QUICK REVIEW NOTE:

#5 of 7

If you have read the last posts regarding the first four feasts covenanted by God between He and His people, then you have probably noticed:

1. God is specific.
2. In each feast were elements that were brought to actuality in Jesus.
3. God uses His special days to do important things.

"Therefore, do not let anyone judge you by what you eat or drink, or with regard to a religious festival, a new moon celebration or a Sabbath day. These are a shadow of the things that were to come; the reality, however, is found in Christ." ----Colossians 2:16-17 (emphasis mine)

Most of us know that Passover and Jesus' crucifixion coincided. And most my life I didn't go much further into why. I mostly thought that the two religions were just competing for holiday time! We have Easter, they have Passover. We have Christmas, they have Hanukkah.

But glorious God had a plan, a picture, a shadow. One wonders if the ancient Hebrews were thinking "Why TWO loaves?" Was an ancient wife wondering just who was going to clean that blood off the door frame? Having the benefit of history to review, we get to see the marvelous reality. How blessed we are.

But there are still three more feasts to discuss. We have seen that we are in the summer -- a time of labor in the fields and preparation for the final harvest. This is the Church Age.

Obviously, what follows can only be speculation, educated guesses, and deductions. There are many "end times" philosophies.

"All Scripture is inspired by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, for training in righteousness." ---------------------------------------- 2 Timothy 3:16

So let's look to scripture to teach us!
