THE RELATIONSHIP OF BIBLICAL HOLIDAYS TO THE FIRST AND THE SECOND COMING OF MASHIACH AND SHABAT

Biblical festivals

Biblical festivals are closely linked to the coming of the Messiah. He is the target of the Torah, with its manifestation.  And it is written in the mind and heart of those who receive him.

Another relevant factor

It is that Bible feasts are at the same time a prophetic memorial. A memorial in that they recall a remarkable event in the relationship between his servants, the Jewish people. They are prophetic in that they point to the first and second coming of Mashiach.

If the memorial aspect marked the people of Israel, the prophetic aspect will mark Israel and all the nations of the earth. Within this concept, we would say that the first biblical feasts were filled with the arrival of Mashiach. Except Shabbat, which par excellence is the fullness of fullness.

With the arrival of Mashiach, this feast is complete. All those who trust his words and receive his testimony are free from the second death. By the blood that he, the Son of God, spilled on the tree.

Matzot (unleavened bread)

It marks the departure of the people of Israel from Egypt, remembering the poor unleavened bread, the matsa they had to eat because they left in a hurry and the bread did not ferment. With the arrival of Mashiach, we are free from the leaven of sin.

Shavuot (Pentecost – weeks)

It marks the delivery of the Torah to the people of Israel, when there was a very intense presence of the spirit of G’us. After the resurrection of Mashiach, the apostles were in Jerusalem at this feast, when once again there was an intentional presence of the spirit of the Eternal.

There is a direct correlation of these two facts, as we read in Jeremiah 31:33 and Ezekiel 36:27, because in both cases there is the gift of language where the message is given in several languages and also because if the law was established in the presence of the spirit of the Eternal, it can only be fulfilled by the action of the spirit of God in people. The law is written in the hearts and minds of those who receive the spirit of God. As a result, this feast also reached its fullness with the first coming of Mashiach.

Thus we had the first three feasts, except Shabbat, which in the end will have special attention. These feasts, as we have already mentioned, are related to the first coming of Mashiach and the gospel message (good news) of God’s grace. In other words, at the first coming of Mashiach, the emphasis was placed on personal liberation and the establishment of the Kingdom of God in the hearts of those who approach it in an attitude of sincere and total surrender. Now we will enter the second cycle of festivals, which is related to the second coming of Mashiach.

Easter

Easter is the fourteenth day of the month of Nissan. The matzot begins with the Easter dinner and continues for seven days with abstinence from food containing yeast. There is an interval, and only in the seventh month begins the new cycle of feasts, which in turn interconnect and happen all in the same month. This interval points to the time between the first and second coming of Mashiach.

The second coming has a different emphasis from the first, although it is part of the same Eternal plan. If at the first coming of Mashiach, the kingdom of G-d was preached with an emphasis on personal redemption, at the second coming the emphasis will be on redemption of the earth. Mashiach returns to take over the world government, to overcome the enemies of Israel and reign in Jerusalem over all the land.

The biblical festivals are closely linked to the coming of the Messiah. He is the target of the Torah, with its manifestation.
