Hi John and Dove,I am wondering and questioning why Feast days would only be fulfilled once, I cannot see this in the Bible as being so.With the Spring Feast days, I see a story, a story that continues with Jesus, the Holy Sprit and Pentacost. I see the story including Ruth and Boaz, it seems to be a different story than the Fall Feasts.I know if you are all like me, you are reading this and saying "Well"???? tell us the story.Just a brief view that someone may want to expand on.Spring FeastsOld Testatment................................................New TestamentExodus from Egypt...........................................SalvationCrossing the Red Sea.......................................BaptismMoses, Mt Sinai, Commandments........................Branches of the Vine, Holy Spirit, Pentacost (Beginning of Church Age)I see the above story being one of Salvation and Grace. To me it would be the most obvious time for the RaptureMatt 24:31 KJV And he shall send his angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the otherMatt 24:32 KJV Now learn a parable of the fig tree; When his branch is yet tender, and putteth forth leaves, ye know that summer is nigh:Summer???????? - My studies have led me to believe that Pentacost is Tammuz 29 Summer - see Leviticus 2315And ye shall count unto you from the morrow after the sabbath, from the day that ye brought the sheaf of the wave offering; seven sabbaths shall be complete:16Even unto the morrow after the seventh sabbath shall ye number fifty days; and ye shall offer a new meat offering unto the LORD.17Ye shall bring out of your habitations two wave loaves of two tenth deals; they shall be of fine flour; they shall be baken with leaven; they are the firstfruits unto the LORD.
To me verse 17 looks like the two loaves could be referring to two groups - the living and the dead in Christ raised????
Fall FeastsDays of AweRosh Hashanah Commenortes creation of the world and day of JudgementYom Kippur - day of AtonementTabernalces - Israel in the desert for 40 years - is this a shadow of the Jews being protected for 40? months during the Tribulation???I see the above as being days of dryness, horror and Judgement at the beginning of all things new.Comments very WelcomedBlessings,Patricia S.
