Session #4 THE FALL FEASTS OF ISRAEL

SHADOWS OF THE CHRIST AND THE NEW COVENANT – PART #3

The Israelites knew the blood of the lamb had protected them from the death of their firstborn on that first Passover night they kept in Egypt

12  ‘For I will pass through the land of Egypt on that night, and will strike all the firstborn in the land of Egypt, both man and beast; and against all the gods of Egypt I will execute judgment: I  am  the  Lord .  13  Now the blood shall be a sign for you on the houses where you  are.  And when I see the blood, I will pass over you; and the plague shall not be on you to destroy  you  when I strike the land of Egypt.
(Exodus 12:12-13)

As  Passover initiated Israel's exodus from slavery in Egypt.
So  Christ's crucifixion initiated the elect's exodus from the dominion of the devil, the slavery of sin and the bondage of the world.

The Feast of Trumpets

1. STAGE #1:

JESUS' PROCESSION ACROSS THE SKY: TO RAPTURE THE CHURCH

A•  The second coming procession begins in the sky when Jesus travels across the entire earth on the clouds at the last trumpet.  

51  Behold, I tell you a mystery: We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed—  52  in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet. For the trumpet will sound, and the dead will be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed. (1 Cor. 15:51-52)

15  Then the seventh angel sounded: And there were loud voices in heaven, saying, “The kingdoms of this world have become  the kingdoms  of our Lord and of His Christ, and He shall reign forever and ever!”  (Rev. 11:15)

B•  Jesus will be seen by every eye, every person (believers and unbelievers).

7  Behold, He is coming with clouds, and every eye will see Him, even they who pierced Him. And all the tribes of the earth will mourn because of Him. Even so, Amen. (Rev. 1:7)

C•  They will have seen many false signs done by the Antichrist and others.

9  The coming of the  lawless one  is according to the working of Satan, with all power, signs, and lying wonders,  10  and with all unrighteous deception among those who perish, because they did not receive the love of the truth, that they might be saved.  (2 Thes. 2:9-10)

13  He performs great signs, so that he even makes fire come down from heaven on the earth in the sight of men.  14  And he deceives those who dwell on the earth by those signs which he was granted to do in the sight of the beast, telling those who dwell on the earth to make an image to the beast who was wounded by the sword and lived.  (Rev. 13:13-14)

24  For   false christs and false prophets will rise and show great signs and wonders to deceive,   if possible, even the elect.   (Mt. 24:24)

D•  The angels will gather the saints from one end of the sky to the other after every eye has seen Jesus, who is traveling on the clouds. 

30  Then the sign of the Son of Man will appear in heaven,   and then all the tribes of the earth will mourn, and they will see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of heaven with power and great glory.   31  And He will send His angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they will gather together His   elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other. (Mt. 24:30-31)

The Day of Atonement

II. STAGE #2 JESUS' PROCESSION ON THE LAND: THROUGH JORDAN (EDOM)

A•  Jesus will descend from heaven and eventually come to the Mount of Olives.

4  And in that day His feet will stand on the Mount of Olives,
Which faces Jerusalem on the east.
And the Mount of Olives shall be split in two,
From east to west,
Making  a very large valley;
Half of the mountain shall move toward the north
And half of it toward the south.

5  Then you shall flee  through  My mountain valley,
For the mountain valley shall reach to Azal.
Yes, you shall flee
As you fled from the earthquake
In the days of Uzziah king of Judah.

Thus the  Lord  my God will come,
And  all the saints with You. (Zech. 14:4-5)

B•  Jesus will march through the city of Bozrah in Edom (modern-day Jordan) killing His enemies on His way to Jerusalem.

5  “For My sword shall be bathed in heaven;
Indeed it shall come down on Edom, (Isa. 34:5)

14  Then the  Lord  will be seen over them,
And His arrow will go forth like lightning.
The Lord  God  will blow the trumpet,
And go with whirlwinds from the south. (Zech. 9:14)

5  The Lord  is  at Your right hand;
He shall execute kings in the day of His wrath.
6  He shall judge among the nations,
He shall fill  the places  with dead bodies,
He shall execute the heads of many countries. (Ps. 110:5-6)

17  “I see Him, but not now;
I behold Him, but not near;
A Star shall come out of Jacob;
A Scepter shall rise out of Israel,
And  batter the brow of Moab,
And destroy all the sons of tumult.

