The purpose of this study is to examine the Notion, that the 2nd Coming of Jesus is based on the Prophetic Typology of the 7 Feasts of YHVH. And if so, does that provide Clues as to when the Rapture is to occur? The main Discrepancy or Objection about the 7-Feast Prophetic Typology is, whether they have been fulfilled entirely already or are they being fulfilled, literally in a Time Sequence. This is to suggest that the Fall Feasts are yet to be fulfilled, Prophetically by Jesus. This is the prevailing Assumption. One was challenged to consider how the 7-Feasts are already fulfilled.
Thus, Jesus is not ‘Bound’ to have to return on any of the Fall Feasts. Fair Point. The Argument thus suggests that Jesus’ 2nd Coming will rather occur on a Nisan 10. This strongly suggests that Jesus’ Return will replicate the Triumphal Entry Scenario. Perhaps. But that occurred even prior to the start of the 7-Feast Pattern. The Question is thus, is this Timing rather a more accurate depiction than on a Yom Teruah, or Feast of Trumpets? It is always good to vet People’s Assertions and challenge the Logic.
One thinks that it needs more in the Body of Christ, especially in these Last Days. It is also about ‘Iron Sharpening Iron’. But as one often has prefaced, the Research or Theories proposed are just one’s Understanding, up to the Point in Time. And as Theories go, they can only be ‘Tested’ when the Time, anticipated or calculated expires to know if it was True or Correct. As to the Prophetic Typology of the 7 Feasts of YHVH and how Jesus did or is still to fulfill them? It depends on one’s Reference Point. One will elaborate on this Position further down in the study.
One would agree that the Feasts are all fulfilled in Jesus, Prophetically. But in Time, Space and Matter, where Humanity resides and has its Point of Reference, it is seen and experienced in a Progressive Endeavor, in one’s Estimation. As to Prophecy? It has been rightly understood that it has Dimensions and is multi-Layered. Thus, there is really no issue in one’s Mind. The 7-Feasts have been fulfilled by Jesus. A Feast is presently being fulfilled. And in the Future, they will be as well.
It is the same Spiritual Principle of how the Bible teaches that the Followers and Believers of Jesus are already ‘Seated with Christ Jesus in Heavenly Places’. How can that be if Humans are still bound to Earth in the Unredeemed Flesh? Well, thanks to the New Understanding of Quantum Physics, it is about being what they call ‘Entangled’. That is to say that if 2 Particles or ‘Things’ become entangled, one can take the 2 Particles and position them at the opposite Ends of the Known Universe. What happens to 1 Particle will happen precisely to the other Particle.
Quantum Entanglement
The ‘Effects’ occur regardless of Time, Space and Matter existing or interfering in all that is in-between them, etc. This goes for Speed, Motion, Direction, Vibration, etc. And? A Redeemed Human on Earth, in Jesus is now ‘Entangled’ with Jesus who is seated in Heaven. This is done through the Holy Spirit given as a ‘Down-Payment’ of what is to come. This is the Quantum Entanglement. So, if one now Prays, Hurts, Weeps, Worships, and the like now on Earth, being ‘Entangled’ with Jesus, He is affected by it. Jesus senses all of it and knows precisely about it. The ‘Current’ goes both ways.
This is how a Redeemed in Jesus can be now Seated in Heavenly Places, there, yet still be here on Earth. It is Incredible. So, this is why one can say that the 7-Feasts of YHVH have been fulfilled and are being fulfilled, etc. In part, why most Christians assume that Jesus fulfilled the Spring Feasts, in ‘Real Time’ and sequentially, is that it is ‘Self Evident’ that He did. It is an Assumption based on evidently being so, historically. Sure, nowhere in the Bible will one read, ‘And Jesus fulfilled the Spring Feast’.
But that is the same Fallacy as arguing that the Word ‘Trinity’ is not in the Bible. Or as with many LGBT Students on Campuses that likewise argue, ‘Where did Jesus say that Homosexuality is a Sin?’ Well, technically Jesus did not, but presumably He did in describing Marriage. It would be how Humans could deduce then the Logic that any deviation from what is defined as Marriage would be understood. It would not be condoned as it is not what the Natural Order of the Design is, etc.
Now, it is argued that the ‘New’ Teaching about Jesus Prophetically fulfilling the 7-Feast of YHVH Typology only surfaced in the 1970’s. Well, it is because that is when the Body of Christ started to see End Times Prophecy come into focus or on the Radar. It really all started with the Rebirth of the Modern Nation of Israel. That is if one accepts that it is the fulfillment of Ezekiel’s Dry Bone Depiction. Such would also argue that the Rapture Theory only came about in the late 1800’s by Darby and some Woman with a Vision.
