While researching for Lulav's new thread,
What is True Messianic Breaking of Bread?
I came across this article. http://ffoz.org/blogs/2013/04/what_is_the_meal_of_messiah_pa.html
In it there was something that caught my eye.
In Hebrew, the seventh day of the feast of Unleavened Bread is called Acharon Shel Pesach (אחרון של פסח), which means "The Last [Day] of Passover." Like the first day of the festival, the last day is also a high Sabbath:
On the first day you shall hold a holy assembly, and on the seventh day a holy assembly. No work shall be done on those days. (Exodus 12:16)
In traditional Judaism, Diaspora Jews double each of the high Sabbaths, so for most Orthodox Jews living outside of Israel, the last day of Passover is two days long--a seventh day and an eighth day. Like many other Messianic Jews, my family follows the Israeli reckoning of the calendar, so our last day of Passover is always the seventh day of Unleavened Bread.
We find allusion to the importance of this last day in Torah. In Deuteronomy 16:8 we read, "On the seventh day there shall be a solemn assembly to the LORD your God. You shall do no work on it." The other festivals in the Torah are called "a solemn assembly to you." Only the last day of Passover is referred to as "a solemn assembly to the LORD."
It was the "last day of Passover is referred to as "a solemn assembly to the Lord" part. Being a person with a serious interest in all things regarding the Lord's return. This part jumped out at me.
What could be the significance? There is no history of fulfillment, is there?
