It's Sunday, 1030, our AM service and 530, our PM service. And we have our midweek service. Normally, we're in the book of Acts, Beacon is gone. I think he did something with his back to say it was working out that he was being too cautious. And I'm just kind of worried about Pastor Anderson just hurting his back. And he texted me. I was like, I got my back too, so I don't have problems. I'm just keeping him in prayer. And we have below that our trip ride following times. Also our salvation of the baptisms. And I know coming up right there in Tempe on November 8th, Sunday, November 12th, we're going to have the missions conference. I'm excited about that. I didn't get to meet him last year, but they're going to have a lot of cool stuff. I know they're going to have a risk tournament, which I know we've played risk before. So I'm looking forward to that, actually. We do have a sign up in the back if you want to volunteer to clean up. And in the back, also, we're having a Navajo reservation trip coming up on September 8th. And I haven't been on that either. I want to take advantage of that. From what I hear, we're receptive. The Painted Desert is that where we're going? Yeah, that's where we're going. And then we also have a small-term soul meeting coming up for Young Arizona. And that's a Saturday, August 19th. What do I see? Do you want any information on that? Because it's going to rain, as well. And then also, we're expecting ladies and stuff to keep him in prayer. And also, let's go ahead and count up our soul winning for going back to Monday. We're going to do salvation for Monday, or Tuesday. What was that at Still out there in the East? Is that what you're talking about? And then for Wednesday, Thursday, and Tuesday. All right, we'll keep up the good work. Soul winning is our next song. Let's cry about what it's going to be. Anyone got one? Let's get it. 63. 63? Uh-oh. Come here. Song number 63, what it's going to be. Let's cry about what it's going to be. Let's cry about what it's going to be.

What a day that will be when my feet are such I see. When I look upon his face, look upon his face, he finds grace. When he takes me by the hand, he keeps me true. Look upon his hand. What a day, what a day that will be. Amen. And it's time to pass the offering plate. As the plate goes around, let's open up our Bibles to Leviticus chapter 23. That's Leviticus chapter 23, as always. We'll read the entire chapter. Please follow along silently. I'm going to give you a read from Leviticus chapter 23. Leviticus chapter 23. Amen. Amen. Verse 1 of Leviticus, and the Lord spake unto Moses, saying, speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, concerning the feast of the Lord, that ye shall proclaim to be holy convocations, even these are my feasts. Six days shall work be done, for the seventh day is the Sabbath rest. Holy convocation shall be no work for them, it is the Sabbath of the Lord, nor your blowers. These are the feasts of the Lord, and their holy convocations, that ye shall proclaim in their seasons, in the 14th day of the first month, at evening, is the Lord's Passover. And on the 15th day of the same month, is the feast of the 11th breath of the Lord. Seven days, ye shall see the 11th breath. In the first day, ye shall have a holy convocation, ye shall do no servile work with it. Ye shall often, and often, may light fire unto the Lord in seven days. In the seventh day, is the holy convocation, ye shall do no servile work therein. And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying, speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, when ye be coming to the land which I give unto you, ye shall reap the harvest there. Then ye shall bring a sheep, the first fruit, to the harvest, unto the priest. Ye shall wave a sheep before the Lord, be accepted for you. On the morrow, after the Sabbath, the priest shall wave it. And ye shall offer that day, and ye shall wave a sheep, to heal after, without blemish, for the first year, for a firm offering is the Lord. And the meat offering thereof shall be two tenths, yield a fine plow, and be avoided. And an offering made by fire is the Lord, for a sweet saving. And the drink offering thereof shall be of wine, the fourth part of the hand. And ye shall eat not of bread, or of parched corn, or of green ears, until the selfsame day, and ye have brought an offering to the Lord, your God. There shall be a statute of reverence throughout your generation, and all your wellness. And ye shall count unto you for the morrow, for after the Sabbath, through the day, a brought sheep will wave offering. Seven savages shall be complete, even unto the morrow. After the seven savages shall be numbered 50 days, ye shall offer a new meat offering unto the Lord. Ye shall bring out of your habitations two wave books of two tenths yields. They shall be a fine plow, they shall be baking with leaven. They are the first ones unto the Lord. Ye shall offer with the bread seven lamb felt blemish for the first year, and one young bull, and two rams. They shall be for a burnt offering unto the Lord, with their meat offering, and their drink offering. Even an offering made by fire, the sweet savour of the Lord. They