"Autumnal Ingathering?"


 
Dear John and all Doves,
      Depending upon which calendar is used, we are approaching a first or second chance Yom Kippur and then Tabernacles. The timelines can vary from 10-22 to 10-24 to the end of this month or early next month at the close of the last great day of Tabernacles on day 8. The tone shifts from repentence and sorrow to one of joy. If Tabernacles is like the ancient wedding customs, then the groom and groomsmen would come for the bride and her family and friends on day 1 rather than day 8. The wedding celebration would go on for up to 7 days or so. Tishri 15, the starting of Tabernacles 1 or 2, will be about 10-27 to 10-29. Then the rest of the days of the Feast of Ingathering, the season of our joy concludes late this month or early next month. Each day now, may we in spirit, be watching for Him.

With Love and Shalom,
Jean Stepnoski
