Chronicling the activities of Jesus Christ’s earthly ministry, the book of John points out that when the “Feast of Tabernacles was at hand,” Jesus Himself “went up to the feast” and taught at the Temple in Jerusalem. This was done in observance of the final of three annual Festival seasons that are outlined in the Bible, particularly in the book of Leviticus. These three seasons, the Passover and Days of Unleavened Bread, the Festival of Pentecost and the Autumn Festival season, were all observed by Jesus and the first-century Church. The latter season is capped by the seven-day Feast of Tabernacles and the Eighth Day. (Leviticus 23:33-36).