shall sacrifice one king of the goats, for a sin offering, and two lambs in the first year, for a sacrifice of peace offerings. And the priest shall wave them, with the bread of the first years, or wave off before the Lord, with two lambs. They shall be holy to the Lord the good priest. He shall proclaim himself, same day, that there may be a holy convocation unto you. There shall be no surfer out of work for you. There shall be a statue forever, of all your dwellers throughout your generations. For when you reap the harvest of your lamb, thou shalt not make clean riddance of the corners of thy field and thou reap'st. And thou shalt not gather clean gleeens of thy harvest, thou shalt leave them unto the poor. As a stranger, I am the Lord your God. The Lord's faith must emote the sand, speaking to the children of Israel, saying, in the seventh month, the first day of the month, say, you have a Sabbath, a memorial of blowing and crumbs, and holy convocation. You shall do no surfer out of work for you. You shall offer an offering made by the fire unto the Lord. And the Lord's faith must emote the sand. Also, in the 10th day of the seventh month, there shall be a day of atonement. There shall be a holy convocation unto you. You shall click your souls, and offer an offering made by the fire unto the Lord. You shall do no work for that same day, for it is the day of atonement. It is atonement for you, before the Lord your God. For whatsoever soul it be, that shall not be afflicted, in that same day, it shall be cut off among its people. And whatsoever soul it be, that doeth any work in that same day, the same soul shall be destroyed among its people. You shall do no matter of work. It shall be a statute forever, for all your generations, and all your dwellers, it shall be unto you a salad of rest, and you shall afflict your souls in the ninth day of the month, at evening, from evening unto evening, shall you celebrate your Sabbath. And the Lord's faith must emote the sand, speaking unto the children of Israel, saying, the fifteenth day of the seventh month shall be the feast of the Sabbath, for seven days is the floor. On the first day, shall be the holy convocation. You shall do no servile work there. Seven days, you shall offer an offering made by the fire unto the Lord. On the eighth day, shall be a holy convocation unto you. And you shall offer an offering made by fire unto the Lord. It is a solemn assembly. And you shall do no servile work there. These are the feasts of the Lord, which you shall proclaim to be holy convocations, to offer an offering made by fire unto the Lord, a burn-off and a meat-off, a sacrifice, a drink-off, and everything upon this day. Beside the Sabbath to the Lord, beside your gifts, and beside all your vows, and beside all your free will offerings, which you give unto the Lord. Also, on the fifth day of the seventh month, we have gathered from the fruit. The fruit of the Lamb shall keep peace unto the Lord seven days. On the first day, shall be a Sabbath. And on the eighth day, shall be a Sabbath. And it shall take you on the first day, the boughs of building trees, branches of palm trees, and the boughs of fig trees, and willows of the brook. We shall rejoice with the Lord your God seven days. And you shall keep it, the feast of the Lord, seven days of the year. It shall be a statue forever in your generations. You shall celebrate it in the seventh month. You shall dwell in boots seven days. All that are Israelites born shall dwell in boots. And your generations may know that I made the children of Israel to dwell in boots, when I brought them out of the land of Egypt. I am the Lord your God. And most of the clearance of the children of Israel is in the peace of the Lord. God, I'm in the Amen. All right. Well, I would like to thank pastor for this opportunity to be down here in Deacon as well for letting me preach to you guys. And tonight I'll be preaching a sermon. It's kind of a deep sermon. It's about some end times Bible prophecy as well. But you know, I want to preach a sermon because it's a very interesting topic. And it makes me excited to read my Bible and study these deep truths. And I hope that you'll get that same feeling as well. But the title of my sermon tonight is the Feasts of the Lord Fulfilled. The Feasts of the Lord Fulfilled. Now in the Old Testament, there were seven feasts that God commanded. The children of Israel to keep every single year. And we're going to go through all seven of them. And I'm going to explain to you how Jesus has fulfilled all seven of these feasts. And we'll go over them. But first of all, I want to talk about these seven feasts. Let's go over them really quickly. So the seven feasts are the Passover, the Feast of Unleavened Bread, the Feast of the Firstfruits and the Feast of Weeks are called the Springtime Feasts. Okay, and then that happens in the springtime, of course. And then the last three is the Blowing of the Trumpets, the Day of Atonement and the Feast of Tabernacles. And then these are the three fall time feasts. And these are separated by about six months from each other. And in Deuteronomy 16, it says this, it says three times in a year, shall all thy males