Parable of the Great Feast

“The Kingdom of Heaven can be illustrated by the story of a king who prepared a great wedding feast for his son. When the banquet was ready, he sent his servants to notify those who were invited. But they all refused to come!

“So he sent other servants to tell them, ‘The feast has been prepared. The bulls and fattened cattle have been killed, and everything is ready. Come to the banquet!’ But the guests he had invited ignored them and went their own way, one to his farm, another to his business. Others seized his messengers and insulted them and killed them.

“The king was furious, and he sent out his army to destroy the murderers and burn their town. And he said to his servants, ‘The wedding feast is ready, and the guests I invited aren’t worthy of the honor. Now go out to the street corners and invite everyone you see.’ So the servants brought in everyone they could find, good and bad alike, and the banquet hall was filled with guests.

“But when the king came in to meet the guests, he noticed a man who wasn’t wearing the proper clothes for a wedding. ‘Friend,’ he asked, ‘how is it that you are here without wedding clothes?’ But the man had no reply. Then the king said to his aides, ‘Bind his hands and feet and throw him into the outer darkness, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.’

Christ’s Sacrifice for the Ungodly

(Genesis 22:1-10; John 3:16-21; Romans 5:6-11)

For when we were yet without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly. For scarcely for a righteous man will one die: yet peradventure for a good man some would even dare to die. But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. Much more then, being now justified by his blood, we shall be saved from wrath through him. For if, when we were enemies, we were reconciled to God by the death of his Son, much more, being reconciled, we shall be saved by his life. And not only so, but we also joy in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom we have now received the atonement. –Romans 5:6-11; The benefits of justification; BENEFITS OF BEING JUSTIFIED THROUGH FAITH

For God So Loved

For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil. For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved. But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God. –John 3:16-21; Jesus’ conversation with Nicodemus; THE NEW BIRTH

The Offering of Isaac

And it came to pass after these things, that God did tempt Abraham, and said unto him, Abraham: and he said, Behold, here I am. And he said, Take now thy son, thine only son Isaac, whom thou lovest, and get thee into the land of Moriah; and offer him there for a burnt offering upon one of the mountains which I will tell thee of. And Abraham rose up early in the morning, and saddled his ass, and took two of his young men with him, and Isaac his son, and clave the wood for the burnt offering, and rose up, and went unto the place of which God had told him. Then on the third day Abraham lifted up his eyes, and saw the place afar off. And Abraham said unto his young men, Abide ye here with the ass; and I and the lad will go yonder and worship, and come again to you. And Abraham took the wood of the burnt offering, and laid it upon Isaac his son; and he took the fire in his hand, and a knife; and they went both of them together. And Isaac spake unto Abraham his father, and said, My father: and he said, Here am I, my son. And he said, Behold the fire and the wood: but where is the lamb for a burnt offering? And Abraham said, My son, God will provide himself a lamb for a burnt offering: so they went both of them together. And they came to the place which God had told him of; and Abraham built an altar there, and laid the wood in order, and bound Isaac his son, and laid him on the altar upon the wood. And Abraham stretched forth his hand, and took the knife to slay his son. –Genesis 22:1-10; The sacrifice of Isaac; Abraham’s offering of Isaac

No Shame

I’m Not Ashamed

(Luke 9:26; Mark 8:38; Romans 1:16)

“For whosoever shall be ashamed of me and of my words, of him shall the Son of man be ashamed, when he shall come in his own glory, and in his Father’s, and of the holy angels.” –Luke 9:26 (KJV); (Greek); Cf. Luke 9 (TR) (NET) (BLB) (Bible Hub, KJV+S)

“Whosoever therefore shall be ashamed of me and of my words in this adulterous and sinful generation; of him also shall the Son of man be ashamed, when he cometh in the glory of his Father with the holy angels.” –Mark 8:38 (KJV); (Greek); Cf. Mark 8 (TR) (NET) (BLB) (Bible Hub, KJV+S)

“For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.” –Romans 1:16 (KJV); (Greek); Cf. Romans 1 (TR) (NET) (BLB) (Bible Hub, KJV+S)

Take Up Your Cross

(Matthew 10:37-39; Matthew 16:24-28; Mark 8:34-38; Luke 9:23-27)

“And he said to them all, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow me. For whosoever will save his life shall lose it: but whosoever will lose his life for my sake, the same shall save it. For what is a man advantaged, if he gain the whole world, and lose himself, or be cast away? For whosoever shall be ashamed of me and of my words, of him shall the Son of man be ashamed, when he shall come in his own glory, and in his Father’s, and of the holy angels. But I tell you of a truth, there be some standing here, which shall not taste of death, till they see the kingdom of God.” -Luke 9:23-27 (KJV)

