THE FEASTS
OF ISRAEL PROPHECY CHART
These
are some of the most awesome prophesies revealed in the Bible.
The
feasts and celebrations which are the Holy Days that the Israelites were told,
by God through Moses, to honor each year, were actually ...
SHADOWS OF
THINGS TO COME
|
Colossians
2:16-17
Let no man therefore judge you in
meat, or in drink, or in respect of an holyday, or of the new moon, or
of the Sabbath days: Which are a shadow of things to come; but the body
is of Christ. |
In
other words ... God created these days of celebration as signs of major
Spiritual events that would occur on these feast and celebration Holy Days in
the future. You will find after you have completed this study that the Jewish
feasts and celebrations which have been celebrated by the Israelites from the
time of the exodus from Egypt, were created by God as shadows or many Spiritual
events that have already occurred such as the baptism and death of Jesus, the
introduction of the Holy Spirit at Pentecost and even future events such as
...
THE END TIMES.
WHAT ARE THE
FEASTS OF ISRAEL PROPHECY EVENTS AND WHAT DOES FEASTS OF ISRAEL PROPHECY
HAVE TO DO WITH CHRISTIANS?
SEE THE

To
understand this study you must become familiar with the Jewish calendar and the
TRUTH that there are two New Years like the American New Year within each one
year period.

The Jewish calendar has two distinct
starting points ... Kinda like having two New Years. They are on the first and
seventh month.
Keeping this in mind, let us proceed.
To get you
familiar with Feast Shadows, let's start off with the Feast Shadow known as ...
THE SABBATH
|
WORK
SIX
DAYS, REST ON THE SEVENTH
The Bible says that God worked six days ... Genesis,
Chapter 1, and on the seventh day, He
rested, Genesis
2:2. God also made this law apply to His people. They were to
work six days and rest on the seventh, Exodus
20:9-10. And
six years thou shalt sow thy land, and shall GATHER in the fruits
thereof, Exodus
23:10 ...
If His people had a servant or slave, they were to work six years
and be set free the seventh year. God's
people were also to sow in the land and gather fruits for six years
but not on the seventh. Even Jesus, when He was put on the Cross, hung
there six hours, and died at the beginning of the seventh hour, Mark
15:25
and Mark 15:34-37. |
We see a
pattern created by God. There are six time periods of work and one time period
of rest.
DAY
OF REST
The Bible says that after the End
Times, there is a one thousand year period of time, known as the
"Millennium" which Satan is imprisoned and there is a time of peace
and REST for mankind.
|
Revelation
20:3-4
And cast him into the bottomless
pit, and shut him up, and set a seal upon him, that he should deceive
the nations no more, till the thousand years should be fulfilled: and
after that he must be loosed a little season. And I saw thrones, and
they sat upon them, and judgment was given unto them: and I saw the
souls of them that were beheaded for the witness of Jesus, and for the
word of God, and which had not worshipped the beast, neither his
image, neither had received his mark upon their foreheads, or in their
hands; and they lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years. |
|
ONE
THOUSAND YEARS = ONE DAY TO GOD
In 2
Peter 3:8 it says that Heaven and Earth are reserved for
fire and judgment, but that
one day to God is one thousand years to
mankind. Again, in Psalms
90:4 it says that a thousand years in God's sight are as
but a day, as a "watch" in the night. |
Now, let us do
a little simple math ...
If God says that ... Mankind shall work six days and rest on
the seventh, And one thousand years to man is but one day to God, And there is a
one thousand year time period known as the Millennium, Then mankind must
"work" for six days or six thousand years and rest for one
thousand years.
So this Holy Day called SABBATH is a SHADOW of the event known as the
MILLENNIUM.
Below
is a table that will show you how we’ll be studying the other feast shadows,
to make them easier to understand and reference between.

