Leviticus 23 - Dates
Again Yehovah spoke to Moses, saying,
34
Speak to the sons of Israel, saying, On the fifteenth of this seventh month is
the Feast of Booths for seven days to Yehovah.
35
On the first day is a holy convocation; you shall do no laborious work of any
kind.
36
For seven days you shall present an offering by fire to Yehovah. On the eighth
day you shall have a holy convocation and present an offering by fire to the
Yehovah; it is an assembly. You shall do no laborious work.
37
These are the appointed times of Yehovah which you shall proclaim as holy
convocations, to present offerings by fire to Yehovah burnt offerings and grain
offerings, sacrifices and drink offerings, each days matter on its own day
38
besides those of the Sabbaths of Yehovah, and besides your gifts and besides
all your votive and freewill offerings, which you give to Yehovah.
39
On exactly the fifteenth day of the seventh month, when you have gathered
in the crops of the land, you shall celebrate the feast of Yehovah for seven days,
with a rest on the first day and a rest on the eighth day.
40
Now on the first day you shall take for yourselves the foliage of beautiful trees,
palm branches and boughs of leafy trees and willows of the brook, and you shall
rejoice before Yehovah your God for seven days.
41
You shall thus celebrate it as a feast to Yehovah for seven days in the year. It
shall be a perpetual statute throughout your generations; you shall celebrate it in
the seventh month.
42
You shall live in booths for seven days; all the native-born in Israel shall live
in booths,
43
so that your generations may know that I had the sons of Israel live in booths
when I brought them out from the land of Egypt. I am the Yehovah your God.
44
So Moses declared to the sons of Israel the appointed times of the Yehovah.

Function and observance


All males travel to Jerusalem before the presence of Yehovah and give an offering
from the fall harvest. Everyone must celebrate and rejoice during this time. The
offering consisted of donations to the priests because they had no property and
no means of supporting themselves. Donations were also for the poor, widows,
and orphans. No needy person was to be left out of the festivities. Any other
donations were used to purchase items for the week-long party.
The application to His people is that we give our tithes during this time: to servant
leaders who have no house and cannot work; to the widows, orphans, and poor;
to purchase necessities for the celebration. Currently, there is no temple in
Jerusalem so His people ought to observe the feast as a shadow of the coming
Messiah and look forward to the new Kingdom as prophecied in Zechariah.
Exodus 23:14-17
14
Three times a year you shall celebrate a feast to Me.
15
You shall observe the Feast of Unleavened Bread; for seven days you are to
eat unleavened bread, as I commanded you, at the appointed time in the month
Abib, for in it you came out of Egypt. And none shall appear before Me emptyhanded.
16
Also you shall observe the Feast of the Harvest of the first fruits of your labors
from what you sow in the field; also the Feast of the Ingathering at the end of the
year when you gather in the fruit of your labors from the field.
17
Three times a year all your males shall appear before the Lord Yehovah.
Deuteronomy 14 Annual tithe is applied to Sukkot; every 3rd year tithe
applies to your local community
22
You shall surely tithe all the produce from what you sow, which comes out of
the field every year.
23
You shall eat in the presence of Yehovah your God, at the place where He
chooses to establish His name, the tithe of your grain, your new wine, your oil,
and the firstborn of your herd and your flock, so that you may learn to fear
Yehovah your God always.
24
If the distance is so great for you that you are not able to bring the tithe, since
the place where Yehovah your God chooses to set His name is too far away from
you when Yehovah your God blesses you,
25
then you shall exchange it for money, and bind the money in your hand and go
to the place which Yehovah your God chooses.
26
You may spend the money for whatever your heart desires: for oxen, or sheep,
or wine, or strong drink, or whatever your heart desires; and there you shall eat
in the presence of Yehovah your God and rejoice, you and your household.
27
Also you shall not neglect the Levite who is in your town, for he has no portion
or inheritance among you.

