Fri.’s Devo - The Next Four Feasts

From the time of the first group of feasts and the next feast there were 50 days. The next feast was Pentecost. It was when the harvest was over and they would come to the temple and celebrate God’s goodness in giving them a bountiful harvest. This was to represent the day God would pour out his spirit upon all men and give them the same power Jesus had to be witnesses and do the things he did on the earth. This happened in Acts 2. The third group of feasts occurred during the fall harvest. The first of them was called Roshashana or feast of trumpets. On this day they were to blow trumpets and celebrate the New Year. It looks forward to the day that the trump will sound and Jesus will come down to earth for his 2nd coming. It will truly be a new year! The 6th feast is Yom Kippor or the Days of Awe. That will be the days that the unrighteous on the earth will endure much tribulation and oppression. They will have a short time to repent and turn to God before the last feast which is Feast of Tabernacles. It will be the last great harvest. In that feast we will all come back to earth and live for 1,000 years of millennium where we will tabernacle with the Lord. This is a very condensed version of the seven feasts and what they represent. God gave them physical pictures of what was to come so they wouldn’t miss it when it came, but most of them have and will. Sadly. Lord, help us not to miss what you are doing now and in the future and what you have done in the past. May we live with eternity in our foremost thoughts.
