seventh month leaves provision for the present dispensation. The rest of the
dispensational purpose as foreshadowed in Israel's ceremonial year will be fulfilled as
surely as were the four feasts from Passover to Pentecost.
Trumpets.
"He shall send His angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and shall gather together
His elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other" (Matt. 24: 31).
"We shall be changed, in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump"
(I Cor. 15: 51, 52).
"For the Lord Himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the
archangel, and with the trump of God" (I Thess. 4: 16).
"In the days of the voice of the seventh angel, when he shall begin to sound, the
mystery of God should be finished, as He hath declared to His servants the prophets"
(Rev. 10: 7).
Day of atonement.
"Ye shall afflict your souls" (Lev. 23: 27).
"I will pour upon the house of David and upon the inhabitants of Jerusalem, the spirit
of grace and of supplications; and they shall look upon Me Whom they have pierced, and
they shall mourn for Him, as one mourneth for his only son . . . . . the land shall mourn,
every family apart" (Zech. 12: 10-14).
"Behold He cometh with the clouds; and every eye shall see Him, and they also
which pierced Him, and all the tribes of the land shall wail because of Him" (Rev. 1: 7).
"Christ has . . . . . entered into heaven itself . . . . . and unto them that look for Him
shall He appear the second time without sin unto salvation" (Heb. 9: 24-28).
Tabernacles.
"I will remove the iniquity of that land in one day. In that day, saith the Lord of
Hosts, shall ye call every man his neighbour under the vine and under the fig tree"
(Zech. 3: 9, 10).
"They shall beat their swords into ploughshares . . . . .they shall sit every man under
his vine and under his fig tree; and none shall make them afraid" (Micah 4: 3, 4).
"I will go up to the land of unwalled villages, I will go to them that are at rest, that
dwell safely, all of them dwelling without walls, and having neither bars nor gates . . . . ."
(Ezek. 38:, 39:).
The Ingathering.
"The feast of the ingathering, which is in the end of the year, when thou hast gathered
in thy labours out of the field" (Exod. 23: 16).
The LXX here reads: "the sunteleia" where the A.V. reads: "the feast of the
ingathering". This is referred to by the disciples in Matt. 24:: "Tell us when shall
these things be? And what shall be the sign of Thy coming, and of the sunteleia of the
age?"
The Eighth Day of the Feast.
"In the last day, that great day of the feast, Jesus stood and cried saying, If any man
thirst, let him come unto Me and drink. He that believeth on Me, as the Scripture hath
said, out of His belly shall flow rivers of living waters. But this He spake of the Spirit"
(John 7: 37-39).