Jonathan W. Lankford

http://jonathansdocs.com

SUKKOT STUDY AND PUBLIC READING

At the end of every third year you shall bring out all the tithe of your produce
in that year, and shall deposit it in your town.
29
The Levite, because he has no portion or inheritance among you, and the alien,
the orphan and the widow who are in your town, shall come and eat and be
satisfied, in order that Yehovah your God may bless you in all the work of your
hand which you do.
28

Deuteronomy 16:13-16 rejoicing is required


13
You shall celebrate the Feast of Booths seven days after you have gathered in
from your threshing floor and your wine vat;
14
and you shall rejoice in your feast, you and your son and your daughter and
your male and female servants and the Levite and the stranger and the orphan
and the widow who are in your towns.
15
Seven days you shall celebrate a feast to Yehovah your God in the place which
Yehovah chooses, because Yehovah your God will bless you in all your produce
and in all the work of your hands, so that you will be altogether joyful.
16
Three times in a year all your males shall appear before Yehovah your God in
the place which He chooses, at the Feast of Unleavened Bread and at the Feast of
Weeks and at the Feast of Booths, and they shall not appear before Yehovah
empty-handed.
Zechariah 14 Sukkot in the future Kingdom
16
Then it will come about that any who are left of all the nations that went against
Jerusalem will go up from year to year to worship the King, Yehovah of hosts, and
to celebrate the Feast of Booths.
17
And it will be that whichever of the families of the earth does not go up to
Jerusalem to worship the King, Yehovah of hosts, there will be no rain on them.
18
If the family of Egypt does not go up or enter, then no rain will fall on them; it
will be the plague with which Yehovah smites the nations who do not go up to
celebrate the Feast of Booths.
19
This will be the punishment of Egypt, and the punishment of all the nations
who do not go up to celebrate the Feast of Booths.
20
In that day there will be inscribed on the bells of the horses, Holy to Yehovah
And the cooking pots in Yehovahs house will be like the bowls before the altar.
21
Every cooking pot in Jerusalem and in Judah will be holy to Yehovah of hosts;
and all who sacrifice will come and take of them and boil in them. And there will
no longer be a Canaanite in the house of Yehovah of hosts in that day.

SUKKOT STUDY AND PUBLIC READING

Historical significance
Yehovah led Israel through the desert as they all (Israel and Yehovah) lived in
tents. Much later, the third king of Israel, Solomon, dedicated the new temple on
the holy days of Sukkot. The temple became the house where Yehovah lived
during the kingdom of Israel. Again much later, during the week of Sukkot, Yeshua
Messiah was born. On another occasion during Sukkot one year, Yeshua preached
about the kingdom of God, and the Spirit that would come. He even brought down
the kingdom temporarily for His disciples to see.
Exodus 40:33-38 Yehovah lived in the tabernacle and led Israel.
33
He erected the court all around the tabernacle and the altar, and hung up the
veil for the gateway of the court. Thus Moses finished the work.
34
Then the cloud covered the tent of meeting, and the glory of Yehovah filled the
tabernacle.
35
Moses was not able to enter the tent of meeting because the cloud had settled
on it, and the glory of Yehovah filled the tabernacle.
36
Throughout all their journeys whenever the cloud was taken up from over the
tabernacle, the sons of Israel would set out;
37
but if the cloud was not taken up, then they did not set out until the day when
it was taken up.
38
For throughout all their journeys, the cloud of Yehovah was on the tabernacle
by day, and there was fire in it by night, in the sight of all the house of Israel.

2 Chronicles 5 Yehovah lived in the Temple that Solomon dedicated.


1
Thus all the work that Solomon performed for the house of Yehovah was finished.
And Solomon brought in the things that David his father had dedicated, even the
silver and the gold and all the utensils, and put them in the treasuries of the house
of God.
2
Then Solomon assembled to Jerusalem the elders of Israel and all the heads of
the tribes, the leaders of the fathers households of the sons of Israel, to bring up
the ark of the covenant of Yehovah out of the city of David, which is Zion.
3
All the men of Israel assembled themselves to the king at the feast that is in the
seventh month.
4
Then all the elders of Israel came, and the Levites took up the ark.
5
They brought up the ark and the tent of meeting and all the holy utensils which
were in the tent; the Levitical priests brought them up.
6
And King Solomon and all the congregation of Israel who were assembled with
him before the ark, were sacrificing so many sheep and oxen that they could not
be counted or numbered.
7
Then the priests brought the ark of the covenant of Yehovah to its place, into
the inner sanctuary of the house, to the holy of holies, under the wings of the
cherubim.

