  1. John, chapter 7 • NIV John 7:1 After this, Jesus went around in Galilee, purposely staying away from Judea because the Jews there were waiting to take his life.

  2. Jesus’ brothers? • 2 But when the Jewish Feast of Tabernacles was near, 3 Jesus' brothers said to him, "You ought to leave here and go to Judea, so that your disciples may see the miracles you do. 4 No one who wants to become a public figure acts in secret. Since you are doing these things, show yourself to the world."

  3. Brothers? • NIV Mark 6:3 Isn't this the carpenter? Isn't this Mary's son and the brother of James, Joseph, Judas and Simon? Aren't his sisters here with us?" And they took offense at him.

  4. John, chapter 7 • 5 For even his own brothers did not believe in him. 6 Therefore Jesus told them, "The right time for me has not yet come; for you any time is right. • Is there a difference between familiarly and personally knowing someone. • Discuss the story of the Peasant King who wants to be known.

  5. John, chapter 7 • 7 The world cannot hate you, but it hates me because I testify that what it does is evil. 8 You go to the Feast. I am not yet going up to this Feast, because for me the right time has not yet come."

  6. John, chapter 7 • 9 Having said this, he stayed in Galilee. 10 However, after his brothers had left for the Feast, he went also, not publicly, but in secret. 11 Now at the Feast the Jews were watching for him and asking, "Where is that man?“ • JESUS WANTED TO GO. HE DID NOT WANT TO GO FOR TEMPORAL REASONS.

  7. John, chapter 7 • 12 Among the crowds there was widespread whispering about him. Some said, "He is a good man." Others replied, "No, he deceives the people." 13 But no one would say anything publicly about him for fear of the Jews. • Better translation – NO ONE WOULD SPEAK BOLDLY FOR HIM • Pentecost will change that.

  8. The Feast of Tabernacles • The Tabernacles reminded the Israelites of the “crude-ness” and “humility” of their beginnings. • Sukkot (Hebrew: סוכותorסֻכּוֹת, sukkōt ; "booths", also known as Sukkos, Succoth, Feast of Booths or Feast of Tabernacles), is a Biblicalpilgrimagefestival that occurs in autumn on the 15th day of the month of Tishrei (late September to late October). The holiday lasts seven days, including Chol Hamoed. Sukkot is one of the three major holidays known collectively as the Shalosh Regalim (three pilgrim festivals), when the Jews traveled to the Temple in Jerusalem. • The word Sukkot is the plural of the Hebrew word sukkah, meaning booth or hut. The sukkah is reminiscent of the type of thatched huts in which the ancient Israelites dwelt during their 40 years of wandering in the desert after the Exodus from Egypt. Throughout the holiday, meals are eaten in the sukkah, and some families sleep there.

  9. John, chapter 7 • Sukkot is a 7-day holiday, with the first day celebrated as a full festival with special prayer services and holiday meals. The remaining days are known as Chol HaMoed ("festival weekdays"). The seventh day of Sukkot is called Hoshana Rabbah ("Great Hoshana", referring to the increased number of circuits taken by worshippers in the synagogue during morning services; see below) and has a special observance of its own. Outside the land of Israel, the first two days are celebrated as full festivals.

  10. The Sukkot • Prayers during Sukkot include the reading of the Torah every day, saying the Mussaf (additional) service after morning prayers, reading the Hallel, and adding special supplications into the Amidah and grace after meals. • Hallel (Hebrew: הלל‎, "Praise") is a Jewish prayer—a verbatim recitation from Psalms 113-118, which is used for praise and thanksgiving that is recited by observant Jews on Jewish holidays.

  11. Amidah??? • After the Second Temple's destruction in 70 CE, the Council of Jamnia determined that the Amidah would substitute the sacrifices.

