Sermon Recap: The Feasts Part 4
If you missed this powerful teaching on the prophetic significance of the biblical feasts, now’s the time to listen and let your heart be stirred for Christ’s return and His complete atoning work.
🔍 What This Message Was About
This sermon unpacks the prophetic and spiritual meaning behind two of Israel’s fall feasts: The Feast of Trumpets (Rosh Hashanah) and The Day of Atonement (Yom Kippur). These feasts point to the return of Christ, the power of atonement through His blood, and the continual call for repentance, preparation, and humility.
The message draws clear connections between Jewish tradition and the ultimate fulfillment found in Jesus Christ — urging believers to walk in readiness and awe, not out of tradition but by Spirit-led conviction.
📌 Key Takeaways You Don’t Want to Miss
1. The Trumpet is a Call to Prepare
Trumpets in Scripture signal war, assembly, judgment, or celebration.
The Feast of Trumpets prophetically points to the rapture of the Church (1 Thess. 4:16–18; 1 Cor. 15:51–52).
We must live every day ready for Christ’s return, purified and watchful.
2. Atonement Requires Blood and Humility
Yom Kippur reminds us of the absolute necessity of blood for forgiveness (Lev. 17:11; Heb. 10:1–14).
Sacrifices were always bloody—never just symbolic. The same is true today: only Jesus’ blood atones.
3. Grace Doesn’t Excuse Sin—It Teaches Holiness
Titus 2:11–14: The grace of God teaches us to live godly, holy lives.
Purification happens as we surrender to grace and walk in the Spirit, not in the flesh.
4. The Role of the Shofar (Trumpet)
A symbol of God’s voice, warning, and movement.
It echoes from Mount Sinai to Jericho, from the prophets to the final trumpet blast.
5. God Wants Relationship, Not Ritual
Real rest (Sabbath) and atonement come not just from humility or obedience but from relationship with God.
Many live in a “bad marriage” with God—obedient but disconnected. Christ came to restore fellowship, not just forgiveness.