Jonathan W. Lankford

SUKKOT STUDY AND PUBLIC READING

For the cherubim spread their wings over the place of the ark, so that the
cherubim made a covering over the ark and its poles.
9
The poles were so long that the ends of the poles of the ark could be seen in
front of the inner sanctuary, but they could not be seen outside; and they are
there to this day.
10
There was nothing in the ark except the two tablets which Moses put there at
Horeb, where Yehovah made a covenant with the sons of Israel, when they came
out of Egypt.
11
When the priests came forth from the holy place (for all the priests who were
present had sanctified themselves, without regard to divisions),
12
and all the Levitical singers, Asaph, Heman, Jeduthun, and their sons and
kinsmen, clothed in fine linen, with cymbals, harps and lyres, standing east of the
altar, and with them one hundred and twenty priests blowing trumpets
13
in unison when the trumpeters and the singers were to make themselves heard
with one voice to praise and to glorify Yehovah, and when they lifted up their voice
accompanied by trumpets and cymbals and instruments of music, and when they
praised Yehovah saying, He indeed is good for His loving kindness is everlasting,
then the house, the house of Yehovah, was filled with a cloud,
14
so that the priests could not stand to minister because of the cloud, for the glory
of Yehovah filled the house of God.
8

2 Chronicles 6
1
Then Solomon said, Yehovah has said that He would dwell in the thick cloud.
2
I have built You a lofty house, And a place for Your dwelling forever.
3
Then the king faced about and blessed all the assembly of Israel, while all the
assembly of Israel was standing.
4
He said, Blessed be Yehovah, the God of Israel, who spoke with His mouth to
my father David and has fulfilled it with His hands, saying,
5
Since the day that I brought My people from the land of Egypt, I did not choose
a city out of all the tribes of Israel in which to build a house that My name might
be there, nor did I choose any man for a leader over My people Israel;
6
but I have chosen Jerusalem that My name might be there, and I have chosen
David to be over My people Israel.
7
Now it was in the heart of my father David to build a house for the name of
Yehovah, the God of Israel.
8
But Yehovah said to my father David, Because it was in your heart to build a
house for My name, you did well that it was in your heart.
9
Nevertheless you shall not build the house, but your son who will be born to
you, he shall build the house for My name.
10
Now Yehovah has fulfilled His word which He spoke; for I have risen in the
place of my father David and sit on the throne of Israel, as Yehovah promised,
and have built the house for the name of Yehovah, the God of Israel.
11
There I have set the ark in which is the covenant of Yehovah, which He made
with the sons of Israel.

Then he stood before the altar of Yehovah in the presence of all the assembly
of Israel and spread out his hands.
13
Now Solomon had made a bronze platform, five cubits long, five cubits wide and
three cubits high, and had set it in the midst of the court; and he stood on it, knelt
on his knees in the presence of all the assembly of Israel and spread out his hands
toward heaven.
14
He said, O Yehovah, the God of Israel, there is no god like You in heaven or on
earth, keeping covenant and showing loving kindness to Your servants who walk
before You with all their heart;
15
who has kept with Your servant David, my father, that which You have promised
him; indeed You have spoken with Your mouth and have fulfilled it with Your hand,
as it is this day.
16
Now therefore, O Yehovah, the God of Israel, keep with Your servant David,
my father, that which You have promised him, saying, You shall not lack a man
to sit on the throne of Israel, if only your sons take heed to their way, to walk in
My law as you have walked before Me.
17
Now therefore, O Yehovah, the God of Israel, let Your word be confirmed which
You have spoken to Your servant David.
18
But will God indeed dwell with mankind on the earth? Behold, heaven and the
highest heaven cannot contain You; how much less this house which I have built.
19
Yet have regard to the prayer of Your servant and to his supplication, O
Yehovah my God, to listen to the cry and to the prayer which Your servant prays
before You;
20
that Your eye may be open toward this house day and night, toward the place
of which You have said that You would put Your name there, to listen to the prayer
which Your servant shall pray toward this place.
21
Listen to the supplications of Your servant and of Your people Israel when they
pray toward this place; hear from Your dwelling place, from heaven; hear and
forgive.
22
If a man sins against his neighbor and is made to take an oath, and he comes
and takes an oath before Your altar in this house,
23
then hear from heaven and act and judge Your servants, punishing the wicked
by bringing his way on his own head and justifying the righteous by giving him
according to his righteousness.
24
If Your people Israel are defeated before an enemy because they have sinned
against You, and they return to You and confess Your name, and pray and make
supplication before You in this house,
25
then hear from heaven and forgive the sin of Your people Israel, and bring them
back to the land which You have given to them and to their fathers.
26
When the heavens are shut up and there is no rain because they have sinned
against You, and they pray toward this place and confess Your name, and turn
from their sin when You afflict them;
27
then hear in heaven and forgive the sin of Your servants and Your people Israel,
indeed, teach them the good way in which they should walk. And send rain on
Your land which You have given to Your people for an inheritance.

