In
the second volume of God’s Festivals Dr. Bacchiocchi
examines the typical nature and the antitypical fulfillment of the
feasts of Trumpets, Atonement, and Tabernacles. The study shows how
the Fall Feasts of Israel reveal the unfolding of the events leading
to the consummation of redemption. Bible students interested in
End-time prophecies will find this book of great value, because it
offers valuable insights into the prophetic message of the Book of
Revelation.
The procedure followed throughout the book is
first to establish the typical nature and meaning of the feasts in
the Old Testament and then to trace their antitypical fulfillment in
the New Testament. The study traces the historical, Christological,
ecclesiological, and eschatological fulfillment of the Fall Feasts
through Biblical and Christian history.
Dr. Bacchiocchi shows how the feasts of Israel
have both a commemorative and prefigurative function. They
commemorate past events of Israel’s history, but they also
prefigure future events of the unfolding of salvation history. God
chose to reveal through the Spring and Fall Feasts of ancient
Israel, the unfolding of salvation history, from its inauguration at
Christ’s first Advent to its consummation at the second Advent.
You will find that these two books will give
you a fuller understanding of the major events leading to the
consummation of redemption. They will help you to better
conceptualize and internalize the reality of salvation typified by
the Holy Days. They will offer you new insights on how the typology
of the Fall Feasts reveals the major events leading to the
establishment of God’s Kingdom.
