Fulfillment.
These feasts, convocations are God`s Prophetic Calendar from Calvary to the Kingdom, rule of the Lord through Israel. They are solemn appointed or set time. Some are appointed days and some appointed weeks. Collectively, the feasts of the Lord form the divine appointed calendar with Jerusalem as the meeting place. (Isa. 33: 20)
Passover
This feast foreshadowed the Jewish Messiah as the Passover Lamb. The Hebrew prophet Isaiah spoke of the Messiah in terms of the Passover Lamb and of the greater redemption that He would bring. (Isa. 53) He would be the innocent, pure Lamb upon whom the judgment of God would fall in place of the people. He would be the One who, with great bitterness of suffering and death, would shed His blood to provide the greater deliverance from sin.
The feast of unleavened bread foreshadowed the pure life of the Lord and for us to live in the outworking of that - the power of sin has been broken.(1 Cor. 5: 7 & 8) The first-fruits refer to the Lord rising from the dead. (1 Cor. 15: 20)
The Feast of Weeks - Pentecost.
The Feast of Weeks (49 days) after Firstfruits leads to Pentecost, (50th day) What an amazing fulfilment this was. `Now when the day of Pentecost had fully come, they were all with one accord in one place.....a rushing mighty wind....and they were all filled with the Holy Spirit....` (Acts 2: 1 - 3) And this promise is to all who believe in Jesus. God`s `law,` is now written on our hearts, for Christ fulfilled the Law.
Trumpets
The Feast of Trumpets fulfilment is Israel`s dark day. It occurs at the New Moon when the primary night light of the heavens is darkened. Israel`s prophets repeatedly warned of a coming dark day of judgment. They knew it as `the Day of the Lord,` that terrible period of time at the end of the age when the Lord will pour out His fiery judgment not only upon Israel`s enemies, but upon Israel herself to bring her to repentance and into the New Covenant.
Day of Atonement
Yom Kippur events prophetically points to Messiah`s future work with the nation of Israel. They will occur at Messiah`s coming to establish His ruler through Israel. As a nation Israel will come face to face in repentance with their Messiah - Israel`s national Day of repentance. (Zech. 12: 7 - 14)
Tabernacles
When the Messiah sets up His millennial kingdom rule, He will gather the remnant of Israel back to her land. The righteous among the Gentiles, too, will be gathered to the Lord. They will go up from year to year to celebrate the Feast of Tabernacles - God is with us. (Zech. 14: 16 - 21)
