Which things also we speak, not in the words which man's wisdom teacheth, but which the Holy Ghost teacheth ; comparing spiritual things with spiritual .”

The 7 Feasts of the Lord”God’s Appointed Times”

Page 8: The Genesis-Revelation Connection

Col. 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.”

The period of time from Pentecost to Feast of Trumpets represents the Church Age or the Dispensation of GRACE.

1 Thess. 4:16-17 “For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first: Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together [harpazo] with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.” 

1 Cor. 5:7-8 “For even Christ our passover is sacrificed for us: therefore let us keep the feast, not with old leaven, neither with the leaven of malice and wickedness; but with the unleavened bread of sincerity and truth.” 

1 Cor. 15:20, 23 “But now is Christ risen from the dead, and become the firstfruits of them that slept . But every man in his own order: Christ the firstfruits; afterward they that are Christ's at his coming.” 

1 Cor. 15:52 “In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.”

Hosea 9:10 “I found Israel like grapes in the wilderness; I saw your fathers as the firstripe in the fig tree at her first time.”

 

Jeremiah 24:1-3, 5-6 “The Lord shewed me, and, behold, two baskets of figs were set before the temple of the Lord…One basket had very good figs, even like the figs that are first ripe : and the other basket had very naughty figs. Thus saith the Lord, the God of Israel; Like these good figs…I will set mine eyes upon them for good, and I will bring them again to this land : and I will build them, and not pull them down; and I will plant them, and not pluck them up.”

 

Song of Solomon 2:13 “The fig tree putteth forth her green figs , and the vines with the tender grape give a good smell. Arise, my love, my fair one, and come away.”

Matthew 24:32-35 “Now learn a parable of the fig tree; When his branch is yet tender, and putteth forth leaves, ye know that summer is nigh: So likewise ye, when ye shall see all these things, know that it is near, even at the doors . Verily I say unto you, This generation shall not pass , till all these things be fulfilled . Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away.” 

Mark 11:12-14 & 20-21 “And on the morrow, when they were come from Bethany, he was hungry: And seeing a fig tree afar off having leaves, he came, if haply he might find any thing thereon: and when he came to it, he found nothing but leaves; for the time of figs was not yet . And Jesus answered and said unto it, No man eat fruit of thee hereafter for ever. And his disciples heard it. And in the morning, as they passed by, they saw the fig tree dried up from the roots . And Peter calling to remembrance saith unto him, Master, behold, the fig tree which thou cursed is withered away .” (See also Matt. 21:18-20) 

Luke 13:6-9 “He spake also this parable; A certain man had a fig tree planted in his vineyard; and he came and sought fruit thereon, and found none . Then said he unto the dresser of his vineyard, Behold, these three years I come seeking fruit on this fig tree, and find none: cut it down;”

Isaiah 66:7-8 “Before she travailed, she brought forth ; before her pain came, she was delivered of a man child. Who hath heard such a thing? who hath seen such things? Shall the earth be made to bring forth in one day? or shall a nation be born at once? for as soon as Zion travailed, she brought forth her children.”

Jeremiah 25:11 “And this whole land shall be a desolation, and an astonishment; and these nations shall serve the king of Babylon seventy years .”

Ezekiel 4:5-6 “For I have laid upon thee the years of their iniquity , according to the number of the days, three hundred and ninety days [390 yrs] : so shalt thou bear the iniquity of the house of Israel . And when thou hast accomplished them, lie again on thy right side, and thou shalt bear the iniquity of the house of Judah forty days [40 yrs] : I have appointed thee each day for a year .”

Leviticus 26:18, 21, 24, 28 “And if ye will not yet for all this hearken unto me, then I will punish you seven times more for your sins. And if ye walk contrary unto me, and will not hearken unto me; I will bring seven times more plagues upon you according to your sins. Then will I also walk contrary unto you, and will punish you yet seven times for your sins. Then I will walk contrary unto you also in fury; and I, even I, will chastise you seven times for your sins.”