If there is famine in the land, if there is pestilence, if there is blight or mildew,


if there is locust or grasshopper, if their enemies besiege them in the land of their
cities, whatever plague or whatever sickness there is,
29
whatever prayer or supplication is made by any man or by all Your people Israel,
each knowing his own affliction and his own pain, and spreading his hands toward
this house,
30
then hear from heaven Your dwelling place, and forgive, and render to each
according to all his ways, whose heart You know for You alone know the hearts of
the sons of men,
31
that they may fear You, to walk in Your ways as long as they live in the land
which You have given to our fathers.
32
Also concerning the foreigner who is not from Your people Israel, when he
comes from a far country for Your great names sake and Your mighty hand and
Your outstretched arm, when they come and pray toward this house,
33
then hear from heaven, from Your dwelling place, and do according to all for
which the foreigner calls to You, in order that all the peoples of the earth may
know Your name, and fear You as do Your people Israel, and that they may know
that this house which I have built is called by Your name.
34
When Your people go out to battle against their enemies, by whatever way You
shall send them, and they pray to You toward this city which You have chosen and
the house which I have built for Your name,
35
then hear from heaven their prayer and their supplication, and maintain their
cause.
36
When they sin against You (for there is no man who does not sin) and You are
angry with them and deliver them to an enemy, so that they take them away
captive to a land far off or near,
37
if they take thought in the land where they are taken captive, and repent and
make supplication to You in the land of their captivity, saying, We have sinned,
we have committed iniquity and have acted wickedly;
38
if they return to You with all their heart and with all their soul in the land of
their captivity, where they have been taken captive, and pray toward their land
which You have given to their fathers and the city which You have chosen, and
toward the house which I have built for Your name,
39
then hear from heaven, from Your dwelling place, their prayer and supplications,
and maintain their cause and forgive Your people who have sinned against You.
40
Now, O my God, I pray, let Your eyes be open and Your ears attentive to the
prayer offered in this place.
41
Now therefore arise, O Yehovah God, to Your resting place, You and the ark
of Your might; let Your priests, O Yehovah God, be clothed with salvation and let
Your godly ones rejoice in what is good.
42
O Yehovah God, do not turn away the face of Your anointed; remember Your
loving kindness to Your servant David.

2 Chronicles 7
1
Now when Solomon had finished praying, fire came down from heaven and
consumed the burnt offering and the sacrifices, and the glory of Yehovah filled the
house.
2
The priests could not enter into the house of Yehovah because the glory of
Yehovah filled Yehovahs house.
3
All the sons of Israel, seeing the fire come down and the glory of Yehovah upon
the house, bowed down on the pavement with their faces to the ground, and they
worshiped and gave praise to Yehovah, saying, Truly He is good, truly His loving
kindness is everlasting.
4
Then the king and all the people offered sacrifice before Yehovah.
5
King Solomon offered a sacrifice of 22,000 oxen and 120,000 sheep. Thus the
king and all the people dedicated the house of God.
6
The priests stood at their posts, and the Levites also, with the instruments of
music to Yehovah, which King David had made for giving praise to Yehovah for
His loving kindness is everlasting whenever he gave praise by their means,
while the priests on the other side blew trumpets; and all Israel was standing.
7
Then Solomon consecrated the middle of the court that was before the house of
Yehovah, for there he offered the burnt offerings and the fat of the peace offerings
because the bronze altar which Solomon had made was not able to contain the
burnt offering, the grain offering and the fat.
8
So Solomon observed the feast at that time for seven days, and all Israel with
him, a very great assembly who came from the entrance of Hamath to the brook
of Egypt.
9
On the eighth day they held a solemn assembly, for the dedication of the altar
they observed seven days and the feast seven days.
10
Then on the twenty-third day of the seventh month he sent the people to their
tents, rejoicing and happy of heart because of the goodness that Yehovah had
shown to David and to Solomon and to His people Israel.
11
Thus Solomon finished the house of Yehovah and the kings palace, and
successfully completed all that he had planned on doing in the house of Yehovah
and in his palace.
12
Then Yehovah appeared to Solomon at night and said to him, I have heard
your prayer and have chosen this place for Myself as a house of sacrifice.
13
If I shut up the heavens so that there is no rain, or if I command the locust to
devour the land, or if I send pestilence among My people,
14
and My people who are called by My name humble themselves and pray and
seek My face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, will
forgive their sin and will heal their land.
15
Now My eyes will be open and My ears attentive to the prayer offered in this
place.
16
For now I have chosen and consecrated this house that My name may be there
forever, and My eyes and My heart will be there perpetually.

