Does Torah Help Explain Prophecy?

The Torah, specifically the Feasts of YHVH outline the future events of prophecy. When you read the book of Revelation, using the template of the feasts found in Torah, everything begins to fall into place. The feasts of YHVH are the key to unlocking the timetable found in Revelation.

Replacement theologians and many Christians will fight against this truth as much as possible. They don't want anything "Jewish" to be required to unlock "New Testament" prophecies. They certainly don't want the Torah, supposedly passed away and done away with, to still be essential in understanding prophecy.

But, as we shall see, Revelation is impossible to decipher without the template of the Feasts.

Each of the Feasts have an initial, intermediary and final fulfillment. In Leviticus 23 we find 7 feasts ordained by Yah: Feast of Passover, Feast of Unleavened Bread, Feast of Firstfruits, Feast of Pentecost, Feast of Trumpets, Day of Atonement, and the Feast of Tabernacles.

YahShua, as He walked this earth 2000 years ago, fulfilled to the tee the first four feasts mentioned above often referred to as the Spring Feasts. The final fulfillment of Passover, Unleavened Bread, Firstfruits and Passover all occurred during the final weeks of YahShua's life on earth. For a more detailed description of this, order Michael Rood's video tape series, Spring Feasts of the Lord.

It is the last three feasts, or the Fall Feasts, which map out the final events in Revelation so clearly. The Feast of Trumpets or Shouting is a clear foreshadow of the rapture. Rabbi Shaul said in I Corinthians 15 that this great gathering together would occur at the last, great trumpet. YahShua said no man would know the day or the hour of this rapture. The Feast of Trumpets is the only feast in which no one can know the exact day or hour because it does not occur until the sighting of the first sliver of the New Moon. It is a perfect picture of the coming rapture. *

On the Feast of Trumpets, YahShua will resurrect the dead and living saints to be with Him up in the air. This would coincide with the last or seventh trumpet in Revelation. For the next ten days, YahShua gathers His saints on the sea of fire and glass, purifying them and distributing their rewards. Down on earth, the armies of the Anti-Messiah are gathering for the Battle of Armageddon.

On the 10th day, the Day of Atonement, it is finished. The saints have been judged and purified and YahShua finishes distributing the rewards. The armies of antichrist are gathered, ready to do battle with YahShua.

During those 10 days, the 7 last angels pour our the 7 final bowl judgments upon earth. These 7 bowl judgments, pouring out the wrath of Yah upon earth, makes atonement for the earth even as the saints in Heaven are brought into full atonement through YahShua's purifying fire.

There are 5 days between the Day of Atonement and the Feast of Tabernacles. During these 5 days, the now ready and purified saints makes themselves ready for the Wedding Supper of the Lamb. This is the time to put on the wedding garments and to prepare to dine with the King and Eternal Husband.

As the Feast of Tabernacles begins, the saints are gathered to feast with their Husband. The great wedding feast lasts for 8 days, the full length of the Tabernacle celebration. A traditional Jewish wedding is also 8 days in duration.

And then, one the final day of the feast, known in Torah as the last, great day, YahShua kicks back His chair, brings forth His winged, white horse, and prepares to lead His armies down to earth for the Battle of Armageddon.

On that last, great day, Yahshua descends to earth, crushes the antichrist and his armies and creates His physical kingdom on earth.

Each of the Fall Feasts are perfectly fulfilled to the last jot and tittle just as Yah had intended it from the beginning.

Truly the Torah and more specifically the Feasts detailed in Torah help explain the final prophetic events as described in Revelation.

* Michael Rood still determines the beginning of months by the first sliver, but we have come to the conclusion that this tradition probably came from Babylon, where the crescent imagery was used in pagan worship. More likely, the New Moons ought to be observe at the conjunction, when the moon is completely black. Rood's interpretation of Revelation works even without the "first sighting" bit.