“And when he had called the people unto him with his disciples also, he said unto them, Whosoever will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me. For whosoever will save his life shall lose it; but whosoever shall lose his life for my sake and the gospel’s, the same shall save it. For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? Or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul? Whosoever therefore shall be ashamed of me and of my words in this adulterous and sinful generation; of him also shall the Son of man be ashamed, when he cometh in the glory of his Father with the holy angels.” -Mark 8:34-38 (KJV)

I am Not Ashamed of the Gospel

“For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek. For therein is the righteousness of God revealed from faith to faith: as it is written, The just shall live by faith.” -Romans 1:16-17 (KJV)

Time

Some have set a date for the Rapture. That date is September 26, 2022. As the clock ticks toward that day I must finish this Series. This coming Monday is that day. I’m not lending credence to date setting or proposing that day. The purpose of the series is to refute the main point of their theory. I wanted to lay out a study of the Rapture and cover topics used to refine the time. We looked at three texts and extracted two topics The Trump of God and The Last Trump.

The first point is that the Feast of Trumpets points to the Rapture. The seven Jewish Festivals lay out God’s plan. The Spring and Summer Festivals have been fulfilled. The Fall Festivals have not yet been fulfilled and the Feast of Trumpets is next in line. Furthermore the Last Trump equates to the final, 100th, blast of the Feast of Trumpets. I do see the imagery in the festivals and fulfillment in Christ. However the Trump of God is sounded by God not men. This article, from Leader University on the Trump of God, points that out.

The second point is the Fig Tree represents the rebirth of Israel on May 14,1948. I interpret the Fig Tree as relating to the signs of Christ’s Second Coming. The writer of this article seems to agree and lays it out. (cf. The Parable of the Fig Tree) Furthermore the prophecy is that all the Promises Land be occupied by all Twelve Tribes each living in there allotted places. These articles points out that most Jews don’t celebrate Jubilee because they have not yet been gathered to the Land. they also explained the The Shemittah/Yovel cycle and The Fiftieth Year. A Jubilee (Yovel) can only be declared on a Shemitah (Shmita) year. The year 5782 since creation (September 7, 2021 – September 25, 2022) is a Shemitah (Shmita) year.

Third they claim we are the Fig Tree Generation. The generation that will not pass away until all these things take place. A Generation is a maximum of 80 years. See the link above that agrees with my interpretation of what Generation is in view.

Fourth the have a 3 day plan. 1 day is a 1000 years. 2 days= a 2000 year Church age and 1 day for the Millennium. Hear is there Timeline Chart or this one.

Well gonna close it up here for now. I’m not a fan of the date setters even those settling a two day Feast period and a year. The spirit of it all is to be ready anytime for you never know when He’ll return for his Bride! It would seem as the pains are coming in smaller intervals. Surly we are close to that Blessed Hope, Maranatha!

Festivals

Beloved,

We have been looking into the Rapture of the Church. This is the third post in this series. Time is of the essence as this series comes to refute the, soon coming, date set. I am not lending any credence to date setting or this date. These posts are not complete in themselves rather pave the way to this end. No post, in this series is a complete study or written as an Academic Paper. In the process many links are given for research as well as resources given for a study layout. We are not intending to write a Dissertation on the Rapture rather covering the main points related to the teaching, soon to be unpacked, discussed and refuted.

Having laid out the idea of the Rapture of the Church and declaring three main texts in the last two post, we laid out a study using those three texts. We focused in on the Trump of God and the Last Trump, even a word study centering on Trump/Trumpet.

In this series conclusions await the final post. In this post we cover the first leg of the teaching in view, not yet presented. We move from a Trump to the Feast of Trumpets.

Feast 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 (KJV); (Hebrew); Cf. Leviticus 23 (AC) (NET) (BLB) (Bible Hub, KJV+S)

The Blowing of Trumpets; The Two Silver Trumpets; Provisions and Commands

The Feast of Trumpets is one of the Seven Festivals instituted by God in Leviticus 23 and Numbers 29. Particularly in Leviticus 23:23-25 and Numbers 29:1-6.

Jews have two calendar cycles agricultural and civil. 1 Tishrei is the first day of the seventh month but is the Jewish New Year. It is commonly known as Rosh Hashana, Yom Teruah.

Within the Jewish Holidays the seven feasts can be found. Rosh Hashana (Yom Teruah) mark the start of the High Holidays ending with Yom Kippur. This is ten days, the time between known as the Days of Awe.

Time to close. This has added to the last post Trumpets. Next post we will consider the Shmita and Jubilee (Yovel) Cycles. I am not a Jew or a Historian and have not had Jewish Studies although have attended Torah Class. I am not a Judaizers but Christian have visited Israel and studied their culture to aid understanding the Scriptures. I have found this limited study to be rather fascinating.
