The significance of the Feast of Tabernacles has to be understood in the context of all of the Lord's Appointed Times as outlined in Leviticus 23. 'Tabernacles' is the last in the annual cycle of these Feasts and is recognised as the Feast of the Gentiles, as it is a picture of the celebrations that will occur when representatives of every nation will come up to Jerusalem to celebrate this Feast (Zechariah. 14:16).
Since its inception in 1980, the Christian celebration of the Feast of Tabernacles, presented by the International Christian Embassy Jerusalem, has been a vital and central part of the ICEJ’s ministry of comforting Israel. (Isaiah 40:1) Up to 5,000 Christians from over 100 countries have come up to Jerusalem each year (regardless of the political climate in the Middle East) making the Feast of Tabernacles the largest and most popular annual Christian tourist event in Israel. Pilgrims come to worship the Lord, pray for the peace of Jerusalem, and to bless Israel. This year 2020 is a special year as ICEJ will be celebrating this significant 40th anniversary of comforting the Jewish people and celebrating the Feast of Tabernacles in Jerusalem.
We believe that celebrating the Feast each year honours the Lord in anticipation of the fulfillment of the words spoken by Zechariah. The Feast takes place at several outstanding venues across Jerusalem. There are specific seminar tracks available and focused bible teaching throughout the week. Each evening concludes with a time of dynamic worship and praise lead by an international worship team.
We warmly invite you to come up and join us in Jerusalem for this year's Feast of Tabernacles. There is no better time to travel to Israel than during the Feast!
