The Feast of Tabernacles, or Booths, is the only one, of the three Feasts which all males had to attend, that some major Christian event has not transpired. The first feast is/was Passover (Christ's death and resurrection) and the second is/was Pentecost (Christ gave mankind the Holy Spirit, tongues and the Fire Baptism). 

Mr. Jeffrey goes on to say, "R.H. Lightfoot in his 'St. Johns Gospel - A Commentary', also describes this gospel's focus on this phenomenon... 'each of the sections is connected, more or less closely, with a festival of the Jewish sacred year.' He states that this feast is "sometimes referred to as the great "Harvest Home" which occurred at the END of the fruit harvest (Sept-Oct)." The FEAST OF FIRSTFRUITS is known as Passover.

MOUNT OF TRANSFIGURATION:
Except for recognizing that the Mount of Transfiguration happened to Jesus; we don't hear too much about this event, and how it pertains to the Christian life. This seems to be one of those areas in the Bible, that none of us fully understands.

Regarding this, I have received a real tugging in my spirit and mind, over the last few months. I believe that the Mount of Transfiguration shows us more than we have previously understood; and I am just now beginning to hear God's teaching on this. After some research for this message, I present the following information. I still feel that I am not seeing the full picture, and pray that Jesus Christ show us His fullness.

I have thought and thought, and asked God what connection there is between Moses and Elijah. Why them, as opposed to another set of prophets. I believe the answer to this: both men saw the Glory of God before dying, as Jesus Christ did on the Mount. We are told that Moses had to veil his face to protect the Israelites from the glare after He "went up" and saw the LORD, our Father.  The Bible also tells us that Elijah was "taken up" without seeing death.

Notice, in Luke that the last thing Jesus speaks about before going tot he Mount of Transfiguration is the "GLORY of Himself and the Father", AND THE KINGDOM OF GOD.

(Luke 9:20-27) "He said to them, "But who do you say that I am?" Peter answered and said, "The Christ of God." And He strictly warned and commanded them to tell this to no one, saying, ‘The Son of Man must suffer many things, and be rejected by the elders and chief priests and scribes, and be killed, and be raised the third day.' Then He said to them all, ‘If anyone desires to come after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow Me. For whoever desires to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for My sake will save it. For what profit is it to a man if he gains the whole world, and is himself destroyed or lost? For whoever is ashamed of Me and My words, of him the Son of Man will be ashamed when HE COMES IN HIS OWN GLORY, AND IN HIS FATHER'S, AND OF THE HOLY ANGELS. But I tell you truly, there are some standing here who shall not taste death till THEY SEE THE KINGDOM OF GOD." (NKJ)

Then Jesus takes Peter, who has just identified Jesus as the Son of God (through revelation knowledge from the Father), with two other of the disciples (who had also been present during His conversation about the Glory and the Kingdom of God) up to the Mount Of Transfiguration with Him. THEY SEE THE "GLORY" and KINGDOM OF GOD, prior to tasting death.

(Luke 9:28-35) "Now it came to pass, about eight days after these sayings, that He took Peter, John, and James and went up on the mountain to pray. And as He prayed, the APPEARANCE OF HIS FACE WAS ALTERED, AND HIS ROBE BECAME WHITE AND GLISTENING. And behold, two men talked with Him, who were Moses and Elijah, WHO APPEARED IN GLORY and spoke of His decease which He was about to accomplish at Jerusalem. But Peter and those with him were heavy with sleep; and when they were fully awake, THEY SAW HIS GLORY AND THE TWO MEN WHO STOOD WITH HIM. Then it happened, as they were parting from Him, that Peter said to Jesus, "Master, it is good for us to be here; and let us make three tabernacles: one for You, one for Moses, and one for Elijah"-- not knowing what he said. While he was saying this, a cloud came and overshadowed them; and they were fearful as they entered the cloud. And a voice came out of the cloud, saying, "This is My beloved Son. Hear Him!"

Matthew said, "...{Jesus} was (A)TRANSFIGURED before them: and his face did shine as the sun, and his raiment was white as the light. And, behold, there appeared unto them Moses and Elias talking with him. (KJV)

        (A) TRANSFIGURED: 
            "to (1)transform ("(2)METAMORPHOSE")".   [Strong's Concordance Of The Bible]

Obviously, the Glory of God produces a complete and total change in those who experience it. I believe that this will occur to us at the INGATHERING. I believe that this is why God will bring all of His Beloveds into IN ONE ACCORD, in ONE PLACE, at ONE TIME, as He has told me He will. He has also told me, that it is only in this state that we truly represent the Body of Jesus Christ.  This is the completed Body. There exists only one Head on every Body. Jesus is the HEAD of His Body; therefore, it is necessary that all members of that Body be in ONE ACCORD. We want to hear God, and begin to PRACTICE listening to the HEAD now.

