There is a noticeable “gap” between the middle (the middle of seven) Feast (called Pentecost) … and the Fall (Autumn) Feast (called Trumpets). Trumpets also being the first of three in that time of year!

The extended weeks between the third month and the seventh month of the Jewish Calendar.

With the Feast of Trumpets (logically) having to do with some element of prophecy, the “future!”

Meaning that the first four Feasts represent what are now “past” events in God’s great Plan for the ages.

Passover – Jesus Death! (History, He will never die again!)

Unleavened Bread – Jesus’ sinless Life, and by means of His mighty Power … our ability (as Christians) to live holy (unleavened) lives as well.

Firstfruits – Jesus Resurrection from the grave! A two thousand old Fact!

All past tense!

But the last three Feasts (Trumpets and the Day of Atonement and Tabernacles) all propose (promise) future Happenings in God’s grand Chronology.

So … we are currently living (dispensationally) between the “past” and the “future!” What a simplistic sentence!

But, and here’s my point today … what are we to be doing in this Interval? Spiritually and physically speaking?

Better yet, what were the Jews of old doing during that time period?

Answer: they were enjoying the harvest, the grain (Pentecost) that was being gathered! God’s blessings/bounty in the fields!

Back to us … we too are to be “bringing in the harvest!”

Winning souls to Jesus!

“Bringing in the Sheaves,” the old song reminds us!

Yes, there are some “tares” in the wheat fields, problems galore … but the harvest is still the issue!

Have you produced this kind of fruit (souls) for your Lord?

Have I?

We had best be diligent … one of these days the “trumpet” will sound!

Tell someone about Jesus soon!
