Then you can have your own visual reference to study the divine order of God’s plan as seen through the Feasts of the Lord in Biblical prophecy. |
Leviticus (Vayikra) 23:1 And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying, 2.Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, Concerning the feasts of the Lord, which ye shall proclaim to be Holy Convocations, even these are my feasts. The first and most frequent Holy Day given to man, the Shabbat: Leviticus (Vayikra) 23:3. Six days shall work be done: but the seventh day is the Sabbath of rest, an Holy Convocation; ye shall do no work therein: it is the Sabbath of the Lord in all your dwellings. 4.These are the feasts of the Lord, even Holy Convocations, which ye shall proclaim in their seasons. The Fall Holy days of Yom Teruah or Feast of Trumpets: Leviticus (Vayikra):23. And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying, 24.Speak unto the children of Israel, saying, In the seventh month, in the first day of the month, shall ye have a Sabbath, a memorial of blowing of trumpets, an Holy Convocation. 25.Ye shall do no servile work therein: but ye shall offer an offering made by fire unto the Lord. Numbers (B'Midbar) 29:1 And in the seventh month, on the first day of the month, ye shall have an Holy Convocation; ye shall do no servile work: it is a day of blowing the trumpets unto you. The Fall Holy Day of Atonement or Yom Kippur: Leviticus (Vayikra) 23:26. And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying, 27.Also on the tenth day of this seventh month there shall be a day of atonement: it shall be an Holy Convocation unto you; and ye shall afflict your souls, and offer an offering made by fire unto the Lord. 28.And ye shall do no work in that same day: for it is a day of atonement, to make an atonement for you before the Lord your God. 29.For whatsoever soul it be that shall not be afflicted in that same day, he shall be cut off from among his people. 30.And whatsoever soul it be that doeth any work in that same day, the same soul will I destroy from among his people. 31.Ye shall do no manner of work: it shall be a statute for ever throughout your generations in all your dwellings. 32.It shall be unto you a Sabbath of rest, and ye shall afflict your souls: in the ninth day of the month at even, from even unto even, shall ye celebrate your Sabbath. Numbers (B'Midbar) 29:7. And ye shall have on the tenth day of this seventh month an Holy Convocation; and ye shall afflict your souls: ye shall not do any work therein: The Fall Holy Days of Succoth or Feast of Tabernacles outside the Land: Leviticus (Vayikra) 23:33. And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying, 34.Speak unto the children of Israel, saying, The fifteenth day of this seventh month shall be the feast of tabernacles for seven days unto the Lord. 35.On the first day shall be an Holy Convocation: ye shall do no servile work therein. 36.Seven days ye shall offer an offering made by fire unto the Lord: on the eighth day shall be an Holy Convocation unto you; and ye shall offer an offering made by fire unto the Lord: it is a solemn assembly; and ye shall do no servile work therein. 37.These are the feasts of the Lord, which ye shall proclaim to be Holy Convocations, to offer an offering made by fire unto the Lord, a burnt offering, and a meat offering, a sacrifice, and drink offerings, every thing upon his day: The Fall Holy Days of Succoth or Feast of Tabernacles in the Land: Leviticus (Vayikra) 23:38. Beside the Sabbaths of the Lord, and beside your gifts, and beside all your vows, and beside all your freewill offerings, which ye give unto the Lord. 39.Also in the fifteenth day of the seventh month, when ye have gathered in the fruit of the land, ye shall keep a feast unto the Lord seven days: on the first day shall be a Sabbath, and on the eighth day shall be a Sabbath. 40.And ye shall take you on the first day the boughs of goodly trees, branches of palm trees, and the boughs of thick trees, and willows of the brook; and ye shall rejoice before the Lord your God seven days. 41.And ye shall keep it a feast unto the Lord seven days in the year. It shall be a statute for ever in your generations: ye shall celebrate it in the seventh month. 42.Ye shall dwell in booths seven days; all that are Israelites born shall dwell in booths: 43.That your generations may know that I made the children of Israel to dwell in booths, when I brought them out of the land of Egypt: I am the Lord your God. 44.And Moses declared unto the children of Israel the feasts of the Lord. Numbers (B'Midbar) 29:12 & 35. And on the fifteenth day of the seventh month ye shall have an Holy Convocation; ye shall do no servile work, and ye shall keep a feast unto the Lord seven days: 35.On the eighth day ye shall have a solemn assembly: ye shall do no servile work therein: Feast of Purim: Esther 9:21-28 To stablish this among them, that they should keep the fourteenth day of the month Adar, and the fifteenth day of the same, yearly, 22.As the days wherein the Jews rested from their enemies, and the month which was turned unto them from sorrow to joy, and from mourning into a good day: that they should make them days of feasting and joy, and of sending portions one to another, and gifts to the poor. 23.And the Jews undertook to do as they had begun, and as Mordecai had written unto them; 24.Because Haman the son of Hammedatha, the Agagite, the enemy of all the Jews, had devised against the Jews to destroy them, and had cast Pur, that is, the lot, to consume them, and to destroy them; 25.But when Esther came before the king, he commanded by letters that his wicked device, which he devised against the Jews, should return upon his own head, and that he and his sons should be hanged on the gallows. 