We know that the Tabernacle of Moses pointed to and was patterned after Christ or heavenly things (Ex 25:40, Heb 8:5). As part of the Tabernacle, we were shown seven feasts or holy convocations.
Passover (Lev 23:5)
Unleavened Bread (Lev 23:6-8)
Firstfruits (Lev 23:11)
Pentecost (Lev 23:15-16)
(the Spring feasts)
Trumpets (Lev 23:24)
Atonement (Lev 23:27)
Tabernacles (Lev 23:34, 36)
(the Fall feasts)
What is an overview from a Catholic or Protestant perspective on whether or not all of these have been fulfilled in Christ?
For example, we know the exclamation of John the Baptist.
>The next day John seeth Jesus coming unto him, and saith, Behold the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world. (John 1:29)
And its Passover fulfillment that led Paul to say this.
>Purge out therefore the old leaven, that ye may be a new lump, as ye are unleavened. For even Christ our passover is sacrificed for us: (1 Cor 5:7)
Likewise, with Firstfruits as the type of resurrection out from the dead.
>But now is Christ risen from the dead, and become the firstfruits of them that slept. 1 Cor 15:20
So, which feasts have been fulfilled and which remain?
