“He made darkness his canopy around him,
thick clouds in the skies dense with water.”
-2 Samuel 22:12
I’ve explained before that the works of Messiah are foretold in the 7 Biblical Feasts.
According to the New Testament…
Yeshua died on Passover.
His corpse was placed inside the empty tomb on the Feast of Matza.
He rose from the dead on the Feast of Bikkurim or FirstFruits.
Then, following Yeshua’s ascension into heaven, the Holy Spirit came to reside in man on Shavuot, the 4th of the yearly feasts.
So here’s the 20 million dollar question.
If the first coming of Yeshua coincided perfectly with the first 4 Biblical feasts…
Ain’t it reasonable to conclude His second coming will coincide perfectly with the remaining 3 feasts, culminating with Sukkot (Feast of Tabernacles), the final feast?
Do you feel me here?
So what are the two main features of Sukkot?
Well, first, we’ve got the Sukkah (the booth).
And then we’ve got the libation ceremony that takes place at the Temple.
This is basically a plea to the Lord to send rain.
Now, take a look at verse 12, which I copied and pasted above.
It says the Lord made “darkness his canopy around him.”
If we were to substitute the proper Hebrew terms, it would say…
“He made CHOSHEK (darkness) His SUKKAH (booth) around Him.”
Then it goes on to say there were…
“…thick clouds dense with MAYIM.”
MAYIM is water or rain.
The pattern here is unmistakable.
The end times Day of the Lord will be just like that dreadful day of darkness in Egypt.
A Hebrew explanation is in order here.
That scary darkness in Egypt wasn’t just regular night like when the sun sets.
In Hebrew, this particular type of darkness was called CHOSHEK.
This was a deep, heavy spiritual blackness that the Lord sent.
This is different than LAYIL, which is the regular darkness that occurs when the sun sets.
CHOSHEK shook the Egyptians to their core because they knew the God of Israel’s judgment was at hand.
So let’s bring this full circle.
In David’s Psalm of Thanksgiving, we’re told of an event when the Lord descends to earth under a Sukkah, bringing rain with Him.
This is when He rescues His chosen people, Israel, from destruction and defeats her enemies.
Now, of course, I can’t be dogmatic about this, but I believe this points to the prophesied Day of the Lord when God will pour out His judgment on the earth.
And, at the same time, God’s saved will be ushered into the Messiah’s Millennial Kingdom.
If this ain’t a picture of Sukkot, homies, I dunno what is.
Ya feel me?
So yeah, I believe Yeshua’s return will happen during this Biblical feast from around late September to late October.
What’s that?
You’re telling me no man can know when Yeshua will return, so what am I doing making predictions?
Well, true, homie.
No man can know the year, day, or hour.
But we can know the season.
And I’m telling you, I think the Messiah’s coming back during the Fall Feast of Tabernacles.
Done.
CONNECTING THIS TEACHING TO THE NEW TESTAMENT
“But of that day and hour
no one knows,
not even the angels of heaven,
but My Father only.”
-Matthew 24:36
