a memorial feast of their wilderness journey of the past.
Therefore they made booths of palm trees and willows. The palm is the
emblem of victory and the willow the emblem of suffering and weeping.
This feast is prophetic of the millennium and the coming glory, when
Israel is back in the land and the kingdom has been established in
their midst. Then the King will manifest Himself in the midst of His
people. It will be a time of rejoicing and victory, when sorrow and
sighing, so long the lot of Israel, will no more be heard. It comes
after the harvest (the end of the age) and the vintage (the winepress
of the wrath of God). The Gentiles, too, will join in that feast; it
will be celebrated by Jews and Gentiles throughout millennial times
(Zech. xiv:16), while the glorified church dwells with the Lord in the
heavenly Jerusalem above the earth in marvellous glory, seen by the
inhabitants of the world during the millennial age. It will probably
be during that feast that the King of kings and Lord of lords will
appear in visible glory in Jerusalem to receive the homage of Israel
and the representatives of converted nations. How beautiful is the
order of these last feasts of Jehovah! The blowing of the trumpets,
the remnant of Israel called and gathered; the day of atonement, Israel

second time; the feast of Tabernacles, the Kingdom come, the time of
peace and glory for the earth.

This is another millennial name of the city of Jerusalem. The closing

their enemies, Gog and Magog, the powers from the North. Then the
glory returns (Ezek. xliii:1-5), a wonderful temple is seen once more
in Jerusalem, the Lord manifests Himself in the midst of the city and
living waters will flow forth from Jerusalem. Thus the last compound
name of Jehovah clearly points to millennial times.

We have seen that the feasts and the names of Jehovah are prophetic.
They reveal the great redemption and tell us of the cross, the work
accomplished there, how God made provision and redeems unto Himself.
We traced in them His resurrection and the victory; the coming of the
Holy Spirit, the formation and completion of the church; the
regathering and the restoration of Is
