On It’s Supernatural: Are the biblical feasts dress rehearsals for the return of Messiah? Mark Biltz proves a major biblical historical event will happen in 2014 on the feasts.
Can ancient secrets of the supernatural be rediscovered? Do angels exist? Is there life after death? Are healing miracles real? Can you get supernatural help from another dimension? Has the future been written in advance? Sid Roth has spent thirty years researching the strange world of the supernatural. Join Sid on this edition of It’s Supernatural.
SID: Hello, Sid Roth here. Welcome to my world, where it’s naturally supernatural. My guest is Mark Biltz, and he has revelation like few people have ever seen. Let me give you an example. Let’s suppose you live 2000 years ago in Jerusalem, and there was the hottest show in town, the best play in the world, and you could go into the dress rehearsal of the play. But this play has a spectacular theme. The theme is the coming of the Messiah. And you would see, in the dress rehearsal, every aspect of the Messiah coming to planet Earth. You would not have been among the Jewish people who missed the Messiah, had you seen that dress rehearsal. Well my guest, Mark Biltz, says there is a built in dress rehearsal of the first coming of the Messiah, but there is also a built in dress rehearsal of the return of the Messiah in the Bible itself. Mark, you were telling me about in the book of Leviticus there is a section that tells us about these dress rehearsals. And you know what? Maybe there wouldn’t be so much confusion in Islam and Judaism and Christianity if we could get into this dress rehearsal and see about the return of the Messiah.
MARK: Oh, exactly right Sid. I can’t help but think, at a wedding you have a dress rehearsal beforehand,
and you want to be at the dress rehearsal. Well in Leviticus 23, it says “These are the feasts of the Lord.”
He said “These are holy convocations. These are even My feasts.” So I think it’s interesting the Lord says they’re His feasts. It doesn’t say they’re Jewish feasts or the feasts of Israel, but the feasts of the Lord.
SID: And the thing that’s so amazing to me is, when you understand in the Hebrew what the words
“feasts” and “holy convocations” means. Explain that.
MARK: When we hear the word “feasts”, we think of food. But the Hebrew word literally means an appointment, a divine appointment. The word “convocation” is like an assembly, but in Hebrew the word implies a dress rehearsal. So we see all the feasts of the Lord were dress rehearsals where they were rehearsing what was going to take place 1,500 years later, prophetically, on the spring feasts. Then the fall feasts concern the second coming.
SID: It’s so specific on the first coming of the Messiah, and it’s all in the feasts. Or, in the Hebrew it says
these are set appointments that God has in which God says “I am going to show up.” So tell me, for the first coming of the Messiah, in the, you call them God’s feasts, I usually call them Jewish feasts,
MARK: They’re both.
SID: But they’re really even higher, it’s God’s feasts. Tell me some of the signs.
MARK: One of the most fascinating things to realize, first off, they had the evening sacrifice, the morning sacrifice. They were at 9 in the morning and 3 in the afternoon. At 9 in the morning is when they would offer up the Passover lamb. Well in Mark, it says that Yeshua, Jesus, was bound to the cross the third hour of the day. So the very moment that the high priest was binding the Passover lamb to the alter at the dress rehearsal, they’re binding Yeshua to the cross. Then at 3 in the afternoon, the very moment the high priest is slaying the Passover lamb, that’s when Messiah died. What’s amazing, God had even planned the songs
that were going to be sung at His Son’s funeral. They would always sing at the Passover what’s called the hallel, which is Psalms 113 through Psalms 118. So at 9 in the morning, you’d hear all throughout Jerusalem, through all the hills, valleys, the Mount of Olives… Josephus said there were two and a half million Jews in Jerusalem at that time. You could just hear the chorus outside. Everyone is singing Psalms 118, which is “Bind the sacrifice with cords, even to the horns of the alter.” Psalms 118 says “This is the day the Lord has made.”
SID: There was more in that rehearsal, because at Passover we read Psalm 118. Part of that says “The stone that the builders rejected has become the chief cornerstone.” Could you picture knowing all of this ahead of time?
MARK: Yeah. At the Mount of Olives… It says they had sang a hymn at the Last Supper. Well, I can tell you the words to that hymn. It was Psalms 118. So what were the very words they were singing right before He was betrayed and rejected, but what you said: “The stone the builders rejected has become the chief stone of the corner.”
SID: Well is it just as precise in the fall feasts as the spring feasts, as far as the return of Messiah?
MARK: I think so. I think everyone realizes that God is the same yesterday, today, and forever. And if we really believe that, if He fulfilled the spring feasts to the day of His first coming, He’ll fulfill the fall feasts to the day of His second coming. We don’t set dates at all.
SID: What I’m wondering is, how did something that started out exclusively Jewish, so Jewish, so biblical, become the opposite of Judaism? How’d that happen?
MARK: Well, I think 2000 years ago, a lot of the early church fathers wanted nothing to do with the Jews or Judaism. They didn’t think they were grafted in, but almost like a separate tree. But God has the Gentiles, He wanted them grafted in so they would understand the richness and the fatness of the olive tree, and get to the root.
SID: But why? I believe it’s a satanic, diabolical plot to stop people from understanding every… from going to the dress rehearsal of the return of the Messiah.
MARK: I think so too. The book of Ruth, Pentecost, one of the spring feasts, they always read the book of Ruth, which is about a Gentile being grafted in to this Jewish family, going back to Jerusalem, working the harvest, and bringing forth the Messiah is Ruth. Well, “Ruth” is Hebrew means “friend”, so she befriended the Jew. But “Orpah” means “to turn your back on”, so she turned her back and went back to her gods,
which I think is symbolic of these last days of the Gentile church. Satan does not want the Gentiles to understand divine appointments. It says in Daniel the antichrist is going to change the times and the laws. He doesn’t want us to know, so we’re not there for the appointments.
SID: Well these divine appointments are not something that someone has to attend. But my mother didn’t raise a dummy. Who would not want to be at a divine appointment which God says He promises to show up at? I want to find out in detail about this divine appointment of the return of the Messiah that’s built into God’s feasts.
