WELCOME
Greeting
Dear Feast pilgrims,
Allow me to extend a warm welcome to everyone who has joined us for the ICEJ’s Feast of Tabernacles 2024. We are especially grateful to those who made the journey up to Jerusalem for this year’s Feast, despite the current conflict here in Israel.
Every Feast has its own unique dynamic, but this year’s gathering will be unlike any before it. We are meeting as Israel marks one year since the war began last October 7. The deep wounds of that tragic day linger still, especially with the Israeli hostages remaining in Gaza. Thus, your presence here will be a powerful and timely statement of steadfast Christian support for the Jewish nation and people.
As we “keep the Feast” together (Zechariah 14:16), may you enjoy rich fellowship with other believers, may the preaching of the Word inspire you, may the anointed worship minister to your spirit, and may our prayers touch the heart of God on Israel’s behalf.
And for those joining us through the online Feast, may the Lord bless you from Zion in the same measure as though you were standing in our midst here in Jerusalem.
Worthy is His Name!
David R. Parsons
Senior Vice President & Spokesman
International Christian Embassy Jerusalem
Blessing & Comforting Israel since 1980.
The International Christian Embassy Jerusalem was established in 1980 to represent Christians around the world who support Israel and respect the Jewish people’s deep attachment to Jerusalem. Today, the ICEJ is connecting millions of Christians, churches and denominations worldwide to the nation and people of Israel. We recognize the modern-day restoration of Israel as the faithfulness of God in keeping His ancient covenant promises to the Jewish people.
Impact Israel
From the Word
The theme of this year’s Feast of Tabernacles is “By My Spirit”.
All Scriptures are from the New King James Version
May the preaching of the Word of God delivered through our Feast speakers be a source of blessing, comfort, strength, encouragement, inspiration and transformation to you and your family.
So he answered and said to me: “This is the word of the Lord to Zerubbabel: ‘Not by might nor by power, but by My Spirit,’ Says the Lord of hosts.” (Zechariah 4:6)
“... for I am with you,’ says the Lord of hosts... My Spirit remains among you; do not fear!’
(Haggai 2:4-5)
“I will put My Spirit within you and cause you to walk in My statutes, and you will keep My judgments and do them.”
(Ezekiel 36:27)
“And it shall come to pass in the last days, says God, that I will pour out My Spirit on all flesh...”
(Acts 2:17)
“But you shall receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you; and you shall be witnesses to Me in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth.”
(Acts 1:8)
Why We Celebrate the Feast of Tabernacles
Why do Christians come up to Jerusalem each year to celebrate the Feast of Tabernacles? Because this biblical festival has great relevance, not just for Israel but for all nations.
A Feast for All People
The Feast of Tabernacles, or Sukkot, is unique in that the Gentile nations also were invited to come up to Jerusalem to worship the Lord at this "appointed time". This tradition arose from the command that Israel should sacrifice seventy bulls at Sukkot on behalf of the seventy nations descended from Noah (see Numbers 29:12-35). Solomon later dedicated the Temple at Sukkot and encouraged foreigners to come there to pray (2 Chronicles 6:32-33). Indeed, Jerusalem was always destined to be a "house of prayer for all nations" (Isaiah 56:7; Matthew 21:13).
Remembering God's Past Provision
The most visible symbol of Sukkot is the small booths which Jewish families are commanded to dwell in for the eight days of the Feast (Leviticus 23:33-43). These flimsy shelters are a reminder of Israel’s forty years in the Wilderness, where they were totally dependent on the Lord. Yet God was faithful to provide everything they needed. In the same way, Christians can rejoice in a God who has provided all we need to walk uprightly before Him.
Rejoicing in His Presence Today
Sukkot also marks the ingathering of the all-important fall harvest here in the Land of Israel. Today, Christians can rejoice in the great harvest for the Kingdom of God taking place all around the world.
The Joy of the Age to Come
The prophet Zechariah foresees a time when all nations will ascend to Jerusalem every year to "worship the King, the Lord of hosts, and to keep the Feast of Tabernacles” (Zechariah 14:16). Amazingly, Sukkot holds the great prophetic promise that throughout the Messianic Age, the entire world will come celebrate this Feast because it will mark the glorious moment when Jesus came to take up the throne of David in Jerusalem. This is indeed a feast of joy, a harbinger of that wonderful day when we shall “enter the joy of the Lord”.
For more than 40 years now, Christians from all over the world have come up to Jerusalem each fall to celebrate the Feast of Tabernacles because we believe that day is soon coming!

Feast Offering
Send Your Feast Offering to Jerusalem! Each year at the Feast of Tabernacles, many of our pilgrims have learned to bring a special offering to present before the Lord in Jerusalem at Sukkot, just as the ancient Israelites were commanded to do (Deuteronomy 16:16). This is an “appointed time” when we are to remember God’s faithful provision over our lives year-round, and we have heard many testimonies of how God has abundantly blessed those who responded with a Feast offering.
Please prayerfully consider making this a year of sowing in faith and reaping in abundance, by planting a generous seed in the fertile soil of Israel’s restoration through this Feast offering. We believe there is a unique blessing appointed just for you in giving out of obedience and a grateful heart at this time!
