In the process of revealing His plan of salvation for mankind, God established His annual Holy Days around the harvest seasons in the Middle East.  Just as His people harvested their crops around these three Festival seasons, God’s Holy Days show us how He is harvesting people for eternal life in His Kingdom.

The Day of Atonement symbolizes the reconciliation of God and all humanity.  Both the Passover and the Day of Atonement teach us about the forgiveness of sin and our reconciliation with God through Christ’s sacrifice.

Immediately after the Passover comes a Festival that depicts the next step in the fulfillment of God’s master plan.  After God, through Christ’s sacrifice, has forgiven us of our sins, we must continue to avoid sin, and go on living in the newness of life.  How do we live as God’s redeemed people?  The Feast of Unleavened Bread shows us remarkably how this was accomplished in Christ.

The Feast of Trumpets herald the intervention of God in the affairs of humanity on a global basis. The Feast of Trumpets, through careful study depicts nothing less than the return of Jesus Christ for His Church at the last trump, just before God pours His wrath and judgment on a sinful and Christ rejecting world.

God provides picture after picture of His entire plan for mankind and one of the most startling prophetic pictures is outlined for us in the Jewish feasts of Leviticus 23. He has carefully planned and orchestrated the timing and sequence of each of these seven feasts to reveal to us a special story. For both Jews and non-Jews who have placed their faith in Jesus, the Jewish Messiah, these special days demonstrate the work of redemption through God’s Son.
