So what do those "FEAST DAYS" have to do with me anyway??

THE YEAR OF JUBILEE/The FEAST of TRUMPETS

I actually like to think of this of this as CONNECTING the DOTS between the BODY of CHRIST and the remnant of ISRAEL.

I have been having a few conversations behind the scenes of this blog. And One of our believing brothers, wrote me and said.

“THE JUBILEE YEAR” has nothing to do with the “RAPTURE/Caught up.

I would like to offer this to the many of you that might be in agreement with him. 

Sorry brother, I disagree, but I can love you anyway. Let it not divide us..

Allow me to explain..

THE FEAST OF THE LORD or considered an " DIVINE APPOINTED TIME" of the LORD 

LEV 23: 2  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.

I do not believe it is necessary that to LOVE SOMEONE, to consider them as a member of the BODY,… requires that they believe EVERY DOCTRINE that you BELIEVE IN.

 THOUGH, I admit,  it would be BETTER to be in UNITY on such matters to work and minister more PERFECTLY in the KINGDOM of GOD.

Doctrine is how “we RULE our house”, bad doctrine will lead to SUFFERING and CHASTISEMENT, as the LORD will tear down the walls/false doctrines for our OWN GOOD, but I do not believe it is a MATTER of SALVATION.

IT can be difficult to MINISTER “WITH” someone of DIFFERENT Doctrines, because often your goals and visions for life are traveling a different road.

THERE IS ONLY ONE TRUE DOCTRINE that must remain in UNITY AMONG US:

There is ONLY ONE LORD, ONE WAY to SALVATION, and “THE GOSPEL” is about that ONE MESSAGE and ONE MAN “JESUS CHRIST”.   

TO BE IN CHRIST JESUS, is the ONLY way to SALVATION for HE IS “THE SALVATION”.

THE FEAST and the FORESHADOWS, WITENESS and TESTIMONY  OF JESUS CHRIST:

I  would like to EXPRESS WHY I think it is “WORTH the TIME and EFFORT” of every BELIEVER to seek understanding of the “FEAST DAYS” of the LORD.  These are the REASONS that I truly felt IMPRESSED and INSPIRED by the HOLY SPIRIT to STUDY the “FEAST DAYS”.

Here is a couple of questions to meditate upon about during this study:

1. HOW important is the MESSAGE of JESUS CHRIST to you?
2. HOW important do you think, the MESSAGE of JESUS CHRIST is to the FATHER?  Do you believe HE IS TRUE TO HIS WORD?
3. KEEP IN MIND, THAT YOUR own salvation came through the FULFILLMENT of the first 4 FEAST of the LORD.

Mainly, it is through the answer to these THREE questions that should offer us some insight concerning the IMPORTANCE of THE FEAST DAYS……

HOW important are these FEAST to the FATHER.

“THEY are THE FEAST OF THE LORD!!!!”

THEY ARE A PROCLAMATION, PROPHETIC EVENTS and TESTIMONY/WITNESS to THE NAME OF HIS SON, JESUS CHRIST, the "ONLY"  BEGOTTEN SON of the FATHER. THE FIRST FRUIT Of us ALL.

1. THE FEAST were FORESHADOWS of HIS SON: WE don’t deny that!!

We all KNOW that JESUS CHRIST FULFILLED the first 4 FEAST to the DAY.  We also know there are 3 FEAST REMAINING yet to be FULFILLED upon the EARTH.

If you take a short study of the OLD TESTAMENT you can very quickly see that the FATHER went through GREAT EFFORTS to ORDAIN these FEAST, making it QUITE CLEAR that they were considered HOLY/Set apart, remained HOLY and were HONORED “COMPLETELY” by ISRAEL. So much so that even MISHAPS were chastised or punished for, sometimes even DEATH occurred when these “feast” or articles of the temple where met with Defilement or even handled carelessly. 

WHY do you think that was so?

Because they WERE exact REPLICAS of what is in HEAVEN and REPRESENTED what was PRECIOUS in HIS SIGHT, and the FORESHADOWS of HIS SON.

HE took great care to INSTRUCT, for these FORESHADOWS ensuring they were PRESENTED precisely as HE INSTRUCTED. THEY were to be protected and undefiled because they were the VERY WITNESS upon this earth of the PROMISE of HIS SON, for the REDEMPTION of the WORLD.

THEY were the WITNESS of the SON OF GOD:

JESUS CHRIST was the LONG AWAITED MESSIAH, the “HIGH PRIEST” and the "APPOINTED"  “SACRIFICE” that was ACCEPTABLE to the FATHER etc.

