What The Bible Says
Good Samaritan's Penny Pulpit by Pastor Ed Rice
In Israel's seventh month The Feast of Trumpets, the Day of Atonement, and the Feast of Booths (Lev.23:23-38) are prophetic portrayals of the upcoming restoration and salvation of Israel in their promised land. They also reveal, however, some things about believers in this dispensation of grace. Events that unfold for the congregation of Israel depict and picture events in a believers life, i.e. Passover, our redemption; Unleavened Bread, the perfect Lamb (1Cor.5:7-8); First Fruits, our resurrection (1Cor.15:20-26). Believers are tabernacled in flesh, have had an atonement (Rom.5:11), and will have a holy convocation announced with a trumpet. These are spiritual fulfillments, or mirrored fulfillments of upcoming events. Prophecy always has a final and complete fulfillment, and the regathering of Israel is the final target and complete fulfillment of these three seventh month feast days. Prophecy has a near term fulfillment that aligns with, and resonates with its far term fulfillment. Never let these eclipse the upcoming, complete, primary, jot-and-tittle fulfillment that the Bible is depicting.
These three holy prophetic feast days are mirrored in this age of grace wherein Bible believers listen for a trumpet; we long for a holy convocation in the clouds when the Bridegroom calls for his Bride with a trumpet that says “come up hither”; we see in scripture a holy convocation at the Bema Seat of Christ; and we are summoned to a holy convocation at the wedding table with Christ as we began our forever tabernacling with our Lord in reality. A wise Bible student can keep these promises separated from the Kingdom age promises made to Israel. There is a post perilous times pre-tribulation rapture coming very soon. Listen for the trumpet, but lets be about the Father's business in preaching the gospel to every creature until that twinkling of an eye moment.
