THE  PROPHETICAL  IMPORT    OF   

         The Feasts of Israel

        AS REVEALED IN THE APOCALYPSE

 

        We make reference to the national feasts of Israel

         elsewhere - link to  'the Lord's day' -    8 uplifting

           Visions of Glory which give the future a reality

 

        Here we present  a simple comparison  between the

        Old Testament record  of these feasts  and the New

        Testament record of their prophetical fulfilment….

        the apocalyptic visions above  provide a   connected

        discourse bridging   the time between Sinai and Zion

 24 orders, 1 Chron. 23-25                  ch.4v4,10; 5v8 -  "four and

                                                           twenty elders"

                                    the scene at Sinai prefigures the call to the nations below..                                                                   

                                                the call to Atonement..at Sinai the redeemed 

                                       have been accepted at their consummation (cp below)  

 Numb.10v8 - "the sons  of               ch.14v7 - "Fear God,  and

                      ATONEMENT (CONSUMMATION)

 

            30 hour-years begin, see 'the Lord's day'-6th Vision 

                      "Babylon the great is fallen..in one hour is thy judgment come"-  ch.18v2,10

                    "one hour" - 1/12th Jewish day represents 1/12th "time"- link to 'Bible'- page 2

                       (the city of Rome will be destroyed first, and the whole system of iniquity is

                  completely eradicated from the earth by the end of this 30 year period - ch. 18 & 19)

 v27,28 -  "on  the tenth   day a          ch.18v8 - "Therefore shall her

 day of  atonement for you be-          plagues come in one day"

 fore the LORD your God"

 v27 -  "an  offering  made  by            ch.18v8 -"and she shall be utt-

 fire unto the LORD"                         erly burned with fire"         

 

                                            JUBILEE

 

 ch.25v9 -"the  trumpet of the         Romans 8v21 - "delivered from                    

 jubilee..in  the  day of  atone-         the bondage of corruption into                                

 ment" v10 -"proclaim liberty         the glorious liberty of the child-                   

 it shall be a jubilee unto you"         ren of God"                          

 2 Corinthians 6v17 - "come             ch.18v4 -  "Come out of her, my

 out from among them,and   be           people, that ye be not partakers

 ye separate,     saith the Lord,          of her sins,  and that  ye receive

 and touch not the unclean               not of her plagues"

 thing; and I will receive you"                                  

  the redeemed at Sinai have already obeyed the call to separation during their time of probation (today)

  - brought "out of every nation" (see above) - the call here ch.18v4 is to the earth's inhabitants to leave

  "Babylon the great" ch.18v2 which will have been totally destroyed by the end of 30 years - ch.18,19

  & the jubilee of the redeemed at Sinai prefigures the jubilee for those who heed the call to leave Rome

  - it is possible that "Armageddon" will take place in a Jewish Jubilee year, which becomes a jubilee to

  the nation...this fits in perfectly with the final deliverance of many others, also in a Jewish Jubilee year

 v34 "the feast of tabernacles"        ch.7v9 - "a great multitude,

 v39 "when you have gathered           which no man could number

 in the fruit of the land"                    of all nations, kindreds,people"

 v40 "branches of palm trees"          "palms in their hands"

                                                   the scene at Sinai prefigures the scene below                                                                                               

                                                         "of all nations" compare "all nations"                                                       

 Zechariah 14v16 -  "everyone         ch.15v4 - "all nations shall come

 that is  left of  all  the  nations          and worship before thee"

 ..shall even go up.. to worship

 the King,  the LORD of hosts,

 and to keep the feast of tabernacles"

 

The Feast of Tabernacles, with its 8th day sabbath,  points forward

                to perfection at the end of the Kingdom Age
