Page 80 - Gods Plan of the Ages

Christians who walk in a manner unworthy of Christ will not only be excluded from being
numbered among the firstborn of Yahshua, they will have to experience "apollumi" in the
lake of fire, because they did not present themselves to God as "aliving sacrifice" in this
present age.

Revelation 2:11
"He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches. He who overcomes
will not be hurt by the second death."

Revelation 20:14
This is the second death, the lake of fire.

There is a parallel observed between the baking of the leavened loaves of wheat at
Pentecost and the Christians who share a place with the unbelievers in the lake of fire. The
action of the yeast in wheat bread continues to cause the bread to rise until the bread is
placed in the oven and baked. The heat of the oven stops the reaction between the leaven
and the gluten in the bread. Similarly, many Christians will only turn away from sin and
learn righteousness as they go through the heat of the lake of fire.
The last feast of the year is Tabernacles, often called Sukkot, or the Feast of Booths.
It is held in conjunction with the harvest of grapes. Grapes represent those men and women
who have given themselves fully over to sensuality and have become the enemies of God.
Even as the fruit of the grape can induce drunkenness, attended by an absence of
self-control, so too are there many men and women who set aside all inhibitions and give
themselves fully to a pursuit of selfish pleasure and ungodliness.

Romans 1:32
Though they are fully aware of God's righteous decree that those who do such things
deserve to die, they not only do them themselves but approve and applaud others who
practice them.
(Amplified Bible)

These are the last to come to maturity. They are the last group from among mankind
to be resurrected. They must experience the wrath of God in full measure. Having this
introduction to the symbolism of the three feasts established by Yahweh, let us look once
more at Paul's words to the saints in Corinth relating to Christ's work of subjecting all
things to the Father.

I Corinthians 15:22-26
For as in Adam all die, so also in Christ all shall be made alive. But each in his own order:
the anointed first fruits (Barley/Passover), after that those who are Christ's at His coming
(Wheat/Pentecost), then the remainder (Grapes/Tabernacles), when He delivers up the
kingdom to the God and Father, when He has abolished all rule and all authority and
power. For He must reign until He has put all His enemies under His feet.

The more one learns about the Feasts, the better able they may discern the
relationship between the feasts and the resurrections as described by Paul in these words.
At Passover the firstfruits offered to Yahweh were to be anointed with oil.