Babylonian Captivity (70 Years) – From 605 BC to 536 BC

390 Yrs + 40 Yrs = 430 Yrs – 70 Yrs = 360 Yrs x 7 = 2,520 Yrs (Lunar) = 2,483.8 Yrs (S)

2483.8 Yrs – 536.4 BC = 1947.4 + 1 = 1948.4 –or– May 14, 1948

Daniel 12:4 “And they that be wise shall shine as the brightness of the firmament; and they that turn many to righteousness as the stars for ever and ever. But thou, O Daniel, shut up the words, and seal the book, even to the time of the end: many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall be increased .” 

Matthew 16:2-4 “O ye hypocrites, ye can discern the face of the sky; but can ye not discern the signs of the times?”  

Luke 21:11 “And great earthquakes shall be in divers places, and famines, and pestilences; and fearful sights and great signs shall there be from heaven.” 

Luke 21:25 “And there shall be signs in the sun, and in the moon, and in the stars; and upon the earth distress of nations, with perplexity; the sea and the waves roaring.”

Discerning the Times”Knowledge Shall Be Increased”

Page 17: The Genesis-Revelation Connection

Joel 2:28-31 “And I will shew wonders in the heavens and in the earth , blood, and fire, and pillars of smoke. The sun shall be turned into darkness , and the moon into blood, before the great and terrible day of the LORD come.” 

1 Thess. 5:1-9 “But of the times and the seasons, brethren, ye have no need that I write unto you. For yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so cometh as a thief in the night. For when they shall say, Peace and safety; then sudden destruction cometh upon them, as travail upon a woman with child; and they shall not escape. But ye, brethren, are not in darkness, that that day should overtake you as a thief . For God hath not appointed us to wrath, but to obtain salvation by our Lord Jesus Christ .” 

Revelation 3:2-3 “Wake up! Strengthen what remains and is about to die, for I have found your deeds unfinished in the sight of my God. Remember, therefore, what you have received and heard; hold it fast, and repent. But if you do not wake up, I will come like a thief, and you will not know at what time I will come to you.”

Discerning the Times”Knowledge Shall Be Increased”

Page 18: The Genesis-Revelation Connection

Daniel 9:25 “Know therefore and understand, that from the going forth of the commandment to restore and to build Jerusalem unto the Messiah the Prince shall be seven weeks [49] , and threescore and two weeks [434] : the street shall be built again, and the wall , even in troublous times.” 

Nehemiah 2:1-3 “In the month of Nisan in the twentieth year of King Artaxerxes , when wine was brought for him, I took the wine and gave it to the king.”

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 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.”

Xerxes was assassinated in the fall of 465 BC. Therefore, Artaxerxes took the throne in late 465 BC and the 20th Nisan would have been in 444 BC; the decree was likely issued on March 5, 444 BC and ended with the Triumphal Entry (Matt. 21:1-9).

69 Weeks x 7 = 483 Years x 360 Days per Lunar Year = 173,880 Days 173,880 Days / 365.2422 Days per Solar Year = 476.068 Years (Solar) 476 Years – 444 BC = 32 + 1 (no “0” year) = 33 AD + 25 Days = 3/30/33 AD The TRIUMPHAL ENTRY of MESSIAH the PRINCE was on March 30, 33 AD The PASSOVER CRUCIFIXION occurred 4 Days later on Friday, April 3, 33 AD

 

The Daniel Factor”That Which Has Been”

Luke 19:43-45 “For the days shall come upon thee…and they shall not leave in thee one stone upon another; because thou knewest not the time of thy visitation. ”  

Ecc. 1:9-10 “The thing that hath been, it is that which shall be ; and that which is done is that which shall be done: and there is no new thing under the sun .”

Is there a parallel to Daniel's 69 Weeks Prophecy?

Daniel 2:30 “But as for me, this secret is not revealed to me for any wisdom that I have more than any living, but for their sakes that shall make known the interpretation to the king, and that thou mightest know the thoughts of thy heart .” 

Ezekiel 3:17-18 “Son of man, I have made thee a watchman unto the house of Israel: therefore hear the word at my mouth, and give them warning from me. When I say unto the wicked, Thou shalt surely die; and thou givest him not warning, nor speakest to warn the wicked from his wicked way , to save his life; the same wicked man shall die in his iniquity; but his blood will I require at thine hand.”
