7. Which autumn feast in the ceremonial year of the earthly sanctuary came immediately before the Judgement feast, the Day of Atonement? Leviticus 23:24; Isaiah 58:1.
NOTE: ‘[The realisation that Jesus was expected to come on the 22nd Oct 1844, the 10th day of the Jewish 7th month] was like the blowing of the trumpets on the first day of the seventh month, to announce the approaching Day of Atonement on the tenth, these ten days being commonly called the days of repentance.’ LeRoy Edwin Froom, Prophetic Faith of our Fathers, volume 4, page 815.
8. Today we are living in the reality heralded by these autumn feasts. What is Holy Spirit’s Message in the book of Revelation for our day? Revelation 3:19; Revelation 18:4. Consider Jeremiah 51:6.
NOTE: ‘The part we have to act is to return to the Lord by confessing our sins to Him and to one another. A broken and contrite heart He will not despise; but our self-righteousness is in His sight as filthy rags. With many, self is whole; but when they fall upon the Rock, and are broken, then the arms of Jesus will encircle them, and draw them close to His great heart of love. God will not do for us that which we can do for ourselves; but He has said, “Seek ye the Lord while He may be found, call ye upon Him while He is near: let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts; and let him return unto the Lord, and He will have mercy upon him; and to our God, for He will abundantly pardon.” And when we comply with the conditions, He will fulfil His word.’ Gospel Workers, page 440.