But, again, that is when such started to consider the End Times Conditions. Perhaps the Early Fathers did believe that Jesus would come in the Spring. That is logical and still is. But they like we are all, at best, only able to do so with a ‘Sanctified Imagination’ and Calculation. Just because they believed it back then, does not mean it is ‘Truth’. It goes the same with one’s New Understanding of the Acts 2 New Wine Pentecost being the 2nd ‘Shavuot’ or 50 Day Feast of 3. Of which, it is now verified by the Temple Scrolls that there were in fact, 3 Penta-Feasts of the New Fruit; Wheat, Wine and Oil.
Yet, about 95% of the Professing Church is adamant that there is 1 Pentecost, and that is Easter, or what is called ‘Shavuot’ by the Jews, etc. And to even suggest an alternative Interpretation and Calculation is essentially ‘Anathema’. So, as to the Multi-Layer of a Historical, 1st Century and Future Fulfillment Pattern? Absolutely. However, when stated, ‘The Bible is clear that all of the biblical feasts relate to the Second Coming of the Messiah, though in different ways’. That Assertion? One is not so sure. Sorry, one does not see that the Bible is ‘Clear’ about it. In a General Sense, ‘Yes’.
Triumphal Entry
It is argued that the Passover will have a Future and ultimate fulfilment in the Kingdom. True. But one’s Point would then be that such are using the very Argument most Students of the Bible utilize to surmise that the Future Fall Feasts are yet to be fulfilled, literally by Jesus at His 2nd Coming.
Yom Teruah – 2nd Coming with Trump blasts of War.
Yom Kippur – Coronation of the King and Proclamation of the Year of Release.
Sukkot - Jesus, or GOD in the Flesh finally ‘Tabernacle’ with His People on Earth.
It was also argued, ‘In other words, Jesus and Paul taught that all of the feasts are connected to the end times, the Second Coming, and the events that will unfold in the kingdom of God’. Yes, the 2nd Coming of Jesus will no longer have the Fall Feast be a mere ‘Rehearsal’ but the literal fulfilment. And then realize that the Feasts will still be observed, even during the Millennial Kingdom as a Memorial.
So, just by this Assertion alone, one would say that there is a Measure of a Prophetic Continuum even after Jesus’ 2nd Coming. One’s Point is this. In the acknowledgment that there is a Passover ‘Connection’ to the End Times, the 2nd Coming and the Kingdom, then one has to ‘inadvertently’ agree with one’s Assertion that the 7 Feast of YHVH are being fulfilled in a similar Prophetic Pattern, Past, Present and Future. And then even during the 1000-Year Kingdom, etc.
PAST
1 Passover
2 Unleavened Bread
3 First Fruits (Barley)
PRESENT (We are here. The Feast is presently being performed.)
4 Shavuot (2nd Count) Acts 2 New Wine Theory
FUTURE
5 Yom Teruah
6 Yom Kippur
7 Sukkot
Ultimately, it is so because from Eternity’s Reference Point, it is all done as mentioned. There is No Time. But in one’s Demission of Time, Space and Matter, it is still playing-out. Then it is argued, ‘Passover points to the redemption of Israel and the battle between Jesus and the Antichrist’. Can any Scriptural Verse that even hints at this Timing be provided? So, if Jesus is to return at a Passover Feast Timing in the Year 2032? Sure, perhaps.
But that means that the 70th Week of Daniel or the 7-Year Tribulation Period has to have started on Passover of 2025. Where is the ‘Covenant with the Many’? If it is a Geo-Political ‘Peace Treaty’ with Israel, as most surmise, where is it? Where is the Temple that the Daily Sacrifices have to initiate the Day Count? Other People have objected, ‘What is the ‘Big Deal’ about this having to start the Tribulation?’
It is because, precisely at the Mid-Point or the 1260th Day, the Daily Sacrifices are to be stopped. This is when the Abomination of Desolation occurs, etc. Bottom-line, if the Prophetic Typology of the 7 Feast of YHVH are being fulfilled by Jesus are correct, then Jesus cannot return on a Nisan 10 Time-Frame and that Theory will turn-out to be incorrect. That is all. However, it is possible, who is to say. But if the Pattern is Prophecy, then why not take the Pattern back to the Original Advent of Jesus coming to Earth in the Flesh?
That is to say, from Jesus’ Birth that one has presented, corresponds Astronomically to September 11, -3 BC. If so, this would still put the Return of Jesus around the Yom Teruah Feast Time-Frame again. Just an Observation. One can appreciate the Typology that the Triumphal Entry of Jesus at the 2nd Coming will be how it will be replicated. This is True and one is in Agreement, but wrong Month, in one’s Humble Opinion. But it is to be seen. What one has emphasized is that one will be an Eye-Witness to this, and that is what is exciting to anticipate on this Side of the Rapture.