As for you, if you walk before Me as your father David walked, even to do
according to all that I have commanded you, and will keep My statutes and My
ordinances,
18
then I will establish your royal throne as I covenanted with your father David,
saying, You shall not lack a man to be ruler in Israel.
19
But if you turn away and forsake My statutes and My commandments which I
have set before you, and go and serve other gods and worship them,
20
then I will uproot you from My land which I have given you, and this house
which I have consecrated for My name I will cast out of My sight and I will make
it a proverb and a byword among all peoples.
21
As for this house, which was exalted, everyone who passes by it will be
astonished and say, Why has Yehovah done thus to this land and to this house?
22
And they will say, Because they forsook Yehovah, the God of their fathers who
brought them from the land of Egypt, and they adopted other gods and worshiped
them and served them; therefore He has brought all this adversity on them.

New Testament references connected to Sukkot


John 7:37-40 Messiah taught about the Spirit during Tabernacles
37
Now on the last day, the great day of the feast, Yeshua stood and cried out,
saying, If anyone is thirsty, let him come to Me and drink.
38
He who believes in Me, as the Scriptures said, From his innermost being will
flow rivers of living water.
39
But this He spoke of the Spirit, whom those who believed in Him were to receive;
for the Spirit was not yet given, because Yeshua was not yet glorified.
40
Some of the people therefore, when they heard these words, were saying, This
certainly is the Prophet.
(According to Scripture, the Prophet is Yehovah Messiah)
John 1 Yehovahs Word temporarily lived among men.
1
In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was
God.
2
He was in the beginning with God.
3
All things came into being through Him, and apart from Him nothing came into
being that has come into being.
4
In Him was life, and the life was the Light of men.
5
The Light shines in the darkness, and the darkness did not comprehend it.
6
There came a man sent from God, whose name was John.
7
He came as a witness, to testify about the Light, so that all might believe through
him.
8
He was not the Light, but he came to testify about the Light.
9
There was the true Light which, coming into the world, enlightens every man.
10
He was in the world, and the world was made through Him, and the world did
not know Him.
11
He came to His own, and those who were His own did not receive Him.
12
But as many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of
God, even to those who believe in His name,
13
who were born, not of blood nor of the will of the flesh nor of the will of man,
but of God.
14
And the Word became flesh, and dwelt among us, and we saw His glory, glory
as of the only begotten from the Father, full of grace and truth.
John 2 Yehovah resurrected Yeshuas tabernacle (body).
18
The Jews then said to Him, What sign do You show us as your authority for
doing these things?
19
Yeshua answered them, Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it
up.
20
The Jews then said, It took forty-six years to build this temple, and will You
raise it up in three days?
21
But He was speaking of the temple of His body.

So when He was raised from the dead, His disciples remembered that He said
this; and they believed the Scripture and the word which Yeshua had spoken.
22

Luke 9:27-36 The kingdom of Yehovah came to earth during Sukkot.


27
But I say to you truthfully, there are some of those standing here who will not
taste death until they see the kingdom of God.
28
Some eight days after these sayings, He took along Peter and John and James,
and went up on the mountain to pray.
29
And while He was praying, the appearance of His face became different, and His
clothing became white and gleaming.
30
And behold, two men were talking with Him; and they were Moses and Elijah,
31
who, appearing in glory, were speaking of His departure which He was about to
accomplish at Jerusalem.
32
Now Peter and his companions had been overcome with sleep; but when they
were fully awake, they saw His glory and the two men standing with Him.
33
And as these were leaving Him, Peter said to Yeshua, Master, it is good for us
to be here; let us make three tabernacles: one for You, and one for Moses, and
one for Elijah not realizing what he was saying.
34
While he was saying this, a cloud formed and began to overshadow them; and
they were afraid as they entered the cloud.
35
Then a voice came out of the cloud, saying, This is My son, My chosen one;
listen to Him!
36
And when the voice had spoken, Yeshua was found alone. And they kept silent,
and reported to no one in those days any of the things which they had seen.
Acts 18:21 Paul kept Sukkot.
but took leave of them, saying, I must by all means keep this coming feast in
Jerusalem; but I will return again to you, God willing. And he sailed from Ephesus.
2 Corinthians 5:1 Our everlasting tabernacle (house) is waiting for us.
For we know that if the earthly tent which is our house is torn down, we have a
building from God, a house not made with hands, eternal in the heavens.

