The Feast of Tabernacles is one of seven annual festivals given by God to ancient Israel that were also kept by Jesus Christ, the apostles and the New Testament Church (Leviticus 23:39-43; John 7:1-14; Acts 18:21). Jesus Christ's role is the central theme of God's festivals, which reveal the sequence of events in His plan.

The Bible shows that the Feast of Tabernacles will be observed by all mankind during Christ's 1,000-year reign on earth, which it pictures (Zechariah 14:16-19; Revelation 20:4). Then the many prophecies of an unprecedented time of peace and prosperity will be fulfilled (Isaiah 2:2-4; 11:1-9; 35:1-10).
