Shalom dear Brothers and Sisters. As the General overseer of the Church of God 7th Day in Kenya, I take this opportunity to send Sukkoth greetings to all affiliated Messianic believers in Kenya, Africa, America and all scattered across the world.

The festivals of the Lord are a blueprint through which Hashem revealed His overall plan of Redemption for both man and the Earth following the fallout at the Gad Eden (Garden of Eden).Messiah was born on Earth to accomplish and fulfill the same work of Redemption. The seven festivals enumerated in the book of Leviticus Chapter 23 all point to the Messiah .The first four are all about His birth and eventual suffering as Lamb of God to save mankind. The other three namely the feast of Trumpets, Atonement day and eventually the feast of Tabernacles are about His Second coming as King of all the Earth. The fulfillment of this is captured in Hosea 6:3 "Then shall we know, if we follow on to know the Lord; His going forth is prepared as the morning; and He shall come unto us as the rain, as the latter and former rain on to the earth" representing the Promise of the Holy Spirit. For Hashem so loved the World that He gave his only begotten son to redeem the world (John 3:16).

The God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob created us to have a personal relationship with Him and to enjoy the abundant life in Him. The Festivals do a lot of good to us physically and spiritually at the present time and also anchor our future redemption when Yahshua is revealed at the second coming.

Brothers and Sisters, I welcome you to enjoy this year Feast of Tabernacles to be celebrated for seven days from 15th day of the seventh month of the biblical calendar (15th - 22nd Tishri 5776) in Jewish calendar or 27th September to 5th October 2015.

May Hashem bless you and keep you all!

Hezekiah Kuriah Karanja (General Overseer)
