FOUR DOWN - THREE TO GO

I.  The Lamb of God (Jn. 1:29)
Leviticus 23:5 - "In the fourteenth day of the first month at even is the LORD's Passover."
1 Corinthians 5:7 - "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."
II.  The Bread of Life (Jn. 6:35)
Leviticus 23:6 - "And on the fifteenth day of the same month is the Feast of Unleavened Bread unto the LORD: seven days ye must eat unleavened bread."
Hebrews 4:1 - "For we have not a high priest which cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities; but was in all points tempted like as we are, yet without sin."
III.  The Resurrection and the Life (Jn. 11:25)
Leviticus 23:10-11 - "Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, When ye be come into the land which I give unto you, and shall reap the harvest thereof, then ye shall bring a sheaf of the Firstfruits of your harvest unto the priest:  And he shall wave the sheaf before the LORD, to be accepted for you: on the morrow after the Sabbath the priest shall wave it."
1 Corinthians 15:20 - "But now is Christ risen from the dead, and become The Firstfruits of them that slept."
IV.  Christ, the Head of the Church (Eph. 5:23)
Leviticus 23:15-17 - "And ye shall count unto you from the morrow after the Sabbath, from the day that ye brought the sheaf of the wave offering; seven Sabbaths shall be complete:  even unto the morrow after the seventh Sabbath shall ye number fifty days (the Feast of Pentecost); and ye shall offer a new meat offering unto the LORD.  Ye shall bring out of your habitations two wave loaves of two tenth deals: they shall be of fine flour; they shall be baked with leaven; they are the firstfruits unto the LORD."
Acts 2:1, 47 - "And when the day of Pentecost was fully come, they were all with one accord in one place."  "...And the Lord added to the Church daily such as should be saved.
V.  The Rapture & the Gathering of Israel? (Dan. 9:27; 1 Cor. 15:52; 1 Th. 4:16)
Leviticus 23:24 - "Speak unto the children of Israel, saying, In the seventh month, in the first day of the month, shall ye have a Sabbath, a memorial of blowing of trumpets (the Feast of Trumpets), an holy convocation."
VI.  The Tribulation? (Dan. 9:27; Mt. 24:15-28; Rev. 13 - 19)
Leviticus 23:27 - "Also on the tenth day of this seventh month there shall be a Day of Atonement:  it shall be an holy convocation unto you; and ye shall afflict your souls, and offer an offering made by fire unto the LORD."
VII.  The Millennial Kingdom? (Rev. 20:1-15)
Leviticus 23:34 - "Speak unto the children of Israel, saying, The fifteenth day of this seventh month shall be the Feast of Tabernacles for seven days unto the LORD."

Note the question marks on the last three Feasts of the Lord. 
I do not claim to know the events they represent! 
Christ literally fulfilled the first four, and He will literally fulfill the last three! 
I do not believe the Church will be here for them!
