Every year, Christians from all over the world flood the streets of Jerusalem at Sukkot in a beautiful expression of their love for Israel.

Many Christians are inspired by biblical prophecy. According to Zechariah, there will come a time when people from all nations “will go up year after year to worship the King, the LORD Almighty, and to celebrate the Feast of Tabernacles” (Zechariah 14:16 NIV). But what is the Feast of Tabernacles?

The Feast of Tabernacles (Sukkot), also sometimes called the Feast of Booths in some translations, is one of the biblical holidays described in Leviticus 23. On the seventh day of the festival, called Hoshana Rabbah, there are prayers for rain. In ancient times, these prayers accompanied a ceremony in which water from the Pool of Siloam was poured on the Temple altar.

In the Gospel of John, Jesus taught in the Temple during Sukkot (John 7:2-14). It was on this seventh day, Hoshana Rabbah, when he said, “If anyone thirsts, let him come to me and drink. Whoever believes in me, as the Scripture has said, ‘Out of his heart will flow rivers of living water’” (John 7:37-38 ESV).
