I have shared this on other threads, but I do not think we should look at current Jewish practice of the feasts to interpret fulfillment of prophecy. Jesus Himself is the last trumpet, not some Jewish religious figure blowing a horn at the feast of trumpets. The feasts as they are celebrated today have very little semblance to how the Jews were instructed to celebrate them in the law. Not trying to be contrary, just adding my own two cents. Hello RT, I'm also not trying to argue or be contrary, but curious as to why you think Jesus is the Last trumpet. ? Could you provide a verse, or some source. I can't find anything referring to this in scripture.
Also, while I agree that the feasts have changed somewhat, they still are linked and point to Christ. Paul confirmed this to the mixed Jewish and Gentile audience of believers in Colossians 2:
Secondly, Christ fulfilled all the first four [Spring Feasts] in order, and in perfect precision. We know that Sukkot the last Feast is a feast for all nations - Jews and Gentiles, so why would he skip (not fulfill the first two Fall Feasts) Feast of Trumpets and Day of Atonement??
Also, it makes sense in the fact that the Tribulation will be focused on the Jews and those who didn't believe in the Messiah. The thing that would be most likely to wake them up is that this huge event - rapture - happens precisely on Feast of Trumpets. (Especially cool - awesome/ would be if he came on the 23 - the High Sabbath of Shabbat Shuva - which means Return.
Remember, there are seven days in between the feast of Trumpets and Day of Atonement. Hmmmmm.

In answer to your question, see my posts in the following thread: unsealed.boards.net/thread/550/seventh-trumpet-bowl-linkI believe that Jesus actually did fulfill all the feasts while He lived on earth, though the fall feasts were not all fulfilled on their exact day, with the possible exception of tabernacles, which many believe was when Christ was actually born, or even conceived. Scripture tells us that He fulfilled the Day of atonement, when He was resurrected and entered into the heavenly tabernacle (See Hebrews 9-12). My thought is that Jesus may fulfill the feast days again at His second coming, perhaps the fall feasts will be fulfilled on their exact days at the end of the tribulation as a sign to the nation of Israel??? |

rt, I've wondered if there is a link between Jesus' transfiguration and the feast of tabernacles, although they do not seem to happen on the same day. Peter suggested that the disciples build booths for Jesus, Elisha, and Moses, that they might stay there on the mountain. Was this a reference to the FoTabs?

I have wondered that same thing, though I tend to lean toward the thought that it isn't connected to the feast. I think they just wanted to build temporary dwelling places, or "sacred tents" for them, but I can't be sure. |
