CHRIST IS AND FULFILLS ALL THE TIMES, SEASONS & FEASTS! Not long ago, we discovered in a graphic how all of time belongs to Jesus Christ. However, Jesus is even more than that! Abraham, Moses, the Law and the Prophets and in fact all the Feasts, Times and Seasons are fulfilled by and belong to Him!

 

 

 

PAUL THE APOSTLE: “Eye has not seen, nor ear heard, nor has it entered into the heart of man, the things God has prepared for those who love Him.” 1 Corinthians 2:9

 

 

 

FOR TWO-THOUSAND YEARS THE CROSS HAS PREVAILED! Roman emperors tried to stop it, Asian kings attempted to stamp it out, French, Russian, Spanish and Mexican revolutions tried to destroy its memory, neighbors, family and friends have tried to discourage it, and yet two-thousand years later, the Cross is still standing!

 

 WHEN I SURVEY THE WONDROUS CROSS 

When I survey the wondrous cross

On which the Prince of Glory died

My richest gain I count but loss

And pour contempt on all my pride

 

Forbid it Lord that I should boast

Save in the death of Christ my Lord

All the vain things that charm me most

I sacrifice them to His blood

 

See from His head His hands His feet

Sorrow and love flow mingled down

Did ever such love and sorrow meet

Or thorns compose so rich a crown

 

Were the whole realm of nature mine

That were an offering far too small

Love so amazing so divine

Demands my soul my life my all

 

Author: Isaac Watts (1707)

 

WHAT ARE THE CHANCES WE WOULD BE ALIVE AT THIS TIME?

It's hard to grasp we are in the final few seconds of human history; that in hindsight has had a six-thousand-year lifespan:

1. Creation, fall of Adam

2. The Great Flood, Noah

3. The Great Ancient Empires, Sumerian, Babylonian, Medes, Persians, Greek, Roman

4. The call of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob

5. Moses

6. King David

7. The First and Second Temple

8. The Birth of Christ, preaching, death, resurrection, ascension

9. The Destruction of Jerusalem and the Temple by Rome

10. The Great Plague, Black Death

11. WW1, WW2 and the Atomic Bomb

12. Invention of Electricity

13. Invention of Aviation

14. Invention of Computers and Internet

15. And here we are, at the end of the end. eyewitnesses to the culmination of 6,000 years of God's story. What are the chances?

Only this Fall and this Fall Only! What are the Chances? The first time Jesus came, he arrived on earth at the appointed time. Jesus fulfilled the Jewish spring feasts of Passover, Unleavened Bread, First Fruits and Pentecost. The second time he comes, he arrives at the appointed time to fulfill the Hebrew fall feasts. Rosh Hashanah and Sukkot. Yom Kippur - Year of Jubilee, which is every 7 years. Trumpets and new 7-year cycle. Tabernacles - Hakehl, which is every 50 years. This fall they all lineup together the end of September, the beginning of October, and that will not happen again until 50 years from now.

At the Cross, Mercy and Justice have Kissed!

Soon and very soon, we are going to see the king!

 

 

 

 

Stop. Think. All of time is centered upon and belongs to Him.

As high as the heavens above and then as wide as the universe, that's how BIG God's love is for each one of us on this little spec of dust we call Earth.

Brothers and Sisters, This is the verdict: The Light has come into the world, but the world knew Him not. People loved darkness instead of the Light because their deeds are evil. John 3:19
