This is totally untrue. Every feast has an ongoing or future fulfillment. Unleavened Bread is ongoing as we are to get rid of leaven daily. Pentecost has been partially fulfilled via the former rain leading to the fulfillment of one of the two wave loaves offered on that day. The latter rain is yet to come on a future Pentecost fulfilling the second wave loaf. The Day of Trumpets has not been fulfilled at all. The Day of Atonement has a future fulfillment in the anti-typical Jubilee trumpet being blown to signal the resurrection and freedom for the captives of death. Tabernacles has not been fulfilled at all as you said. No shadow can cease until the reality has come. They all point to unfulfilled aspects of the plan of salvation.Because the only feast day remaining an unfulfilled shadow is the feast of tabernacles, a feast now impossible to observe by Jews as they have no temple to visit as was compulsory in the original Torah, and impossible for a Gentile to observe for the same reason including the additional idea that it is quite meaningless for anyone other than Jews because we have no memory or history of the wandering in the wilderness.
The weekly Sabbath also had sacrificial requirements that needed to be carried out at the temple (Numbers 28:9-10). You cannot apply your no temple argument against the feasts and not against the Sabbath.
As for the feast of tabernacles being meaningless to Gentiles, I am a Gentile and it has tremendous meaning for me. Why? Because I know what it is all about whereas the majority of Gentile believers are ignorant of it because their church leaders are ignorant of it and don't teach about it. Of course it will be meaningless to the ignorant.
I never heard of "the antitypical day of atonement". We are living in the reality of part of the shadow (the part about the two goats being fulfilled).Christians today, though they are, for the most part unaware, are living in the antitypical day of atonement now.
Yes. That will be the reality. At this time, we are still living under the shadow and must therefore continue as such until the reality comes causing the shadow to cease.After the second coming a very real fulfilment of the feast of tabernacles will be able to be celebrated in glory.
