Back from Sukkot—More Photos

Yesterday our family traveled across the high desert wilderness, and down from the mountains of Central Oregon where we had celebrated Sukkot NW 2012. We arrived back at our home last evening, which is in a valley that is slightly higher than sea-level. Kind of a prophetic journey, if you will, like descending from mountains of Jerusalem to the Valley of the Dead Sea.

Please allow me to share with you some more photos from our Sukkot celebration. This time, I’m not sitting in my truck in the parking lot of the Best Western trying to upload this blog post. Rather, I’m back in the comforts of my converted chicken house office.

Perhaps we’ll have the honor of spending Sukkot with you next year in Oregon???

Enjoy the photos!

Greetings from Sukkot Northwest 2012  in La Pine Oregon!

The blog has been quiet for the last week or so, since my family and I have been in Central Oregon where we, along with our congregation, host a regional Sukkot celebration. This is our tenth anniversary of hosting Sukkot NW.

Internet reception is spotty in this intermountain region, and I am presently sitting in the parking lot of the local Best Western hotel and hooking into their wi-fi to upload these photos of our Sukkot celebration that I took on my I-Phone.

Enjoy!

A Vision for Sukkot in 2012

The following is Hoshana Rabbah Biblical Discipleship Resource’s vision for its Sukkot celebration it sponsors each year in Oregon. This year is our tenth anniversary. Read and be inspired…

A Prophetic Vision

Imagine it. Babylon the Great is fallen, forsaken and abandoned. Good at long last has triumphed over evil. The saints celebrate their victory over their captive demonic oppressors. Eden of the distant past is recalled while the heaven on earth of the New Jerusalem is just over the next horizon. The Creator of the universe—the King of kings—makes his abode in Jerusalem. The Bridegroom Prince of Peace kisses his princess. They live happily ever after. This is the storybook ending to 6000 years of hell on earth!

These flash images—downloaded from heaven and archived in the prophecies Ancient Holy Scriptures—are about to begin leaping off the pages of your Bible. This is the Feast of Tabernacles (or Sukkot)—a week-long biblical festival and a foretaste of the age to come (to learn more about this biblical feast, go to http://www.hoshanarabbah.org/pdfs/sukkot.pdf).

At Sukkot Northwest 2012 in LaPine, Oregon, we will not only fulfill the biblical (Torah) commands to gather together and to joyfully celebrate Sukkot, but, at the same time, come prepared to experience a foretaste of the Millennium where the saints of the Most High shows their love for their Heavenly Bridegroom and for each other by gathering at the place where YHVH has chosen to place his name (Deut 16:13–15; 12:5–7,17–21; 14:23). Yes, in his Word, YHVH commands his people to celebrate Sukkot each year—forever (Lev 23:1–2, 34-41; Deut 16:13–17). Though Sukkot is a commanded assembly (Lev 23:34–36; Deut 16:13–15), it’s more like a doting father ordering his children to indulge themselves in the best and most exciting, other-worldly vacation of their lives! How can anyone refuse such an invitation?

Knowing our Heritage Prepares Us to Receive Our Inheritance

At Sukkot Northwest 2012, we, as redeemed Israelites, will rejoice in our biblical heritage as we memorialize the wanderings of our ancestors in the wilderness en route to the Promised Land. Continue reading →
