The 7 Feasts of the Lord are
God's Calendar Of Redeeming Grace;
As proven by Jesus in the first 4 Feasts as prophesied:
His Sinless Sacrificial death
His Resurrection
and
Gift
of the Holy Spirit.
The Hebrew
word translated "Feasts" means "Appointed Times". "Appointed Times" with God -
at HIS Feasts. Lev. 23: 2, 4, 37 and 44
Spring:
Passover
aka Good Friday / Jesus
Crucifixion
Unleavened Bread aka Pursuit
of Holiness; Sinlessness
First Fruits
aka Easter / Jesus Resurrection
Summer:
Feast of Weeks
aka Pentecost
Gift of Holy Spirit
Fall Feasts:
Feast of Trumpet
aka Tribulation / Repentance
Feast of Atonement aka
Day of Judgment
Feast of Tabernacles aka The New Heavens
New Earth
New Jerusalem
ALL of scripture is built upon the foundation of
God's
redemptive plan, as outlined
in the 7 Feasts Of
The Lord, per Leviticus 23:
From
the promise of Abraham to Isaac on Mount Moriah, in Gen. 22:8, that God Himself would provide a lamb (Jesus at Passover
/ Redemption).
To Jesus’ Resurrection on the Feast of First Fruits, then the Holy Spirit sent on Feast of Weeks.
To Jesus second coming, Judgment & Kingdom as prophesied in feasts of Trumpets & Atonement, to Rev. 22 where we
dwell (Tabernacle) at the throne of God with the Lamb of God, in a temple made without hands, eternal in the heavens.
And particularly
the intricate relationship of the pursuit of HOLINESS, to the 4th commandment, the Sabbath, Jubilee, Millennial
Kingdom & ultimately to the Feast of Tabernacles.
The symbolic sacrificial Lamb at the Feast of Passover a.k.a. Crucifixion prophetically
foreshadowed Jesus’ sacrificial death for the forgiveness of our sins. Therefore without Passover and the other feasts, there would have been no biblical basis, for theological
development regarding forgiveness of sins and God's redemptive plan.
Likewise the next
3 feasts, were also satisfied by Jesus 1st coming: The Feast of Unleavened Bread, symbolic of
Jesus’ sinless nature, or the Feast of First Fruits a.k.a. Easter where He is the "first fruits"
of God’s grace; by making available to us the gift of salvation, through belief in His resurrection and deity, Or at
the Feast of Weeks; a.k.a. Pentecost with the gift / empowerment of the Holy Spirit to be witnesses; to this
gift of salvation through Jesus sacrificial death. Feast of Weeks is also called the "second
harvest - of first fruits" for those who believe.
Consequently,
these 7 feasts are the foundation upon which ALL of Scripture is built upon.
It is extremely profound to realize that there would have been NO redemptive plan for mankind -
if God had not instituted the 7 Feasts of the Lord, according to Leviticus 23.
These 7 feasts outline God's redemptive plan for both Jesus' 1st
and 2nd coming.
In like manner, the last 3 feasts of Trumpets, Atonement and Tabernacles are part of God's
total redemptive plan, yet to be completed, of restoring mankind to Himself. Eschatology is the theological
term used for the study of prophecy related to these last 3 feasts.
==========================================================
A Study of the first 4 feasts of fulfilled prophecy, including additional insights such
as: The Hebrew Names for God; i.e. Elohim & it's Etymology,
Historical Overview, Feasts Calendaring, Passover, the Seder, and a discussion on the Gifts
of the Spirit and more.
And finally a Bible doctrine of "Eschatology", or "study of the
last things", as applied
to the last 3 Feasts of Trumpets, Atonement & Tabernacles:
- Starting at the Feast of Trumpets with the
"Days Of Awe" (Repentance).
- Including the last (7th) sabbatical year of 7 years to initiate the Tribulation period.
- Culminating at the Feast of Atonement.
- Followed immediately by Jubilee to initiate
the Millennial Kingdom.
The Feasts are God's Calendar of Redeeming Grace.

Now the last 3 Feasts & Jesus
