I don't know of "the prophetic purpose", but I will be interested to know if any of these prophecies were fulfilled.
The Feast of Tabernacles, or Feast of Booths, is a harvest festival and was fixed by the completion of the harvest:- Deu 16:13-15 KJV Thou shalt observe the feast of tabernacles seven days, after that thou hast gathered in thy corn and thy wine: [v.14] And thou shalt rejoice in thy feast, thou, and thy son, and thy daughter, and thy manservant, and thy maidservant, and the Levite, the stranger, and the fatherless, and the widow, that are within thy gates. [v.15] Seven days shalt thou keep a solemn feast unto the LORD thy God in the place which the LORD shall choose: because the LORD thy God shall bless thee in all thine increase, and in all the works of thine hands, therefore thou shalt surely rejoice.
This Feast was both commemorative in that it looked back to their recent harvest, but also prophetic in that it is also looking ahead to the greater harvest of souls at the return of Jesus Christ and the end of the Age.
Mat 13:24-31, 35-43 KJV Another parable put he forth unto them, saying, The kingdom of heaven is likened unto a man which sowed good seed in his field: [v.25] But while men slept, his enemy came and sowed tares among the wheat, and went his way. [v.26] But when the blade was sprung up, and brought forth fruit, then appeared the tares also. [v.27] So the servants of the householder came and said unto him, Sir, didst not thou sow good seed in thy field? from whence then hath it tares? [v.28] He said unto them, An enemy hath done this. The servants said unto him, Wilt thou then that we go and gather them up? [v.29] But he said, Nay; lest while ye gather up the tares, ye root up also the wheat with them. [v.30] Let both grow together until the harvest: and in the time of harvest I will say to the reapers, Gather ye together first the tares, and bind them in bundles to burn them: but gather the wheat into my barn. ...[v.36] Then Jesus sent the multitude away, and went into the house: and his disciples came unto him, saying, Declare unto us the parable of the tares of the field. [v.37] He answered and said unto them, He that soweth the good seed is the Son of man; [v.38] The field is the world; the good seed are the children of the kingdom; but the tares are the children of the wicked one; [v.39] The enemy that sowed them is the devil; the harvest is the end of the world; and the reapers are the angels. [v.40] As therefore the tares are gathered and burned in the fire; so shall it be in the end of this world. [v.41] The Son of man shall send forth his angels, and they shall gather out of his kingdom all things that offend, and them which do iniquity; [v.42] And shall cast them into a furnace of fire: there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth. [v.43] Then shall the righteous shine forth as the sun in the kingdom of their Father. Who hath ears to hear, let him hear.
Mar 4:29 But when the fruit is brought forth, immediately he putteth in the sickle, because the harvest is come.

Joh 4:35 Say not ye, There are yet four months, and then cometh harvest? behold, I say unto you, Lift up your eyes, and look on the fields; for they are white already to harvest.
Rev 14:14-20 KJV And I looked, and behold a white cloud, and upon the cloud one sat like unto the Son of man, having on his head a golden crown, and in his hand a sharp sickle. [v. 15] And another angel came out of the temple, crying with a loud voice to him that sat on the cloud, Thrust in thy sickle, and reap: for the time is come for thee to reap; for the harvest of the earth is ripe. [v. 16] And he that sat on the cloud [ie Christ] thrust in his sickle on the earth; and the earth was reaped. [v. 17] And another angel came out of the temple which is in heaven, he also having a sharp sickle. [v. 18] And another angel came out from the altar, which had power over fire; and cried with a loud cry to him that had the sharp sickle, saying, Thrust in thy sharp sickle, and gather the clusters of the vine of the earth; for her grapes are fully ripe. [v. 19] And the angel thrust in his sickle into the earth, and gathered the vine of the earth, and cast it into the great winepress of the wrath of God. [v. 20] And the winepress was trodden without the city, and blood came out of the winepress, even unto the horse bridles, by the space of a thousand and six hundred furlongs.

The "Last Great Day," which is at the end of the Feast of Tabernacles (the eighth day), pictures "Judgment Day."
Answer:
To understand the Feast of Tabernacles, one must understand the time in which the event occurs
Its the last of the feasts proclaimed by our Father in his list of Feasts. You will find them written in Leviticus 23.
Further one must understand that our Fathers calendar is not the same as mans. Our Fathers calendar runs with the events of the sun (Equinox and Solstice), the first beginning with what man calls the Spring equinox. Move foreword from there to get to the 7th month.
The feast of tabernacles occurs after the blowing of the 7th Trumpet (1st day of the 7th month). 7 indicates completeness. Therefore the feast of tabernacles occurs after the return of Jesus Christ (the real one, not the fake), its a celebration of those who overcame the beast.
Read Leviticus 23:40 and Revelation 7:9
