Leviticus 23:23-44

Historically we find ourselves at the present time in the period which follows Pentecost. Israel is set aside; it is the time of the Church during which the Lord Jesus is gathering together in one the children of God which are scattered abroad (John 11:52). However the day is coming when all Israel will in turn be gathered together. After the rapture of the Church the "memorial of blowing of trumpets" (see also Numbers 29:1) will gather the nation together, and will re-unite it in its own country in preparation for the great self-affliction of the sixth feast: the day of Atonement, which corresponds to the ceremonies of ch. 16. Israel in great anguish will wait for the One who is now in the Sanctuary to appear, with His own, unto salvation (Hebrews 9:28). And thus we come to the feast of Tabernacles described in detail in our reading. It prefigures the reign of righteousness and peace on the earth that is called the Millennium. Let us count up the number of times the words are repeated in this chapter, "ye shall do no servile work therein". In all the marvellous plan of grace which extends from the cross to the glory, God has reserved to Himself the privilege of doing the work. Man and his efforts are of no avail. It is a divine work. It is "honourable and glorious" (Psalms 111:3).
