At the midpoint of the Feast of Tabernacles, Jesus went up into the temple and taught, and the truth of God's Word filled the Temple. The Word who became flesh declared the work He was doing for the glory of the Father: His doctrine is not His own but the Father's, and whoever wills to do God's will shall know whether it is from God. John's account of this midweek teaching points to Daniel 9:26-27. Jesus spoke to a people who could no longer remotely keep the law as God gave it through Moses. They sought to kill Him, accused Him of having a demon, and judged by appearance rather than righteous judgment. In the middle of the Feast, the true Word of God filled the Temple with the plan of salvation as the Father had determined it. He told them they would seek Him and not find Him, and that they could not come where He was going. On the last day, He declared how they can come, through the giving of the Holy Spirit to live both the letter and the Spirit of God's law.
