God gave to Moses seven days. These days describe God's plan of redemption and return. The
Spring Feasts of Passover, Unleavened Bread and Firstfruits were fulfilled with the death, burial and resurrection of Jesus Christ. Weeks was fulfilled the day God gave the Law to Moses and the Holy Spirit to the Church at
Pentecost. The last three feasts are fulfilled in the fall (September/October) with the return of Jesus Christ. These appointed times are the seven days of God.
For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures (
1 Corinthians 15:3-4).
Teshuvah - Repent & Return
Before the high holy days, there is a time of
Teshuvah. Moses cut two tablets and returned to God a second forty days.
Teshuvah means to repent and return. While Moses was on Mt. Sinai, the people wake up, review their lives and prepare for the Days of Awe. They repent of their sins to God and others and change their ways. During the Hebrew month of
Elul at the end of morning prayers, the shofar is blown.
Teshuvah ends with Trumpets and Atonement.
The Lord said unto Moses, Hew two tables of stone like the first: and I will write upon these tables the words that were in the first tables, which you broke. And he was there with the Lord forty days and forty nights; he did neither eat bread, nor drink water. And he wrote upon the tables the words of the covenant, the ten commandments (
Exodus 34:1, 28).
