What's the next great prophetic event?
God sends his Spirit down. Pentecost. But what is Pentecost? Pentecost is actually a Hebrew holiday
that just happens to have a Greek name that throws everybody off. Moses was Pentecostal.
Moses is the one, you know if you've got a problem with Pentecostals talk to Moses. Because he came
up, God through him, came up with Pentecost. Pentecost. I mean not the name, he came up with,
I mean it came through him. He said count seven sevens and then the fiftieth day
call Shavuot. So Orthodox Jews are celebrating Pentecost. Orthodox Jews are Pentecostal,
in a sense, without knowing it. They may not act that way but they are Pentecostal
because they're celebrating Pentecost. In fact in some of the Jewish books ... I'm not talking about
Messianic, they call it, they call it, this is our holiday. It's Pentecost. We celebrate Pentecost.
So here you've got now the Spirit. What is Pen ..., what is Shavout, Pentecost? It's the feast
where God dedicates the first fruits of the summer harvest. And so what did God do? He took that
hundred twenty and he dedicated them with the Holy Spirit and they spoke in other tongues because
they represent, it's the first fruits represents all the nations that will come in this harvest.
And so then what happens? They go out from Jerusalem because what's next in the Hebrew year,
just like clockwork? It's the summer harvest. Go out. The fields are ripe. Go out and reap now.
Where are we right now, on the prophetic calendar? We are right now in the summer.
Somewhere. Because this is the time of the summer harvest. This is the time when
you're reaping. This is the time when you're sowing the Gospel. This is the time, whatever
you're going to do, whatever fruit you're going to bear, this is the time to do it.
But what happens now? Now where, here we are. But the thing is, so we have on the Hebrew calendar,
you've got the spring holy days, beginning. Then you have the autumn holy days, the end.
So you've got these two things here. And so if you just, now if you just didn't know any,
we just went by the Hebrew calendar you could basically preach the Gospel. Because you would
be saying first, we are saved by the Blood of the Lamb. It begins with Passover, my salvation.
Secondly, we have new life coming. We have then, then comes Resurrection,
first fruits. Then comes Pentecost, the Spirit. These are all Hebrew holidays, so you've got the
Gospel there. Now the, the early church they knew, they celebrated all these holidays. And,
and Christians celebrate them to this day. The Crucifixion, the Resurrection, and Pentecost.
But they're all Hebrew holidays. Think about it. Why did the early church celebrate these things
and not those? Why are these holy days that we are entering into now, why are they a mystery
to most Christians? Most Christians know Pentecost, Passover but they don't know Trumpets,
Yom Kippur and Succoth, Tabernacles. Why? Very simple. God fulfilled the first ones in his first
coming. He has not fulfilled them prophetically yet until the second coming. There's two.
There's two periods of holy days, and there's two comings of the Messiah. The first is the spring
and so he fulfilled it. But these are just as much a part of your faith as these are. The only
difference is prophetically they have not happened yet. I mean, I mean Atonement has happened, but
that's not the Day of the Lord has not happened. These have not yet come. Some of you might think,
so we know, you know so the Christians know Passover you know and, and you know when you
know they use the word Easter. Easter is not a good word to use. Because, I mean because,
and it's not, there's actually confusion about it. It's not exactly Ishtar but it's another goddess
and so the thing is you don't want to use a pagan word to speak about the Resurrection of God.
But you're not going to condemn people. But listen, it is not Easter. It is Passover.
In the Bible and it doesn't say Easter, it says actually Passover. Whenever it talks about that
in, in the New, the Greek it says Passover. So here, it's all there. And now if you go outside
of English most Latin languages are going to call this Passover. That's what they call it.
But these things are a mystery! Most of you who grew up didn't know about the Shofar when you're,
if you're in church. You did, they didn't blow this. And you didn't know about Sukkot and all,
well but, but as much as Passover is part of your faith these are part of your faith. They
just haven't been fulfilled. But they're going to be. So this is all part of it. And so the thing is
now, now we talk about the end of the age. These things are all about what is yet to come. We just
sang, Who was, Who is, and Who is to come. The holidays in spring, he was. The summer,
he is. This is where we are now. This is what is yet to come. So all these things, the autumn holy
days speak of what is coming. So therefore now we are somewhere prophetically in the summer.
Probably near the end of the summer. But now the big, the next big prophetic event,
the last one was Pentecost, the next big event is this event that we are commemorating tonight.
The next big event is the Feast of Trumpets. That is the next thing that has to come. So now
you might say well, you know, you know actually I remember I was in Africa and I was ministering and
I sounded the Shofar and, and, and some people said well, well you know the Shofar is, that's
not, or the Trumpets are not in the New Testament. That's the Old Testament. I said wait a minute.
They are in the New Testament. But since this is not about the beginning it's about the end, where
are you going to find them? You're going to find the trumpets at the end of the Bible. You're going
to find the trumpets in the prophecies that speak of the end of the age. So what happens when you
read about the, the end of the age and the coming of Messiah? What do you get? You get this. Matthew
24. They will see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of heaven, with great power and glory. He
will send forth his angels with a Great Trumpet. He'll gather his elect with a Great Trumpet.
1 Thessalonians 4 says this. Then the Lord himself will descend from heaven with a shout. With the
voice of the archangel and with the Trumpet of God. And the dead in Messiah will rise, so you
shall be caught up in the clouds. With what? With the sound of the trumpet. So the Lord will come
with the sound of the trumpet. The Lord will gather his people with the sound of the trumpet.
The Lord will, will, we will rise to him, and the dead in Messiah with the sound of the trumpet.
