In ancient times, Gentiles were invited to ascend to Jerusalem with the Jewish people at the Feast of Tabernacles to worship the Lord and to keep this joyous festival. Feast pilgrims brought special offerings at Sukkot in gratitude for God’s provision, and they even were commanded not to show up “empty-handed” (Deuteronomy 16:16).
In modern times, the ICEJ has responded to the prophetic vision of Zechariah 14:16 that the nations would once again ascend to Jerusalem to “keep the Feast of Tabernacles”. Many of our Feast pilgrims arrive with offerings in hand, and they are greatly blessed as a result.
If you cannot attend the Feast in person this year, you can still ‘appear in Zion’ by giving a Feast offering online. Your Feast offering expresses thanks to God for His faithfulness over your life, and also will support the work of the Christian Embassy here in Jerusalem.
