Sure looks like Jesus, Himself has
fulfilled, will fulfill all of the Lord's Feasts. I am
referring to Jesus directly.
For example, I believe that Jesus fulfilled the Feast of
Weeks/Shavuot with His ascension.
I believe that the true Acts Pentecost is on Feast of New
Wine - this is when the Holy Spirit arrived some 50 days
after Jesus ascended.
The arrival of the Holy Spirit, imo, is not "Jesus
Himself" fulfilling that feast day. I believe that
Jesus will fulfill Feast of New Wine with His appearing in
the clouds for His Believers - the Rapture.
And, I believe, that the Acts Pentecost - the day the
Church was 'created' - will be the day - at least, a very
good possibility - that the Church will be removed.
And that these are one and the same day. Feast of
New Wine = Acts Pentecost
Double very good reasons for this day to be a very high
watch day for the Rapture.
Also, I had believed that 'new wine' - was not fermented
yet - no, that is not correct - it's wine from the new
harvest of the year. And it IS
fermented. I explain below about Peter's comment about
the people not being drunk because 'it's but the third hour
or 9 AM' below...
The Feasts of the Lord:
There are several feasts of the Lord given in Leviticus
and Numbers. But there are also feasts given in the
Temple Scroll of the Dead Sea Scrolls.
Not all of the feasts are mentioned in the Gospels or the
Old Testament - not all of the feasts are listed in
Leviticus or Numbers. Yet, we are told that these
feasts are for generation to generation and they require
offerings to the Lord - new grain, or new wine, or new oil -
they are to do no work, etc. etc. - that makes them very
important to the Lord and the people. We were told
these are 'appointed' days of prophetic significance.
In other words, something BIG will happen on each one of
these days.
I believe, Jesus has done or will do something BIG on
each one of these days - just like He did on Passover,
Unleavened Bread and Firstfruits. I put Him IN each
Feast Day.
I'm not going to write here about all of the Feast days -
just the first few:
Feast of Passover - Jesus was the last
lamb slain for Passover ending the sacrifices.
Messianic Significance: "Jesus' death as the lamb of
God that takes away the sin of the world".
Feast of Unleavened Bread - Jesus'
sinless (unleavened) broken body laid in the tomb; at the
Last Supper, Jesus broke the bread and said "take and eat;
this is my body." Matthew 26:26 Messianic
Significance: "Jesus sinless life and his burial."
Feast of Firstfruits - Jesus was the
firstfruits to rise from the dead. Paul said that
Christ is the firstfuits to be resurrected. 1
Corinthians 15:23 Messianic Significance:
"Jesus' resurrection from the dead as the firstfruits of the
New Creation."
Feast of Weeks/Shavuot/Jewish Pentecost (not Acts
Pentecost) - ascended to be with His Father in
Heaven; Messianic Significance: Jesus ascends up
into Heaven to sit on the right hand of God to rule the
world from His throne.
Feast of New Wine or Acts Pentecost -
Jesus will appear in the cloud for His Believers to take
them to the place He has prepared for them. Messianic
Significance: "The coming of the Holy Spirit to
indwell in believers." AND Jesus returns in the clouds
as promised for His people then He will drink the new wine
with them.
Feast of New Oil - some info below -
but more on this later. The Temple Scroll of the Dead
Sea Scrolls tells us the Oil Festival is on 22 Ellul.
In the Old Testament, we are told how the Lord provides
the new grain, the new wine, and the new oil;
the people are to bring the offerings to the priests who
present these to the Lord in the Temple:
In Ezekiel 45:17 "..it shall be the prince's part
to give burnt offerings, and meat offerings and drink
offerings, in the feasts, and in the new moons and in the
sabbaths...." And in Deuteronomy 18:4: "You
shall give Him the first fruits of your grain, your
new wine, and your oil, and the first shearing of
your sheep." "For the sons of Israel and the sons of
Levi shall bring the contribution of the grain, the new wine
and the oil to the chambers; there are the utensils of the
sanctuary, the priests who are ministering, the gatekeepers
and the singers. Thus we will not neglect the House of
our God." Nehemiah 10:39
Feast of New Wine:
In the Temple Scroll of the Dead Sea Scrolls the people
were given instructions for counting to the Feast
of New Wine - that follows the instructions for
counting to Shavuot: column 19, lines 11 - 15: "You
shall count beginning from the day when you bring the new
grain offering to the Lord - the bread of the first fruits -
seven weeks, seven full weeks, until the day after the
seventh Sabbath. You are to count fifty days,
then bring new wine as a drink offering:
four hin from all the tribes of Israel, one-third of a hin
from each tribe."