I am not sure that the harvest is limited to one ingathering.  Just like any harvest, there may be more than one "gathering" of the crops/harvest. I KNOW that, eventually, all of those in Christ Jesus will be brought into ONE ACCORD, ONE PLACE at ONE TIME. I only question whether God is saying this will be accomplished in "one gathering", or more than one gathering, with the final result being "all gathered".  For example, the Bible tells us that on the Day of Pentecost, 120 people were present, and that "THEY WERE ALL WITH ONE ACCORD IN ONE PLACE."   As we know, you and I have been added to this "gathering" since then, through our receiving Jesus Christ, the Holy Spirit and the Fire Baptism. The final INGATHERING will embody "all" who have become members in Body of Christ, throughout all ages.

God has shown me that a group, perhaps all, of His Believers, after being taken up and changed, will be returned to earth to serve Him.  

I realize that we do not see the Bride lowered until later, after the Millennium. However, earlier in the Book of Revelation, we read, "The light of a lamp shall not shine in you anymore, and THE VOICE OF BRIDEGROOM AND BRIDE SHALL NOT BE HEARD IN YOU ANYMORE... " (Rev 18:23). Revelations 18:23 indicates to me that the Bride was present on earth, and THEN "TAKEN UP".   All who possess the Holy Spirit are of the Bride; therefore, the Bride has been present on earth since She was received into the hearts of men and women, through our Savior and Husband Jesus Christ.  

I believe that Revelation 18:23, is after the first "taking up" of the saints. I believe that as of this verse, God's Beloveds have been changed into a new form, as Jesus was at the Mount of Transfiguration, and returned to earth. They have been serving God. In Revelation 18:23, we are seeing them "taken up" again, this time into Heaven. I believe Revelation 18:23 is speaking of the removal of the Bride.   These are those who the Holy Spirit and/or the Groom spoke through on earth.

God has told me that there will be a time of "darkness" in which His Beloveds will literally shine in the darkness, and the unsaved (also baby Christian) will literally run towards them in order to receive Him, and His blessings. I believe that the "shine" God spoke of; is the same "transfiguration" spoken of when Jesus was "taken up" on the mountain and transfigured. In my own mind, I see this happening during the Tribulation time.

Notice, above, that God's Glory filled the Tabernacle.  Our body is the Tabernacle and in it we meet with Him.  Jesus Christ is the Holy Of Holies, also called the Tabernacle.  In Him we come together as one not only with Him but with all our past, present and future brothers and sisters.

Nelson's Bible Dictionary says, "The inner, western room was called the HOLY OF HOLIES...and it contained only one piece of furniture-- the holiest item in the tabernacle, the ark of the covenant {Jesus Christ is the New Covenant}... The lid of the ark was called the MERCY SEAT.

The outer, eastern room was called the Holy Place... it was entered through the blue, scarlet, and purple linen curtains which served as a door...

Up to this time, the nation of Israel had used a temporary tent CALLED THE TABERNACLE OF THE CONGREGATION...

When the tribes were camped, two silver trumpets were used to summon the tribes to gather at the tabernacle. The tabernacle was also the place where the 70 elders advised and counseled the people...  It was also the place of specific judgments... and appointments....  

The phrase is also translated TABERNACLE OF THE CONGREGATION Ex. 27:21), (KJV) and tent of meeting (RSV)." (from Nelson's Illustrated Bible Dictionary)

The Tabernacle is called the "Tabernacle Of Witness":
(Acts 7:44) "Our fathers had the tabernacle of witness in the wilderness, as He appointed, instructing Moses to make it according to the pattern that he had seen" (NKJ).

