Israel’s 7 Appointed Holy Assembly Days, Part 3:

Autumn Assemblies – Representations Yet to Be Fulfilled in Type:

Autumn assemblies – representations yet to be fulfilled in type:

4) ‘Feast of Trumpets’ (lit., Memorial Sabbatism of Blowing Horns); 7th month, 1st day. Lev. 23:24-25

Temple part: veil between the Holy Place and the Most Holy Place.

Representation: Judgment announced, begins. Dan. 7:10d (A Jewish religious tradition says that the dead will be raised on this day.)

5) Day of Atonement; 7th month, 10th day. Lev. 23:27-32

Temple parts: Most Holy Place, with its Ark of the Covenant, whereon the blood of redemption is sprinkled. Lev. 16:14-15

Representation: Judgment sealed, for both the righteous and the unrighteous. John 5:28-29; Dan. 12:2-3

6) first day of the seven-day חַג/Feast of Tabernacles; 7th month, 15th day. Lev. 23:34-36a

Temple parts: Most Holy Place, and the angels whose wings overcover the Ark. ; Ex. 37:7-9 At this time, the raptured Church will be “standing before the throne [of God] and before the Lamb…” Rev. 7:9; Luke 21:36 “And the One sitting on the throne will spread his tabernacle over them.” Rev. 7:15

Representation: Redemption from spiritual slavery and spiritual (= the second) death. At which time, the bodies of the redeemed will be made immortal, and taken to dwell within and under God’s heavenly Tabernacle.

7) Shemini [Eighth Day)] Atzereth [Closing-Up Assembly],” which concludes the yearly cycle of 7 Holy Assembly Days; 7th month, 22nd day, the day after the Feast of Tabernacles ends. Lev. 23:36b

Temple part: “…[there will be] no naos/holy sanctuary in it, for the Lord God Almighty and the Lamb are its naos/holy sanctuary.” Rev. 21:22

Representation: New Heavens and New Earth: complete fulfillment of mankind’s redemption.

Leviticus 23:37 These are the [7] מֹועֲדֵי/yearly appointed times of the LORD which you shall proclaim to be holy מִקְרָאֵי/assemblies/rehearsals…

Taken all together, the yearly cycle of “rehearsals” portrayed, in type, God’s whole Plan of Redemption for the human race. That process begins with the sacrifice of our carnal nature – which nature resulted from Adam’s and Eve’s choices in Eden – and concludes with the complete restoration of the redeemed ones before the face of God in the New Heavens, New Earth, and New Jerusalem:

Revelation 22:4 They shall gaze upon His face, and His name shall be upon their foreheads.
