THREE TIMES WERE THE MALES OF ISRAEL TO APPEAR BEFORE THE LORD. 

NOTICE THAT WORD............''APPEAR'' ....AS BEING FACE TO FACE WITH GOD.

THESE WERE THE PASSOVER, PENTECOST, AND FEAST OF TABERNACLES.

I believe there is Revelation Knowledge that reveals the Timeline of God  as to  what is to happen next, based on these three Feasts. 

The sequence of each Feast seems to be thus:

1. Going into Bondage
2. Coming out of Bondage...ie Freedom
3. Final fulfillment in Jesus.

Please note carefully that the ''days'' of each fulfillment are EXACT.....to the very day!

Colossians chapter two says the Feasts are a ''shadow'' of things to come......but the ''substance'' or ''reality'' or 'fulfillment' is of Jesus. One is a  shadow, the reality/fulfillment is the Person of Jesus.

With those factors in mind consider this.

1. Israel went into Egypt on a Passover....type of Bondage
2. Israel came out of Egypt ''the self-same'' day....on a Passover...Freedom.
3.  Jesus was THE fulfillment of the Passover on the cross. 

Notice the exact day of each occurrence.

What about the other Two Feasts? First Pentecost.

1. Israel went into bondage at Mt. Sinai when they agreed to the Law. Paul says Mt. Sinai ''genders unto bondage'' in Galatians. This happened on a Pentecost.
2. Israel came out of bondage on the Day of Pentecost when the Holy Spirit was given. Paul calls it the '' Spirit of Freedom''.
3. Number three fulfillment is to be accomplished by Jesus...at a future date.....see below.

What about the Feast of Tabernacles?

  1. Israel went into Bondage in the Wilderness after not believing God, that they could enter the Promised land.

  2. When Jesus came the First time He ''tabernacled'' among us. He presented Freedom to the people. ''Whom the Son sets free, is Free Indeed''. See John ch 1.

 3. The final fulfillment of Tabernacles will be when Jesus returns in the Kingdom and then ''tabernacles among us'' permanently. ''Behold the Tabernacle of God is with Man'' says John in the book of Revelation!

So what about the Third fulfillment of Pentecost?

Jesus will fulfill this third fulfillment of Pentecost at the Second Coming! At the end of 6000 years.....at the End of the Age, and the start of the Millennium!

Notice that in the Old Testament the people were to be 'ready against the Third DAY'' when God would ''come down on the mountain''. That is in Exodus ch. 19 That third day is the start of the Millennium.

Jesus and His disciples attended the wedding feast in Cana ''on the third day''. If you read John chapters 1-2 and count the days mentioned you will notice that the third day was the seventh day!

Is there a rapture/? YES! It is before the Third Day before Jesus comes down to the earth. In revelation it says ''the Bride has made herself ready'' before Jesus come down again! ''To be made ready'' implies some time! The bride to be is in heaven for some time before the Marriage Feast/Supper!

To be continued.....if any Doves are interested!