  12. Amidah – Jesus fulfills the dwelling of God • Known as Avot ("Ancestors") this prayer offers praise of God as the God of the Biblical patriarchs, "God of Abraham, God of Isaac and God of Jacob." • Known as Gevurot ("powers"), this offers praise of God for His power and might. This prayer includes a mention of God's healing of the sick and resurrection of the dead. It is called also Tehiyyat ha-Metim = "the resurrection of the dead." • Rain is considered as great a manifestation of power as the resurrection of the dead; hence in winter a line recognizing God's bestowal of rain is inserted in this benediction. Except for many Ashkenazim, most communities also insert a line recognizing dew in the summer. • Known as Kedushat ha-Shem ("the sanctification of the Name") this offers praise of God's holiness. • During the chazzan's repetition, a longer version of the blessing called Kedusha is chanted responsively. The Kedusha is further expanded on Shabbat and Festivals. • Known as Binah ("understanding") this is a petition to God to grant wisdom and understanding. • Known as Teshuvah ("return", "repentance") this prayer asks God to help Jews to return to a life based on the Torah, and praises God as a God of repentance. • Known as Selichah, this asks for forgiveness for all sins, and praises God as being a God of forgiveness. • Known as Geulah ("redemption") this praises God as a rescuer of the people Israel. • Known as Refuah ("healing") this is a prayer to heal the sick. • Known as Birkat HaShanim ("blessing for years [of good]"), this prayer asks God to bless the produce of the earth. • Known as Galuyot ("diasporas"), this prayer asks God to allow the ingathering of the Jewish exiles back to the land of Israel. • Known as Birkat HaDin ("Justice") this asks God to restore righteous judges as in the days of old. • Known as Birkat HaMinim ("the sectarians, heretics") this asks God to destroy those in heretical sects, who slander Jews and who act as informers against Jews. • Known as Tzadikim ("righteous") this asks God to have mercy on all who trust in Him, and asks for support for the righteous. • Known as Bo'ne Yerushalayim ("Builder of Jerusalem") asks God to rebuild Jerusalem and to restore the Kingdom of David. • Known as Birkat David ("Blessing of David") Asks God to bring the descendant of King David, who will be the messiah. • Known as Tefillah ("prayer") this asks God to accept our prayers, to have mercy and be compassionate. • Known as Avodah ("service") this asks God to restore the Temple services and sacrificial services. • Known as Hoda'ah ("thanksgiving") this is a prayer of thanksgiving, thanking God for our lives, for our souls, and for God's miracles that are with us every day. The text can be found in the next section. • When the chazzan reaches this blessing during the repetition, the congregation recites a prayer called Modim deRabbanan ("the thanksgiving of the Rabbis"). • Known as Sim Shalom ("Grant Peace"); the last prayer is the one for peace, goodness, blessings, kindness and compassion. Ashkenazim generally say a shorter version of this blessing at Minchah and Maariv, called Shalom Rav.

  13. God’s Dwelling with Man • Eden. • Word. • Tabernacle. • Temple. • Jesus. • Church.

  14. The Sekhakh (booth)                                                              Inside the Sekhakh

  15. John, chapter 7 • NIV John 7:14 Not until halfway through the Feast did Jesus go up to the temple courts and begin to teach. 15 The Jews were amazed and asked, "How did this man get such learning without having studied?"

  16. John, chapter 7 • 16 Jesus answered, "My teaching is not my own. It comes from him who sent me. 17 If anyone chooses to do God's will, he will find out whether my teaching comes from God or whether I speak on my own. 18 He who speaks on his own does so to gain honor for himself, but he who works for the honor of the one who sent him is a man of truth; there is nothing false about him.

  17. John, chapter 7 • Babel vs. faith. • Do we see to establish name for ourselves or honor our Lord?

  18. John, chapter 7 • 19 Has not Moses given you the law? Yet not one of you keeps the law. Why are you trying to kill me?" 20 "You are demon-possessed," the crowd answered. "Who is trying to kill you?" • Wait ‘till v. 25. It was common knowledge that they were plotting to kill Jesus.

  19. John, chapter 7 • 21 Jesus said to them, "I did one miracle, and you are all astonished. 22 Yet, because Moses gave you circumcision (though actually it did not come from Moses, but from the patriarchs), you circumcise a child on the Sabbath.

  20. John, chapter 7 • 23 Now if a child can be circumcised on the Sabbath so that the law of Moses may not be broken, why are you angry with me for healing the whole man on the Sabbath? 24 Stop judging by mere appearances, and make a right judgment.“ • THE SABBATH IS ALL ABOUT RESTORATION AND RECONCILIATION WITH GOD. • The festival reflected this in what it looked forward to (not just remembered). We should journey with the Lord to the Promised Land, instead of a lasting place on this earth.

  21. John, chapter 7 • NIV John 7:25 At that point some of the people of Jerusalem began to ask, "Isn't this the man they are trying to kill? • It was common knowledge that the Pharisees and Saducees were like a mafia???

  22. John, chapter 7 • 26 Here he is, speaking publicly, and they are not saying a word to him. Have the authorities really concluded that he is the Christ? 27 But we know where this man is from; when the Christ comes, no one will know where he is from.“ • SOME JEWS BELIEVED THE MESSIAH WOULD BE LIKE MELCHEZEDEK (NO MENTION OF ORIGINS).

  23. John, chapter 7 • 28 Then Jesus, still teaching in the temple courts, cried out, "Yes, you know me, and you know where I am from. I am not here on my own, but he who sent me is true. You do not know him,

  24. John, chapter 7 • 29 but I know him because I am from him and he sent me." 30 At this they tried to seize him, but no one laid a hand on him, because his time had not yet come. • JESUS SLIPS AWAY. • JESUS’ DEATH IS IN HIS FATHER’S PROVIDENCE, NOT MERE HUMAN CONTROL.

  25. John, chapter 7 • 31 Still, many in the crowd put their faith in him. They said, "When the Christ comes, will he do more miraculous signs than this man?"

  26. John, chapter 7 • 32 The Pharisees heard the crowd whispering such things about him. Then the chief priests and the Pharisees sent temple guards to arrest him. 33 Jesus said, "I am with you for only a short time, and then I go to the one who sent me. 34 You will look for me, but you will not find me; and where I am, you cannot come."