appear before the Lord thy God in the place which he shall choose. And this is referring to the feast because these seven feasts are grouped into three different groupings. The first three, and then about 50 days later, you've got the fourth one, which is the Feast of Weeks. And then about six months after that, you've got the Feast of Tabernacles. And so he goes on to explain this. It says in the Feast of Unleavened Bread, which is the first meeting, and in the Feast of Weeks, which is the second meeting, and in the Feast of Tabernacles, which is the third meeting. And so three times in a year, all of the males of Israel are gonna come together in one place and celebrate these seven feasts. And so let's go over these. I wanna first talk about the Passover. This is the one that we probably heard of the most, and it's also the most famous out of all of them. And we can go over some verses here. Look down if you would at Leviticus chapter 23. Look down if you would at verse number four. It says this, it says, these are the feasts of the Lord, even holy convocations, which ye shall proclaim in their seasons. And the 14th day of the first month at even is the Lord's Passover, okay? And so this is the Passover. He's commanded them to keep it on the 14th day of the first month. So it's the beginning of the year, and they gotta keep this Passover. And Exodus tells us how to keep the Passover. And so if you would, just keep your place in Leviticus 23 and turn over if you would to Exodus 12. Exodus chapter 12, we're gonna look at this a little bit and see all the similarities between what Exodus 12 talks about the Passover and the similarities with what Jesus did for us. So as you're turning there, Exodus 12, look down if you would at verse number three, the Bible says, speak ye unto all the congregation of Israel saying, in the 10th day of this month, they shall take to them every man a lamb. And Jesus is the lamb. According to the house of their fathers, a lamb for a house. And if the household be too little for the lamb, let him and his neighbor next unto his house take it according to the number of the souls. Every man according to his eating shall make your count for the lamb. Verse five, your lamb shall be without blemish, a male of the first year. Ye shall take it out from the sheep or from the goats. And ye shall keep it up until the 14th day of the same month. And the whole assembly of the congregation of Israel shall kill it in the evening. And so I wanna point out a couple of things here how this is symbolic of Jesus. Jesus is the lamb slain from the foundation of the world. So Jesus Christ is our lamb. And not only that, it says there has to be a lamb without blemish. And Jesus was the spotless lamb. And in John 1 29, this is what John the Baptist said. He said, the next day, John seeth Jesus coming unto him and sayeth, behold, the lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world. And another cool thing here is that, if you look at these verses that we just read, it says that they were supposed to take this lamb in the 10th day of the first month. And then they were supposed to let them sit there for three to four days, depending on how you look at it, and then kill them on the 14th. And if you think about it, that's exactly what happened with Jesus. He rode into Jerusalem on that Sunday, if you wanna think of it like that. And then he was crucified on that Wednesday or Thursday, depending on how you wanna look at that as well. And so it lines up exactly right. Three to four days later, he was crucified. And in the same way with the Passover, the lamb is killed three to four days after they've picked it out. And so turn if you would to 1 Corinthians chapter five. 1 Corinthians chapter five. Actually, I'm gonna start reading while you're turning there as well. I'll probably read it before you get there. But 1 Corinthians five and verse seven, it says this. It says purge out there for the old leaven that he may be a new lump as you are unleavened, for even Christ our Passover is sacrificed for us. It's just making it very explicit, very plain. Hey, Jesus has fulfilled the Passover by being crucified. And then in verse eight, it goes on to say, therefore, let us keep the feast, not with old leaven, neither with the leaven of malice and wickedness, but with the unleavened bread of sincerity and truth. And that kinda leads us into the next feast, the feast of unleavened bread. It's kinda cool here how on 1 Corinthians five, it's talking about the Passover and the unleavened bread all in the same verses. So I wanted you to check that out, but go back if you would to Leviticus 23, hopefully you kept your spot there. We'll be in Leviticus 23 over and over again tonight. And so just keep your place there. But we're moving on to the second feast, which is the feast of unleavened bread. Now, Jesus fulfilled this as well. And it says there in Leviticus 23, look down if you would at verse number six, it says this. And on the 15th day of the same month, so this is the first month, remember on the first day of the month, they picked out the lamb or the 10th day of the month, they picked out the lamb. On the 14th day, they killed the lamb. And