SUMMARY OF THE FEASTS
The two feasts that we have examined, Passover and Feast of
Weeks, or Pentecost, the Greek name meaning fifty, occurred in the spring of
the sacred year, the time when new life comes into existence. Passover was celebrated in the first month on
the fourteenth day. On the fifteenth day
of the same month was the Feast of Unleavened Bread, lasting until the 21st
day of the month. In the same month, the
Feast of Firstfruits and its associated Wave Offering was on the day following
the Sabbath after Passover. The Feast of
Weeks, actually the completion of the Feast of Firstfruits, was fifty days
after the Waving of the Sheaf of Firstfruits.
All of these feast days were fulfilled at the end of the era
of Law. Pentecost was the final feast day of the spring festivals and was
fulfilled when the day of Pentecost was fully come. Because God ordained a special day on his
calendar of events, wouldn’t it seem likely that he has also ordained a special
day which will have its fulfillment with the ending of that same church, the
day when we will be caught up to meet the Lord in the air?
