Patterns, Shadows and
Promises
… who serve the copy and shadow of the heavenly things,
as Moses was divinely instructed when he was about to make the tabernacle. For
He said, “See that you make all things according to the pattern shown
you on the mountain.”
6 But now He has obtained a more excellent ministry, inasmuch as
He is also Mediator of a better covenant, which was established on better promises.
Hebrews 8:5-6

And not only so, but we also joy in God
through our Lord Jesus Christ,
by whom we have now received the atonement.
The earth, O Lord, is
full of thy mercy:
teach me thy statutes.
Biblical festivals: The seven-day Feast of Tabernacles, or Sukkot
(Lev. 23:33-44).
Commentators agree that
Sukkot ultimately points to the Millennial Kingdom, when the Lord will
literally dwell, or “tabernacle,” among men.
• Sukkot is called the
Feast of Ingathering (Ex. 34:22). The Rapture is a gathering of believers to
the Lord (2 Thess. 2:1)
• Sukkot is the final
festival of the harvest season. Thus, the shofar blast announcing Sukkot is the
“last trump” (1 Cor. 15:52).
• Sukkot is the name of
the place the Israelites first camped after departing Egypt (Ex. 12:37). The
departure from Egypt is a type of the Rapture.
• Sukkot is one of two
harvest festivals that occur on the full moon (the other is Passover). Since
the moon is said to symbolize the Church, the full moon may point to its
“fullness” (Rom. 11:25). Additionally, Scripture links the full moon to the
return of the goodman of the house, a typological picture of Jesus returning to
settle accounts at the end of the age (Prov. 7:19, 20).
• Solomon, a type of
Christ, dedicated the Temple, a type of the body of Christ, to the Lord on
Sukkot. When the 120 priests sounded their trumpets, the glory of the Lord
filled the house (2 Chron. 5).
• Grapes and apples are
harvested in the autumn, around Sukkot. In Song 2 the passages depicting the
Shulammite maid, a type of the Church, in the presence of her beloved shepherd,
a type of Christ, mention apples and grapes (vv. 3-5, 13).
• The Gentile Ruth, a
type of the Church, married the Jewish redeemer Boaz, a type of Christ, after
“all” the grain was harvested (Ruth 2:21, 23). Thus the typological wedding of
Ruth and Boaz may have occurred around Sukkot (Ruth 2:21, 23; Deut. 16:13).
• Sukkot is when the last
grain is brought into the barns, grapes are crushed, and figs and olives are
harvested (Deut 16:13). In Scripture, grain represents the Church, grapes
represent nonbelievers, and figs and olives are symbolic of Israel (Matt. 3:12;
13:24-30; Rev. 14:18-20; 19:15; Matt. 24:32-34; Jer. 24:1, 2; Rom. 11:17-25;
Jer. 11:16).

The Appointed Patterns - Part II - The Harvests
When we understand
what the patterns are a shadow of, everything comes into much clearer focus. A
shadow is always connected to a larger, more distinct body. When we don't
understand an aspect of the shadow, we should not discard the pattern, but
instead cross-compare with the pattern and search for footnotes that go with
the pattern. Daniel – www.Informedchristians.com
1 Corinthians 3:16
Do you not know that you yourselves are God’s temple, and that God’s Spirit
dwells in you?
Revelation 21:3
And I heard a loud voice from heaven saying, “Behold, the tabernacle of God is with
men, and He will dwell with them, and they shall be His people. God Himself
will be with them and be their God.
If I hadn’t believed that I would see
Adonai’s goodness in the land of the living, . . .
Put your hope in Adonai, be strong,
and let your heart take courage!
Yes, put your hope in Adonai!
Psalm 27:13-14
This blog discusses
some festival elements as well:
Living Water - John 7:37
On the last day, that great day of the feast,
Jesus stood and cried
out, saying,
“If anyone thirsts, let him come to Me and drink.
“If anyone thirsts, let him come to Me and drink.
The First Hanukkah -
It was actually a Sukkot celebration.
