Everything is a Prophetic Picture

Did you know that pretty much everything God does is a prophetic picture of what is to come?  He does this so we can look back and realize just how pervasive His plan is.  Abraham called to sacrifice his son Isaac on the altar was a prophetic picture of God sacrificing His own Son.  The very first Passover in Egypt was a prophetic picture with the lamb's blood covering the doorways for the Angel of Death to "pass over" them.  It was a picture of Christ's blood atonement, the Lamb of God.

But did you know the ancient Jewish wedding AND the Jewish Feasts are also prophetic pictures?  Did you know that Christ is fulfilling the Feasts?  The Feast of Passover, He was killed.  The Feast of Unleavened Bread, He was in the tomb.  The Feast of First Fruits, He rose from the dead.  And Pentacost is when He sent His Holy Spirit down to His church.

So what feasts are next?  The Feast of Trumpets (Rosh Hoshanah), The Feast of Atonement, and the Feast of Tabernacles.  Many scholars believe the Rapture will be the fulfillment of Rosh Hoshanah, the Feast of Trumpets.

The Feast of Atonement would be a picture of Judgment.  And the Feast of Tabernacles would be living forever with the Lord.  (I'm paraphrasing, I might find more videos on this.)

Here are three awesome videos on the subject if you want to really dig into it.  They're by a pastor named Perry Stone, a very passionate man that I love to listen to.  It's a 23 minute teaching on the Jewish wedding and Rosh Hoshanah, and how they parallel the picture of the Rapture.  The first two videos are 10 minutes each.  The third video is over 8 minutes, but the teaching itself ends at 3 minutes in, so only 23 minutes.  I encourage you to watch the whole thing.  It really opened my eyes to a lot of things.  I hope it helps to open yours.
