Matthew 5:18 ~ For I tell you truly, until heaven and earth pass away, not a single jot, not a stroke of a pen, will disappear from the Law
until everything is accomplished.
Quoting Michael Krall:
"In Leviticus 27:34 the last verse in the book says this “These are the commandments, which the LORD commanded Moses for the children of Israel in mount Sinai.”
It is in the book of Leviticus that the ceremonial aspects of the law is clearly laid out. In chapter 23 we read of the 7 feast days which is what we hope to focus on in looking at the fulfilling of the law.
Lets look at the 7 feast days and see when they were or will be fulfilled. There were 4 spring feasts and 3 fall feasts.
Lets look at them in
Leviticus 23.
5 In the fourteenth day of the first month at even is the LORD’S Passover. And on the fifteenth day of the same month is the feast of unleavened bread unto the LORD: seven days ye must eat unleavened bread.
Here we have the first 2 feasts Passover and the feast of unleavened bread.
The Passover clearly pointed to Christ’s sacrifice on the cross. But that is the only feast day that points to the cross so how can the whole of the law be fulfilled at the cross?
The feast of unleavened bread, leaven typifies corruption, pointed to his burial where his body was prophesied to not see corruption
Psalm 16:10. this followed the next day in the Jewish calendar as it followed in the fulfillment seeing Christ was not only our Passover
1Cor 5:7 he not only died on Passover but was buried on the feast of unleavened bread.
Next is the feast of first fruits:
Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, When ye be come into the land which I give unto you, and shall reap the harvest thereof, then ye shall bring a sheaf of the firstfruits of your harvest unto the priest:
This feast alone should forever put to rest the notion that the law was fulfilled at the cross since it points to the resurrection of Christ, He being the “first fruits of them that slept 1Cor 15:20.” Christ again followed the type to a tee. He was raised on the feast of first fruits
Lev 23:11 And he shall wave the sheaf before the LORD, to be accepted for you: on
the morrow after the sabbath the priest shall wave it. Again Christ filled the type to a tee.
Next is the feast of weeks which was 50 days from the first fruits:
15 ¶ And ye shall count unto you from the morrow after the sabbath, from the day that ye brought the sheaf of the wave offering; seven sabbaths shall be complete: 16 Even unto the morrow after the seventh sabbath shall ye number fifty days; and ye shall offer a new meat offering unto the LORD.
This was obviously fulfilled at Pentecost as recorded in Acts 2. Just as the Spirit was given on Pentecost and the Church was born and 3000 were make spiritually alive in conversion this filled the type to a tee as well. It was on the feast of Pentecost that the nation of Israel was born and 3000 died." ~ Michael Krall