Also, in the Temple Scroll, column 21, lines 8 -
10: So the children of Israel are to rejoice before
the Lord, this being an eternal statue, generation after
generation, wherever they may dwell. They shall
rejoice this day, for they have begun to pour out a
fermented drink offering, new wine, upon the alter of the
Lord, and annual rite."
"Notice that "new wine" does not refer to unfermented
grape juice as is often taught (I believed this
initially.) The new wine is fermented, as seen in this
description of pouring out the drink offering
(fermented). It is called "new wine" simply because is
comes from a new harvest of grapes. Wine from the new
harvest was not to be consumed before the first fruits
offering was made. Until that time, the people drank
from the older wine. After the Feast of New Wine and
the offering, they were permitted to drink from the new
batch."
"So the Temple Scroll outlines a series of Feasts spaced
equally throughout the Spring and Summer."
"The First Fruits of Barley, the Wave Sheaf, is on the
first day of the week following the Feast of Unleavened
Bread."
"The exactly seven weeks later, counting first days
inclusive of the first day and ending on the first day of
the week, is the First Fruits of Wheat, the Feast of Weeks
or Shavuot (Pentecost)."
"Exactly seven weeks later, counting fifty days inclusive
of the first day and ending on the first day of the week, is
the First Fruits of New Wine."
"And exactly seven weeks after that, counting fifty days
inclusive of the first day and ending on the first day of
the week, is the First Fruits of New Oil."
"There is no evidence that Yeshua observed the Feast of
New Wine or the Feast of New Oil. There is also no
evidence anywhere in the Gospels that he observed the wave
sheaf of the barley harvest, or Shavuot, or Yom Teurah, or
Yom Kippur. But does anyone truly doubt that He kept
those Feasts? Silence does not indicate that it did
not happen."
After
Shavuot: Wine and Oil - The Messianic Light
With all of that - then when is the Feast of New
Wine? That's next on the list of feast days.

And here's his video looking at Shavuot vs
Pentecost: He believes that the Feast of New Wine is
the True Pentecost (Acts Pentecost) and it happens on the
8th of Av turning into the 9th of Av." "What a great
day for the Rapture" - At twilight - at the twinkling of an
eye - as it turns into the 9th of Av for Israel (we know
what disasters befell the Jewish people on the 9th of Av
through out history.) . August 12, 13, 14 depending on
where you are in the world - He believes August 13 is
the 9th of Av. Highest possibility of the
Rapture. This is when the Church was born. It's
all about the wine - drinking of the wine seals the
marriage.
The new wine offering occurred at 9AM on Feast of New
Wine (that's the third hour of the day that Peter talked
about) - only after the offering was made to the Lord by the
High Priest could the people consume the wine from the new
harvest.
He said there is some debate as to the date of of Feast
of New Wine:
Some say it's the first day of fifth month - 1 Av.
He said counting 50 straight days from Shavuot takes us
to about the 4th of Av.
His method of counting takes us to the 8th of Av.
That evening turning into the 9th of Av.

Other Calendars:
The Temple Scroll of the Dead Sea Scrolls tells us that
the New Wine Festival is on 3 Av. Not far off from Dr.
Awe's date. But which calendar/count is correct?
On the Essene calendar, First fruits of New Wine is July
21 - 3 Av.
Essene
Calendar
I believe that the new moon sighting starts the new
month..and the counting of the days, and the counting to the
Sabbaths and the counting to the Feast Days.
I've written about the calendars before.
Pray for the peace of Jerusalem!
Maranatha!
