“Leviticus 23 is the single chapter of the entire Tanakh that sums up everything. God's eternal plan -- from chaos to eternity -- is ingeniously revealed through the nature and timing of the Seven annual Feasts of the LORD.”
- The Feasts were given by God, not the government. (Columbus Day, Labor Day, July 4th ~ these are government “feasts”).
- Gentile Believers are not required to “keep” the feasts, however having a knowledge of them will certainly enhance your faith.
- Our Lord kept every one of them without fail, even celebrating Passover on His last earthly night. AND he will fulfill the remaining feasts in the near future!
- To each feast there is a:
- Historical meaning ~ relating to Israel
- Prophetic meaning ~ pointing to Messiah
- Personal meaning ~ always something for you and me, a teaching for our lives
- God meets us in time.
- Israel lived by the feasts as their calendar. By watching the moon, you can keep the calendar. 2014-2015 brings Four Blood Moons that correspond to the feasts. Very interesting and I will blog about that soon.
The feasts are still celebrated today by the Jews, however in an “altered form”. Without the proper Temple of God in Jerusalem, the original meaning efficacy of the feasts has been completely lost. And without a knowledge of the New Testament, even the fulfillments of the feasts—the most far reaching and momentous features of their meanings—are lost.
Today, we are living between two of the feasts; Pentecost and Trumpets ~ we are living in the long summer of the church age, anxiously awaiting the blowing of the Trumpet!
Next time, I will further detail each feast, beginning with Passover.
Shalom,
Kelly
