Figs Poached In Red Wine With Oranges And Mascarpone Crea

First, the seventh-day commemoration in Gen. 2:3 and Israel’s Sabbath ordinance is transferred to the first day of the week because of Christ’s resurrection. Second, Israel’s way of observing the Sabbath, with all its detailed requirements, falls away, and there is a return to the creational mandate. The observance of this mandate is a day of commemoration of God’s creative rest, a celebration that Christ has entered that rest, that believers have begun to enter such rest, and a pointing forward to believers completely entering that rest. Third, Christ’s coming fulfills Israel’s unique Sabbath commandment, since He is Israel’s Messiah, accomplishing Israel’s end-time exodus and representing true Israel and the end-time temple.

In a large saucepan combine the wine and the granulated sugar, bring

dissolved. Add the figs, simmer the mixture, covered, for 35 minutes,
or until the figs are very tender, and add the lemon juice. Transfer
the figs with a slotted spoon to a bowl and boil the liquid until it
is syrupy. Pour the poaching liquid over the figs and let the mixture
cool to room temperature. In a bowl with an electric mixer beat the
mascarpone with the brown sugar until it is fluffy and beat in the
sour cream. Arrange the orange slices around the edge of a large
platter, mound the figs in the center, and pour the syrup over them.