SABBATH
Genesis
2:2-3
And on the seventh day God ended His work which He had
made; and He rested on the seventh day from all His work which He had
made. And God blessed the seventh day, and sanctified it: because that
in it He had rested from all His work which God created and made.
Exodus
20:8-10
(The
Fourth Commandment)
Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy. Six days shalt thou labour,
and do all thy work: But the seventh day is the Sabbath of the Lord
thy God.
|
Millennium
Revelation
20:3-4

THIS
PARTICULAR SHADOW SIGN IS STUDIED MORE IN DEPTH IN THIS STUDY:

Now
that you get the idea of what a Holy Day SHADOW is ... buckle up cuz you are
gonna learn just how cool God is.
There
is a feast and celebration in Israel known as PASSOVER.
|
Leviticus
23:5
In the fourteenth day of
the first month at even is the LORD's Passover. |
|
Exodus
12:3-6
Speak ye unto all the congregation of Israel, saying, In the
tenth day of this month
they shall take to them every man
a lamb,
according to the house of their fathers, a lamb for an house:
And if the household be too little for the lamb, let him and his
neighbour next unto his house take it according to the number of
the souls; every man according to his eating shall make your
count for the lamb. Your
lamb shall be without blemish,
a male of the first year: ye shall take it out from the sheep,
or from the goats: And ye shall
keep it up until the
fourteenth day of the
same month: and the whole
assembly of the congregation of Israel shall kill it in the
evening. |
You
have probably heard the story of how this celebration came about, but do not
realize it. It is the story of the great exodus from Egypt (Book
of Exodus). After God had plagued
the Egyptians for not letting His people go, Moses told the Jewish people that
the Angel of death was coming to kill all the first born of Egypt and in order
for the Israelites to protect their first born children from this Angel of
death, they needed to place lamb's blood on their homes for the Angel of death
to PASS OVER them. It was called ...
PASSOVER
In
this celebration, they were to bring in an unblemished lamb on the
tenth day of the first month of the Jewish calendar and keep this
lamb for four days. Then on the fourteenth day of the first
month the Israelites would kill their lamb and
place the BLOOD
OF THE LAMB on their homes to save themselves. They
were told to do this every year and was called PASSOVER.
This
celebration was a shadow of an event to come ...
JESUS' DEATH
Jesus,
known as the Lamb without sin, came into Jerusalem on the
tenth day of the first month and was with the people for four days.
He was killed by the choice of His own people on the fourteenth day of the
first month just as the Jewish people were celebrating
THE
PASSOVER.
His
blood is now the SAVING GRACE.
There
is a feast and celebration in Israel known as FIRST
FRUITS which was three days after Passover where the
Jewish people were to offer an he lamb without blemish as a sacrifice to their
Lord.
|
Leviticus
23:10-14
Speak unto the children of Israel,
and say unto them, When ye be come into the land which I give unto
you, and shall reap the harvest thereof, then ye shall bring a sheaf
of the Firstfruits of your harvest unto the priest: And he shall wave
the sheaf before the LORD, to be accepted for you: on the morrow after
the Sabbath the priest shall wave it. And ye shall offer that day when
ye wave the sheaf an he lamb without blemish of the first year for a
burnt offering unto the LORD. And the meat offering thereof shall be
two tenth deals of fine flour mingled with oil, an offering made by
fire unto the LORD for a sweet savour: and the drink offering thereof
shall be of wine, the fourth part of an hin. And ye shall eat neither
bread, nor parched corn, nor green ears, until the selfsame day that
ye have brought an offering unto your God: it shall be a statute for
ever throughout your generations in all your dwellings. |
This celebration was a shadow of an event to come ...
JESUS' RESURRECTION
Three
days after Jesus, the
He Lamb without sin (blemish) was killed, He
was Resurrected on Sunday morning as our spiritual sacrifice.
God used Jesus
as that he Lamb because there were not enough sheep in all the world to
atone for their sins.
There
is a celebration known as Pentecost which was
fifty days after the FIRST
FRUITS celebration.
|
Leviticus
23:15-16
And ye shall count unto you from the
morrow after the Sabbath, from the day that ye brought the sheaf of
the wave offering; seven Sabbaths shall be complete: Even unto the
morrow after the seventh Sabbath shall ye number fifty days; and ye
shall offer a new meat offering unto the LORD. |
It was
when there was an offering of
fire made unto the Lord.
This
event was a shadow of an event to come ...
Jesus
stayed forty days after He Resurrected and then was taken up to Heaven. It was
ten days after that when the Holy Spirit would introduce Himself, which would
make it fifty days from the day Jesus was
resurrected. On This day about
one hundred twenty believers in Jesus encountered the Holy Spirit which gave
them gifts such as the ability to speak in tongues and they saw tongues of
fire
come upon them.
|
Acts
2:2-4
And suddenly there came a sound from Heaven as of a
rushing mighty wind, and it filled all the house where they were
sitting. And there appeared unto them cloven tongues like as of fire,
and it sat upon each of them. And they were all filled with the Holy
Ghost, and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them
utterance. |
It is
also written that John the Baptist told his followers that they were being
baptized with water but would one day be baptized with
fire, referring to
the Holy Spirit.

