A special season known as Teshuvah, which in Hebrew means “to return or repent,” begins on the first day of the month of Elul and continues 40 days, ending with Yom Kippur. Thirty days into Teshuvah, on Tishrei l, comes Rosh HaShanah. This begins a final ten-day period beginning on Rosh HaShanah and ending on Yom Kippur. These are known as the High Holy Days and as the Awesome Days (Yamim Nora’im, the days of awe).

The seven-day Feast of Tabernacles pictures the 1,000 year reign of Jesus Christ over the earth after His second coming (Revelation 20:4). This Feast also reflects the “rest” symbolized by the weekly Sabbath (Hebrews 4:1-11) that celebrates the great harvest of humanity when all living people will learn God’s ways.  Humanity will at last be restored to a right relationship with God (Isaiah 11:9-10).

The Feast of Passover was given by God to be a rehearsal of the First Coming of Jesus Christ. Jesus’ sacrifice is the pivotal event in God’s plan to save humanity. Speaking of His certain death, Christ said that He, as the Son of Man, must be “lifted up” (crucified) even as “Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness,” so that “whoever believes in Him should not perish but have eternal life.”