  27. John, chapter 7 • 35 The Jews said to one another, "Where does this man intend to go that we cannot find him? Will he go where our people live scattered among the Greeks, and teach the Greeks? 36 What did he mean when he said, 'You will look for me, but you will not find me,' and 'Where I am, you cannot come'?"

  28. John, chapter 7 • 37 On the last and greatest day of the Feast, Jesus stood and said in a loud voice, "If anyone is thirsty, let him come to me and drink. 38 Whoever believes in me, as the Scripture has said, streams of living water will flow from within him." • WHAT WAS MOSES’ SIN THAT KEPT HIM OUT OF THE PROMISED LAND? • He claimed equality with God in drawing out water for the masses.

  29. John, chapter 7 • 39 By this he meant the Spirit, whom those who believed in him were later to receive. Up to that time the Spirit had not been given, since Jesus had not yet been glorified.

  30. John, chapter 7 • 40 On hearing his words, some of the people said, "Surely this man is the Prophet." 41 Others said, "He is the Christ." Still others asked, "How can the Christ come from Galilee? 42 Does not the Scripture say that the Christ will come from David's family and from Bethlehem, the town where David lived?"

  31. John, chapter 7 • 43 Thus the people were divided because of Jesus. 44 Some wanted to seize him, but no one laid a hand on him.

  32. John, chapter 7 •   According to God’s instructions on the first day of the feast thirteen bullocks were offered and each day that followed on less bullock was offered which meant that seventy were offered. Two things characterized the Feast of Tabernacle from the other feasts. One was the illumination of the Temple and the other the pouring of a vessel of water into a basin that was located at the base of the altar.

  33. John, chapter 7 • First the golden vessel of water was filled at the pool of Sloam and taken to the altar. Next another golden vessel would be filled with wine and they both would be poured together into the basin.

  34. John, chapter 7 • This was a TRADITION (not found in the OT). It was to show God’s abundant mercy not just in supplying for needs (water) but also for one’s enjoyment of life (wine). The mixed water and wine would flow down a conduit which carried the water to the Brook of Kidron located across from the eastern wall.         

  35. Water with Wine • NIV 1 John 5:8 the Spirit, the water and the blood; and the three are in agreement. • NIV John 19:34 Instead, one of the soldiers pierced Jesus' side with a spear, bringing a sudden flow of blood and water. • Jesus supplies us with self to make satisfaction and to bless us with everlasting, messianic joy!

  36. John, chapter 7 • This makes the event of Jesus entering the city in what is called the ‘Triumphant Entry” come alive for us as we under its significance. John records in John 12:13 that as Jesus entered Jerusalem the people. “ Took branches of palm trees, and went forth to meet him, and cried, Hosanna: Blessed is the King of Israel that cometh in the name of the Lord.” They were crying “Save us, Son of David.” Matthew 21:15 records the chief priest and scribes became gravely upset because this greeting and prayer was reserved only for the coming of the Messiah. Mark records that the people also cried “Blessed be the kingdom of our father David, that cometh in the name of the Lord: Hosanna in the highest.” (Mark 11:10).

  37. John, chapter 7 •    Following His entry into Jerusalem Jesus went to the Temple and proclaimed “In the last day, that great day of the feast, Jesus stood and cried, saying, If any man thirst, let him come unto me, and drink. He that believeth on me, as the scripture hath said, out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water.” (John 7:38-39). The words “In the last day” means that this event occurred on the last day of the Feast of Tabernacles.    

  38. John, chapter 7 •    Another feature of the feast is was illumination of the Temple. The pilgrims who came to the Temple would bring lights and torches. Further the golden lamps stands would also be lighted illuminating the Temple. This too prophetically looked forward to the coming of the Messiah. Jesus the Messiah identified Himself as that saving light in John 8:12 saying “ Then spake Jesus again unto them, saying, I am the light of the world: he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life.”

  39. John, chapter 7 •   Paul when he arrived in Antioch in Pisidia (Asia) proclaim this truth to the Jews there saying, “For so hath the Lord commanded us, saying, I have set thee to be a light of the Gentiles, that thou shouldest be for salvation unto the ends of the earth” (Acts 13:47). Paul preached that he was sent to take this light, which was the Gospel of Jesus Christ, unto all the world.

  40. John, chapter 7 • But here’s why what Yeshua said at that moment was not really so strange or “off the wall.” During Sukkot (Feast of Tabernacles) four gigantic golden branching lampstands were stationed in the Court of Women, each lampstand having four golden bowls.

  41. John, chapter 7 • NIV John 7:52 They replied, "Are you from Galilee, too? Look into it, and you will find that a prophet does not come out of Galilee." [The earliest and most reliable manuscripts and other ancient witnesses do not have John 7:53-8:11.] • It’s not “a” prophet. THE Prophet!!!! • Taes Prophaetaes.
