Come, Lord Jesus! Rosh Hashanah, Yom Kippur, Feast of Booths

[Theophilus]

I can't help but feel extra anticipation of the return of the Lord Jesus at this time of the year!

Rosh Hashanah - a day of blowing trumpets.

Lev 23:24Speak unto the children of Israel, saying, In the seventh month, in the first day of the month, shall ye have a sabbath, a memorial of blowing of trumpets, an holy convocation.

1 Cor 15:52In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.

1 Thes 4:16For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God:

Yom Kippur - day of atonement

Lev 23:27"On exactly (U)the tenth day of this seventh month is (V)the day of atonement;

In Jewish tradition, Yom Kippur is considered the date on which Moses received the second set of Ten Commandments. It occurred following the completion of the second 40 days of instructions from God.

Feast of Booths

Lev 23:34"Speak to the sons of Israel, saying, 'On (Z)the fifteenth of this seventh month is the (AA)Feast of Booths for seven days to the LORD.

Lev
39'On exactly the fifteenth day of the seventh month, (AG)when you have gathered in the crops of the land, you shall celebrate the feast of the LORD for seven days, with a rest on the first day and a rest on the eighth day.

40'Now on the first day you shall take for yourselves the foliage of beautiful trees, palm branches and boughs of leafy trees and willows of the brook, and you shall rejoice before the LORD your God for seven days.

After Pentecost, there is a period of months, maybe symbolic of a long time, before the completion of the final harvest, or ingathering. This is just an incredible picture of a feast with the LORD and rejoicing in His presence! I also can't help but to think of Rev 22:2 where the leaves of the Tree of Life were for the healing of the nations (to make this connection may be a bit of a stretch, but I can't help it).

Let me know what you think Theophilus...

[Theophilus]

I thought the videos were great. I think people with partial and full preterist positions would appreciate the presentation.

Spiritually, Jesus has fulfilled these events on some level because the dwelling or tabernacle of God is with us through the Holy Spirit. Physically, I don't see the resurrected Christ and people still die. So the ultimate fulfillment still seems open.
