The
Pentecost Milestone DURING or
BEFORE the Feast of Trumpets? Why
is the Feast of Pentecost observed BEFORE the Feast of Trumpets if its fulfillment occurs DURING the
Feast of Trumpets at the 1st Resurrection, at the “last
trump”? Are we overlooking something
that occurs BEFORE Trumpets? Consider the following items: 1.
Lev 23 shows
the Feast of Pentecost (23.15-22) as occurring BEFORE the Feast of Trumpets
(23.33-43). Both of these are TYPES
for separate “milestone” events to
be fulfilled on earth in the Creator’s plan for mankind. 2.
Rev 4-5 shows a
final revival of Creationism and Redemption (Rev 4.11; Ps 22.27-31) resulting
in “men purchased from every nation... made a kingdom
and priests” (Rev 5.9-10), a global “harvest” occurring AFTER the church eras
in Rev 2-3 and BEFORE the Seven Seals
are opened in Rev 6-9. 3.
1 Cor 15.51-52; Rev 11.15; 15.1-2 are verses showing that
the Firstfruits are resurrected DURING the Feast of
Trumpets, at the “last trump” of the seven trumpets which compose the 7th Seal. This timing fulfills a promise given to the
saints in Ps 149.5-9 of having the honor of executing judgment on the
nations, with Armageddon as the Marriage Supper (Rev 19). However, the focus of the “last trump” is
the 7 last plagues being poured out to overcome 4.
Rev 4.1; 7.1,
9; 15.5; 18.1; 19.1 all repeat the phrase “after these things”, showing that Revelation portrays events that
are occurring in a linear chronological
order, except for certain inset chapters (12, 13, 14, 17, 18). Therefore the kingdom of priests in Rev
5.9-10 occurs AFTER the Laodicean Era and BEFORE
the 1st Seal is opened. 5.
Isa 55; 35;
43.18-21; 41.17-20; 52; 51.3-5, 9-16; 28.21; 62.10-12; 40-1-10; Ps 98.1-9;
107.1-7; 96; 22.27-31; Zeph 2.1,9; 3.12-20; Hag 2; Mic 4.6-13 are
verses that strongly indicate an “everlasting
sign” will occur in the desert,
that a gathering of saints, a strong
nation, will occur BEFORE the Great Tribulation. 6.
1 Cor 10.6,11 shows that the Old Testament Israelites were
meant only as a TYPE for the Holy Nation that was to occur as the fulfillment
of the Feast of Firstfruits in the End Time (Ps 95; 96.1-3,10-13; 98.1-9). 7.
Mt 24.34 shows
that all these things must be fulfilled BEFORE the End. Would the Creator do anything less than a
global warning comparable to the witness given to Noah’s generation before
the Flood? The
association of Pentecost solely
with the 1st resurrection has blinded
us to the BIG event occurring
BEFORE the Feast of Trumpets that fulfills this annual holyday – the Holy Nation that is called and
gathers to the miraculously-transformed desert
somewhere in Jacob (Ps 99.4) to become an “everlasting sign” (Isa 55.13) to the world, and to perform the
worldwide gospel witness of Mt 24.14 before the End. This
“Pentecost Nation” Kingdom, this Spring Harvest of the Firstfruits, is something we have been overlooking since the
Church began. Now is the time to understand this Good News (Gospel) and
proclaim it to the world, as the true
fulfillment of the Feast of Pentecost, and as the TYPE for the Kingdom portrayed in the Fall Harvest, the Feast of Tabernacles, fulfilled during the Millenium. Copyright © 2011 http://freedomnews.com 10/8/05 |