"Tent, or Tabernacle, of Meeting. Two compound phrases were used in Scripture... the Tabernacle of meeting, "WHERE I WILL MEET WITH YOU"...; AND "THE TENT OF THE TESTIMONY"... In the latter case the tent derived its name from that which was the center of its holiness, i.e., the two tables of stone within the Ark, which were emphatically the testimony... (Unger's Bible Dictionary)

We need to concentrate, for a moment, on one of God's "latter day" promises.   This promise is being fulfilled, today, in more Christians than ever before.   He promises to write Himself in our hearts, so that by nature we will conform to God's Word.  Of course, God is the Word; and therefore, His nature is the Word expressed.  Confirmation of this promise is found in the following verses:

(Jer 31:31-34) "Behold, the days are coming, says the LORD, when I will make a new covenant {Jesus Christ} with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah -- not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers in the day that I took them by the hand to lead them out of the land of Egypt, My covenant which they broke, though I was a husband to them, says the LORD.  But this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, says the LORD: I will put My law in their minds, and write it on their hearts; and I will be their God, and they shall be My people.  No more shall every man teach his neighbor, and every man his brother, saying, 'Know the LORD,' for they all shall know Me, from the least of them to the greatest of them, says the LORD. For I will forgive their iniquity, and their sin I will remember no more."  (NKJ)

Keep in mind the following verses, "For as many of you as were baptized into Christ have put on Christ.  There is neither Jew {Israelite} nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free, there is neither male nor female; for you are all one in Christ Jesus.  And if you are Christ's, then you are Abraham's seed, and heirs according to the promise. (Gal 3:27-29; NKJ)

(Heb 8:1-13)   "Now this is the main point of the things we are saying: We have such a High Priest, who is seated at the right hand of the throne of the Majesty in the heavens, a Minister of the sanctuary and of the TRUE TABERNACLE which the Lord erected, and not man.  For every high priest is appointed to offer both gifts and sacrifices. Therefore it is necessary that this One also have something to offer.  For if He were on earth, He would not be a priest, since there are priests who offer the gifts according to the law; who serve the copy and shadow of the heavenly things, as Moses was divinely instructed when he was about to make the tabernacle. For He said, 'See that you make all things according to the pattern shown you on the mountain.'  But now He has obtained a more excellent ministry, inasmuch as He is also Mediator of a better covenant, which was established on better promises.   For if that first covenant had been faultless, then no place would have been sought for a second. Because finding fault with them, He says: "Behold, the days are coming, says the Lord, when I will make a new covenant {Jesus Christ} with the house of Israel {to them first, then to the Gentile, through Jesus} and with the house of Judah {Jew} -- not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers in the day when I took them by the hand to lead them out of the land of Egypt; because they did not continue in My covenant, and I disregarded them, says the Lord.  For this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel {to them first, then to the Gentile, through Jesus} after those days, says the Lord: I will put My laws in their mind and write them on their hearts; and I will be their God, and they shall be My people.   None of them shall teach his neighbor, and none his brother, saying, 'Know the Lord,' for all shall know Me, from the least of them to the greatest of them.   For I will be merciful to their unrighteousness, and their sins and their lawless deeds I will remember no more.  In that He says, "A new covenant," He has made the first obsolete. Now what is becoming obsolete and growing old is ready to vanish away.  (NKJ)

Romans 8:1-4 tells us, "There is therefore now no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus, who do not walk according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit.  For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has made me free from the law of sin and death.  For what the law could not do in that it was weak through the flesh, God did by sending His own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, on account of sin: He condemned sin in the flesh, that the righteous requirement of the law might be fulfilled in us who do not walk according to the flesh but according to the Spirit.
(NKJ)

AND

"You are our epistle written in our hearts, known and read by all men; clearly you are an epistle {written message} of Christ, ministered by us, written not with ink but by the Spirit of the living God, not on tablets of stone but on tablets of flesh, that is, of the heart. (2 Cor 3:2-3; NKJ)

TABERNACLE OF ISRAEL
"Its {tabernacle's} chief interest to us lies in its having descended from the first word ever applied in the OT to a local sanctuary, BETHEL, "THE HOUSE OF GOD" (Gen. 28:17), keeping its place side by side with other words-- tent, Tabernacle, palace, Temple, synagogue-- and at last outliving them all; rising in the Christian Ecclesia to yet higher uses (1 Tim. 3:15), "HOUSE OF GOD," (KJV); "HOUSEHOLD OF GOD," (NASB); "GOD'S HOUSEHOLD," (NIV).

