Finding Messiah in Triennial Qarbani
These paragraphs resolve into the following Strong Themes:
28:1-10 {p+p} Strong theme: Daily and weekly (Sabbath) offerings
28:11-31 {s+s+p} Strong theme: Offerings for the new moon and spring feast days
29:1-40 {sx9+p} Strong theme: Offerings for the fall feast days
Messiah Yeshua fulfilled the spring feasts in His first coming, and Sabbath rest prophesies of the millennium of rest we will enjoy upon His return. Now our daily offering and feast day offerings is of offering ourselves as a living sacrifice in worship of our great Creator and Redeemer.
I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that you present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service. Rom 12:1
It is the only reasonable worship in response to all Messiah Yeshua has done for us.
The strong themes divide the instruction for the spring and fall feast days. Scripture separates the feast days into three spring celebrations and three fall celebrations. Three … a sign of Messiah.
Please note that the priest operating in his priesthood, offers seventy bulls during the week of Tabernacles, and one bull on the eighth day following. By Common Theme, we realize that seventy, in Scripture, refers to the seventy nations which rebelled against YHVH at the Tower of Babel rebellion (Gen 10 and 11). Just as the High Priest serves as priest before YHVH for Israel, Israel is serving as the priesthood nation before YHVH for the seventy nations which have fallen away. Tuck this tidbit on the back burner …
Looking at the Chiastic Structure for the entire Torah portion Pinchas:
Phinehas as a Prophetic Type of Messiah reveals that Messiah, operating in His priesthood, establishes a covenant of peace for Israel which extends to the seventy nations that rebelled at Babel. Messiah takes up His priesthood that no more wrath come upon Israel, or the nations. So the angels sang at Messiah’s birth,
“Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men!” Luk 2:14
Next, we have that the believing generation enters its promise under Joshua, not Moses. Those who do works in unbelief or apart from faith, will not inherit salvation on their merit, but those who believe will inherit salvation.
Do we then nullify the Law through faith? God forbid! Rather, we establish the Law. Rom 3:31
That is, obedience flows from the saved—the New Testament calls it sanctification—but it is not the means of being saved—that, the New Testament calls justification.
The theme of Pinchas is that the everlasting priesthood of Yeshua, Phinehas by type, establishes the covenant of peace between God and Israel, even to all seventy nations, so that Yeshua, Joshua by type, leads those who believe to inherit salvation by grace through faith, but unbelief, or works, will not inherit salvation.
