The Daily Word of Righteousness
The Feast of Tabernacles
And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, Concerning the feasts of the LORD, which ye shall proclaim to be holy convocations, even these are my feasts. (Leviticus 23:1,2)
There were seven "feasts of the Lord." Each of the seven feasts has a kingdom-wide fulfillment and each has a personal fulfillment in the life of the individual believer in Christ. The kingdom-wide fulfillment of the feast of Tabernacles is the eternal reign of Christ. The personal fulfillment of Tabernacles is the coming of the Father and the Son through the Holy Spirit to make Their eternal home in the personality of the saint.
1. Passover (Leviticus 23:5).
2. Unleavened Bread (Leviticus 23:6).
3. Firstfruits (Leviticus 23:10).
4. Pentecost (Leviticus 23:15).
5. Blowing of Trumpets (Leviticus 23:24).
6. Day of Atonement (Leviticus 23:27).
7. Tabernacles (Leviticus 23:34).
Our understanding of the spiritual fulfillments of the seven feasts of the Lord is as follows:
Passover. The kingdom-wide fulfillment of the Passover was the death of Christ on the cross of Calvary.
The personal fulfillment of Passover is our receiving the covering of the blood of God's Lamb, Christ.
Unleavened Bread. The kingdom-wide fulfillment of the feast of Unleavened Bread was the descent of the Lord Jesus into Hell, carrying with Him the leaven of the sins of the world.
The personal fulfillment of Unleavened Bread is our repentance from the wicked behaviors practiced in the world and entrance into the death of the Lord Jesus. Water baptism is an act of faith that portrays our oneness with the crucified and risen Christ.
Firstfruits. The kingdom-wide fulfillment of the feast of Firstfruits was the resurrection of the Lord Jesus from the dead.
The personal fulfillment of Firstfruits is our spiritual resurrection from the dead, which is to be born again, and the ascending of our new spiritual nature in Christ to the right hand of the Father. Coming forth from the waters of baptism represents our birth into the Kingdom of God. It is an expression of union with the resurrected Lord.
Pentecost. The kingdom-wide fulfillment of Pentecost (the feast of Weeks) was the outpouring of the Holy Spirit on the early Christians, as described in the Book of Acts.
The personal fulfillment of Pentecost is the baptizing of the believer with the Holy Spirit, giving him or her wisdom and power to bear witness of Christ's death and resurrection, and wisdom and power to live in a righteous, holy, and obedient manner before God.
The Blowing of Trumpets. The kingdom-wide fulfillment of the blowing of Trumpets will be the blowing of the seven trumpets, as described in the Book of Revelation. The saints will be raised from the dead at the seventh trumpet and the Lord and His army will take possession of the kingdoms of the world.
The personal fulfillment of Trumpets is the coming of King Jesus to us to set up His Kingdom in our personality and to make us a member of His army.
The Day of Atonement. The kingdom-wide fulfillment of the Day of Atonement is the thousand-year Kingdom Age known as the Millennium.
To be continued.
