The Second Resurrection and Beyond

Filling In the Gap: Why Trumpets, Atonement and the Feast of Tabernacles Are Separated
I previously wrote about how the holy days are actually cyclical, building upon each other. Today, I would like to take it one step further. I believe, and this is not necessarily orthodox Church of God doctrine, that even when the New Jerusalem comes down to earth, the holy days will…
