1) Passover This feast commemorates the deliverance of Israel from death in Egypt by the blood of a lamb on their door posts. Jesus is the Lamb of God who delivers the world by his blood shed on the wood of a cross.
2) Unleavened Bread For seven days they ate bread with no leaven, symbolizing the absence of sin and corruption in their life. Jesus is the Bread from heaven who lived a sinless life and nourishes our soul.
3) First Fruits This feast celebrates the first harvest of the year and the resurrection of the dead. Jesus is the first fruits of those who slept, the firstborn from the dead, as he rose to life on the third day after his crucifixion.
4) Pentecost This feast marks the giving of the law to Moses on Mount Sinai and the giving of the Holy Spirit to God's faithful. Jesus is both the fulfillment of the law and the Spirit that gives his people life.
5) Trumpets This feast announces with trumpets the preparation for the Day of Atonement. The return of Jesus will also be announced with the trumpet of God.
6) Atonement On this day men afflicted their souls and the high priest sacrificed animals by fire to atone for the sins of the nation. Jesus is our High Priest who was beaten and scourged, and offered himself as the perfect and final sacrifice for the sin of the world.
7) Tabernacles This feast celebrates God's provision and protection for Israel in the wilderness and his dwelling among them in a temporary tent before any permanent temple was built in Jerusalem. The Word of God came to earth as the man Jesus Christ and dwelt among us temporarily before going back up.... but he will return to live with us forever.
Prepare now for the day of the Lord!
