Time Line
Parallels |
Annual High Holy Day or Holiday |
Historical Messianic Parallel |
Notes |
Spring Festivals |
The start of a time line here might include Sukkot wherein Messiah enters the scene (appears on Earth by a special birth; Isaiah 7:14; Isaiah 9:6) and walks the earth to the time of His ministry. |
Pesach Hag haMatzah |
Messiah's sacrifice Accounts of Passover: Luke 2:41; John 5:1, 6:4; Acts 12:3-4; Matthew 26; Luke 22; ''Messiah became our Passover'' John 1:29; 1 Corinthians 5:7 |
Holiday fulfilled (Daniel 9:27) Theme: redemption (See Creator's Window Chapter 16) Kasdan states: ''Slaying the lamb at Passover foreshadowed the greater redemption found in God's appointed lamb, the Messiah.'' (See 2 Corinthians 5: 6-8) |
Feast of First Fruits Early First Fruits Barley Harvest Counting of the Sheaf Leviticus 23:9-14 |
Messiah's resurrection 1 Corinthians 15:20, 23 |
Holiday fulfilled. Also known as Yom HaBikkurim |
Shavuot (Feast of Weeks, Pentecost) Leviticus 23: 15-21 |
Giving of Ruach HaKodesh (the Spirit that is Holy) Acts 2:1-5, 12. |
Holiday fulfilled. Birth of a nation; Giving of Torah (Law) to Israel; Birth of church (specifically believers in Messiah) Kasdan notes: ''This synchronizes with promises in Scripture of latter-day messianic Jewish revival. Increasing numbers of Jewish people will believe in Yeshua until in the final day 'all Israel will be saved (Romans 11:26).' '''' |
Four month harvest period |
The Church (bringing in of believers
from the giving of the Spirit to the 'meeting with Messiah in the air') |
This period of time is integral to the time line presented here. Before the next harvest there is growth of the body of those to be harvested. |
Fall Festivals |
Rosh HaShana |
Gathering with Messiah (actual calendar
date of anticipated rapture? It's a possibility) 1 Thessalonians 4:17 |
Holiday as yet to be fulfilled Many commentaries suggest this event precedes the seven year tribulation period (See Table 2) WindowView message based on Rosh HaShana |
Yom Kippur (Day of Atonement) Zechariah 12:10-13:9 |
Time of Jacob's Trouble Tribulation |
Holiday as yet to be fulfilled; seven year tribulation period (See Table 2) WindowView message based on Yom Kippur. |
Sukkot or Succoth (Feast of Tabernacles Feast of Booths) Zechariah 14 |
Birth of Messiah: This starts the Messianic sequence with a time of ministry - to teach and prepare the world for each step that lies ahead |
Holiday fulfilled. God incarnate resides with humanity for a time... that is, God 'tabernacles' with Israel. This is a foreshadow of Messiah's residing with believers as depicted in next box below.... |
|
Following Messiah's return (second coming); Yeshua resides with believing peoples in the millennial Kingdom where He reigns as King over all. |
Holiday as yet to be fulfilled; follows directly after seven year tribulation period (See Table 2) |
The sequence of holy days based on Leviticus 23 is complete at this point. Hanukah is included because of the foreshadow significance of events linked to this holiday and the Messianic time line depicted above. |
Hanukah* (Feast of Dedication) |
Historically important, preparing the Temple in advance of the Messiah's arrival (especially in advance of the years of ministry which included visits to and events at the Temple in Jerusalem) can be linked to the Macabees struggle and dedication of the Temple after its desecration by Antiochus Epiphanes |
Holiday fulfilled |
