I’ve been studying Acts for a long while >> and I’m still in chapter two… ;) Anyway, I wrote this out in another forum to help explain G-D's plan for the ages and the yet future restoration of Israel into her land... I’m wondering if you could proof read it for me??
G-D gave to Israel (7) feasts in Leviticus, they are called the “feasts of the LORD”. The festival year outlined as follows…
(1) Seven DAYS. Exodus 20:8-11 "Remember the Sabbath day"
(2) Seven weeks. Leviticus 23:15 "Seven Sabbaths shall be complete"
(3) Seven MONTHS. Leviticus 23:24 "In the seventh month--a Sabbath"
(4) Seven years. Leviticus 25:2-5 "In the seventh year--a Sabbath"
(5) Seven times seven years. Leviticus 25:8-10 "The Jubilee"
(6) Seven times SEVENTY years. Daniel 9:24-27 "The prophecy of Daniel"
(7) The Millennium. The Sabbath of the ages. Revelation 20:3-6
The Passover and Unleavened Bread were part of Israel's REDEMPTION from Egypt. The feast of Firstfruits, Pentecost, Harvest and Trumpets were associated with REAPING. The first two feasts (Firstfruits & Pentecost) being anticipatory, the last final (Harvest and Trumpets). The Day of Atonement and Tabernacles are associated with ATONEMENT by blood and dwelling in booths.
Christ was the Passover lamb at His death; He was the Firstfruits of the harvest at His resurrection. Pentecost was the celebration of the ANTICIPATED harvest. It was an anticipation of harvest, just as firstfruits were. The GATHERING of Israel to Jerusalem at this period was in anticipation of the greater gathering at the time of the end. Trumpets will be sounded in the book of Revelation and will signal the final in-gathering. The two loaves (Pentecost) are with LEAVEN and are a type of the two divisions of ISRAEL. They were described as Israel and Judah. G-D knew this division was coming and that there would be a restoration of all the tribes into one nation see Ezekiel 37 somewhere above.
Of course it went completely ignored. :)
