Looking at the eschaton, or the last things, is a tricky topic. But, it is important for us as Christians to be able to talk about it with open hands, recognizing the mystery of prophecy. Ken Boa connects the Feast of Tabernacles to the second coming of Christ.
The people whom God has called must be sanctified in order to reflect His holiness. The book of Exodus told the story of God redeeming the Israelites and calling them to be a holy nation. Now, Leviticus represents a guidebook for the new nation of Israel.
The cross must come before the crown, and mourning before joy. We see this typified in the Day of Atonement and the Feast of Booths.
The Feast of First Fruits and Pentecost both find their fulfillment in Christ’s work, but the Feast of Trumpets looks ahead to Christ’s second coming.
Both the Passover and the Feast of Unleavened Bread represented the Israelites’ deliverance from bondage in Egypt. With the coming of Jesus Christ, however, they were fulfilled and their meaning was explained.
At first, the 7 feasts of Israel may not seem like something Christians need to worry about. But these feasts are prophetic, typifying the coming of the Messiah. Israel’s feasts demonstrate the holiness of God and the sinfulness of humanity, looking ahead to the efficacious sacrifice of Christ.
God is faithful. Sometimes it takes us coming to the end of our rope to realize that we need to trust and lean into to the One Who does not fail.
Sometimes things don’t go exactly as we imagine them going. However, God is faithful. We must trust and hope in Him, looking to Him alone for the provision of the Good.
Exodus 1 describes how the children of Israel came to be oppressed by the Egyptians. However, God did not abandon them and was with them during their bondage.