then this is the 15th day. So immediately after the Passover, this is what happens. And on the 15th day of the same month is the feast of unleavened bread unto the Lord. Seven days, you must eat unleavened bread. Now in the Bible, leaven oftentimes is symbolic of sin. And we have this in that chapter that we were just reading from 1 Corinthians five, it says that a little leavened, leavened at the whole lump. And it's just, it's talking about sin there. And so here's the thing about it is that Jesus had no sins, right? He had no sin whatsoever. And so he's not leavened bread, but he's likened unto unleavened bread. And Jesus said, I am the bread of life, right? So he is the bread of life, he's unleavened bread. And since he's come to this earth, and we can taste and see that the Lord is good, right? We can take part of that and we're saved and everything. But you know, he does represent this unleavened bread and us partaking of that, you know, represents that feasting of the unleavened bread, so to speak, I guess you could say. And then let's move on to the third feast. I'm kind of blowing through these first three or four, but then the last few will take more time to talk about. But the next one is the feast of the first fruits. Now you're there in Leviticus chapter 23, look down if you would at verse number nine. And the Bible says, and the Lord spake unto Moses saying, speak unto the children of Israel and say unto them, when ye be come into the land, which I give unto you, and shall reap the harvest thereof, then ye shall bring a sheaf of the first fruits of your harvest unto the priest. And he shall wave the sheaf before the Lord to be accepted for you. And watch this, this is very interesting. On the morrow after the Sabbath, the priest shall wave it. And so once again, this is still, you know, during that same time period, that same first month. And it says that on the morrow after the Sabbath, right? And so we're talking about this timeline of whenever Jesus died. If you think about it, you know, the sequence of events is very interesting. So, you know, let's just say on Sunday, the 10th, you know, Jesus, he rides into Jerusalem, right? This is symbolic of that first day where they picked out the lamb. On Thursday, the 14th, he's crucified. Maybe early in the morning, we don't really know. But then, and then that represents the Passover. On Friday, the 15th, right after that, is the Feast of Unleavened Bread. Once again, in Israel, all over Israel, nobody was allowed to do any work during that time. The whole time that Jesus is in the grave, nobody's allowed to do any work whatsoever. Because on Friday, the 15th was another holy day, which is the Feast of Unleavened Bread. On Saturday, the 16th was the Sabbath. And no one was allowed to work while, you know, during the Sabbath, you know, and then this was a weekly thing, of course. And then that happened on Saturday. And then on Sunday, this is what we're talking about now, the Feast of the First Fruits. This is whenever Jesus Christ resurrected. And this is represented by this Feast of the First Fruits, which happened on the morrow after the Sabbath in the Old Testament. And turn, if you would, to, I'll just read it to you. You just stay where you're at. 1 Corinthians 15, verse 20 says this. But now is Christ risen from the dead and become the first fruits of them that slept. So when did he become the first fruits? Whenever he was resurrected. That resurrection day, whenever he rose again from the grave on that Sunday, he became the first fruits. And that was on the day, on the morrow after the Sabbath, just like it was in the Old Testament. And so this is a great symbolism here. It says that he was the first fruits of them that slept. For since by man came death, by man came also the resurrection of the dead. For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be made alive. But every man in his own order, Christ the first fruits, afterward they that are Christ's that is coming. And so once again, this all points us to Jesus. All these feasts from the Old Testament that they had to keep. Maybe they're thinking to themselves, man, why do I have to keep doing all this stuff? But you know what? It's all pointing to Jesus. And Jesus fulfilled all of these in his first coming whenever he came here. And so those three days, three nights that he was in the heart of the earth, nobody was allowed to do any work. And there's a great verse about this in Hebrews 4. It says this, for he that has entered into his rest, he also has ceased from his own works as God did from his. So they were literally not allowed to work for three days while Jesus was in the grave. But you know, since we're saved, we don't have to do any works for our salvation either. And so we're in this Sabbath as well. We're in this rest as well. This is what Christ has given us is this rest. And so that's the first three feasts. The first three feasts are already fulfilled with Jesus's death, barren resurrection. And I think that's great. And then let's talk about the next feast, which is the Feast of Weeks. Now this is fulfilled a little bit after Jesus's resurrection. So you're still there in Leviticus 23. Look down