Each one points in a unique way to some aspect of the life and work of the promised Messiah
three fall feasts which are yet to be fulfilled in the life and work of the Messiah. Because Jesus literally fulfilled the first four feasts and did so on the actual feast days, I think it is safe to assume that the last three will also be fulfilled and that their fulfillment will occur on the actual feast days. We cannot be certain how they will be fulfilled, but my guess is that they most likely have the following prophetic implications: three fall feasts which are yet to be fulfilled in the life and work of the Messiah.

According to the view most frequently expressed in the Talmud, there would be 6,000 years of human toil and strife followed by 1,000 years of peace.

Revelation 20 confirmed this deduction by stating six times that the reign would last a thousand years.

Jesus Himself emphasized this when He said, "Anyone who has seen Me, has seen the Father" (John 14:9). The Jewish rituals were only temporary visual aids. God used them as object lessons to teach the Jewish people about their coming Messiah. We no longer need these rituals to show us the way to God. But this does not mean, however, that these Hebrew visual aids are no longer valuable to us as Christians. They still are very useful in helping us to better understand how to know God and walk with Him through a personal relationship with Jesus."