26.Wherefore they called these days Purim after the name of Pur. Therefore for all the words of this letter, and of that which they had seen concerning this matter, and which had come unto them, 27.The Jews ordained, and took upon them, and upon their seed, and upon all such as joined themselves unto them, so as it should not fail, that they would keep these two days according to their writing, and according to their appointed time every year; 28.And that these days should be remembered and kept throughout every generation, every family, every province, and every city; and that these days of Purim should not fail from among the Jews, nor the memorial of them perish from their seed. Festival of Lights, Feast of Dedication or Chanukah: John 10:22-23 And it was at Jerusalem the Feast of the Dedication, and it was winter. And Yeshua (Jesus) walked in the temple in Solomon's porch. (The Apostle John begins by giving us both the place and the date of this ensuing discussion. The date was the Festival of Chanukah, which means dedicate in English. It falls on the 25th of the Jewish month called Kislev to the 3rd of Tevet, which corresponds with our December. It's wintry weather in Jerusalem as well, and they were probably walking because it was brisk weather, where sitting for this discussion would have been uncomfortable on the colonnade of Solomon's Porch. The fact that John points out this feast is significant enough for us to celebrate it as Yeshua and the apostles apparently did.) The Spring Holy Days outside the Land: Leviticus (Vayikra) 23:5. In the fourteenth day of the first month at even is the Lord's Passover. 6.And on the fifteenth day of the same month is the feast of unleavened bread unto the Lord: seven days ye must eat unleavened bread. 7.In the first day ye shall have an Holy Convocation: ye shall do no servile work therein. 8.But ye shall offer an offering made by fire unto the Lord seven days: in the seventh day is an Holy Convocation: ye shall do no servile work therein. The Spring Holy Days in the Land: Leviticus (Vayikra) 23:9. And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying, 10.Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, When ye be come into the land which I give unto you, and shall reap the harvest thereof, then ye shall bring a sheaf of the firstfruits of your harvest unto the priest: 11.And he shall wave the sheaf before the Lord, to be accepted for you: on the morrow after the Sabbath the priest shall wave it. 12.And ye shall offer that day when ye wave the sheaf an he lamb without blemish of the first year for a burnt offering unto the Lord. 13.And the meat offering thereof shall be two tenth deals of fine flour mingled with oil, an offering made by fire unto the Lord for a sweet savour: and the drink offering thereof shall be of wine, the fourth part of an hin. 14.And ye shall eat neither bread, nor parched corn, nor green ears, until the selfsame day that ye have brought an offering unto your God: it shall be a statute for ever throughout your generations in all your dwellings. Numbers (B'Midbar) 28:16. And in the fourteenth day of the first month is the Passover of the Lord. 17.And in the fifteenth day of this month is the feast: seven days shall unleavened bread be eaten. 18.In the first day shall be an holy convocation; ye shall do no manner of servile work therein: 25.And on the seventh day ye shall have an holy convocation; ye shall do no servile work. Shavuot (Feast of Weeks) or Pentecost: Leviticus (Vayikra) 23:15. And ye shall count unto you from the morrow after the Sabbath, from the day that ye brought the sheaf of the wave offering; seven Sabbaths shall be complete: 16.Even unto the morrow after the seventh Sabbath shall ye number fifty days; and ye shall offer a new meat offering unto the Lord. 17.Ye shall bring out of your habitations two wave loaves of two tenth deals; they shall be of fine flour; they shall be baken with leaven; they are the firstfruits unto the Lord. 18.And ye shall offer with the bread seven lambs without blemish of he first year, and one young bullock, and two rams: they shall be for a burnt offering unto the Lord, with their meat offering, and their drink offerings, even an offering made by fire, of sweet savour unto the Lord. 19.Then ye shall sacrifice one kid of the goats for a sin offering, and two lambs of the first year for a sacrifice of peace offerings. 20.And the priest shall wave them with the bread of the firstfruits for a wave offering before the Lord, with the two lambs: they shall be holy to the Lord for the priest. 21.And ye shall proclaim on the selfsame day, that it may be an Holy Convocation unto you: ye shall do no servile work therein: it shall be a statute for ever in all your dwellings throughout your generations. 22.And when ye reap the harvest of your land, thou shalt not make clean riddance of the corners of thy field when thou reapest, neither shalt thou gather any gleaning of thy harvest: thou shalt leave them unto the poor, and to the stranger: I am the Lord your God. Numbers (B'Midbar) 28:26 After your weeks be out, ye shall have an holy convocation; ye shall do no servile work: |
