JUST 10 DAYS AFTER

SPRING FEASTS
The Lord set up three festivals in the spring. When Jesus was walking on the earth, during his first advent, he fulfilled every detail of all three spring festivals.

1. Passover - He is our Passover Lamb 
2. Feast of Unleavened Bread - He is our sinless Messiah, the unleavened bread come down from heaven 
3. Wave Sheaf - (Barley First Fruits) - He is the first fruits of the bodily resurrected from the dead 

FALL FEASTS
The Lord also set up three fall festivals. When Jesus comes again He will fulfill all three of the fall festivals in every detail. 

1. Trumpets - "the final trump will sound and time will be no more"
2. Yom Kippur - Atonement the blood is sprinkled on the mercy seat
3. Tabernacles - We are his people He is our God and we live together like the days of the Garden, East of Eden. 

In between these two groups of three, is a solitary Festival that falls just 50 days after the feast of the Wave Sheaf offering. 

Jesus Ascends - 10 Days - Holy Spirit/Church Age - 10 Days - Jesus Descends
               Spring Festivals  -  P  e  n  t  e  c  o  s  t    - Fall Festivals

Sandwiched between two, 10 day periods, almost as though they are a mirror image, surrounding the church age. What do I mean by that?

Jesus, hung around for forty more days after his resurrection before returning to Heaven and then He ascended into Heaven just 10 days before the Holy Spirit came.  

The angels are recorded as saying, "Men of Galilee why do you stand here gazing into heaven?" This same Jesus...will return in like manner. 

This same Jesus will come again in like manner. 

And while they looked steadfastly toward heaven as He went up, behold, two men stood by them in white apparel, who also said, “Men of Galilee, why do you stand gazing up into heaven? This same Jesus, who was taken up from you into heaven, will so come in like manner as you saw Him go into heaven.” Acts 1:10-11

These were 10 days of waiting and watching in the upper room.  

Jesus said, "remain in Jerusalem until you are endowed with power from on high." 
They were gathered together in the upper room, praying and seeking God for 10 days until they were of one accord.  After 10 days the Holy Spirit arrived on the 50th day after Jesus fulfilled the wave sheaf festival, on Pentecost, 10 days after His ascension.

With this as a backdrop, I want to begin to discuss the fall festivals starting with Trumpets and then count out 10 days of waiting and watching before the Day of Atonement. Just 10 days after the feast of Trumpets signifying the final trumpet blast before Jesus returns. 

This same Jesus will come again in like manner...

When we look at Pentecost we see 10 days to reach unity so that the one body could be filled with oil - then the Holy Spirit came and filled them with oil indicated by the flames of fire that floated above their heads. They became the lamps of God, no longer hidden under a bushel! Jesus said, "You shall be my witnesses." 

When we look at the Fall festivals we see another ten days, this time, it is ten days to be filled by the Spirit, to prepare to meet the bridegroom.

This is happening shown in at least three different ways. 
10 virgins in the parable of the Kingdom - 5 prepared/5 unprepared
10 days of Awe between Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur. 
10 days to prepare for the great and terrible day of the Lord (the day of atonement)


Many believe that Jesus will return on Yom Kippur or during the Feast of Tabernacles. The three AUTUMN festivals of the Lord are the pattern that Jesus will fulfill in every detail when he returns to the earth in His second coming. 

The trumpet will be a spirit of Elijah who comes before the second coming of Christ. 

Behold, I will send you Elijah the prophet  Before the coming of the great and dreadful day of the Lord. And he will turn The hearts of the fathers to the children, And the hearts of the children to their fathers,  

Lest I come and strike the earth with a curse.

 John the Baptist was the first Elijah who came to prepare the way for the first coming, But Elisha (the second) has the spirit of Elijah but in a double portion. Therefore at the second coming it is Elisha the one with a double portion of Elijah who will carry the 'spirit of Elijah' and 'trumpet' a final turning of the hearts of children to their heavenly Father, to prepare the way for the second coming.

”Are you ready?  Jubilee is only 9 1/2 weeks away.  September 13, 2015, then The Day of Atonement is only 10 days later making it 11 weeks until Yom Kippur. Only 13 weeks until The feast of Tabernacles in the year of Jubilee*. (*according to some sources)
