Pastor Robert Specter of Rock of Israel Ministries shared on Sunday morning, September 24, 2017. This is a worthy ministry that has a heart for the Jewish people and works to proclaim Jesus as HaMashiyach.
We spent the morning learning how Jesus fufilled and will fulfill the Feasts of the Lord listed in Leviticus 23. During his first coming Jesus fulfilled the spring feasts and will fulfill the fall feasts at His Second Coming.
Passover- Jesus is our Passover Lamb.
Unleavened Bread- Jesus is the bread from heaven, without sin, that is provided by God to satisfy the need of our soul.
Firstfruits- Jesus is the firstfruit of those raised from the dead. He gives us promise of the resurrection to come.
Weeks or Pentecost- Jesus is the sender of the Holy Spirit to enable God's people to bring in the harvest.
Summer break- This is the period that we are in now. A time of no feasts, where the people are busy working in the harvests.
Trumpets- The sound of the trumpet will announce the rapture of Christians to be forever with the Lord.
Atonement- A time of national repentance for Israel as they look upon the one whom they pierced and weep. A fountain of cleansing will be opened up by Jesus at His Second Coming to bring salvation to the nation of Israel.
Booths or Tabernacles- Jesus will dwell with us throughout the Millennial Kingdom and on into the New Heavens and the New Earth. We will dwell with Christ in permanent, glorified bodies as opposed to temporary earthly bodies.
May God help us to be about our Father's business during this season of work. We must work while it is yet day because the night is coming when no man can work. Amen!
