2016 THANKSGIVING

"A REAL BIBLICAL UNDERSTANDING"

 

The Pilgrims' Religion and Thanksgiving

By the spring of 1621, half of the Pilgrims who went to America on the Mayflower had died. But the Indians befriended them and taught them how to fish and grow crops. Consistent with their single-minded BIBLICAL MESSIANIC faith, the Pilgrims gave God the credit for their survival, not themselves.

They celebrated the first Thanksgiving in autumn of 1621. The Pilgrims came to the New World to follow the Scriptures the way that God intended. They new that the Scriptures the Old Testament speaks of a Great fall Feast called Tabernacles “Sukkot”’. So hence the First Thanksgiving is what most true followers of God would call Sukkot. They celebrated it with the Indians for Sukkot is an ingathering of all nations. No one knows the exact date. Among the Pilgrims' guests were 90 Indians and their chief, Massasoit. The feast lasted three days. In a letter about the celebration, Pilgrim Edward Winslow said, "And although it be not always so plentiful as it was at this time with us, yet by the goodness of God, we are so far from want that we often wish you partakers of our plenty."
