Seven Areas of Reconciliation

Let us therefore fear, lest, a promise being left us of entering into his rest, any of you should seem to come short of it. (Hebrews 4:1)

The last three of the seven Levitical feasts typify what is taking place spiritually in the Church of Christ in the present hour. The three feasts are as follows:

The memorial of blowing of Trumpets.

Speak unto the children of Israel, saying, In the seventh month, in the first day of the month, shall ye have a sabbath, a memorial of blowing of trumpets, an holy convocation. (Leviticus 23:24)

The Day of Atonement.

Also on the tenth day of this seventh month there shall be a day of atonement: it shall be an holy convocation unto you; and ye shall afflict your souls, and offer an offering made by fire unto the Lord. (Leviticus 23:27)

The feast of Tabernacles.

Speak unto the children of Israel, saying, The fifteenth day of this seventh month shall be the feast of tabernacles for seven days unto the Lord. (Leviticus 23:34)

Each of the feasts of the Lord has a kingdom-wide fulfillment and each has a personal fulfillment.

A kingdom-wide fulfillment.

A personal fulfillment.

According to our understanding, the kingdom-wide spiritual fulfillment of Trumpets is described in Revelation, Chapters Eight through Eleven.

The kingdom-wide fulfillment of the Day of Atonement is the thousand-year reign of Christ and His saints.

The kingdom-wide fulfillment of Tabernacles is the new heaven and earth reign of Christ.

In addition to the kingdom-wide fulfillments of these Old Testament feasts there also is a personal, individual fulfillment of each feast.

The memorial of blowing of Trumpets is fulfilled personally when the Lord Jesus reveals Himself to the individual Christian (John 14:21), coming to the believer to wage war against the enemy in his or her personality and also to prepare him or her to be a soldier in the army of the Lord.

The following two passages refer to the personal fulfillment of the Blowing of Trumpets in the Christian believer:

Lift up your heads, O ye gates; and be ye lift up, ye everlasting doors; and the King of glory shall come in. Who is this King of glory? The Lord strong and mighty, the Lord mighty in battle. (Psalms 24:7,8)

But who may abide the day of his coming? and who shall stand when he appeareth? for he is like a refiner's fire, and like fullers' soap: (Malachi 3:2)

The Day of Atonement is fulfilled personally when the saint is cleansed by the Lord from his sins and self-seeking.