4. REMEMBER in the TEMPLE when JESUS CHRIST spoke.

Have you not ever wondered why the people in the TEMPLE were so outrage over HIS proclamation? HEY to say.. I have come to SET YOU FREE, and to HEAL you should have been a well received message!!!

HE proclaimed to be “the JUBILEE”. WHAT a GLORIOUS PROCLAMATION and PREACHING that was. Do you get it???

LUKE 4: 18 The Spirit of the Lord [is] upon me, because he hath anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor; he hath sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised,

LUKE 4: 19 To preach the acceptable year of the Lord.

COMPARE that to IS 61: 1  

HE PROCLAIMED to be the “DELIVERER, "THE JUBILEE"!!!! THAT was the FIRST MESSAGE HE TESTIFIED to among the JEWS/those in the TEMPLE.

That HE would be “The ONE” to SET THEM FREE, from all bondage of debt and to release them from the YOKE and BONDAGE of the WORLD..HE would BE the JUBILEE/DELIVERER!!!!

 I don’t think it takes spiritual eyes to see this, but HIS message was to the JEW first then when they rejected HIM, HE came to a people that were not HIS PEOPLE etc.

THE MESSAGE of the JUBILEE, was not KNEW to the JEW.. They KNEW exactly what HE was proclaiming and were in OUT RAGE concerning HIS PROCLAMATION. 

NOTE:  PLEASE take the time to READ HIS PROCLAMATION and compare it to IS.

SO WHY IS A “JUBILEE YEAR” an important “SIGN” that we should AT LEAST be aware of?

1. BECAUSE the FATHER is FAITHFUL TO THE SON, in HONORING the SON and the WORK and MESSAGE HE PROCLAIMED.

AT THE END OF  "YOM KIPPUR" THE DAY OF ATONEMENT" the shofar is BLOWN and the JUBILEE BEGINS..

He will not DISHONOR the foreshadows HE GAVE of HIS OWN SON.

2.   THE LORD is not done with ISRAEL.

HE is going to open the EYES of a REMNANT that remains in ISRAEL. HE IS NOT LIAR, and HE will continue to “WITNESS” to them through the “FEAST” days until the VEIL is removed from their “EYES”. 

3.  FOR THE BODY OF CHRIST:

THE “WORD of GOD” tells us that WE will not know the DAY OR the HOUR, but that those of us that are IN CHRIST JESUS can know the SEASON.  THESE “SEASONS” are known according to these FEAST and signs in heaven.

CONCLUSION:

WE are the BODY OF JESUS CHRIST.

AS that BODY of BELIEVERS, We have been PROMISED “DELIVERANCE” from the WRATH of GOD. All those  “IN CHRIST JESUS” will participate in the PROMISE of the SON. To be spared from that WRATH. IT is the BODY OF CHRIST that will be “CAUGHT UP”.

Those that are NOT in JESUS CHRIST will remain to endure through the WRATH of the FATHER.  MANY “FAITHFUL” REMNANT JEWS will be SEALED and have their EYES open around the RETURN of JESUS CHRIST. 

The FATHER will remain faithful to HIS OWN FEAST DAYS, and they WILL be a WITNESS to ISRAEL.  HE will NOT profane or DENY the NAME and FORESHADOWS of HIS OWN SON.

AS the BODY OF JESUS CHRIST, we should be able to FORESEE that the “CAUGHT UP” period MOST LIKELY will occur on the FEAST DAY known as the “ DAY OF TRUMPETS, The Second return, THE DAY OF ATONEMENT, a day when the ATONEMENT is applied to the EARTH and GOD’S people” and that should occur DURING a “JUBILEE YEAR”.  THE JUBILEE YEAR, will be a SIGN to ISRAEL and SHOULD be a “SIGN” to the BODY OF the SECOND RETURN OF JESUS CHRIST.

HE WILL REMAIN FAITHFUL TO HIS WORD..AMEN.

There are TWO things I truly believe that I can count on for CERTAIN about END-TIMES.

1.  JESUS CHRIST, the only begotten SON, will COME IN THE CLOUDS to gather HIS ELECT according to the WORD of the FATHER, before the WRATH is poured out.
. IE, THE FEAST of the LORD/ THE DAY OF THE LORD!!!

2. The LITTLE HORN will stand “on a  WING of the TEMPLE”  and proclaim to be GOD. (a completed TEMPLE is not necessary to fulfill this scripture)

I do hope that is HELPFUL..

BLESSETH be the NAME OF JESUS CHRIST!!!
