Sukkot and Paul: Did Tabernacles Shape His Mission to the Nations?

Send us a text

Why are so many Christians celebrating the Feast of Tabernacles? And what does this ancient Jewish festival have to do with the Apostle Paul?

In this episode of Journey with the Jewish Paul, Ryan Lambert explores the surprising connection between Sukkot and Paul’s mission to the Gentiles. Drawing on Zechariah’s vision of the nations streaming to Jerusalem to worship the God of Israel, Ryan reveals how Paul saw his calling as part of that same prophetic hope, the great “ingathering of the nations.”

Discover how Paul’s Jewish faith and observance of the biblical festivals shaped his understanding of the Gospel, and why Sukkot remains such a powerful picture of unity, joy, and shared faithfulness among Jews and Christians today.
