worshipper of יהוה, and doeth His Will, Him He heareth. 32 Since the world began was it not heard that any man opened the eyes of one that was born blind. 33 If this Man were not of יהוה, He could do nothing. 34 They answered and said unto him, Thou wast altogether born in sins, and dost thou teach us? And they cast him out. 35 Yeshua heard that they had cast him out; and when He had found him, He said unto him, Dost thou believe on the Son of Elohim? 36 He answered and said, Who is He, Lord, that I might believe on Him? 37 And Yeshua said unto him, Thou hast both seen Him, and it is He that talketh with thee. 38 And he said, Lord, I believe. And he worshipped Him. 39 And Yeshua said, For judgment I am come into this world, that they which see not might see; and that they which see might be made blind. 40 And some of the Pharisees which were with Him heard these words, and said unto Him, Are we blind also? 41 Yeshua said unto them, If ye were blind, ye should have no sin: but now ye say, We see; therefore your sin remaineth.

John 10:1 Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that entereth not by the door into the sheepfold, but climbeth up some other way, the same is a thief and a robber. 2 But he that entereth in by the door is the shepherd of the sheep. 3 To him the porter openeth; and the sheep hear his voice: and he calleth his own sheep by name, and leadeth them out. 4 And when he putteth forth his own sheep, he goeth before them, and the sheep follow him: for they know his voice. 5 And a stranger will they not follow, but will flee from him: for they know not the voice of strangers. 6 This Parable spake Yeshua unto them: but they understood not what things they were which He spake unto them. 7 Then said Yeshua unto them again, Verily, verily, I say unto you, I am the Door of the Sheep. 8 All that ever came before Me are thieves and robbers: but the Sheep did not hear them. 9 I am the Door: by Me if any man enter in, he shall be saved, and shall go in and out, and find pasture. 10 The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have Life, and that they might have it more abundantly. 11 I am the Good Shepherd: the Good Shepherd giveth His Life for the Sheep. 12 But he that is an hireling, and not the shepherd, whose own the sheep are not, seeth the wolf coming, and leaveth the sheep, and fleeth: and the wolf catcheth them, and scattereth the sheep. 13 The hireling fleeth, because he is an hireling, and careth not for the sheep. 14 I am the Good Shepherd, and know My Sheep, and am known of Mine. 15 As the Father knoweth Me, even so know I the Father: and I lay down My Life for the Sheep. 16 And other Sheep I have, which are not of this Fold: them also I must bring, and they shall hear My Voice; and there shall be One Fold, and One Shepherd. 17 Therefore doth My Father love Me, because I lay down My Life, that I might take It again. 18 No man taketh It from Me, but I lay It down of Myself. I have power to lay It down, and I have power to take It again. This Commandment have I received of My Father. 19 There was a division therefore again among the Jews for these sayings. 20 And many of them said, He hath a devil, and is mad; why hear ye Him? 21 Others said, These are not the words of him that hath a devil. Can a devil open the eyes of the blind?

Based on this record, we can say, without question, that the eight days of Sukkoth including the one day of the Solemn Holy Calling, started on Tuesday night (or Friday night) and ended on the following Tuesday night (or Friday night). This is the day where the feasting and celebrating are restrained, and we are to be in a Holy Calling to assemble together to יהוה.
