The Church's Roots

The Feasts of the Lord

The Feasts of the LORD were given to Israel in Leviticus 23. Many people today look at them as mere cultural observances but they are much more than that. They are the testimony of God's faithful working on behalf of mankind and they are prophetic reminders of God's promises to us. They all focus on one person, the Messiah. The foundational feast is Passover and all the others develop out of it.

Many teachings of Jesus, as well as the Apostles, are rooted in the feasts of the Lord. In fact, they are the outline of God's plan of salvation.

Passover - Unleavened Bread - Firstfruits - Pentecost - Trumpets - Atonement - Tabernacles

Bible Studies

The Bible is about 1/3 prophesy, many of which have been fulfilled. They happened just as the prophets predicted. Since the prophets did not speak on their own, but were moved by the Holy Spirit, there is no reason to not expect the rest will come true as well.

"And we have the word of the prophets made more certain, and you will do well to pay attention to it, as to a light shinning in a dark place, until the day dawns and the morning star rises in your hearts." 2 Peter 1:19

Since the prophets spoke as they were inspired by the Holy Spirit, we need the Holy Spirit's help in understanding them. We should always approach them with prayer, endeavoring to accept them as literal unless Scripture clearly indicates they are symbolic.