if you would at verse number 15. It says this, and ye shall count unto you from the morrow after the Sabbath, from the day that ye brought the sheaf of the wave offering. And seven Sabbaths shall be complete, even unto the morrow after the seventh Sabbath, shall ye come number 50 days. So notice, so from the morrow after the Sabbath, from that day whenever they took that firstfruits offering, from that day they are supposed to count for seven Sabbaths for 50 days after that. And then they're supposed to celebrate this feast right here. So this is 50 days after the last feast. And let's keep reading here. In verse 17 it says this, ye shall bring out of your habitations two wave loaves of two tenth deals. They shall be a fine flour. They shall be bacon with leaven. And notice that this time they have bread that's with leaven. That's gonna be important in here in a minute. Earlier it was without leaven. Now it's with leaven. They are the firstfruits unto the Lord. And ye shall offer with this bread seven lambs without blemish of the first year, and one young bullock, and two rams. They shall be for a burnt offering unto the Lord, with their meat offering, and their drink offerings, even an offering made by fire of a sweet savor unto the Lord. Now this whole passage here, and this feast of weeks, is very much linked with the day of Pentecost from Acts chapter two. And the word Pentecost just simply means 50, or 50 days, or whatever. And so that's why it's called Pentecost is because it's 50 days later, right? So you can call it by Pentecost, you can call it by the feast of weeks, but it's the same thing. And then on the day of Pentecost in Acts chapter two, we see this being fulfilled right here. And what do I mean by that? Well, you know, first of all, they were supposed to, they shall, it says in verse 17, if you look back there, it says that they shall be a fine flour, they shall be bacon with leaven. Now earlier we were talking about how Jesus is the bread with no leaven because he was perfect and sinless. But you know, on the day of Pentecost in Acts chapter two, they got many thousands of people saved. You know, 3000 people were added to the church. And this is symbolically, you know, spoken of here whenever it's talking about this bread with leaven, because what does leaven represent? It represents sin. And all of these sinners, all of these regular people are getting saved on the day of Pentecost. And so they are the first fruits unto the Lord in this kind of, in this passage here. And that's kind of what it's symbolic of there. And then it also says that they are made by fire. And of course, in Acts chapter two, they had clove and tongues as a fire whenever they were doing those miracles where they were able to speak to all these people in different languages. And so we can see here that the day of Pentecost in Acts chapter two, this very important event that happened 50 days after Jesus Christ's resurrection fulfilled this fourth feast right here, this last springtime feast. And so, you know, that's what was fulfilled with Jesus Christ's first coming. And then now we're gonna talk about the fall feast, which will be fulfilled with Jesus Christ's second coming as well. And so this will come in the future. And the perfect key to understanding these fall feasts is in Matthew 13, I'll just read it to you. The enemy that sowed them is the devil. The harvest is the end of the world. And the reapers are the angels. And so that's telling us here that, hey, these fall feasts, these harvest feasts right here, this is talking about the end of the world. And so let's look at some of these. And we're gonna talk about the blowing of the trumpets first, so look down if you would at Leviticus 23 and verse 23, it says this. And the Lord's speaking to Moses saying, speak unto the children of Israel saying, in the seventh month, so notice right away, this is six months later, this is six months after the other feast. So in the seventh month, in the first day of the month, shall ye have a Sabbath, a memorial of blowing of trumpets in holy convocation. You shall do no servile work therein, but you shall offer an offering made by fire unto the Lord. And so I also wanna point out too that this first day of the seventh month is the exact middle of the year. This is the very middle day of the year because their calendar is a little bit different than our calendar where every single month only has 30 days. And so they have 360 days in a year, not 365, like what we have. And so this is the exact middle of the year and they are supposed to blow their trumpets in this feast. And now turn if you would to Daniel chapter 12. Daniel chapter 12, we're about to get into some end times Bible prophecy and everything. So we're gonna get deep here. So while you're turning there, I'm gonna give you some background. I'm sure that a lot of people here are already familiar with these concepts, but I'm gonna go over them a little bit anyway. So in Mark 13, it says this, but when you shall see the abomination of desolation spoken of by Daniel the prophet, standing where it ought not, let him that readeth understand, then let them that be in Judea flee to the mountains. And I'm not