Definition
The Feast of Tabernacles (Hebrew: סֻכּוֹת, Sukkot; also: “Feast of Ingathering”) is the third and final of the three great pilgrimage feasts of Israel (Lev. 23:33-43; Deut. 16:13-17), celebrated from the 15th to the 22nd of Tishri (autumn), seven days with a sacred assembly on the eighth day (Shemini Atzeret). In the typological eschatology defended by Jones and Warnock, the Feast of Tabernacles represents the third and final phase of God’s redemptive plan — the eschatological consummation of what Passover (redemption) and Pentecost (outpouring of the Spirit) began.

George Warnock
Warnock’s entire eschatology pivots on the Feast of Tabernacles as its key symbol. The first two feasts are already fulfilled: “Two of the three annual Feasts of Israel’s worship have already been fulfilled in Christ and His Church… we are now on the verge of the fulfillment of the last annual Feast of the Lord.” The Feast of Tabernacles is the “Feast of Ingathering” — the great end-time harvest of souls — and the Sabbath of all Sabbaths: “Just as the weekly sabbath was the end of Israel’s week of toil and labor — so the Feast of Tabernacles is the end of the Church’s week of strife and turmoil: the Feast of all Feasts, the Sabbath of all Sabbaths. ‘There remaineth therefore a rest (A Sabbath) to the people of God’ (Heb. 4:9).” The eighth day points to a new beginning after the eschatological rest period. [Warnock, The Feast of Tabernacles, Ch. 1 and 11]
Stephen Jones
Jones connects the Feast of Tabernacles to Noah’s three doves as eschatological symbol: “Finally, the Feast of Tabernacles correlates with Noah’s third dove. It is the last anointing, for it represents the fullness of the Spirit poured out, wherein we see the redemption of the body (Rom. 8:23). At this outpouring, you receive the true inheritance that was lost in Adam: the glorified body.” The Tabernacles Age lasts a thousand years — the Sabbath Millennium. It is also the birthtime of the Manchild (the manifest sons of God): “The earth is now lawfully eligible to be impregnated a third time — and this time the earth will bring forth the Manchild, the corporate body of the Sons of God who are spiritually perfected.” [Jones, Secrets of Time, Ch. 3, 11, 15]
