Comparing scriptures and history, it appears that Jesus the Messiah, at his first coming, was born during the fall holy day period. Just as the tabernacles, or tents, represented temporary dwelling places, the Messiah was made manifest in a temporary dwelling (body) as He came to tabernacle among us (John 1:14).
The moral law of God may be defined as ‘the expression of God’s will’ enforced by His power, for His rational beings. Here there is a judgement being made by god. In the Genesis God can be seen as Judge because After Adam and Eve had eaten the forbidden fruit, it says ‘And the Lord God said unto the serpent, Because thou hast done this, thou art cursed … and so on this in my opinion definitely shows God as Judge. Another reason why God is seen as law giver is when God says to Moses "Stretch out your hand over the sea so that the waters may flow back over the Egyptians and their chariots and horsemen." It also shows that God has
Jesus fulfills the symbolism underlying the Feast of Tabernacles” The feast of the tabernacles is known as the fall festival, celebrating the abundance harvest of God’s bountiful blessing (Leviticus 23-24) Walker 2004. Christ fulfilled the symbolism of the great religious feast of the Jews. Passover was one of the three feasts a Jewish man was required to travel to Jerusalem to celebrate (Deuteronomy 16:16).

Passover may have been to provide the background stage and connect the Jesus’s Sermon on the Bread of Life.
The Qur’an came through a series of revelations to Muhammad, from the angel Gabriel when Muhammad was 40 years old, away on one of his common retreats for solidarity in the city of Ramadan. It is believed that while Muhammad was sleep in Ramadan, Gabriel came to him and recited three verses.

His accusers are called “wicked” in the first line while they are known as “workers of evil” in the second. These synonyms reiterate his stance towards those who have sinned who speak peace with unfaithful hearts. The psalmist is saying that people can speak about peace and God but peoples intentions will not always coincide with what is right. The use of synonymous parallelism is used once again in the fourth verse. Both of the lines emphasize repayment, as the deeds of the wicked should receive punishment that is justly deserved.
Book of Luke Outline Luke 1 It is the longest chapter of this book, and I see how so many great happenings God has shown throughout this chapter; the angel Gabriel promising a son for Zacharias and Mary who in fact grows up to be “John the Baptist”. Zacharias, doubting the miracle to happen, is “silenced” by the angel Gabriel until the day it happens. This chapter ends with the birth of John the Baptist Luke 2 Luke 2:1; In those days Caesar Augustus issued a degree that a census should be taken of the entire Roman world. While in Bethlehem, Mary gave birth to Jesus. She laid him in a manger because there was no room at the inn.