Jesus' Death
Jesus was

so they baked unleavened bread because they had no other food
prepared.

Jesus’
Resurrection
Three days after Jesus (the
He
Lamb without sin) was killed, He was resurrected on Sunday
morning. God
sacrificed Jesus as that he Lamb because there
were not enough sheep in all the world to atone for peoples’ sins.
|
Even
Jesus' baptism was foretold by a shadowed event ...
John
the Baptist told Jesus at the baptism of Jesus that it was Jesus that should be
baptizing John. Jesus told John that they needed to
fulfill all
righteousness.
|
Matthew
3:13-15
Then cometh Jesus from Galilee to
Jordan unto John, to be baptized of him. But John forbad Him, saying,
I have need to be baptized of thee, and comest thou to me? And Jesus
answering said unto him, Suffer it to be so now: for thus it becometh
us to fulfil all righteousness. Then he suffered Him. |
Most
do not understand what Jesus meant when He said that He and John were to "fulfill
all righteousness" ... He was referring to Spiritual fulfilling of
a Holy Day known as the Day of Atonement described in ...
|
Leviticus
16:21-31
And Aaron shall lay both his hands upon
the head of the live goat, and confess over him all the iniquities of
the children of Israel, and all their transgressions in all their
sins, putting them upon the head of the goat, and shall send him away
by the hand of a fit man into the wilderness: And the goat shall bear
upon him all their iniquities unto a land not inhabited: and he shall
let go the goat in the wilderness. And Aaron shall come into the
tabernacle of the congregation, and shall put off the linen garments,
which he put on when he went into the holy place, and shall leave them
there: And he shall wash his flesh with water in the holy place, and
put on his garments, and come forth, and offer his burnt offering, and
the burnt offering of the people, and make an atonement for himself,
and for the people. And the fat of the sin offering shall he burn upon
the altar. And he that let go the goat for the scapegoat shall wash
his clothes, and bathe his flesh in water, and afterward come into the
camp. And the bullock for the sin offering, and the goat for the sin
offering, whose blood was brought in to make atonement in the holy
place, shall one carry forth without the camp; and they shall burn in
the fire their skins, and their flesh, and their dung. And he that
burneth them shall wash his clothes, and bathe his flesh in water, and
afterward he shall come into the camp. And this shall be a statute for
ever unto you: that in the seventh month, on the tenth day of the
month, ye shall afflict your souls, and do no work at all, whether it
be one of your own country, or a stranger that sojourneth among you:
For on that day shall the priest make an atonement for you, to cleanse
you, that ye may be clean from all your sins before the LORD. It shall
be a Sabbath of rest unto you, and ye shall afflict your souls, by a
statute for ever. |
On the
tenth day of the seventh month, the
Levite priest of Israel at the
time (John the Baptist at this point in time) was to confess the sins of the
people and put these sins onto an he goat and send the he goat
into the wilderness. This he goat would then have all the sins of the people on
him.
John
the Baptist was a Levite priest and Jesus did
take the sins
of the people upon Himself. After the baptism of Jesus, He
went
into the wilderness for forty days and was tempted by the devil.
|
Matthew
4:1-11
Then was Jesus led up of the Spirit
into the wilderness to be tempted of the devil. And when He had fasted
forty days and forty nights, He was afterward an hungred. And when the
tempter came to Him, he said, If thou be the Son of God, command that
these stones be made bread. But He answered and said, It is written,
Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth
out of the mouth of God. Then the devil taketh Him up into the holy
city, and setteth Him on a pinnacle of the temple, And saith unto Him,
If thou be the Son of God, cast thyself down: for it is written, He
shall give His Angels charge concerning thee: and in their hands they
shall bear thee up, lest at any time thou dash thy foot against a
stone. Jesus said unto him, It is written again, Thou shalt not tempt
the Lord thy God. Again, the devil taketh Him up into an exceeding
high mountain, and sheweth Him all the kingdoms of the world, and the
glory of them; And saith unto Him, All these things will I give thee,
if thou wilt fall down and worship me. Then saith Jesus unto him, Get
thee hence, Satan: for it is written, Thou shalt worship the Lord thy
God, and Him only shalt thou serve. Then the devil leaveth Him, and,
behold, Angels came and ministered unto Him. |
This
also means that Jesus' ministry began when He was baptized on the tenth
day of the seventh month and lasted until Passover which is the
fourteenth day of the first month. There are 360 days in a Jewish year.
Jesus was 30 when he began His ministry …
Luke
3:22-23 …
His ministry lasted three years plus. The Gospel of John describes three
different Passover feasts over the course of Jesus' ministry. This implies that
Jesus preached for a period of three years ... John
2:13, John
6:4 and John
11:55 ...
It
began at the Day of Atonement and ended on Passover which is six months apart.
So Jesus’ ministry was three and a half years long.

