  1. THE FEASTS OF THE LORDThe grass withers, the flower fades but the word of our God endures forever!

  2. Where Are We Going Today? The Feasts were never meant to be ignored. The Feasts are pictures of Jesus Christ. Jesus said that he came to fulfill the Law. Feast of Trumpets Feast of Atonement Feast of Tabernacles

  3. Heaven and Earth Connections • When a Feast took place on earth, there was something which took place in heaven. Jesus Christ brings heaven and earth together bridging the communication gap brought about by sin. • He Himself said: “all power is given unto Me in Heaven and in Earth (Matt 28:18.) He is our Melchizedek, Priest of the Most High God. Possessor of heaven and earth . He is our “Jacob’s Ladder” which connects heaven and earth.

  4. Heaven and Earth • In Passover as Jesus was sacrificed on the earth, the sun in heaven was darkened by God the Father. • In Unleavened Bread and First Fruits Christ was resurrected from the grave on earth and ascended to heaven presenting Himself as surety for all believers. • In Pentecost , Jesus had ascended to heaven and sent back to earth His Holy Spirit for the waiting disciples, who formed the church the body of Christ, in its conception. • In the Day of Atonement Jesus , entered within the heavenly veil, of the heavenly Sanctuary, and the believers on earth has access to the throne of God.

  5. Heaven and Earth Finally, when the final and last trumpet blows, then Jesus descends from heaven to earth and receives his own to Himself. And at long last “THE TABERNACE OF GOD” will be with men and He will dwell with them. It will indeed be “heaven on earth”.

  6. Ephesians 2:6,7 And God raised us up with Christ and seated us with him in the heavenly realms in Christ Jesus, in order that in the coming ages he might show the incomparable riches of his grace, expressed in his kindness to us in Christ Jesus.

  27. Rosh Hashanah • Head of the Year • New Years Day in ISRAEL • Hebrews had a two sided calendar. Sacred and Civil • The sacred year began at Passover , the civil calendar began with the Feast of Trumpets. • Spiritual Truth is that God’s endings are also new beginnings.

  28. Exodus 19 and I Thessalonians 4 • Exodus 19:16, 19,20. ..there was thunder and lightning , with a thick cloud over the mountain, and a very loud trumpet blast. Everyone in the camp trembled…… As the sound of the trumpet grew louder and louder, Moses spoke and the voice of the Lord answered him. • Exodus 20:18. When the people saw thunder and lightning and heard the trumpet and saw the mountain in smoke, they trembled with fear. • I Thessalonians 4:16. For the Lord himself will come down from heaven, with a loud command, with the voice of the archangel and with the trumpet call of God , and the dead in Christ will rise first.

  29. Commander Of the Army Revelation 19:11-16. Luke 1:68-71. When Zacharias learned that the Messiah was to be born , he declared these words: “Blessed is the Lord God of Israel, for he has visited and redeemed His people, and has raised up a ‘horn of salvation’ for us in the house of His Servant David.”

  30. THE LORD IS A WARRIOR The Lord is a warrior; The Lord is his name. Exodus 15:3. The Lord will march out like a champion, like a warrior he will stir up his zeal; with a shout he will raise the battle cry and will triumph over his enemies. Isaiah 42:13.

  31. HAGGAI 1:14. So the Lord stirred up the spirit of Zerubbabel….and the spirit of Joshua son of Jozadak, the high priest, and the spirit of the whole remnant of the people. They came and began to work on the house of the Lord Almighty, their God. Stir Up = UR oor • To awaken, raise up, to incite, to arouse to action. Occurring about 75 times in the OT, it is used of an eagle stirring up its nest ( Deut 32:11) and of a musical instrument being awakened or warmed up for playing ( Psalm 108:2). In Isa 50:4, the Lord awakens the prophet each morning and “awakens” his ear to hear God’s message. Isaiah 51:9 speaks of the arm of the Lord being awakened or roused into action.

  32. A Call to AWAKE Awake to what?...about what? Key Words for the Feast of Trumpets: Alarm, Shout, Awake, Battle Cry.

  33. Awake to Truth We are called to be salt and light. We are called to love our enemies. We are called to forgive. We are called to be priests and ambassadors. We are called to discern the times. We are called to be warriors. We are called to live in the Holy of Holies.

  34. The Art of Living Consciously Living consciously is a state of being mentally active rather than passive. Living consciously is seeking to be aware of everything that bears on our interests, actions, values, purposes, and goals.

  35. Spiritual Warfare Awake O Sleeper Awake O sleeper, rise from the dead, and Christ will shine on you . Ephesians 5 :14 Let us not be like others, who are asleep, but let us be awake and sober. I Thessalonians 5:6.

  36. EVIL ONE My prayer is not that you take them out of the world but that you protect them from the evil one. John 17:15. We should love one another. Do not be like Cain , who belonged to the evil one and murdered his brother. I John 3:12. We know that we are children of God , and that the whole world is under the control of the evil one. I John 5:19.

  37. SATAN The God of peace will soon crush Satan under your feet. Romans 16:20. Again, the devil took him to a very high mountain and showed him all the kingdoms of the world and their splendor. “All this I will give you,” he said, “if you will bow down and worship me.” Jesus said to him, “Away from me, Satan! For it is written : ‘Worship the Lord your God , and serve him only.’ “ Matthew 4:8.

  38. DEVIL The reason the Son of God appeared was to destroy the work of the devil. I John 3:8. Be alert and of sober mind. Your enemy the devil prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour. I Peter 5:6. Submit yourselves, then, to God. Resist the devil , and he will flee from you. Come near to God and he will come near to you. James 4:7. The great dragon was hurled down- that ancient serpent called the devil, or Satan, who leads the whole world astray. Revelation 12:9.

  39. Demons Jesus healed many who had various diseases. He also drove out many demons.. Mark 1:34. The demons begged Jesus , “ If you drive us out, send us into the herd of pigs.” He said to them, “Go!” Matthew 8:31. You cannot drink the cup of the Lord and the cup of demons too; you cannot have a part in both the Lord’s table and the table of demons. I Corinthians 10:21.
