Dear Doves:

As I suggested in the previous letter, 1 Kings 8:65-66 could be applied for this feast of Tabernacles.

If it's the case, 10/7 is Hoshanah Raba, 10/8 is Shemini Atzeret, 10/9 is Simchat Torah and 10/10 is the new moon of the 8th month.

And I find a fascinating connection of Yom Kippur, Sukkot and New Moon.

1) When Moses came down with the 2nd Tablets on Yom Kippur, his face was reflecting the light of God.

     And as the Israelites were afraid to come near him, Moses had to cover his face with a veil.

     When Jesus declared "It is finished!" on the Cross, the curtain of the temple was torn.

     Curtain and Veil have the same meaning, as it's written in Hebrews 10:19-20.

     "Therefore, brothers and sisters, since we have confidence to enter the Most Holy Place by the blood of Jesus, by a new and living

       way opened for us through the curtain, that is, his body"

2) During Sukkot, a priest went down to the Pool of Siloam, filled a golden pitcher with water, then returned to the Temple and had a

     ceremony of pouring the water into one of the silver basins by the altar.

     The Pool of Siloam is connected to the miracle that Jesus healed a man born blind as it's written in John 9:1-9.

     Jesus spit on the ground, made some mud with the saliva, and put it on the man's eyes, then told him to wash in the Pool of siloam.

     When the blind man believed in Jusus and obeyed, he could see the light.

     And Jesus cried out on the last day of Sukkot "Let anyone who is thirsty come to me and drink. Whoever believes in me, as Scripture

     has said, rivers of living water will flow from within them"

     Since the Sukkah is symbolic of the Chuppah(wedding canopy), Sukkot is the feast for the marriage of the Lamb.

3) But as it's written in Colossians 2:16-17, new moon is a shadow of the thing to come.

     New Moon is also called as veiled moon which represents that the Bride's face is covered with a veil.

     And 2 Corinthians 3:18 reveals that the Transformation occurs as the Lord lifts the veil.

     "And we all, who with unveiled faces comtemplate the Lord's glory, are being transformed into his image with ever-increasing glory,

       which comes from the Lord, who is the Spirit"

These are the reasons why the period of 10/7-10/10 is for high alert.

If Genesis 7:11 is applied, the ark's door will be shut on Cheshvan 10(10/19) and the Judgment begins on Cheshvan 17(10/26).

Maranatha!