PLACE OF SANCTITY (saintliness: godliness; quality of being sacred). The Tabernacle was also referred to as a place of sanctity ..., the holy, consecrated place... "sanctuary"). The terms were applied, according to the consecrated scale of holiness of which THE TABERNACLE BORE WITNESS, SOMETIMES TO THE WHOLE STRUCTURE,... sometimes to the innermost sanctuary, the Holy of Holies..." (Nelson's Bible Dictionary)

What Is The Feast Of Tabernacles...
Vine's Expository Dictionary of the Bible, defines "tabernacle" as, "(miskan); tent meeting; DWELLING PLACE. God dwelt among His people in the wilderness, and His presence was...manifest in the tent meeting... The tabernacle was mobile".

In Samuel 7:6, the LORD (Jehovah; the Eternal Self Existent) says, "For I have not dwelt in a house since the time that I brought the children of Israel up from Egypt, even to this day, but have moved about in a tent and in a tabernacle." (NKJ)

Regarding the temple, and not the "tabernacle", Vine's says, "Solomon built it and the finished structure was known as ‘the house', the temple, INSTEAD OF THE "DWELLING PLACE (miskan)". Vine's also says, "in non-religious use "miskan" {tabernacle} is ‘the dwelling place' of an INDIVIDUAL (Num 16:24) of Israel (Num 24:5), and OF STRANGERS (Hab 1:6)".

The Feast of Tabernacles is also called, "Feast of the Harvest; ...because it was held AFTER THE INGATHERING OF THE HARVEST AND FRUITS. The festival of Jehovah (Heb. hag YHWH, ..., "feast of the LORD"), or simply the festival..., "the feast"), because it was the most important or well known." (Unger's Bible Dictionary)

New Unger's goes on to say that this Feast "unites two elements: THE INGATHERING OF THE LABOR OF THE FIELD (EXO. 23:16), THE FRUIT OF THE EARTH (Lev. 23:39)-- OR THE INGATHERING OF THE THRESHING FLOOR AND THE WINE PRESS (Deut. 16:13)-- and the dwelling in booths, which were to be matters of joy to Israel (Lev. 23:41-43; Deut. 16:14). The dwelling in booths was to be a reminder to them of the Fatherly care and protection of Jehovah while Israel was journeying from Egypt to Canaan (Deut. 8:7-18). ‘In comparison with the 'house of bondage' the dwelling in booths on the march through the wilderness was in itself an image of freedom and happiness' (K. &D., Com., ad loc.). Such a reminder of God's loving care and Israel's dependence would, naturally, keep the Israelites from pride and conceit.

Mosaic Observance: On the first day of the feast, booths were constructed of fresh branches of fruit and palm trees, ‘boughs of leafy trees and willows.' These were located in courts, streets, public squares, and on house roofs. In these all home-born Israelites were to dwell during the festival, in memory of their fathers' dwelling in booths after their exodus from Egypt"... The booth in Scripture is not an image of privation and misery but of protection, preservation, and shelter from heat, storm, and tempest... Each bull, ram, and lamb was accompanied with its prescribed grain and drink offering {Communion}... Every sabbatical year the law was to be read publicly in the sanctuary on the FIRST DAY of the festival (Deut. 31:10-13). THE SIX FOLLOWING DAYS WERE HALF FESTIVALS, probably devoted to social enjoyments and friendly gatherings, WHEN EVERY FAMILY HEAD WAS TO EXTEND HOSPITALITY, ESPECIALLY TO THE POOR AND THE STRANGER (16:14). To these seven days there was added an eighth". (from New Unger's Bible Dictionary)

AND

(2 Pet 1:13-14) "Yes, I think it is right, as long as I am in this tent (TABERNACLE, KJV), to stir you up by reminding you, knowing that shortly I must put off my tent (TABERNACLE), just as our Lord Jesus Christ showed me. (NKJ)

Did you notice that Paul said, "DESIRING TO BE CLOTHED WITH OUR HABITATION {tabernacle} WHICH IS FROM HEAVEN, IF INDEED, HAVING BEEN CLOTHED, WE SHALL NOT BE FOUND NAKED", and "NOT BECAUSE WE WANT TO BE UNCLOTHED, BUT FURTHER CLOTHED, that mortality may be swallowed up by life." We understand then, that God will COVER US with Himself; He is the Tabernacle; and of course, He will continue to live in us.

