Jerusalem March report from Israel Today & JERUSALEM-ON-THE-LINE

Christians part of huge Jerusalem March turnout

Thursday, September 26, 2013 |  Israel Today Staff  
Over 60,000 people took part in the annual Jerusalem March held each year during the biblical festival of Sukkot, the Feast of Tabernacles. The turnout was nearly double the 32,000 that participated in the event last year.
Israelis from all over the country ascended to Jerusalem for the march, as did thousands of Evangelical Christians from all over the world.
The Christian delegations are always the most colorful part of the march, which winds through the streets of downtown Jerusalem, ending at the walls of the historic Old City.
Israelis are fascinated by the demonstration of support by the Christians, and announcers along the route of the march always make a point of singling out these foreign visitors both in order to express their thanks and to make fellow Israelis aware of what is happening.
For the Christians, participation in the march is a precursor to the fulfillment of Zechariah 14:16-21, which foretells a time when all those remaining from the nations will be required to "go up to Jerusalem" during Sukkot.

“Rejoice in hope, be patient in tribulation, be constant in prayer.” Rom 12:12
THE END OF A JOYFUL MONTH OF HOLIDAYS: The eight day festival that consists of Succot (Feast of Tabernacles) and Simchat Torah (rejoicing with the Torah) came to a conclusion Thursday night, bringing an end to the month long holiday season and starting the regular year. In Israel, a popular expression is "Acharei Hachagim" - lets' wait till after the holidays - as the entire country seems to put off whatever it can from Rosh Hashanah, (Jewish New Year) until the day after Simchat Torah. Succot marks the last of three yearly pilgrimage festivals to Jerusalem and the Holy Temple - preceded by Pesach and Shavuot. (INN)
