During the holiday of Sukkot (Feast of tabernacles) some Jews recite the ushpizin prayer,
which symbolises the welcoming of seven “exalted guests” into the sukkah.
We are in the 8TH MONTH called “CHESHVAN” on God’s calendar: Started on 2nd November & Ends on 1st DECEMBER 2024
These ushpizin (Aramaic אושפיזין ‘guests’), represent the seven shepherds of Israel:
The 7 shepherds that visits God’s people on the feast of Tabernacles:
1: Abraham, 2: Isaac, 3: Jacob, 4: Moses, 5: Aaron, 6: Joseph and 7: King David.
According to tradition, each night a different guest enters the sukkah followed by the other six.
Each of the ushpizin has a unique lesson which teaches the parallels of the spiritual focus of the day on which they visit.
The female guests: – Spiritual midwives –
A new tradition has arisen among some Jews to invite seven female counterparts to the above shepherds.
A number of different lists exist which may include any of the following:

The feast becomes a time frame of harvesting, reaping or receiving spiritual energies that comes with the banner of love,
the cloud of covering, and physical blessings from the God of Israel.
The restoration of the 7 covenants took place prophetically in the year 2013:
Sukkot celebrated in the year 2013 has marked the season of harvesting the blessings attached to the 7 (seven) covenants,
that the Hebrew God ever made with man beginning from Adam.
Jude 1:14
Now Enoch, the seventh from Adam, prophesied…
Below are the SEVEN COVENANTS that God ever made with man starting from Adam (garden in Eden):
1: THE EDENIC COVENANT

3: THE NOAHADIC COVENANT
4: THE ABRAHAMIC COVENANT
5: THE MOSAIC COVENANT
6: THE DAVIDIC COVENANT
