What are the feasts of Israel?
God gave Israel a calendar of holy festivals (Leviticus 23) — Passover, Unleavened Bread, Firstfruits, Pentecost, Trumpets, Day of Atonement, Tabernacles. Each one had national meaning and prophetic significance fulfilled in Christ.
Spring feasts (Passover, Unleavened Bread, Firstfruits, Pentecost) cluster around redemption — beautifully fulfilled in Jesus’ death, burial, resurrection, and Pentecost.
Fall feasts (Trumpets, Day of Atonement, Tabernacles) gather around final ingathering — many Christians see them anticipating Christ’s return, judgment, and dwelling with us forever.
The feasts are not just history. They are theology: God’s rescue, his presence, his future kingdom — all encoded in a calendar.