New Unger's states, "The Tabernacle in comprehensive terms is set forth in the NT as typical in three ways: (1) of the church, as "a dwelling of God in the Spirit"..., (2) of the believer who is "a temple of the Holy Spirit" ..., (3) as a portrayal of heavenly reality ... In its minute details the Tabernacle speaks of Christ. This is true of the high priest, the furniture, the ritual, and the worship. (from New Unger's Bible Dictionary)

The individual 'tabernacles/booths' represent our own personal body, our TEMPORARY bodies while on earth. Through Jesus Christ, our bodies are FREE and no longer in bondage. Each saved Believer, who has received the Holy Spirit, is a "DWELLING PLACE" of God.

he Feast of Tabernacles brings the individual temporary body of each individual man {past, present and future} into the permanent TABERNACLE of God {future}, not made with hands. New Unger's says, ""IN ALL SPECIAL FACTS CONNECTED WITH THE TABERNACLE THE ORIGINAL THOUGHT REAPPEARS. IT IS THE PLACE WHERE MAN MEETS WITH GOD...".

I believe that the most important thing to remember about the Feast of Tabernacles, is that the TABERNACLE is both a "dwelling place" of God INDIVIDUALLY and IN UNITY. All individual booths/tabernacles {persons/families} come together into the TABERNACLE of God; and the TABERNACLE OF GOD covers the congregation.

Psalms shows us, that the "tabernacle" is God's (our Father's) protection; and in the Old Testament it is a promise of the coming of Jesus Christ. (Ps 27:5-6) "For in the time of trouble he shall hide me in His (A)pavilion [TABERNACLE]; in the secret place of His tabernacle he shall hide me; HE SHALL SET ME HIGH UPON A ROCK {Jesus Christ}. And now my head shall be lifted up above my enemies all around me; therefore I will offer sacrifices of joy in His tabernacle; I will sing, yes, I will sing praises to the LORD" (NKJ).

        (A) PAVILION:
    "a hut (as of entwined boughs); also a lair". This word comes from the Hebrew word defined as:

              "to ENTWINE as a screen; TO FENCE IN, COVER OVER, PROTECT:- JOIN                  TOGETHER...".     This same description is used to define Tabernacle. 

In the Old Testament, "tabernacle" also signifies the Holy Of Holies. In the physical temple, the Holy Of Holies was the inner most part of the temple/tabernacle.   Only the High Priest was allowed enter into it. He entered one time a year to make atonement for his own, and the congregation's (Israel's) sins. Our Father told me, some years ago, that Jesus Christ is the Holy Of Holies in His Temple/Body.

(Heb 9:6) "Now when these things have been thus prepared, the priests are continually entering the outer tabernacle, performing the divine worship, but into the second only the high priest {enters} once a year, not without {taking} blood, which he offers for himself and for the sins of the people committed in ignorance. The Holy Spirit {is} signifying this, that the way into the holy place {Jesus Christ} has not yet been disclosed, while the outer tabernacle is still standing, which {is} a symbol for the present time. Accordingly both gifts and sacrifices are offered which cannot MAKE THE WORSHIPER PERFECT IN CONSCIENCE, since they {relate} only to food and drink and various washings, regulations for the body imposed until a time of reformation. But WHEN CHRIST APPEARED {AS} A HIGH PRIEST of the good things to come, {He entered} THROUGH THE GREATER AND MORE PERFECT TABERNACLE, NOT MADE WITH HANDS, that is to say, not of this creation; and not through the blood of goats and calves, but THROUGH HIS OWN BLOOD, HE ENTERED THE HOLY PLACE ONCE FOR ALL, having obtained eternal redemption.

(A) DWELT:
" to tent or encamp, i.e. to occupy (as a (1)MANSION) or (specifically) to reside (as God did in the Tabernacle of old, a symbol of protection and communion)". This word comes from:

        "a hut or temporary residence, i.e. THE HUMAN BODY (AS THE ABODE              OF THE SPIRIT)".  This word comes from:

                "a tent or cloth hut"

In Revelation 21:3, "And I heard a loud voice from heaven saying, "Behold, the TABERNACLE OF GOD IS WITH MEN, and He will dwell (SHALL SPREAD HIS TABERNACLE/SELF OVER; TO PITCH A TENT) with them, and they shall be His people. God Himself will be with them and be their God" (NKJ).

