In today's teaching we look at two separate but related items: the Feast of Tabernacles and Jesus' birthday. The Feast of Tabernacles is the final of the seven festivals. It occurs in the fall - generally the end of September to beginning of October on our western calendar. It is an eight day long festival with the final day being the "greatest" day of the feast - called the Hoshana Rabbah - which translates "the Great Hosanna." Hosanna is the transliteration of two Hebrew words, Hosha and Na. Hosha = Save. Na = Now Holiday Resources:Free: Our Daily Bread, Discovery Series (download PDF): "The Holiday's of God: Spring Feasts"

Holiday Review
In today's teaching we look at how Jesus fulfills the holiday Day of Atonement as the scapegoat who takes away the sins of the world.
Additionally, there is an interesting comment in the Jewish writings - the Talmud - about something which took place "forty years before the destruction of the Temple" in Jerusalem - around 30 AD. Holiday Resources:

Free: Our Daily Bread Discovery Series (download PDF): "The Holiday's of God: Fall Feasts" Books: "The Feasts of the Lord" - Howard & Rosenthal In this teaching we are reviewing the Biblical holiday system that God established in Leviticus 23. Often referred to as God's Appointed Feasts. We are going to take a closer look at an aspect of the 4th holiday - Feast of Weeks. In Hebrew the holiday is called Shavuot which is the Hebrew word for 'weeks.' God says in Leviticus 23: "you are to count off seven full weeks" Lev. 23:15 The very next sentence then says: "You shall count off fifty days until the day after the seventh Sabbath" Lev. 23:26 "Fifty days" in Greek is Pentecost. Many Christians believe that Pentecost is only a Christian holiday because we find the Greek translation in Acts 2. Not true. The holiday was started with Moses and continues on till today in Jewish synagogues around the world under the Hebrew name Shavuot. The Jewish custom is to celebrate God delivering his Torah to Moses on Mt. Sinai on Shavuot. Today's teaching will compare Moses and God's Torah with Jesus and the Holy Spirit.
