Thank you. The Prophets, with each and every word and meaning analyzed: fascinating, and along with the Oral, sometimes very exciting.
As an example of the feast days, for the day when they are no longer rehearsals and shadows of things to come, but being fulfilled and giving life to this Earth and what they represented and what occurs on them, and this conjecture is obvious to me at least when I read it, just thought I would share,
When I read Revelation Chapters 1 – 7 I see this:
Chapter 1 – Church
Chapter 2 – Church
Chapter 3 – Church
“After these things” (after the church)
Then it turns very much to Israel in the use of Idioms from Chapters 4 until 19 when the Church reappears, but look who she shows up with, in very good company I’ll say,
Chapter 4 - Feast of Trumpets - references to a trumpet, a loud voice like a trumpet, a door being opened,
Chapter 5 - Yom Kippur – the judgment is set, the court is in session, this was the day of Atonement, the books were opened, God has a book in his right hand and who can take it? No one is worthy to take the book, or open it, or even look at whats written inside, its over for the Earth and everything living on it, (but wait) this is a future Jubilee, the time of the restitution of all things, legally it requires it be declared on the 10th day of the seventh month following 49 years.
Chapter 6 – the book is taken and opened, by the only one that is found eligible to do so, our Kinsman Redeemer, our Boaz, the seals are now being opened and events are loosed on the Earth by this legal action, this cannot be turned back or undone, it had been restrained until this moment,
Chapter 7 – Feast of Tabernacles - they wear robes and carry palm branches, and it is one of the three feasts, the others being in the spring, Unleavened Bread, and in Summer, Pentecost, that required any able bodied person to appear in person, also in the millennium the gentiles have to appear in Jerusalem to celebrate it, which is interesting as here they are now in this chapter, everyone is showing up, coming out of tribulation, but events are just getting started on the Earth, you don’t want to be counted with the Earth dwellers after this point,
Have a Blessed Sukkot, jjotto.
And may you be inscribed for a good year ahead.
