  • October 13-20: Sukkot/The Feast of Tabernacles— Then on the most important day of the Feast [of Tabernacles], the last day, Jesus stood and shouted out to the crowds—“All you thirsty ones, come to me! Come to me and drink! Believe in me so that rivers of living water will burst out from within you, flowing from your innermost being, just like the Scripture says!” (Sukkot/The Feast Tabernacles featured a water pouring ritual that may stand in the background of Jesus’ speech.)  John 7:37-38 (TPT)
