From A Christian Love Story :: This is major !
Thus the Lord performed exactly in accordance with the first four feasts of Israel. He will do the same in the future, it is clear. We expect the Rapture of the Church on the fifth feast, the Feast of Trumpets (I Thess. 4: 16-17). We expect the return of the Lord to the earth for the start of the Kingdom on the Day of Atonement, when “all Israel will be saved” (Zech. 12:10, 13:1; Romans 11:26). And finally, the Lord will setup His Tabernacle in Jerusalem appropriately enough on the final feast, the Feast of Tabernacles. The tabernacles hark back to the shelters the Lord gave the children of Israel in the wilderness, and indeed the Lord’s Tabernacle will shelter us on this earth for the duration of the Kingdom. These final three feasts are explained in Leviticus 23:24, 27 and 34, respectively. Next “Paragraph” re-structured/edited by me: We say all of that above to show that the Lord, Who never omitted a Jewish feast, fulfilled each one even in:
- His crucifixion = The symbol of Passover is the sacrifice of the lamb, and Jesus fulfilled it on the cross
- Jesus Burial = The symbol of Unleavened Bread is the body of the Lord buried in the earth
- His resurrection = First Fruits, which we now call “Easter”, came on Sunday (Lev. 23: 10-12), and indeed the Lord rose as the first fruits of those to be resurrected (I Cor. 15:22-23)
- His sending of the Holy Spirit = The fourth feast is Pentecost, 50 days later (Lev. 23:15-16), and the Lord sent the Holy Spirit – in a great harvest Three thousand people were saved that day
- The Rapture ! His return at the sound of the trumpet = We expect the Rapture of the Church on the fifth feast, the Feast of Trumpets (I Thess. 4: 16-17) (Rosh Hashana)
- His second coming on the day when Israel atones = We expect the return of the Lord to the earth for the start of the Kingdom on The Day of Atonement, when “all Israel will be saved” (Zech. 12:10, 13:1; Romans 11:26)
- And His establishment of His Kingdom on Tabernacles = And finally, the Lord will setup His Tabernacle in Jerusalem appropriately enough on the final feast, the Feast of Tabernacles.
