The Daily Word of Righteousness
Salvation Is Deliverance From Sin, #16
Speak unto the children of Israel, saying, In the seventh month, in the first day of the month, shall ye have a sabbath, a memorial of blowing of trumpets, an holy convocation. (Leviticus 23:24)
The spiritual fulfillment of Trumpets takes place as the Lord Jesus comes to us and declares war on the enemy in our personality—the worldliness, the lust, and the self-will. Also the Lord begins to prepare us to march in His army of judges.
The spiritual fulfillment of the Day of Atonement occurs as the Lord Jesus reveals the sin and rebellion in our personality. The Day of Atonement is, in some respects, another name for the Judgment Seat of Christ. The Day of Atonement began in the first century and will continue throughout the thousand-year Kingdom Age.
The feast of Tabernacles represents the coming of the Kingdom of God to us, that is, the settling down to rest in us of the Father and the Son through the Holy Spirit.
Jesus answered and said unto him, If a man love me, he will keep my words: and my Father will love him, and we will come unto him, and make our abode with him. (John 14:23)
The trumpet of God is sounding now, in Zion, in the house of God. The army of the Lord is being called together. At the same time the Lord is dealing with the sin in our personality.
There were two great parts of the Day of Atonement (Leviticus, Chapter 16). The first part included the sprinkling of the blood of a goat upon and before the Mercy Seat. The second part made use of a living goat. The sins of Israel were confessed and laid on the living goat. Then the living goat was led away into the wilderness.
The two ceremonies mean there are two parts to the atonement made by the Lord Jesus Christ. The first part consisted of the forgiveness of our sins. The second part consists of the removal of our sins. Forgiveness and then removal. Forgiveness and then deliverance. This is salvation.
The Scripture reveals that the first goat was fulfilled when the Lord Jesus died on the cross of Calvary. At that time the sin of mankind was forgiven.
And he is the propitiation for our sins: and not for ours only, but also for the sins of the whole world. (I John 2:2)
The second goat is fulfilled when the Lord removes our sins from us. The New Testament refers to the second goat as "redemption," or "salvation," maintaining that this redemption or salvation will take place at the end of the age.
The day of redemption is being emphasized today. We have passed through Passover and Pentecost (salvation and the baptism with the Holy Spirit). Now we are entering the last three feasts, particularly the day of atonement, of redemption, of reconciliation to God by the removal of sin. Judgment has begun in the house of God. The trumpet is being blown in Zion. Can you hear it?
To be continued.
