I love affirmation in scripture, it always gives me goosebumps! Right into it; the first three of these Jewish holidays have been fulfilled in that of the First Fruits, Unleavened Bread and Passover. "*PASSOVER (Jewish Meaning) The Jews sacrificed a spotless lamb on the doorposts of their homes. The angel "passed over" and spared them but killed the firstborn Egyptians. Exod 12 (Jesus' Fulfillment) Jesus was the perfect sacrificial Lamb of God. Symbolized by his death on the steak. We are washed in his blood and freed from our sins. *UNLEAVENED BREAD (Jewish Meaning) The Jews had to leave so quickly, the bread they took didn't have time to rise. They consider the leaven, or yeast, a metaphor for sin. (Jesus' Fulfillment) Christ was sanctified, set apart, and sinless. His burial and broken body was symbolic of the true Bread of Heaven. *FIRSTFRUITS or PENTECOST (Jewish Meaning) Firstfruits means, "a promise to come." 50 days after Passover is the holiday of Pentecost. The Jews remember this day as the time when they crossed the Red Sea. Exactly 50 days later, Moses descended with the 10 Commandments, the Law written in stone. Moses saw the lawlessness of the Israelites when he came down and told the Levites to kill the troublemakers. 3,000 were slain." Now how about the last festivals of the Trumpets, Atonement, Tabernacle? Now look at this; If for argument sake the first trumpet of Revelation was to blow on the festival of trumpets on Sept 5th of this year 2013, then Jesus would be enthroned exactly 2225 days later, and guess what falls on that date? The day of Atonement, Oct 9th 2019. Then 75 days later and the day the new world is ushered in at Hanukkah Dec 23rd 2019! As well, the festival of Tabernacles falls on the destruction of the Anglo-American world power. The dates are exact, let's look a little closer. {2300 Starts} Watchtower News Reports: Sept 5th, 2013; Festival of Trumpets | {965 Days Pass} | {1260, 1290, 1335 Starts} Watchtower Goes Down: Date | {777 Days Pass} | {1742nd Day} Call to Rebuild Jerusalem: Date | {108 Days Pass} | {1850th Day} USA Collapses: Sept 23-30th, 2018; Feast of Tabernacles | {375 Days Pass} | {1260 Ends} Jesus Enthroned: Oct 9th, 2019; Day of Atonement | {30 Days Pass} | {1290 Ends} Disgusting Thing: Date | {45 Days Pass} | {2300[SUP]th[/SUP], 1335[SUP]th [/SUP]Day} New World: Dec 23rd, 2019; Hanukkah Here is a link to a date duration calculator for you; http://www.timeanddate.com/date/duration.html Now, I'm not saying that on Sept 5th 2013 we will see the next thing we are looking for, that of news out of the UN of WTS errors (The first trumpet) and the beginning of the end, but what I am saying is if you notice, the festivals that are left to be fulfilled fall directly in line with the chronology that is to be fulfilled on the exact day the festival occurs in that year, and confirms without a doubt that the chronology laid out here is accurate, and from Jehovah! Look closer... We've talked about the first festival in that of the Trumpets, now let's look at the day of Atonement. "Yom Kippur (Atonement) is the tenth day of the month of Tishrei and also regarded as the “Sabbath of Sabbaths According to Jewish tradition, God inscribes each person's fate for the coming year into a book, the Book of Life, on Rosh Hashanah, and waits until Yom Kippur to "seal" the verdict." (Wikipedea) This is also the day that the faithful are sealed and holy spirit is poured out, Jesus is enthroned and those dead in Christ are raised. The most important Jewish holiday, and day in the time of the end! Now lets look at Hanukkah. It just so happens would fall exactly 2300 days from the festival of trumpets and represents the war about 165 BCE with Judah and his men fighting the Greeks and winning, upon returning to the temple they found it in shambles and begun its restoration. How fitting this describes the first day of the new world! As well we notice the festival of Tabernacles falls directly in line with the fall of the Anglo-American world powers. "Sukkot is agricultural in origin. This is evident from the biblical name "The Feast of Ingathering,"Ex.23:16, 34:22 from the ceremonies accompanying it, from the season – "The festival of the seventh month"Ezek.45:25; Neh.8:14. – and occasion of its celebration: "At the end of the year when you gather in your labors out of the field" (Wikipedea) This accurately shows the condition that will be in the world for those faithful at this time! For this will be the time to stock up on goods, and food stuffs. The reason why will be because when this occurs the Eighth and final king will be set up and you will have to have the mark of that beast in order to buy and sell. However, those of us who see it coming will be able to stock up for the next year to come before the end and will not need their mark! There is so much more to share as the chronology all falls together, but in the air of trying to simplify we will leave this post as it is. It's all coming together friends!
The Jewish holidays are definitely a fundamental pattern in God's purpose. Many keys are there ! That's the figurative skeleton, so to speak. Have you read the thread I had written about it, and about the shofar (and its connection with the trumpets) ? I'll have to read it again thorougly too because you've rekindled my curiosity about that subject. I had put it in the back burner... I like very much what you said about the Feast of Ingathering. That's very, very interesting. Good job indeed ! Regarding Sukkot, I was interpretating the ingathering of everything left to be gathered as the ingathering of the GC and of mankind's resurrected ones (barley, then wheat, then fruits, etc). We'll have to dig a little bit more into this. Interestingly, Rosh Hashanah is also the feast that starts only when two witnesses come affirming that they've seen the sign in the sky (new moon...) and about which beginning it is said that "no one knows the day or the hour".
Exactly, and what exciting times brother! It's fascinating how after millenia the structure of scripture all falls together as it should in our day. What foresight Jehovah has! I have not read it, but very much look forward to doing so. It's interesting you say this! Because as you know in the chronology the moment the eighth king is set up marks the time the gathering takes place, the separating of those who will receive the mark of the beast and those who will obey God. Also interesting the feast of Tabernacles ends on the very first day of the Eighth kings reign! So it affords and shows an opportunity for all to stock up on literal food stuffs so that you wont have to deal with the eighth king. It's a way for Jehovah allowing us to prepare ourselves. Keep the research coming brother...
Just to assist those reading here, I wanted to add a shortcut for Revelation to understand how Daniels chronology explains Revelations structure. This can all be found on the tab above, including detailed explanations of each event within. "The End Is Here!" http://joshuastone7.com/ This is just a quickguid to Revelations structure, please refer to "The End Is Here!" for detail explanations: 2300 Days Starts the Time of the End 1st Trumpet: Hail, fire mingled with blood hurled to earth/3rd died 1st Bowl: Poured out into the earth {Starting the beginning of the 2300 days, this is when transgression by the Watchtower Bible & Tract Society comes to light 965 days before the constant feature is removed. Which intern causes some of the stars and army to fall away from the congregation. We will see this in news reports from the United Nations about WTB&S errors. Man of lawlessness is revealed.} 2nd Trumpet: Mountain like fire hurled into sea/3rd died 2nd Bowl: Poured out into the sea {Jehovah’s earthly organization is hurled into the worlds eye as if on fire.} 3rd Trumpet: Star fell “Wormwood†onto waters/fell on 3rd 3rd Bowl: Poured out into waters {The judgment on Gods people makes the proverbial waters of information from the society bitter to the palate.} 1260, 1290, 1335 Days Start 4th Trumpet: Third of the sun smitten and moon smitten 4th Bowl: Poured out upon the sun {The constant feature is removed.

These are described in the 7th trumpet, 7th bowl and 6th seal. Everlasting good news declared to the earth.