18  “And Edom shall be a possession;
Seir also, his enemies, shall be a possession,
While Israel does valiantly. (Num. 24:17-18)

17  Then I saw an angel standing in the sun; and he cried with a loud voice, saying to all the birds that fly in the midst of heaven, “Come and gather together for the supper of the great God,  (Rev. 19:17)

1 Who  is  this who comes from Edom,
With dyed garments from Bozrah,
This  One who is  glorious in His apparel,
Traveling in the greatness of His strength?—

“I who speak in righteousness, mighty to save.”

2  Why  is  Your apparel red,
And Your garments like one who treads in the winepress?

3  “I have trodden the winepress alone,
And from the peoples no one  was  with Me.
For I have trodden them in My anger,
And trampled them in My fury;
Their blood is sprinkled upon My garments,
And I have stained all My robes.
4  For the day of vengeance  is  in My heart,
And the year of My redeemed has come. (Isa. 63:1-4)

C•  The fact that the “heavens opened” 

11  Now I saw heaven opened, and behold, a white horse. And He who sat on him  was  called Faithful and True, and in righteousness He judges and makes war.  (Rev. 19:11)  

D•  Jesus will come as the “greater Moses,” who will release the bowls of wrath as He marches to Jerusalem in a way that is parallel to how Moses released the ten plagues on Egypt  (Ex. 7-12)

As in the days when you came out of Egypt, I will show them my wonders.”  (Mic. 7:15)

F.David prophesied that Jesus will dash the nations or destroy the social infrastructures of the Antichrist's empire. 

8  Ask of Me, and I will give  You The nations  for  Your inheritance,
And the ends of the earth  for  Your possession.
9  You shall break them with a rod of iron;
You shall dash them to pieces like a potter's vessel.' ” (Ps. 2:8-9)

15  Now out of His mouth goes a sharp sword, that with it He should strike the nations. And He Himself will rule them with a rod of iron. He Himself treads the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God.  (Rev. 19:15)

26  And he who overcomes, and keeps   My works until the end,   to him I will give power over the nations—

27  ‘He   shall rule them with a rod of iron;
They shall be dashed to pieces like the potter's vessels'—

as I also have received from My Father;   (Rev. 2:26-27)

III. STAGE #3

JESUS' PROCESSION INTO JERUSALEM: HIS TRIUMPHAL ENTRY

A•  The final stage of the second coming procession brings us to the high point of world history.

8  Who  is  this King of glory?
The  Lord  strong and mighty,
The  Lord  mighty in battle. (Ps. 24:8)

17  “At that time Jerusalem shall be called The Throne of the  Lord , and all the nations shall be gathered to it, to the name of the  Lord , to Jerusalem. No more shall they follow  the dictates of their evil hearts.

18  “In those days the house of Judah shall walk with the house of Israel, and they shall come together out of the land of the north to the land that I have given as an inheritance to your fathers. (Jer. 3:17-18)

12  Then speak to him, saying, ‘Thus says the  Lord  of hosts, saying:

“Behold, the Man whose name  is  the BRANCH!
From His place He shall branch out, And He shall build the temple of the  Lord ;
13  Yes, He shall build the temple of the  Lord .
He shall bear the glory, And shall sit and rule on His throne;
So He shall be a priest on His throne, And the counsel of peace shall be between them both.” ' (Zech. 6:12-13)

7  And He said to me, “Son of man,  this is  the place of My throne and the place of the soles of My feet, where I will dwell in the midst of the children of Israel forever.  (Ezek. 43:7a)

B•  Jesus' second coming will be in context to the Battle of Jerusalem.

1Behold, the day of the  Lord  is coming, And your spoil will be divided in your midst.
2  For I will gather all the nations to battle against Jerusalem; The city shall be taken,
The houses rifled, And the women ravished.
Half of the city shall go into captivity, But the remnant of the people shall not be cut off from the city. (Zech. 14:1-2)

12  Then the sixth angel poured out his bowl on the great river Euphrates, and its water was dried up, so that the way of the kings from the east might be prepared.  13  And I saw three unclean spirits like frogs  coming  out of the mouth of the dragon, out of the mouth of the beast, and out of the mouth of the false prophet.  14  For they are spirits of demons, performing signs,  which  go out to the kings of the earth and of the whole world, to gather them to the battle of that great day of God Almighty.

