which is why I'm asking you to support your assumption. If you can't support it, at least admit it's only your theory and not a fact.
These are not theories, these are theological issues that must be answered in order for your interpretations to work.
I gave you verse and chapter (numbers 29:12-40) about the sin offering requirements of the feast of tabernacles. I provided scripture (Matthew 5:18) that shows that not one jot or iota of the law will not change until heaven and earth pass away. So let's break it down:
The feast of Tabernacles, as stated in Numbers 29:12-40, requires a sin offering for each day of the festival.
And
Jesus states not one iota or jot will change from the law until heaven and earth have passed away, (Matthew 5:18)
Therefore
the way that the feast of tabernacles and animal sacrifices ( including SIN OFFERINGs) can be celebrated cannot be different until heaven and earth pass away.
However,
You are saying that the sacrifice during the feast of tabernacles will have a different purpose in the future literal 1000 year reign of Christ, meaning it will no longer be a sin offering. The burden of proof is on you, as you made the claim that it will be different than what scripture says the original feast of tabernacles is about. you, as well as other posters, have provided no evidence that the purpose of future animal sacrifices will change. You have also not provided evidence that this new purpose will be for the remembrance of Christ.
So, will the earthly 1000 year literal millennial kingdom take place during the old heavens and earth, or new heavens and earth?
As far as when it is, let's read the surrounding context to find out:
Verses 2 and 3. Has the Lord gather the armies against Jerusalem then Himself go out and fight, conquering those armies? Nope.
Verse 4. Has the Lord planted His feet on the Mount of Olives yet, splitting it into two yet. Nope.
Verse 8. Are there waters flowing out of Jerusalem yet, half to the east and half to the west yet? Nope. Is the summer there the same weather as the winter? Nope.
Verse 10. Has the whole land surrounding Jerusalem been lowered to the level of a great plain yet? Nope.
Verse 11. Has Jerusalem come to a point where it will live in a perpetual state of security forever? Nope.
Verse 16. Do all the families of the nations go up to Jerusalem each year to celebrate the Feast of Booths yet? Nope.
Seems yet to be fulfilled to me.
Many old testament prophecies use apocalyptic language which should not always be interpreted literally.
