The Biblical Feasts and the Return of Jesus: How the Spring and Fall Feasts of Israel Will Be Fulfilled in the Kingdom of God by Travis M. Snow
The Biblical Feasts & the Return of Jesus is the first book ever written that explains how both the spring and fall feasts of Israel will be fulfilled after the Messiah’s Second Coming.
The main idea of this work is that Passover, the Feast of Weeks, the Feast of Trumpets, the Day of Atonement, and the Feast of Tabernacles offer a beautiful mosaic prophetic picture of events that will unfold both immediately after Jesus returns to defeat His enemies and in the early days of His millennial reign.
Passover points to the redemption of Israel and the battle between Jesus and the Antichrist.
The Feast of Weeks foreshadows a great spiritual revival in the kingdom of God.
The Feast of Trumpets heralds a magnificent coronation ceremony that will be held for Jesus on Mount Zion.
The Day of Atonement highlights how the people of Israel and their land will be cleansed prior to the construction of the millennial Temple.
And finally, the Feast of Tabernacles will be fulfilled when God’s glory dwells on the earth and His followers experience the abundance of the messianic age.
This book was deemed necessary because for many decades, most Christian and messianic Jewish teaching on the feasts has maintained that Jesus already fulfilled the spring feasts of Passover, Unleavened Bread, and Weeks, and will therefore only fulfill the fall feasts of Trumpets, Atonement, and Tabernacles when He returns.
But this is not true!
The Bible is clear that all of the biblical feasts relate to the Second Coming of the Messiah, though in different ways. For example, Jesus said Passover will be “fulfilled in the kingdom of God,” after He returns (Lk. 22:15-16). Likewise, the Apostle Paul said all of the feasts are a “shadow of what is to come” (Col. 2:17). In other words, Jesus and Paul taught that all of the feasts are connected to the end times, the Second Coming, and the events that will unfold in the kingdom of God.
Scripture does not teach that some feasts have already been fulfilled while others still await an end-times fulfillment. Rather, Scripture teaches that every feast has a partial fulfillment through the first coming of the Messiah and a final fulfillment that will take place when He returns.
Once you understand this one basic idea, all the pieces of God’s prophetic puzzle will click into place for you like never before, and The Biblical Feasts and the Return of Jesus was written with this purpose in mind.
This book includes one chapter on what each feast meant in its original historical context and one chapter on how each feast will be fulfilled after the return of Jesus. It also covers how all of the feasts have a partial messianic fulfillment that is relevant to believers in the here and now.
Whether one is new to the study of the feasts or has been mining their depths for many years, The Biblical Feasts and the Return of Jesus will certainly offer a fresh perspective, and above all, help to ground Christians and messianic Jews in the glorious hope of God’s future kingdom.
