The growth of a believer and actually the church itself are mirrored in the feasts. At Passover, a lamb was slain and the blood put on the doorposts of the house which saved the people when the death angel passed through the camp in Egypt. We know that Jesus is the lamb slain from the foundation of the world and Passover equates to our salvation experience. Pentecost deals with the infilling of the Holy Spirit. It's NT expression was when the Holy Spirit fell in the upper room (Acts 2). In Ephesians 1:13,14 Paul said that what they received was a pledge of the fullness to come. Thus perfection would not come until the manifestation of the third and final feast of Tabernacles. Obviously, this is a very quick explanation. If you want to study it in depth, please contact me.
