EXODUS .... to the finish line.: A STEP HIGHER - Part 2

THE SEVEN FEASTS OF ISRAEL

 Leviticus 23:1-44

Any attempt to interpret the Bible especially the conclusion of all things, without a solid grasp of the hidden timelines in the scriptures such as the Feasts of Israel, the tabernacle patterns leading to final evolution of the Temple, the dream of Nebuchadnezzar about the kingdom, the 70 weeks of Daniel among others will lead to an inaccurate conclusion that is way off from the divine intent. Literal interpretation is good and vital but divine mysteries are concealed within the scriptures and wrapped in symbolic form.  The scriptures carry prophetic themes intricately woven together. They are woven in such a way that they are scattered in diverse portion of this divine writings which forces the seekers to search for the connecting link that binds them together. “For precept must be upon precept, precept upon precept; line upon line, line upon line; here a little, and there a little:” (Isa 28:10) Hence it will take an absolute comprehension of the scriptural lines to be able to decode these keys. Ever since God drove man from the garden, the interpretation of this event shifts from its original literal form to assume a spiritual dimension. No longer will they be fulfilled literally but now expressed spiritually. Hence if we can understand their literal appearance in scripture and functionality, then a gentle view with the eye of the Spirit will unveil its spiritual code.

The feasts are as follows:

Feast of Passover – Lev 23: 5, Exodus 12: 3 – 14
Feast of Unleavened bread – Lev 23: 6 – 9
Feast of Firstfruits – Lev 23: 10 – 14
Feast of Pentecost or Weeks – Lev 23: 15 – 22
Feast of  Trumpet – Lev 23: 23 – 25
The day of Atonement – Lev 23: 26 – 32
Feast of  Tabernacles or The in-gathering – Lev 23: 33 – 44

 A STEP HIGHER - Part 2

The whole divine design is the transformation into the fullness of Christ. Christ remains the basis of the faith. We must seek his way far above materialism and what this world can ever offer. That which is earthy is earthy, and that which is spiritual is spiritual. (John 3) Materialism is earthy and has no gain beyond this limited world.

“After  this I looked, and, behold, a door was opened in heaven: and the first voice which I heard was as it were of a trumpet talking with me; which said, come up hither, and I will show thee things which must be hereafter.” Rev 4:1 

“And they heard a great voice from heaven saying unto them, come up, hither. And they ascended up to heaven in a cloud; and their enemies beheld them.” Rev 11:12 

INTRODUCTION

 There is no doubt that creation is in great agony as the world is being shaken to its very foundation. Systems are being shaken to its very rock bottom. The world witnessed a major financial crisis three years ago. Currently, the political agitation towards responsible governance is sweeping over the Arab world with the brutal killing of Muammar Ghaddafi few days ago. The information revolution is taking a new form as the Aljazeeras, Wikkileaks and social networks like Tweeter and Facebook are at the forefront of this global transition. Government no longer has absolute control over information dissemination even in its most despotic form, as Citizen Journalism has come to the fore. Therefore anyone with digital camera or camera phones and internet access can now submit videos and pictures of news events captured to news organizations, including leading global news networks. Earthquakes and other natural disasters are occurring on a regular basis. The recent natural disaster in Japan which was the aftereffect of the twin combination of earthquake along with the tsunami leading to a radiation leak indicates the world is fast imploding. Environmentalists believe that the world may end in 2020. There is a knowing in the heart of every man that whatever has a beginning must surely have an end.
