New Discovery Series by Elder John VanDenburgh
Welcome to the final lecture of the series entitled New Discoveries from Old Manuscripts.
And
I think youre going to find this one of the most exciting adventures of all.
Were going to look at the feasts in relationship to the seventh month of the Jewish year.
The
feasts that relate to end time events and I think youre going to find it as exciting as I
do. In fact,
these things are so important, in the Jewish economy, that they preceded it with a few
days called
Teshuva. The word Teshuva simply means repentance or return to God.
Teshuva, of course, is a tradition and there are good traditions and there are bad
traditions. There
are some traditions that are quite harmful, especially when they replace things of
Scripture. But
there are also traditions that are quite helpful.
Some traditions that youre probably used to is having a song service before the regular
church
service begins. Nothing in the Bible about doing that — thats a good tradition. Another
one,
usually theres a special music just before the sermon. Nothing in the Bible says that,
but it is a
good tradition. And when you see the deaconesses removing the linen from the communion
table, where in the Scripture does it say to do that? Its just a good tradition that
brings us into
solemnity and sacredness and the beauty of the service.
Teshuva is associated with the ancient feast days given to Israel. Especially of the
seventh
month. And the feasts of the seven month do parallel and teach certain events that realize
are
soon to take place. As an example, the judgment of the church involving the sealing of the
144,000. And we know that is followed with a loud cry and the final giving of the message
to
this planet. And in turn thats followed by the close of probation on the world. But its
not over,
yet, because then theres a time for Jacobs trouble. And after the time for Jacobs
trouble is
finally the deliverance. And after the deliverance the second coming.
When it comes to the timing of these events, are they really obvious in the Jewish economy
and
the times thereof? When it comes to that, Ellen White was quite clear. She wrote the words
in
Great Controversy (1888 ed. P. 399) saying:
In like manner, the types which relate to the Second Advent must be fulfilled at
the time pointed out in the symbolic service.
Timing, then, is important and timing was in the symbolic service of the Israelites.
Perhaps we
could look at the context of Ellen Whites statement and get a little more idea of what
shes
talking about. So, lets read the context:
On the 14th day of the first Jewish month the very day and month on which, for
fifteen long centuries, the Passover lamb had been slain, Christ, having eaten the
Passover with His disciples, instituted that feast which was to commemorate His
New Discoveries 2 The Feasts With Last Day Events
own death as the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world. That
same night He was taken by wicked hands, to be crucified and slain. And as the
antitype of the wavesheaf, our Lord was raised from the dead on the third day,
the first-fruits of them that slept...
And then she adds:
In like manner the types which relate to the Second Advent must be fulfilled at
the time pointed out in the symbolic service.
Well, what times were pointed out in the symbolic service and how do they relate to last
day
events? Well, some of the times include Passover or Unleavened Bread, Wavesheaf,
Pentecost,
Trumpets, Day of Atonement, Tabernacles You know what they are. Then, of course, there
were the Sabbaticals and even the Jubilee. All of these things are involved in their
times.
Now, in this lecture, we will be investigating several end-time happenings that can be
seen in the
services conducted during the seventh month. The seventh month had a name, it was called
Tishri. Its appointed times contain prophetic significance that is quite serious. In
fact,
Hebrew tradition went right before this seventh month with that time of repentance called
Teshuva. So, in this hour were going to examine these events and see that they do
parallel last
I haven't had any others complain about the video being bad. And when I watch it is played very well. It may be your computer. please tell me what is wrong exactly.
