"Re: The Lord's Feast Dates - The next Feast to be fulfilled"
http://www.fivedoves.com/letters/july2011/elianeb77.htm
The consideration of Pentecost as the next feast to be fulfilled
presented in the above link is unconvincing and needs to be expanded to
be taken seriously. The reasons behind the conclusion that the Feast of
Trumpets is the next feast to be fulfilled are many and include the "day
that no one knows...", the blowing of trumpets, etc., etc. Must be
addressed and shown to be inappropriate in favor of the Pentecost
proposal.
To simply state the hypothesis of Pentecost as being the next feast
without explaining in detail why each of the reasons that have been put
forth to justify the belief that Trumpets is next, is not to be taken
seriously by any Bible student. The agricultural shadow is interesting,
but is hardly sufficient alone to stand above all of the many reasons
known for Trumpets.
I suggest that the proponents of the Pentecost hypothesis review the
reasons we all know for Trumpets and discuss why Pentecost is the better
interpretations. The existing reasons for Trumpets, each and every one
of them given recently in my messages, must be addressed. To ignore them
is to present a theory or hypothesis that has insubstantial foundations
to compete with the Trumpets belief.
