(Immediately following the Feast of Tabernacles comes the 'Last Great Day'. (Lev 23:36) This is the seventh annual holy day in God's seasonal plan, and falls on the 22nd day of the seventh month.
The Feast of Tabernacles acknowledges that we are in a temporary dwelling, but it looks ahead to the Permanent dwelling place in God's Kingdom.)
(The first resurrection of all the 'dead in Christ' occurs at the last trump, at the exact moment of Christ's second coming.) 1Cor 15:50-52, 1Thes 4:17, Matt 24:31
Rev 20:4
"And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and judgment was given them; and I saw the souls {Greek: psuche, meaning spirit, or lives} of them that were beheaded for the witness of Jesus, and for the Word of God, and which had not worshipped the beast, neither his image, neither had recieved his mark upon their foreheads, or in their hands; and they lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years."
Rev 2:26, & 3:21
"And he that overcometh, and keepeth my works unto the end, to him will I give power over the nations...To him that overcometh will I grant to sit with me in my throne, even as I also overcame and am set down with my Father in His throne."
(Therefore, the 'first fruits unto the Lamb' as pictured by the Feast of Firstfruits or Pentecost will "live and rule over the nations with Christ' for one thousand years, which is foreshadowed by the Feast of Tabernacles.)
Rev 20:5
"But the rest of the dead lived not again until the thousand years were finished."
(Judgment is not sentencing! The rest of the dead includes the entirety of the human race who are not among the 'dead in Christ.'
It includes the vast majority of all human beings who have ever lived.
This is the last resurrection.
All of these millions of human beings will be resurrected at the end of the millennial reign of Christ and will be given an opportunity for salvation.
This is what is pictured by the 'Last Great Day'. It logically follows immediately after the Feast of Tabernacles, which foreshadows, in many ways the Kingdom of God.)
Rev 20: 11-15
"And I saw a great white throne, and him that sat on it, from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away; and there was found no place for them.
And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; and the books were opened; and another book was opened, which is the book of life; and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works.
And the sea gave up the dead which were in it; and death and hell delivered up the dead which were in them: and they were judged every man according to their works.
And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death.
And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire."
("biblos", the Greek word for book. It is only when the word "holy" is placed with the word "book" that it connotes the Bible. These are the 'books' which human beings are to be judged out of. They are nothing more than the books of the Bible.)
(Today, professing Christians reject God's Holy days and observe the ancient pagan holidays, though many believe the days and customs to be Christian. Yet doing so with the symbols of heathenism. This is the very thing that got ancient Israel into so much trouble. God does not take lightly to the using of pagan symbols in worship to Him.) |
