God spoke the Feasts of the Lord to Moses (Lev. 23:1-44). These seven Feasts highlight the redemptive career of the Messiah. They represent appointed times when God will meet with man. Only by understanding the purposes of these holy convocations can one understand the Messiah's first and second coming. During His second coming Jesus will fulfill the three fall feasts. During the Feast of Trumpets, the Messiah will deliver the righteous before destroying the wicked (Mat. 24:29-39, Lev. 23:24:-25). The prophets call it the day of the Lord (Joel 2:30-31, 2 Pet 3:10). The trumpet of God will initiate these back-to-back events; deliverance then wrath (Joel 2:1-11, Mat. 24:30-31, 37-39, 1 Thes. 4:15-17).

During the Day of Atonement the Messiah will physically return for the salvation of Israel (Lev. 23:27-32, Rom. 11:25-27). The Holy One is coming back to finish the mystery of God (Rev. 10:1-7).

During the Feast of Tabernacles the Lord will gather His first fruits before His wrath destroys the wicked (Lev. 23:34-36, Rev. 14:1-4; 16:1-21). The kingdom of Israel will be restored on the first day of Christ's reign over the nations (Acts 1:6, Rev. 20:6) The Lamb will descend with His bride to a new earth inside a new heaven (Rev. 21:1-10).
