"For 40 years did unbelief, murmuring and rebellion shut out ancient Israel from the land of Canaan. The same sins have delayed the entrance of modern Israel into the heavenly Canaan" (Ev p. 696).The Hebrew feasts demark the different events in the life and ministration of Jesus to save us from sin.
How did the ancient Feast of Tabernacles commemorate Israel's wilderness wanderings as well as point forward to the first coming of the Messiah?- How does it further point to its future fulfillment during the Millennium?
- Are we praising God for His bounties and making use of the opportunities given us in this present antitypical Day of Atonement so we will hasten the final fulfillment of the last of the great Hebrew feasts in the New Earth?
- Or will we "have to remain here in this world because of insubordination many more years, as did the children of Israel"?
