In the Old Testament, God gave instructions to Moses for the nation of Israel to observe seven appointed feasts throughout the year and each of these had great significance to what our Lord Jesus had done and will do in the future.
1. Feast of Unleavened Bread - Leviticus 23:6-8
2. Feast of Passover - Leviticus 23:4-5
3. Feast of First Fruits - Leviticus 23:9-14
4. Feast of Weeks - Leviticus 23:15-22
5. Feast of Trumpets - Leviticus 23:23-25
6. Day of Atonement - Leviticus 23:26-32
7. Feast of Tabernacles - Leviticus 23:33-36
The first four Jewish feasts had already been fulfilled by our Lord
1. Feast of Unleavened Bread - on Good Friday for one week after
2. Feast of Passover - on Good Friday when Jesus became the Passover Lamb for us
3. Feast of First Fruits - on Easter Sunday morning when the Jews started to bring in the first harvest
4. Feast of Weeks - on the Day of Pentecost when God sent forth His Holy Spirit
and the last three have not yet been fulfilled.
And so, every year as we remember the last three Jewish Feasts I would be looking forward to their respective fulfillment and that keeps me excited.
I'm excited too. Thanks for sharing the blessing of the feast days.
ReplyDeleteIndeed Robin, great things do happen on these Feasts days and the next important Feast day is the last day of Sukkot which will take place on Wednesday Oct 3rd - so watch the Hand of our ABBA Father in His blessings for His people.
