Holydays 2 & 3 FULFILLMENTS Overlooked?
Doug Stehling
Is the Church overlooking the FULFILLMENTS of the
2nd and 3rd Annual Holydays of Leviticus 23?
Do the Annual Holydays of Leviticus 23 depict BIG EVENTS to occur on
the earth?
Was the death of the Messiah the BIG EVENT that fulfilled the 1st
Holyday called the "Passover" -- "The First Day of Unleavened
Bread"?
What BIG EVENT fulfills the 2nd Annual Holyday called "The Last Day
of Unleavened Bread"?
If the 7 days of Unleavened Bread correspond to the 7 church eras
described in Revelation 2 & 3, what BIG EVENT occurs during the LAST
(7th) church era - the "Laodicean" era?
Is the miraculous crossing of the Red Sea on "The Last Day of
Unleavened Bread" a TYPE for the BIG EVENT that fulfills the 2nd
Annual Holyday?
Would a miraculous transformation of the desert fit such a fulfillment,
with the Creator again using "dry land" to deliver His People?
(See: Isa 35; 40.1-10; 41.17-20; 43.18-20; 51.3-4; 52.1-10; 55.1-13;
61.6-11; 62.10-12)
Is the "everlasting sign" in the desert (Isa 55.13) what triggers
the worldwide gathering and "Spring Harvest" of saints as the
fulfillment of the 3rd Annual Holyday called "Pentecost" - "The
Feast of Firstfruits" - the "strong nation" of Micah 4.6-8
whose mission is to fulfill the "good news" (gospel) witness of the
kingdom to the world as promised in Mt 24.14?
If the "Worldwide Church of God", guided by Herbert W. Armstrong
from October 1933 to January 16, 1986, fulfilled the 6th church era
(the "Philadelphia" era) and its mission of planting the seeds for
the "Spring Harvest" (Isa 55.10), are we not on the verge of seeing
the fulfillment the 2nd annual holyday that signals the end the 7
church eras period and the beginning of the springing forth of the
"Pentecost Nation" Spring Harvest in fulfillment of the 3rd Annual
Holyday?
Does this powerful spiritual revival of the true church as the kingdom
of priests depicted in Revelation 4-5 (cf. Rev 5.9-10) precipitate the
confrontational reaction of the false church depicted in Revelation
6.1, which then leads to the Great Tribulation in Revelation 6.9-11?
Is the church making the same mistake the Jews made in 30AD of focusing
on the fulfillments of the "Feast of Trumpets" and the "Feast of
Tabernacles" instead of on the next holyday to be fulfilled, which
today is the 2nd Annual Holyday, "The Last Day of Unleavened Bread"
- the miraculous transformation of the desert somewhere "in
Jacob" (Ps 99.4), followed immediately by the 3rd Annual Holyday -
the "Pentecost Nation"?
