The uniqueness of this feast in Jesus' life is also seen in His baptism when "the heavens were opened unto him (Matthew 3:16)." In his dream, Jacob saw the Lord God standing in heaven at the top of a ladder and speaking (Genesis 28:12,13) just as when Jesus said to His disciples, "Ye shall see heaven open, and the angels of God ascending and descending upon the Son of man (John 1:51)."
Jacob called the place where he was "Beth-el (Genesis 28:19)" which means "God is in this place." Jesus sought to be baptized by John (Matthew 3:13) and had a meeting with God. The divine communication that resulted under the open heaven followed Him thoughout His ministry because "it abode [remained] upon him (John 1:32)." Jesus even spoke of Himself as "the Son of man which is in heaven (John 3:13)."