Prophetic significance
Yehovah will live on the earth and His Messiah Yeshua will reign for 1,000 years,
pictured by the 1 week of Sukkot. During the future kingdom, everyone must go
to Jerusalem to give offerings every year at the time of Sukkot. At the end of the
1,000 years, Yehovah will judge all the nations and annihilate the unbelievers
(lawless ones). This one day of judgment is pictured by the Last Great Day at the
end of the week of Sukkot.

Psalm 2 the Kingdom


6
But as for Me, I have installed My King Upon Zion, My holy mountain.
7
I will surely tell of the decree of Yehovah: He said to Me, You are My Son,
today I have begotten You.
8
Ask of Me, and I will surely give the nations as Your inheritance, and the very
ends of the earth as Your possession.
9
You shall break them with a rod of iron, You shall shatter them like
earthenware.
10
Now therefore, O kings, show discernment; take warning, O judges of the
earth.
11
Worship Yehovah with reverence And rejoice with trembling.
12
Do homage to the Son, that He not become angry, and you perish in the way,
for His wrath may soon be kindled. How blessed are all who take refuge in Him!
Isaiah 66 the Kingdom
15
For behold, Yehovah will come in fire and His chariots like the whirlwind, to
render His anger with fury, and His rebuke with flames of fire.
16
For Yehovah will execute judgment by fire and by His sword on all flesh, and
those slain by Yehovah will be many.
17
Those who sanctify and purify themselves to go to the gardens, following one
in the center, who eat swines flesh, detestable things and mice, will come to an
end altogether, declares Yehovah.
18
For I know their works and their thoughts; the time is coming to gather all
nations and tongues. And they shall come and see My glory.
19
I will set a sign among them and will send survivors from them to the nations:
Tarshish, Put, Lud, Meshech, Rosh, Tubal and Javan, to the distant coastlands that
have neither heard My fame nor seen My glory. And they will declare My glory
among the nations.

15

Then they shall bring all your brethren from all the nations as a grain offering
to Yehovah, on horses, in chariots, in litters, on mules and on camels, to My holy
mountain Jerusalem, says Yehovah, just as the sons of Israel bring their grain
offering in a clean vessel to the house of Yehovah.
21
I will also take some of them for priests and for Levites, says Yehovah.
22
For just as the new heavens and the new earth which I make will endure
before Me, declares Yehovah, So your offspring and your name will endure.
23
And it shall be from new moon to new moon and from Sabbath to Sabbath, all
mankind will come to bow down before Me, says Yehovah.
24
Then they will go forth and look on the corpses of the men who have
transgressed against Me. For their worm will not die and their fire will not be
quenched; and they will be an abhorrence to all mankind.

Revelation 2 the Kingdom


26
He who overcomes, and he who keeps My deeds until the end, TO HIM I WILL
GIVE AUTHORITY OVER THE NATIONS;
27
AND HE SHALL RULE THEM WITH A ROD OF IRON, AS THE VESSELS OF THE
POTTER ARE BROKEN TO PIECES, as I also have received authority from My
Father;
28
and I will give him the morning star.
Revelation 20 the Kingdom
1
Then I saw an angel coming down from heaven, holding the key of the abyss
and a great chain in his hand.
2
And he laid hold of the dragon, the serpent of old, who is the devil and Satan,
and bound him for a thousand years;
3
and he threw him into the abyss, and shut it and sealed it over him, so that he
would not deceive the nations any longer, until the thousand years were
completed; after these things he must be released for a short time.
4
Then I saw thrones, and they sat on them, and judgment was given to them.
And I saw the souls of those who had been beheaded because of their testimony
of Yeshua and because of the word of God, and those who had not worshiped the
beast or his image, and had not received the mark on their forehead and on their
hand; and they came to life and reigned with Christ for a thousand years.
5
The rest of the dead did not come to life until the thousand years were
completed. This is the first resurrection.
6
Blessed and holy is the one who has a part in the first resurrection; over these
the second death has no power, but they will be priests of God and of Christ and
will reign with Him for a thousand years.
Isaiah 51 Judgment Day
4
Pay attention to Me, O My people, and give ear to Me, O My nation; for a law
will go forth from Me, and I will set My justice for a light of the peoples.

