John 14:6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.
Let’s consider that the three Jewish feasts of the year point to the statement made by Jesus:
The Way (Passover)
The Truth (Pentecost)
The Life (Tabernacles)
Passover was instituted when the children of Israel were saved from the death angel in Egypt:
Exodus 12 …
It is the LORD’s Passover.
12 ‘For I will pass through the land of Egypt on that night, and will strike all the firstborn in the land of Egypt, both man and beast; and against all the gods of Egypt I will execute judgment: I am the LORD.
13 Now the blood shall be a sign for you on the houses where you are. And when I see the blood, I will pass over you; and the plague shall not be on you to destroy you when I strike the land of Egypt.
14 ‘So this day shall be to you a memorial; and you shall keep it as a feast to the LORD throughout your generations. You shall keep it as a feast by an everlasting ordinance.
This is the day (actually night) that Passover had fully come and they were to observe this day and keep it as a feast. This was established as a permanent statute thus “by law” we must go through “Passover”. The Age of Passover was instituted on that day but was fulfilled when Jesus presented HIS Blood to the Divine Court after He was crucified. He was described as “flesh and bone” after His crucifixion while He was described as “flesh and blood” before. So, the Age of Passover had a beginning with a visual, lesser sign of blood on the door posts and ended with the fulfillment of the Blood of Christ, the greater event.
Jesus prepared the disciples for the next age to begin: The Age of Pentecost. It too would begin with a lesser sign. This lesser sign would begin on the 50th day after Passover: the Day of Pentecost (the 2nd Feast)
According to the Biblical Meaning of Numbers:
49. Jubilee (490 referenced in forgiveness)
50. Holy Spirit, Pentecost, Jubilee
Both of these numbers point to Jubilee.
Prior to the Feast of Tabernacles, there is a lesser feast: The Day of Atonement.
Leviticus 25:8 ‘And you shall count seven sabbaths of years for yourself, seven times seven years; and the time of the seven sabbaths of years shall be to you forty-nine years. 9 Then you shall cause the trumpet of the Jubilee to sound on the tenth day of the seventh month; on the Day of Atonement you shall make the trumpet to sound throughout all your land. 10 And you shall consecrate the fiftieth year, and proclaim liberty throughout all the land to all its inhabitants. It shall be a Jubilee for you; and each of you shall return to his possession, and each of you shall return to his family. 11 That fiftieth year shall be a Jubilee to you; in it you shall neither sow nor reap what grows of its own accord, nor gather the grapes of your untended vine. 12 For it is the Jubilee; it shall be holy to you; you shall eat its produce from the field.
On this day, each person is set free of all debt and liberty is proclaimed throughout the land. Each person shall be fully reconciled to his family. This day prepares us for the final feast “of Life”. One must consider that this day actually fulfills the Age of Pentecost that began in Acts 2:
1 When the Day of Pentecost had fully come, they were all with one accord in one place.2 And suddenly there came a sound from heaven, as of a rushing mighty wind, and it filled the whole house where they were sitting. 3 Then there appeared to them divided tongues, as of fire, and one sat upon each of them. 4 And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance.
This is the lesser sign at the beginning of the Age with the sign of “cloven tongues” resting on each of them. This begs the question to be asked: What is the greater fulfillment at the end of the age? Have we seen or experienced it yet? Whatever it is, it must precede the lesser sign of Tabernacles. Jesus gave us an indication. It would be the fulfillment of Truth in our lives. Jesus spoke of a jubilee:
John 8:31 Then Jesus said to those Jews who believed Him, “If you abide in My word, you are My disciples indeed. 32 And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.”
When the Truth is fulfilled, it will be broadcast all over the earth. The lies will be exposed that have kept the masses in bondage. There will be a great fire that will be the greater sign of fulfillment of Pentecost. John the Baptist, the greatest prophet, spoke of this day:
Luke 3:16 John answered, saying unto them all, I indeed baptize you with water; but one mightier than I cometh, the latchet of whose shoes I am not worthy to unloose: he shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost and with fire.
Many have been baptized with Holy Ghost yet how many have been fully baptized with fire? The fire burns out the chaff, the dross, the impurities, leaving the Divine Nature. Our Heavenly Father is an “All Consuming Fire”. Truth was expressed by Our Heavenly Father in the form of The Law. Once given, it differentiated Truth from lies, Justice from lawlessness. The 3 B’s at Servias (Blogs, Books, and Broadcasts) are intended to bring us to the fulfillment of this 2nd feast by preparing us for the Fiery Law to become fully resident in each of us. The earth was cleansed by water the first time. The second time is by baptism of fire, also known as the Baptism of Love. At the beginning of the Age of Pentecost, there were three groups of people (Acts 2):
The Disciples (participants)
The Devout Men (observers)
The Others who were in doubt and mockers (the world)
Which group are you in? Let’s turn up the heat!
