Feasting on the Feasts (6 of 6)
Series: The Feast of Tabernacles

Leviticus 23:33-44
September 6, 2000
Now with our Bibles opened to Leviticus 23 .. we now come to the seventh and final feast: the feast of Tabernacles.
The seven feasts of Israel have reminded us of the scarlet thread that runs from Genesis to Revelation. You see .. both Old Testament and New Testament tell the same story!
Throughout the Old Testament .. God gives us a picture of His salvation message in Jesus. And once you understand that .. the Old Testament becomes exciting and practical rather than just a history book of rituals and customs.

What Scriptures was Jesus talking about? The only Scriptures that they had: the Old Testament! Jesus said, "You searched the Scriptures, for in them you think you have eternal life." In other words .. "You think keeping the Law brings salvation! You think keeping the Law brings satisfaction!"

So who was Moses writing about? Jesus! As one man put it, "The New is in the Old contained; the Old is by the New explained." Both Old and New Testaments tell the same story. The O ...
