Temple To Telos:: A Study of the Relationship Between the First Century Jewish Temple and Eschatology

By Don K. Preston

The Jerusalem temple was the focal point of the celebration of the seven feast days of the Lord. Those feast days, overseen by the Levitical priesthood, were a foundational part of the Law of Moses. The feast days were to be celebrated as long as the Law of Moses was in effect. All agree that the first four feast days were prophetic foreshadows of the ministry of Christ, his passion and resurrection. All agree that the final three feast days foreshadowed the coming kingdom, Judgment, Day of the Lord, Resurrection and the New Creation. The first four of the feast days were fulfilled while the first century Jerusalem temple and the Levitical priesthood were still valid and in effect- no one denies this . Why then, would that same temple not have to be standing for the fulfillment of the final three feast days, which foreshadowed the kingdom, Judgment, Day of the Lord, Resurrection and the New Creation? All three futurist eschatologies teach that the Law of Moses was fulfilled and past away in the first century, never to be restored. Yet, all three futurist eschatologies say that what those final three feast days foreshadowed, the kingdom, Judgment, Day of the Lord, Resurrection and the New Creation has not come to pass! If those feast days, commanded by the Law of Moses, were not fulfilled while the Law of Moses, the temple and the priesthood were still operative and binding, then God's promises found in those feast days failed! BUT, since the Lord Himself removed the Law of Moses, the temple, the priesthood and the feast days, in AD 70, does this not prove that the final three feast days and what they foreshadowed were fulfilled at that time? That first century Jerusalem Temple was to stand, functioning under the Law of Moses, until the Telos: This is Temple to Telos! This book is truly unique, unprecedented! There is literally nothing else like it, anywhere! This is Volume V in a series investigating the end of the Law of Moses.