gonna continue with that, but I just wanted to point out that there is something called the abomination of desolation. Now this is in the end times. And basically we have seven years basically that we focus on in the end times. And then in the middle of that seven years, the abomination of desolation is set up. And basically this is gonna be, you know, we, yeah, this is basically gonna be the Antichrist and he's gonna get a deadly wound and he's gonna come back to life. And then he's gonna claim that he is God and he's gonna set himself up to be God. And he's gonna make the whole world, you know, bow down and worship him or he's gonna try to at least. And so this is going to happen in the middle of those seven years, Daniel's 70th week, these seven years of the end times. And so they're gonna be, let me break it down into days. There are gonna be 1,260 days before the abomination of desolation. And then there are gonna be 1,290 days after the abomination of desolation. That's 42 months before and 43 months after because with their calendar, they gotta have elite month in there because, you know, they only have 360 days in a year. So every seventh year, they have an extra month added to the end of their calendar. And so 42 months before the abomination and 43 months after. Now you're there in Daniel chapter 12 and we're gonna talk about why this is important. But you're there in Daniel chapter 12, look down if you would at verse 11. It says this, and from the time that the daily sacrifice shall be taken away and the abomination that maketh desolate set up, there shall be 1,290 days. So that's after, right? And then it goes on to say this, blessed is he that waiteth and cometh to the 1,305 and 30 days. And then this is talking about the Christian's persecution. Now, you know, in these end times, we will be persecuted whoever, you know, the Christians that are alive during that time, they will be persecuted for 1,335 days. Now, and if you do the math on that, then that's the 1,260 that we already talked about plus 75. So basically what's going on here is that there are 1,260 days of very bad persecution. You know, Christians are getting persecuted all over the world because of this Antichrist. But then whenever he gets that deadly wound and then he gets set up and then he's calling himself God, then that's whenever the extreme persecution starts. That's whenever Christians are just getting killed left and right, all this really bad stuff is happening. And that's gonna last for 75 days. And at the end of that 75 days is the rapture. And so we're gonna talk more about that here in a minute, but I wanna focus on this 1,260 days first, because remember that 1,260 days leads us directly to the middle of those seven years. And then this is why it's important, because the blowing of the trumpets is also exactly in the middle of the year. Whenever they kept this feast back in the Old Testament, it was exactly in the middle of the year. In the same way, the abomination of desolation is set up exactly in the middle of the year. And this is important because in the Old Testament, we'll see it in many different verses that the children of Israel, whenever they saw an enemy coming, whenever they're fighting or in wartime whenever they see an enemy coming, they have to blow their trumpets. And let me just kind of quickly go over a couple of verses like that. How about in Ezekiel, whenever it talks about how the watchman has to be watching, he has to blow the trumpet and warn the people whenever the enemy comes. And if he doesn't blow his trumpet, then their blood is on his hands, right? And then also in Numbers chapter 10, it says this, and if you go to war in your land against the enemy that oppresseth you, then you shall blow an alarm with the trumpets and you shall be remembered before the Lord your God, and you shall be saved from your enemies. And so the blowing of the trumpets, this feast of the blowing of the trumpets is symbolic of this abomination of desolation being set up. And basically, you know, Christians are symbolically blowing those trumpets and God very soon, just 75 days after that is gonna come and just save us all and just rapture us up. And so that's really great and that's wonderful symbolism there. And I think it's really fascinating how both these things happen in the middle, right? The abomination desolation in the middle of the seven years and then this blowing of the trumpets exactly in the middle of the year. And so that's really interesting, it's really great. And then look down if you would at Leviticus 23 verse 26. We're gonna move on to the next feast because it's kind of connected to that feast right there. And this is the feast of the day of atonement. This is the day of atonement. So you're there at Leviticus 23, look down if you would at verse 26, it says this, and the Lord spake unto Moses saying, also on the 10th day of this month, there shall be a day of atonement. So notice, you know, the blowing of the trumpets happened on the first day of the seventh month. This is happening 10 days later on the 10th day of the seventh month. So just 10 days later, it shall be in holy convocation unto you and you shall afflict your