“SPEAK TO THE CHILDREN OF ISRAEL, AND SAY TO THEM:
THE FEASTS OF THE LORD, WHICH YOU SHALL PROCLAIM TO BE HOLY CONVOCATIONS, THESE ARE MY FEASTS……
THESE ARE THE FEASTS OF THE LORD, HOLY CONVOCATIONS WHICH YOU SHALL PROCLAIM AT THEIR APPOINTED TIMES…”
Lev. 23 excerpts
If the first four Feasts of the Lord were can we not with great certainty expect the last three
fulfilled by Christ at their appointed times, Feasts to also be fulfilled at their appointed times?

Titus 2:11-13
IN THIS PRESENT AGE,
‘NOW THIS IS THE MAIN POINT OF THE THINGS WE ARE SAYING…” Heb. 8:1
We now come to the strength, the absolute certainty, the very purpose for God hiding, in the Levitical
Law of the feasts, a foreshadowing of the past, present, and future work of Christ on earth. We can
look to the first three feasts depicting the message of the Gospels-salvation brought to all men by the
appearing of the Grace of God. Jesus fulfilled this mission on the very days appointed in Leviticus 23.
We can see that when Christ ascended, He sent forth the Holy Spirit to birth and empower His church
on earth. When did He do so? The Scriptures are clear, “When the Day of Pentecost had fully come…”
(Acts 2:1-4). Three remaining great events are prophesied throughout the Scriptures. Those three events
are (1) The Rapture, (2) The Second Coming of Christ, and (3) the Millennial Reign of Christ on earth.
These are commonly held beliefs by most of Protestant Christianity. However, applying those beliefs to
the type and shadow found in the Feasts of the Lord in Leviticus 23 are NOT so common! In fact, I
would sadly say it is rather most uncommon. Although these three beliefs are quite common, tying
them to the feasts is not the norm. Rather, as a result of not paying any attention to the type and
shadow of the feasts, what we now have is an undefined time-frame for events such as the rapture with
the miss-applied cliché, “No man knows the day nor the hour” (Matt.24:36). However, in light of the
feasts, we do know the appointed day of the rapture! It is the first day of the seventh month of the
Lunar Calendar! What we don’t know is the specific year. The date of the Rapture is just as certain as
were the appointed days of the first four feasts of the Lord that are now historical facts! Because the
first four feasts were fulfilled on the appointed cycle in Leviticus 23, we can be sure that the remaining
three great prophetic events yet to be fulfilled by Christ will also take place on their appointed days!