Leviticus
16:21-31
|
Jesus' Baptism
John the Baptist told Jesus at
His baptism, that it was Jesus that should be baptizing John. Jesus
told John that they needed to fulfill all righteousness. He was
referring to Leviticus
16:21-31. John was a Levite priest and Jesus (the
He goat) did take the
sins of the people upon Himself.
After Jesus was baptized, He went into the
wilderness for forty
days and was tempted by the devil.
Matthew
4:1-11
|
That means
Jesus' ministry lasted three and a half years.
GOOD FRIDAY
This brings us to another
interesting fact.
The Jewish calendar day does
not start at midnight but rather sunset. This begins the 12 hours of night hours
and at sunrise it begins the 12 hours of day hours.
|
John 11:9
Jesus answered,
Are there not twelve hours in the day? |
Jesus died at the
ninth hour of the day.
|
Mark 15:34-37
And at the
ninth hour Jesus cried with
a loud voice, saying, Eloi, Eloi, lama sabachthani? which is, being
interpreted, My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me? And some of them that
stood by, when they heard it, said, Behold, he calleth Elias. And one ran and
filled a spunge full of vinegar, and put it on a reed, and gave him to drink,
saying, Let alone; let us see whether Elias will come to take him down. And
Jesus cried with a loud voice, and gave up the
ghost. |
... Making it about 3:00 pm ... A few hours before sunset,
when our precious Lord died for our sins.
We also know that Jesus was in
the earth for 3 days and 3 nights.
|
Matthew 12:40
For as Jonas (Jonah) was three days
and three
nights in the whale's belly; so shall the Son of man (Jesus) be
three days
and three nights in the
heart of the earth. |
And
resurrected on Sunday morning as the first day of the Jewish week is Sunday
just as the American calendar begins on Sunday.
|
Mark 16:2
And very early in the morning the
first day of the week, they came unto
the sepulchre at the rising of the sun ... |
The stone
was found rolled away and the tomb empty on Sunday morning.
Do the math
on these facts and this reveals that Jesus was killed on Thursday, not "Good
Friday."
So ... Where did the
"Good Friday" come from?
Many believe that because the Jewish people asked that Jesus' crucified body be
taken down from the cross because it would be "Sabbath" at sunset. (Sabbath is
from Friday sunset to Saturday sunset.)
|
John 19:31
The Jews therefore, because it was the
preparation, that the bodies should not remain upon the cross on the sabbath
day, (for that sabbath day was an HIGH
day,) besought Pilate that their legs
might be broken, and that they might be taken away.
|
So the next day was a Sabbath day (a
day of rest from work).
However ... Did you notice that it said that
this particular Sabbath was a " high"
Sabbath day, meaning it was a special Sabbath. The Sabbath being spoken of is a
special Sabbath that occurred the day after Passover.
|
Leviticus 23:6-7
And on the fifteenth day of the same month is the feast of
unleavened bread unto the LORD: seven days ye must eat unleavened bread. In
the first day ye shall have an holy convocation: ye shall do no servile work
therein.
|
The first day (the 15th day
of the month) was the first day of the Feast of Unleavened Bread and was a
special Sabbath and at sunset it would have been this special Sabbath ... Not
the weekly Sabbath.
The math on proving this TRUTH
is simple ... Matthew reveals that Jesus was found missing the day after
Sabbath.
|
Matthew 28:1
In the end of the Sabbath,
as it began to dawn toward the first day of the week, came Mary Magdalene and
the other Mary to see the sepulcher. |
How can it be then that they
asked Jesus to be taken down from the cross on the day before Sabbath and His
body was found missing the day after Sabbath when we know Jesus
told us He would be in the earth 3
days and 3 nights?
|
Matthew 12:40
For as Jonas (Jonah) was three days
and three
nights in the whale's belly; so shall the Son of man (Jesus) be
three days
and three nights in the
heart of the earth. |
If Jesus died on Friday and was found missing on Sunday
morning ... How can one ever make that add up to 3 days and 3 nights?
FRIDAY NIGHT
SATURDAY NIGHT
SUNDAY NIGHT
The
problem is that Jesus was found missing Sunday
MORNING.
As I said, simple math ... Jesus died on the 14th day of the first month of
the Jewish calendar just as every other Passover lamb being sacrificed to keep
His people from death was.
Here is a
lil chart to make doing the math ... even easier!

