The most important aspect of the Feasts of Israel is that Jesus Christ fulfills them all during the early and latter rain.
"Therefore be patient, brethren, until the coming of the Lord. See how the farmer waits for the precious fruit of the earth, waiting patiently for it until it receives the early and latter rain. You also be patient. Establish your hearts, for the coming of the Lord is at hand (James 5:7,8, NKJV).
It is astonishing how many true believers, who are clear on most of the Bible, remain adamantly opposed to what the Bible declares so plainly about Israel being restored fully to her land in the last days. It could rightly be said that one's attitude toward Israel (which is by far the major subject of the Bible, taking up at least 70% of its pages) defines whether or not one is truly a Biblical Christian. Almost every event in the Bible happened either to or in Israel.
In Numbers 19:1-10 the Lord gives Israel the commandments concerning the Red Heifer. The ashes of this special sacrifice were used to make the water of purification. This water was used to make an unclean person clean prior to their being able to take part in any Temple ceremony or feast day celebration.
According to Jewish teaching:
"The Red Heifer was a completely red (colored) cow that was slaughtered and then burned. Its ashes were used to purify those who had been exposed to the dead (or who had become unclean through other means).
“Oh, give thanks to the Lord, for He is good! For His mercy endures forever” (Psalms 136:1).
It is evident from Scripture that Jesus Christ will return and reign in a real kingdom on earth for a literal 1,000 years.
My hope and prayer is that you will study the following and discover for yourself that God’s promise to Israel motivated Him to be merciful and compassionate toward the Israelites, not their goodness.
“And I saw thrones, and they sat on them, and judgment was committed to them. Then I saw the souls of those who had been beheaded for their witness to Jesus and for the word of God, who had not worshiped the beast or his image, and had not received his mark on their foreheads or on their hands. And they lived and reigned with Christ for [a] thousand years.But the rest of the dead did not live again until the thousand years were finished. This is the first resurrection. Blessed and holy is he who has part in the first resurrection. Over such the second death has no power, but they shall be priests of God and of Christ, and shall reign with Him a thousand years” (Rev 20:4-6).
