The four spring feasts point to Jesus's first coming and are covered in this post. The three fall feasts, described in Leviticus 23:23-44, look forward to His Second Coming. This video explores the profound significance of these three feasts. The Feast of Trumpets (Rosh Hashanah) symbolizes the Rapture, where Jesus gathers His church; the Day of Atonement (Yom Kippur) looks ahead to the Tribulation and "the Wrath of the Lamb"; and the Feast of Tabernacles or Booths (Succoth) signifies the Millennium when Jesus will "tabernacle" among us.

My last post examined the first four spring feasts, and in this post, I will examine the last three fall feasts. I want to capture the transition between the spring and fall feasts.

The Spring Feasts Reveal the Lamb of God, and the Fall Feasts Reveal the Lion of the Tribe of Judah

If I worded this heading differently, it would be, “The spring feasts reveal the Suffering Servant, and the fall feasts reveal the Coming King.”

God often uses animals to picture kingdoms. For example:

In Jeremiah 5 and 49, a lion and eagle represent Babylon.

In Ezekiel 17 and 19, an eagle and crocodile represent Egypt.

Probably most famously, in Daniel 7:

A lion represents Babylon

A bear represents Medo-Persia

A leopard represents Greece

And a fourth, monstrous beast represents Rome

God also uses animals two animals to represent Christ’s Kingdom, and we see them in the seven feasts:

The four spring feasts looked forward to Jesus’s First Coming as the Lamb of God.

The three fall feasts look forward to Jesus’s Second Coming as the Lion of the Tribe of Judah.

Just as the first four feasts go together and looked forward to Jesus’s First Coming, the three fall feasts go together and look forward to Jesus’s Second Coming. They all occur within about 20 days of each other: Tishri 1 to Tishri 21 or September 21 to October 11.

The Six-Month “Gap” Between the Spring and Fall Feasts Represents the Church Age

Leviticus 23:5 IN THE FIRST MONTH, on the fourteenth day of the month at twilight, is the Lord's Passover.

Passover occurred in the first month.

Leviticus 23:23 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying, 24 “Speak to the people of Israel, saying, IN THE SEVENTH MONTH, on the first day of the month, you shall observe a day of solemn rest, a memorial proclaimed with blast of trumpets, a holy convocation.

This is the fifth feast, Trumpets, which occurred “in the seventh month.” So, there is a six-month gap between the spring and fall feasts of the Lord. They are separated by as much time as possible. If the feasts were any further apart, they would be closer together on the other end of the calendar. This six-month gap represents the church age or “gap” between Jesus’s two comings.

I use the word “gap” because if you’re familiar with Daniel’s Seventy Weeks, this gap should make you think of the “gap” between Daniel’s 69th and 70th weeks.

The First Fall Feast of the Lord, Trumpets, Looks Forward to the Rapture When Jesus Gathers His Church

Leviticus 23:23 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying, 24 “Speak to the people of Israel, saying,
