http://www.originofnations.org/HRP_Papers/Charts/Feast%20Days%20&%20Revelation.pdf - shows a chart suggesting the Book of Revelation correlates with Israel's ancient Holy Days
The idea rings true to me.
Copy / Pasted :
Holy Feast Day/Book of Revelation Parallels, (and I thought I'd add how the Feast Day is fulfilled)
Chapter --- Prophecy – Event --- Holy Feast Day
1 --- Introduction – Christ the Lamb of God --- Passover (Jesus is the Passover Lamb, unblemished, etc)
2-3 --- Seven Churches – sin in spiritual Israel and examining the self --- Seven Days of Unleavened Bread (Jesus is the Unleavened/free from sin/flaw Bread of Life, Manna from heaven)
4-5 --- Christ the Lamb, Redeemer – worthy to open the scroll --- Sheaf of the Firstfruits during the DUB(days of unleavened bread; my note: no, "Firstfruits" always falls on the Sunday of Spring Holy Week)
6 – 8:6 --- Seven Seals of the Scroll – Pentecost(?) ---- or part of FirstFriuts? (1st horseman of the apocalypse, white horse, victor, ride continues to 'end') "the scroll is opened (unrolled) and out comes a white horse and rider.."
7:4,9; 14:4 --- Two Wave Loaves/Two Multitudes – Israel and the Gentiles --- Pentecost (Acts 2,from many lands)
8:7 --- 11:19 – Seven Trumpets --- Trumpets
12 --- INSET (hooray, someone else sees this chapter is an insert, whole on its own)
13 --- 19 – Great Tribulation --- Trumpets ---this, and the rest, is where I would differ
20:1-3 – Satan bound --- Atonement
20:4-6 – Millennial reign of the Messiah --- Tabernacles
20:7-15 – Judgment Last Great Day
(Quote: The above chart is based on the information contained in David Hill’s booklet on The Correlation between the Holy Days and the Book of Revelation)
-----------------------------------------------------
This makes more sense to me:
Trumpets --- calamities/judgments announce the return of Jesus, the blown shofar "come to the Lord"
7th Trump - His return/1st resurrection/beginning of His 1000 year reign (represented by the 10 days of "Trumpets"?)
Bowls (of final bubbling and spilling over consequences)/Judgment
(quick & ?concurrent) and Satan bound
Day of Atonement --- 2nd resurrection, judgment day (represented by 5 days between DOA & Tabernacles?)
Tabernacles! --- "God will now tabernacle with man" - The New Jerusalem and the very throne of God come to Earth (made new in a universe made new) - God filling all things every where - "all in all")
