While He lived, the Messiah of Israel, Christ the Lord perfectly obeyed and fulfilled the shadow pictures of the 7 Feasts of the Lord per Leviticus 23. They are the following: 1. Sabbath (Shabbat) of the 7th Day, 2. Passover and Days of Unleavened Bread, 3. Feast of First Fruits (Christ's Resurrection Day), 4. Pentecost (Shavuot), 5. Feast of Trumpets (Yom Teruah), 6. Solemn Day of Atonement (Yom Kippur), and 7. Feast of Tabernacles (Succot). He fulfilled Feasts 1-3 to the day, so that some of the House of Israel could clearly see He was their long anticipated Messiah. Some of the House of Israel will need to be convinced of Him in the shadow pictures (a phrase of Paul) in the Feasts 4-7. Feast 4 of Pentecost (Shavuot) began the Age of Ecclesia, see the Book of Acts, on the great Pentecost 10 days after Christ's Ascension. Paul wrote that it is now time for "the bringing in of the fullness of the Gentiles."
 
   Can we disregard Feast number 4 in order to concentrate on the Feast of Trumpets, Feast 5? A number of individuals have noted the Sign of the Son of Man over Jerusalem on 9-23-2017. This will not be on the Feast of Trumpets, but on Tishri 3.
 
   What is especially DISTINCTIVE and SET APART about the number 4 lamp position on the 7 pronged Menorah, patterned after the one in Heaven? In the original divine design, the 4 is CENTER and UPRAISED above all the others. It is ABOVE all the others. The center light represents the servant lamp of the Messiah.
In the Book of Revelation Christ is seen in the assembly in the throne room of Heaven. He is "standing in the midst of the Menorah." CENTERPIECE at lamp number 4. This is before He opens the 7 seals.
 
   If the event of The Blessed Hope will be on a Feast of the Lord, to the day fulfilled, then the next one logically will be 4. Pentecost earlier than 5. Trumpets. According to the Creation Calendar at www.torahcalendar.com, Pentecost will be celebrated for 2 days in Israel in 2017, from sundown on 6-1 to 6-2, and from sundown 6-2 to 6-3. The rest of the world will celebrate it for one day from 6-1 to 2. Might the period from Pentecost until Trumpets be when the Messiah opens many or all of the 7 seals? Once He has opened all 7 seals (judgments) around the Title Deed to Planet Earth, He will possess forever all authority on Planet Earth over everyone, everyplace, and everything. As of now, since the Ascension, His power has been checkmated and retrained since Satan still currently possesses the Title Deed, since the Fall of Adam and Eve. Therefore, Satan has the legal right to be in Heaven and function as adversary to Christ's Advocate. This will change, it must, and it will. The world has been in a Pentecost outreach for 20 centuries  and "the bringing in of the fullness of the Gentiles" is indeed near to conclusion!  Please read Part II.