Vine's Expository Dictionary of Biblical Words says the word "dwelt" (KJV) means, "TO TABERNACLE"...; SHALL SPREAD (HIS) TABERNACLE (RV)", or tent." Did you notice that Rev 21:3 said that God will "spread" Himself, His Tabernacle "over"; and dwell with us. Below God speaks of the "birth" of Israel; please notice the similarity in the wording used:

(Ezek 16:2-12) "Son of man, cause Jerusalem to know her abominations, and say, 'Thus says the Lord GOD to Jerusalem: "Your birth and your nativity are from the land of Canaan; your father was an Amorite and your mother a Hittite. As for your nativity, on the day you were born your navel cord was not cut, nor were you washed in water {the water of the Word; water Baptism} to cleanse you; you were not rubbed with salt {the covenant} nor swathed in swaddling cloths. No eye pitied you, to do any of these things for you, to have compassion on you; but you were thrown out into the open field, when you yourself were loathed on the day you were born. AND WHEN I PASSED BY YOU AND SAW YOU STRUGGLING IN YOUR OWN BLOOD, I SAID TO YOU IN YOUR BLOOD, 'LIVE!' YES, I SAID TO YOU IN YOUR BLOOD, 'LIVE!' I made you thrive like a plant in the field; and you grew, matured, and became very beautiful {Holy}. Your breasts were formed, your hair grew, but you were naked and bare {as Adam and Eve}. When I passed by you again and looked upon you, indeed your time was the time of LOVE; so I SPREAD MY SKIRT {WING} OVER YOU AND COVERED YOUR NAKEDNESS. Yes, I swore an oath to you and entered into a covenant with you, and you became Mine," says the Lord GOD. Then I washed you in water; yes, I thoroughly washed off your blood, and I anointed you with oil {Holy Spirit}... And I put a jewel in your nose, earrings in your ears, and A BEAUTIFUL CROWN ON YOUR HEAD. {All the following is symbolic of the Temple/Tabernacle-} Thus you were adorned with gold and silver, and your clothing was of fine linen, silk, and embroidered cloth. You ate pastry of fine flour, honey, and oil. You were exceedingly beautiful {Holy}, and succeeded to royalty. Your fame went out among the nations because of your beauty, for it was perfect through My splendor which I had bestowed on you," says the Lord GOD. (NKJ)

In Acts, Luke tells us, "Simeon has related how God first concerned Himself about taking from among the Gentiles a people for His name. And with this, the words of the Prophets agree, just as it is written, ‘After these things I will return, and I WILL REBUILD THE TABERNACLE OF DAVID WHICH HAS FALLEN, and I will rebuild its ruins, and I will restore it, IN ORDER THAT THE REST OF MANKIND MAY SEEK THE LORD, AND ALL THE GENTILES WHO ARE CALLED BY MY NAME,' (Acts 15:14-16; NAS)

(Amos 9:11-13) "On that day I will raise up the tabernacle of David, which has fallen down, and repair its damages; I will raise up its ruins, and rebuild it as in the days of old; That they may possess the remnant of Edom, and all the Gentiles who are called by My name," says the LORD who does this thing. Behold, the days are coming," says the LORD, "When the plowman shall overtake the reaper, and the treader of grapes him who sows seed; the mountains shall drip with sweet wine, and all the hills shall flow with it. (NKJ)

The Feast of Tabernacles, or the INGATHERING is the bringing together of God's Beloveds into ONE ACCORD, ONE PLACE at ONE TIME. God is the TABERNACLE of Holiness covering those who have the Holy Spirit residing in them. I expect it to begin with the sound of a loud trumpet (Feast of Trumpets), calling us together into the ONE BODY, who is Jesus Christ (the head of His Body). All members of this Body (His) will have received atonement through His ONE BLOOD (Day Of Atonement). As we come together in our COMPLETE ONENESS IN HIS BODY, we are told in Revelations 21, "I, John, saw the holy city, New Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as A BRIDE ADORNED FOR HER HUSBAND. And I heard a loud voice from heaven saying, "BEHOLD, THE TABERNACLE OF GOD IS WITH MEN, AND HE WILL DWELL WITH THEM, AND THEY SHALL BE HIS PEOPLE. God Himself will be with them and be their God. (Rev 21:2-3; NKJ)

God is the TABERNACLE, covering all those in Him (and His Bride); AND HE WILL DWELL/TABERNACLE WITH THEM FOREVER! Indeed, we earnestly DESIRE TO BE CLOTHED WITH OUR HABITATION WHICH IS FROM HEAVEN, IF INDEED, HAVING BEEN CLOTHED, WE SHALL NOT BE FOUND NAKED. FOR WE WHO ARE IN THIS TENT (TABERNACLE] GROAN, BEING BURDENED, NOT BECAUSE WE WANT TO BE UNCLOTHED, BUT FURTHER CLOTHED, THAT MORTALITY MAY BE SWALLOWED UP BY LIFE.