souls and offer an offering made by fire unto the Lord. And you shall do no work in that same day for it is a day of atonement to make an atonement for you before the Lord. And so I'm gonna get into a little bit of math here, but what's very interesting about this is that this day of atonement directly corresponds with the rapture. So we were just talking about how the abomination desolation correlates with the blowing of the trumpets, but then the rapture correlates with this day of atonement. Excuse me, I almost forgot. But let's see here. So Daniel's 70th week is seven years, right? And then we're talking about condensing that into this one year for these feasts. And so if you take these numbers here, so there's 1,260 days before the abomination of desolation is set up. And if you divide that by seven, right? Because this is for over seven years, but we're talking about only one year. If you divide that by seven, then that's 180 days. That lines up directly with the first day of the seventh month. So that just lines up exactly right for that. And then the start of Daniel's 70th week to the rapture is 1,335 days. And if you divide that by seven as well, it's 190 days. It goes down to the 10th day of the seventh month. It exactly corresponds. It exactly correlates with these two feasts over here. And so this is great proof that this is basically fulfilling these feasts from the Old Testament. And go over if you would to Leviticus chapter 25. Leviticus chapter 25. And so I hope I'm not going over your head. I hope I'm explaining everything the way that I should be. But all I'm saying is that these two feasts line up perfectly with these end times Bible prophecy events as well. And in fact, there's more to this as well. And Leviticus 25, this is the chapter talking about the year of Jubilee. Every 50th year in the Old Testament, every 50th year, they were on the day of atonement. So this happened on the day of atonement. Everybody was set to liberty. Everybody had to basically go back to their family and all that good stuff. And it was a great day of rejoicing in the Old Testament. But this also corresponds to our rapture that we're talking about here. Now look if you would at Leviticus 25. Look down if you would at verse number nine. Leviticus 25 verse nine, it says this. Then shalt thou cause the trumpet of the Jubilee to sound on the 10th day of the seventh month in the day of atonement. So once again, it happens on the day of atonement every 50 years. In the day of atonement shall ye make the trumpet sound throughout all your land. And ye shall hallow the 50th year and proclaim, look at this, and proclaim liberty throughout all the land unto all the inhabitants thereof. It shall be a Jubilee unto you. And ye shall return every man, look at this, this is very powerful. And ye shall return every man unto his possession and ye shall return every man onto his family. Now this day of atonement, this 50th year, this Jubilee day of atonement symbolically speaking in the end times is talking about the rapture. Because what happens at the day of the rapture, we are set at liberty and we will return to our possession and we shall return unto our families in heaven. And so this is very powerful stuff here. And so it directly corresponds and that's kind of how this particular feast is going to be fulfilled. It's going to be fulfilled with the rapture. So this is what this is talking about here. This year of Jubilee and this day of atonement, they kind of go together here. And then finally, I want to talk about this last feast here. Now this is the Feast of Tabernacles. So turn if you would to Leviticus 23, look down if you would at the verse 33. It says, and the Lord spake unto Moses saying, speak unto the children of Israel saying, look at this, the 15th day of the seventh month. So notice we're still in the seventh month. It's just a short time after that symbolic rapture that this is taking place. It says, the 15th day of the seventh month shall be the Feast of Tabernacles for seven days unto the Lord and skip down to verse 40. It says this, and you shall take you on the first day, the boughs of goodly trees, look at this, branches of palm trees and the boughs of thick trees and willows of the brook and ye shall rejoice before the Lord your God seven days. And you shall keep it a feast unto the Lord seven days in the year. It shall be a statute forever in your generations. You shall celebrate it in the seventh month. You shall dwell in booths seven days. All that are Israelites born shall dwell in booths that your generations may know that I made the children of Israel to dwell in booths when I brought them out of the land of Egypt. I am the Lord your God and Moses declared unto the children of Israel, the Feasts of the Lord. And so this final feast, it happens five days after the last feast that we talked about, the Day of Atonement. And what happens here is that everybody gets these branches, branches of palm trees, branches of goodly trees, and then they rejoice before the Lord. And this has a very strong connection with Revelation. Turn if you would to Revelation chapter seven. Revelation chapter seven and we'll end it there. Revelation chapter