My righteousness is near, My salvation has gone forth, and My arms will judge
the peoples; the coastlands will wait for Me, and for My arm they will wait
expectantly.
6
Lift up your eyes to the sky, then look to the earth beneath; for the sky will
vanish like smoke, and the earth will wear out like a garment and its inhabitants
will die in like manner; but My salvation will be forever, and My righteousness will
not wane.
7
Listen to Me, you who know righteousness, a people in whose heart is My law;
do not fear the reproach of man, nor be dismayed at their revilings.
8
For the moth will eat them like a garment, and the grub will eat them like wool.
But My righteousness will be forever, and My salvation to all generations.

Matthew 13 - Judgment Day


41
The Son of Man will send forth His angels, and they will gather out of His
kingdom all stumbling blocks, and those who commit lawlessness,
42
and will throw them into the furnace of fire; in that place there will be weeping
and gnashing of teeth.
43
Then THE RIGHTEOUS WILL SHINE FORTH AS THE SUN in the kingdom of their
Father. He who has ears, let him hear.
Revelation 14 - Judgment Day
18
Then another angel, the one who has power over fire, came out from the altar;
and he called with a loud voice to him who had the sharp sickle, saying, Put in
your sharp sickle and gather the clusters from the vine of the earth, because her
grapes are ripe.
19
So the angel swung his sickle to the earth and gathered the clusters from the
vine of the earth, and threw them into the great wine press of the wrath of God.
20
And the wine press was trodden outside the city, and blood came out from the
wine press, up to the horses bridles, for a distance of two hundred miles.
Revelation 20 - Judgment Day
7
When the thousand years are completed, Satan will be released from his prison,
8
and will come out to deceive the nations which are in the four corners of the
earth, Gog and Magog, to gather them together for the war; the number of them
is like the sand of the seashore.
9
And they came up on the broad plain of the earth and surrounded the camp of
the saints and the beloved city, and fire came down from heaven and devoured
them.
10
And the devil who deceived them was thrown into the lake of fire and brimstone,
where the beast and the false prophet are also; and they will be tormented day
and night forever and ever.
11
Then I saw a great white throne and Him who sat upon it, from whose presence
earth and heaven fled away, and no place was found for them.
12
And I saw the dead, the great and the small, standing before the throne, and
books were opened; and another book was opened, which is the book of life; and

the dead were judged from the things which were written in the books, according
to their deeds.
13
And the sea gave up the dead which were in it, and death and Hades gave up
the dead which were in them; and they were judged, every one of them according
to their deeds.
14
Then death and Hades were thrown into the lake of fire. This is the second
death, the lake of fire.
15
And if anyones name was not found written in the book of life, he was thrown
into the lake of fire.
Revelation 21 - Judgment Day
1
Then I saw a new heaven and a new earth; for the first heaven and the first earth
passed away, and there is no longer any sea.
2
And I saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God,
made ready as a bride adorned for her husband.
3
And I heard a loud voice from the throne, saying, Behold, the tabernacle of God
is among men, and He will dwell among them, and they shall be His people, and
God Himself will be among them,
4
and He will wipe away every tear from their eyes; and there will no longer be
any death; there will no longer be any mourning, or crying, or pain; the first things
have passed away.
5
And He who sits on the throne said, Behold, I am making all things new. And
He said, Write, for these words are faithful and true.
6
Then He said to me, It is done. I am the Alpha and the Omega, the beginning
and the end. I will give to the one who thirsts from the spring of the water of life
without cost.
7
He who overcomes will inherit these things, and I will be his God and he will be
My son.
8
But for the cowardly and unbelieving and abominable and murderers and
immoral persons and sorcerers and idolaters and all liars, their part will be in the
lake that burns with fire and brimstone, which is the second death.