15  “Behold, I am coming as a thief. Blessed  is  he who watches, and keeps his garments,   lest he walk naked and they see his shame.”

16  And they gathered them together to the place called in Hebrew,  Armageddon. (Rev. 16:12-16)

1Behold, the day of the  Lord  is coming,
And your spoil will be divided in your midst.
2  For I will gather all the nations to battle against Jerusalem;
The city shall be taken,
The houses rifled,
And the women ravished.
Half of the city shall go into captivity,
But the remnant of the people shall not be cut off from the city.

3  Then the  Lord  will go forth
And fight against those nations,
As He fights in the day of battle.
4  And in that day His feet will stand on the Mount of Olives,
Which faces Jerusalem on the east.
And the Mount of Olives shall be split in two,
From east to west,
Making  a very large valley;
Half of the mountain shall move toward the north
And half of it toward the south.

5  Then you shall flee  through  My mountain valley,
For the mountain valley shall reach to Azal.
Yes, you shall flee
As you fled from the earthquake
In the days of Uzziah king of Judah.

Thus the  Lord  my God will come,
And  all the saints with You. (Zech. 14:1-5)

C•  The nations will gather to make war with Jesus.

14 They will wage war against the Lamb, but the Lamb will triumph over them because he is Lord of lords and King of kings—and with him will be his called, chosen and faithful followers.”   (Rev. 17:14)

19  And I saw the beast, the kings of the earth, and their armies, gathered together to make war against Him who sat on the horse and against His army. (Rev. 19:19)

2  The kings of the earth set themselves,
And the rulers take counsel together,
Against the  Lord  and against His Anointed, saying, (Ps. 2:2a)

14  And no wonder! For Satan himself transforms himself into an angel of light.  (2 Cor. 11:14)

14  These will make war with the Lamb, and the Lamb will overcome them, for He is Lord of lords and King of kings; and those  who are  with Him  are  called, chosen, and faithful.” (Rev. 17:14)

D•  Jesus will approach Jerusalem on a white horse after He completes His march up through the land, killing the Gentile armies stationed in Jordan and Jerusalem. 

11  Now I saw heaven opened, and behold, a white horse. And He who sat on him  was  called Faithful and True, and in righteousness He judges and makes war.  12  His eyes  were  like a flame of fire, and on His head  were  many crowns. He had a name written that no one knew except Himself.  13  He  was  clothed with a robe dipped in blood, and His name is called The Word of God.  14  And the armies in heaven, clothed in fine linen, white and clean, followed Him on white horses.  15  Now out of His mouth goes a sharp sword, that with it He should strike the nations. And He Himself will rule them with a rod of iron. He Himself treads the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God.  16  And He has on  His  robe and on His thigh a name written:

KING OF KINGS AND
LORD OF LORDS.

The Beast and His Armies Defeated

17  Then I saw an angel standing in the sun; and he cried with a loud voice, saying to all the birds that fly in the midst of heaven, “Come and gather together for the supper of the great God,  18  that you may eat the flesh of kings, the flesh of captains, the flesh of mighty men, the flesh of horses and of those who sit on them, and the flesh of all  people,   free and slave, both small and great.”

19  And I saw the beast, the kings of the earth, and their armies, gathered together to make war against Him who sat on the horse and against His army.  20  Then the beast was captured, and with him the false prophet who worked signs in his presence, by which he deceived those who received the mark of the beast and those who worshiped his image. These two were cast alive into the lake of fire burning with brimstone.  21  And the rest were killed with the sword which proceeded from the mouth of Him who sat on the horse. And all the birds were filled with their flesh. (Rev. 19:11-21)

F. The pinnacle of the second coming procession is Jesus' re-entry into the city of Jerusalem. To be officially received by the governmental leaders of Israel as their messianic King.

39  for I say to you, you shall see Me no more till you say,   ‘Blessed  is  He who comes in the name of the  Lord !'” (Mt. 23:39)

G. Jesus will be celebrated as the Son of David in a Hosanna coronation parade that is hosted by the leaders of Israel.

7  Lift up your heads, O you gates!
And be lifted up, you everlasting doors!
And the King of glory shall come in.
8  Who  is  this King of glory?
The  Lord  strong and mighty, The  Lord  mighty in battle. (Ps. 24:7-8)

2 It is the glory of God to conceal a matter; to search out a matter is the glory of kings.   (Proverbs 25:2)
