SUKKOT: Yeshua and the Festival of Lights<\/strong>
by<\/strong>
James Scott Trimm<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n


Yeshua said:

I am the light of the world.<\/em>
He who follows me will not walk in darkness,<\/em>
but will find for himself the light of life.<\/em>
(John 8:12 HRV)<\/em>

The occasion was Sukkot (see Jn. 7:1). Sukkot was known as the \u201cFestival of Light\u201d. The entire city of Jerusalem was filled with light from giant 75 feet (50 cubit) tall menorahs. (m.Sukkah 5:2\u20134; b.Sukkah 52b).<\/p>\n\n\n\n


At the conclusion of the first festival day of Tabernacles they descended to the Court of the Women where they had made a great enactment. There were there golden candlesticks with four golden bowls on the top of each of them and four ladders to each, and four youths drawn from the priestly stock in whose hands were held jars of oil containing one hundred and twenty log which they poured into the bowls. From the worn-out drawers and girdles of the priests they made wicks and with them they kindled the lamps; and there was not a courtyard in Jerusalem that was not illumined by the light of the place of the water-drawing.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

(m. Sukkot 5:2\u20133)<\/em>

FOUR LADDERS etc. A Tanna taught, the height of a candlestick was fifty cubits.<\/em>
(b.Sukkot 52b)<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n


It was for this reason that Sukkot was the original festival of lights.  Channukah became a festival of lights partly because the first Channukah was a belated Sukkot celebration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n


With this backdrop Yeshua makes this beautiful proclamation.

Yeshua\u2019s statement here may be aimed as Essenes because it draws from the language of certain of the Dead Sea Scrolls which read:

\u2026Thus will grow and understand and be glad<\/em>
in the light of the world; you will not be a disowned vessel\u2026<\/em>
(The Words of Levi 4Q541; Frag. 24 line 7)<\/em>

For only through the spirit pervading God\u2019s true society<\/em>
can there be atonement for a man\u2019s ways, all of his iniquities;<\/em>
thus only can he gaze upon the light of life and be joined<\/em>
to His truth by His holy spirit, purified through all iniquity. \u2026<\/em>

He created humankind to rule over the world,<\/em>
appointing for them two spirits in which to walk<\/em>
until the time ordained for His visitation.<\/em>
these are the spirits of truth and falsehood.<\/em>
Upright character and fate originate with the<\/em>
Habitation of Light; perverse, with the Fountain of Darkness.<\/em>
The authority of the Prince of Light<\/em>
extends to the governance of all righteous people;<\/em>
therefore, they walk in paths of light.<\/em>
Correspondingly the authority of the Angel of Darkness<\/em>
embraces the governance of all wicked people,<\/em>
so they walk in the paths of darkness.<\/em>
(Manual of Discipline 1QS col. 3, 6-7; 17-21)<\/em>

This is a reference to Isaiah 8:20-9:2:

To the Torah and to the testimony;<\/em>
if they speak not according to this word,<\/em>
it is because there is no light in them\u2026<\/em>

\u2026the people who walked in darkness have<\/em>
seen a great light\u2026<\/em>

For a deeper understanding of this passage in relation to Yeshua see comments to Matthew 4:14-16. For more comments on \u201clight\u201d see comments to Jn. 1:4

There is a spiritual battle taking place between light and darkness. Paul writes:

…what communion has light with darkness?<\/em>
And what concord has Messiah with Belial…<\/em>
(2Cor. 6:14b-15a)<\/em>

Throughout the New Testament there are extended metaphores revolving around light and darkness. Believers are called “sons of light” (Lk. 16:8; Jn. 12:36; Eph. 5:8; 1Thes. 5:5 see comments to Jn. 12:36). The full armor of Elohim is also called the “armor of light” (Rom. 13:12). The New Testament speaks of those “who walk in darkness” (Jn. 8:12; 12:35; 1Jn. 1:6; 2:11).

But what does this idiomatic use of the terms light and darkness mean? For the answer let us turn to the Tanak:

For the commandment is a lamp;<\/em>
and the Torah is light…<\/em>
(Prov. 6:23)<\/em>

Your word is a lamp to my feet,<\/em>
and a light to my path.<\/em>
(Psalm 119:105)<\/em>

To the Torah and to the testimony;<\/em>
if they speak not according to this word,<\/em>
it is because there is no light in them.<\/em>
(Isaiah 8:20)<\/em>

…for a Torah shall proceed from me,<\/em>
and I will make my judgment to rest<\/em>
for a light of the people.<\/em>
(Isaiah 51:4)<\/em>

So according to the Tanak the Torah is a light for our paths. Those that walk in the Torah walk in the light. This is why the New Testament speaks of those who walk in darkness (Jn. 8:12; 12:35; 1Jn. 1:6; 2:11). These are those who do not walk by the light of Torah. Of these John writes:

And if we say that we have fellowship with him,<\/em>
and walk in darkness,<\/em>
we are liars and we do not walk in truth.<\/em>
(1Jn. 1:6)<\/em>

Notice that John equates “walking in truth” with walking in the light. As we noted previously “the Torah is truth” (Ps. 119:142) thus if “walking in the light” means “walking in truth” then both phrases refer to walking in the Torah. This takes us back to our passages from the Tanak given above. John also confirms this by writing the parallel statements:

…walking in truth.<\/em>
…walk according to his commandments.<\/em>
(2Jn. 1:4, 6)<\/em>

As we have noted Paul also calls the armor of Elohim the “armor of light” (Rom. 13:12). According to Paul we are involved in a spiritual battle with “the rulers of the darkness of this world.” (Eph. 6:12) and thus he instructs us to put on this “armor of light” (see comments to Eph. 6:13 & Rom. 13:12)<\/p>\n\n\n