seven. Now in Revelation, Revelation chapter six is the rapture. That's where we find the rapture in Revelation. It's in Revelation chapter six. So this is immediately after the rapture. This is immediately after that in Revelation chapter seven. Just like in these Old Testament feasts, this feast happens immediately after the Day of Atonement. So it kind of corresponds there. But look down if you would at Revelation chapter seven. Look down if you would at verse number nine. It says this, after this I beheld and lo, a great multitude which no man can number of all nations and kindreds and people and tongues stood before the throne and before the lamb clothed with white robes, and look at this, and palms in their hands. See they've got those palm branches, the same ones that they had for the Feast of Tabernacles in the Old Testament. They got those palm branches. Verse 10, and cried with a loud voice saying, salvation to our God which sitteth upon the throne and unto the lamb. And all the angels stood round about the throne and about the elders and the four beasts and fell before the throne on their faces and worshiped God saying, amen. Blessing and glory and wisdom and thanksgiving and honor and power and might be unto our God forever and ever, amen. And one of the elders answered saying unto me, what are these which are arrayed in white robes and whence came they? And I said unto him, sir, thou knowest. And he said to me, these are they which came out of great tribulation and have washed their robes and made them white in the blood of the lamb. Therefore they are before the throne of God and serve him day and night in his temple. And he that sitteth on the throne shall dwell among them. They shall hunger no more, neither thirst anymore, neither shall the sun light on them nor any heat for the lamb which is in the midst of the throne shall feed them and shall lead them unto living fountains of waters and God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes. And so we see here, these are the tribulation saints, so to speak. These are the people who came out of great tribulation. And symbolically speaking with our feasts in the Old Testament, these would be the same men that just kept the Day of Atonement. These are the same men that do the Feast of Tabernacles where they have branches of palm trees and they are rejoicing before the Lord. In the same way, these who are raptured in the future, in the book of Revelation, they will be standing before God with palms in their hands and rejoicing and praising the Lord forevermore. And so these are the seven feasts of the Old Testament. And this is how they are all fulfilled with Jesus Christ's first coming, his second coming, with all these end time Bible prophecies and everything. This is how it's all fulfilled. And you know, the Bible is such a deep book. It's so amazing. And why would I even wanna preach a sermon like this? Why would I even wanna talk about all these deep truths? Well, how does this affect me? Why do I need to know this? You know, it's awesome. That's all I can say. You know, it's wonderful. It's so amazing to see how the Bible all fits together and how, you know, the Old Testament is pointing us to Christ and all these wonderful things and great deep truths that we can see from the Bible. And so I'm preaching the sermon, you know, of course to show you guys how those feasts were fulfilled. But also I want you to love the Bible and to get motivated to read the Bible more and to study it and to be looking for Christ on every page in the Old Testament. You know, Jesus is there and we can find him. And I think it's great. I think it's wonderful. And I love reading the Old Testament with Jesus in mind, just trying to find how the Old Testament and the New Testament correlate here and everything. And so I hope this sermon helped you. I want you guys to, you know, read your Bible more, you know, hopefully you already are, you know, and study it and just look for Jesus in the Old Testament because he's there. And, you know, I have other sermons I'm working on in the future where I'm talking about how, you know, there are all these pictures of Jesus in the Old Testament, like in Genesis 22, how, you know, Abraham offered, you know, Isaac his son. And then that represents, you know, Jesus being sacrificed for us and whatnot. And so I just, I think it's wonderful. And I think that we should always be looking for Jesus in the Old Testament. And so I hope that this helped you. I hope it motivated you. I hope that you learned something. And so let's just go ahead and pray. So dear Lord, thank you once again for this opportunity to preach. And I just pray that something that I said would have motivated somebody to do a little bit more Bible reading, a little bit more Bible study. And Lord, I just pray that I was able to teach something. I hope that I was coherent and I hope that somebody here got something out of my message tonight. And it's in Christ name I pray, amen. Amen. I guess I finished. Okay. Stronach Himmels, song number 327. ["Stronach Himmels"] Song 327. Let's do it. ["Stronach Himmels"] ["Stronach Himmels"] ["Stronach Himmels"] Come on everyone, we are dismissed. Thank you.