Absolutely awesome ... Is God not?
Is it just a
coincidence that just as Jesus ministered for three and a half years that Antichrist's
reign of terror will also last three and a half years?
Satan is
trying to mirror image God's plan.
This brings
us to the Jewish celebrations that are shadows of the End Times.
As you
recall, there are two sets of celebrations in the Jewish one year period. They
are in the first month and the seventh month.
We have
explored the first month and found awesome shadows of Jesus' first visit
... We will now look into the seventh month celebrations which you will find
foretells of the return of Jesus and brings on ... The End Times.
There is a
celebration known as the Feast of Trumpets ... on the first day of
the seventh month where there is a Sabbath (seven days) of blowing of trumpets.
|
Leviticus
23:24-25
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. Ye shall do no servile work therein: but ye shall offer
an offering made by fire unto the LORD.
|
This
celebration will be a shadow of an event to come ...
In the
book of Revelation, there is a time period known as the
TRUMPETS
where Angels blow Seven Trumpets which causes disasters to occur.
There
is a celebration known as the
DAY OF ATONEMENT. On the tenth day of the
seventh month the Jewish people would afflict their souls and offer an offering made
by fire to make atonement for them before the Lord. Whoever's soul was not
afflicted was to be cut off from the people.
|
Leviticus
23:27-32
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. And ye shall do no work in that
same day: for it is a day of atonement, to make an atonement for you
before the LORD your God. For whatsoever soul it be that shall not be
afflicted in that same day, he shall be cut off from among his people.
And whatsoever soul it be that doeth any work in that same day, the
same soul will I destroy from among his people. Ye shall do no manner
of work: it shall be a statute for ever throughout your generations in
all your dwellings. It shall be unto you a Sabbath of rest, and ye
shall afflict your souls: in the ninth day of the month at even, from
even unto even, shall ye celebrate your Sabbath.

This
celebration will be a shadow of an event to come ...
The
purpose of the End Times is to bring the Christians through fire to test and
prove them worthy. The events of the End Times will certainly accomplish this.
There
is a celebration known as the FEAST OF TABERNACLES. On the fifteenth day
of the seventh month there is a gathering of the Firstfruits of the land.
It even says in Leviticus that this event will be a statute that is
to be kept forever and is to be celebrated in the seventh month.
|
Leviticus
23:34-44
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. On the first day shall be an
holy convocation: ye shall do no servile work therein. Seven days ye
shall offer an offering made by fire unto the LORD: on the eighth day
shall be an holy convocation unto you; and ye shall offer an offering
made by fire unto the LORD: it is a solemn assembly; and ye shall do
no servile work therein. These are the feasts of the LORD, which ye
shall proclaim to be holy convocations, to offer an offering made by
fire unto the LORD, a burnt offering, and a meat offering, a
sacrifice, and drink offerings, every thing upon his day: Beside the
Sabbaths of the LORD, and beside your gifts, and beside all your vows,
and beside all your freewill offerings, which ye give unto the LORD.
Also in the fifteenth day of the seventh month, when ye have gathered
in the fruit of the land, ye shall keep a feast unto the LORD seven
days: on the first day shall be a Sabbath, and on the eighth day shall
be a Sabbath. And ye shall take you on the first day the boughs of
goodly trees, branches of palm trees, and the boughs of thick trees,
and willows of the brook; and ye shall rejoice before the LORD your
God seven days. And ye shall keep it a feast unto the LORD seven days
in the year. It shall be a statute for ever in your generations: ye
shall celebrate it in the seventh month. Ye shall dwell in booths
seven days; all that are Israelites born shall dwell in booths: That
your generations may know that I made the children of Israel to dwell
in booths, when I brought them out of the land of Egypt: I am the LORD
your God. And Moses declared unto the children of Israel the feasts of
the LORD.

