Leviticus 23:33-39
So here we have it this day that we're keeping now. The Last Great Day is the eighth day of the Feast of Tabernacles. It is part of the Feast of Tabernacles, yet distinctive and different because he mentions that we keep the Feast of Tabernacles in verse 34 for seven days. And then, the eighth day is "tacked on" it seems at the end. It is the last great hurrah of God's feasts for the year.
Leviticus 23:36-39
Did you see that phrase "unto the LORD" [for] seven days, followed by the Last Great Day? "Unto the LORD" means "in His direction," or "because of Him," or "in recognition of Him," or "in accordance with His will."