This
celebration will be a shadow of an event to come ...
The
event in the End Times known as the Rapture is also called the Gathering and
Jesus calls the 144,000 Jewish men that He sealed to protect His Firstfruit.
|
Revelation
14:4
These are they which were not
defiled with women; for they are virgins. These are they which follow
the Lamb whithersoever He goeth. These were redeemed from among men,
being the Firstfruits unto God and to the Lamb.
|
There
is a time period in the End Times that matches these celebrations perfectly. It
is during and at the end of the Trumpets. This will be the Jewish time of
testing and the Rapture of the Jewish believers.
If you study
the End Times ... This reveals that since the Antichrist's reign of terror ends
and the Jewish people are Raptured at the Seventh Trumpet, this will be in the
Jewish seventh month.

Rapture
The event in the End Times
known as the RAPTURE is also called the
GATHERING, when
Jesus calls the 144,000 Jewish men that He sealed to protect His
Firstfruit.
Revelation
14:4
It’s also very important to
note that there are two first fruits celebrations in the year, and
likewise there will be two raptures. It is God, “harvesting” or
gathering
His own Firstfruits. First He will gather the Gentiles, then He
will gather the Jewish.
*See NOTE
below.
|
|
*NOTE: How
do you know the first Rapture is for the Gentiles? Revelation
7:9 describes those who are "Raptured." It says they
are people from all nations, kindreds, people and tongues ... which is
the definition of Gentiles. Then in Revelation
15:2, God gathers His Firstfruits, which are Jewish. Why the
Gentiles first? Because the Jewish people had the opportunity to
accept Jesus as their Lord, and they crucified Him instead. Now
they'll encounter antichrist and many will accept
him
as their lord, and many will find
TRUTH before the End. Notice that in the first "rapture"
there is no mention of Antichrist. This is because the Gospel (TRUTH
of Jesus) wasn't taught to the Gentiles, as for them to be able to
accept Him as their Lord until after Jesus' death and Resurrection
(the Time of the Gentiles), so they don't have to experience
antichrist. Also, Jesus said, The first will be last and the last will
be first. There is a time period in the End Times that matches these
celebrations perfectly. It is during and at then end of the Trumpets.
This will be the Jewish time of testing and the Rapture of Jewish
believers.

Antichrist reigns terror for three and a half years as confirmed in the
END TIMES.
Sooooo, his reign of terror starts ...
AT PASSOVER
Which
is in the first month of the Jewish year.
This
is just the opposite or
anti of Jesus Christ, who
started His ministry at the seventh month celebrations and died for our sins at
Passover during the first month celebrations. How appropriate, that Satan will
start his reign at the same time of year that Jesus' ministry ended, making it
appear to the unaware as if he's taking over. This also shows us that if the End
Times last for seven years, and it ends in the seventh month, then it will also
have to begin in the seventh month of the Jewish year as well.
Now,
take a look at what Daniel wrote:
|
Daniel
12:12
Blessed is he that waiteth and cometh to the thousand three hundred
and five and thirty (1335) days.
|
That's
seventy five days after the three and a half years of the reign of antichrist.
Well,
it just so happens that seventy five days after the Day of Atonement is the
celebration of Hanukkah, which is the Jewish celebration of the ousting of
Antiochus Epiphanes. This evil man had the spirit of Antichrist (just as John
the Baptist had the spirit of Elijah). So we have another Feast Shadow
represented by Hanukkah, of antichrist being ousted in the End Times. You could
say that Antiochus was a shadow of Antichrist. What does that have to do with
me? You may be asking yourself. Well, during the second three and a half years,
called THE GREAT TRIBULATION of the End Times, which is when
Antichrist reigns, the believers in Jesus will be hidden in the wilderness.
After three and a half years of abiding in the wild, as you can imagine, most
anyone would be anxious to come out of hiding, assuming that all is safe, but
Daniel warns ...
Blessed is he who waits seventy five more days.

Jesus stayed forty days after
He resurrected and then was taken up to Heaven. It was ten days after
His ascension, which would make it fifty days from the day Jesus was
Resurrected, that about one hundred twenty believers encountered the
Holy Spirit which gave them gifts such as the ability to speak in
tongues and they saw tongues of fire come upon them.

There is also a feast known as the Jubilee which happens every fiftieth year. It
begins on the Day of Atonement, which will be the day that Antichrist's reign
will end, and it is a celebration of liberty throughout all the land.
