The Gospel & the feasts of Israel We are pleased to offer a series of studies on the Jewish Feasts of the Lord. Rather than regard these as Jewish traditions only, we want to show that in some way, Jesus and God’s plan of redemption is seen in some way in these observances. Passover and the Exodus has great significance to Jew and Christian alike. It speaks of a sacrificial lamb and deliverance from bondage. Paul said in 1 Corinthians 5;7 that Jesus is our Passover. Crossing the Red Sea has significance to us, representing how the old life has been left behind in order that we can start a new life. The Tabernacle that God commanded Moses to build so that He could dwell with His people also represents Jesus and God’s plan of salvation. Our series of presentations is by no means all-embracing, but we attempt to cover the core of each topic, relating to the original Hebrew as much as possible. We hope you are blessed and encouraged. The old system of living under the law presented us with only a faint shadow, a crude outline of the reality of the wonderful blessings to come. Even with its steady stream of sacrifices offered year after year, there still was nothing that could make our hearts perfect before God. Jewish feasts represent the promise and the fulfilment of the promise in Jesus. A Hebrew word for Feast is Mo’ed, meaning Appointed Time, so they are appointed times set By God for His people to spend with Him. The Lord has set these special times to meet with His people. Scriptures show us that God took the initiative. Separated by sin, man could not otherwise reach out to God.

An overview of the feasts
Three times a year shall all your males appear before the Lord your God in the place which He chooses: at the Feast of Unleavened Bread, at the Feast of Weeks, and at the Feast of Tabernacles or Booths. They shall not appear before the Lord empty-handed: Every man shall give as he is able, according to the blessing of the Lord your God which He has given you. Deuteronomy 16:16-17. See also Exodus 23:14-19. God is light and that He made the rainbow as a token of His covenant. The rainbow has three major colours, each manifest in seven primary colours. There are three Feasts of the Lord, each of which are comprised of sub-sections or feasts.
The second group is the time we know as Pentecost. It is the Feast of Weeks and is seen in Leviticus 23:15-22. The last group of feasts comprises the Feast of Trumpets seen in Leviticus 23:23-25, the Feast of Atonement seen in Leviticus 23:236-32 and the Feast of Tabernacles seen in Leviticus 23:33-34. Please notice that they are God’s Feasts. They were to be held in the place of His choosing or appointment and they were to be held at the time He prescribed. If you look at these things in the light of redemption, God chose Jesus to be our Passover Lamb, God chose the appointed time and God’s appointed place was Golgotha’s ugly tree... the cross. What is given to us is there to reveal Jesus and God’s plan for us. Everything points to the Son of God. There is therefore much more to this than meets the eye, but having said that, please understand that I am not advocating that Christians start embracing Judaism in any way whatsoever. Enter into the liberty with which Christ has made us free. Jesus is our Passover Lamb
As I stated before Jesus was Jewish. Jesus… the Jew Is Our Passover Lamb.
He was brought up in accordance with The Law. And when eight days were accomplished for the circumcising of the child, his name was called JESUS, which was so named of the angel before he was conceived in the womb. And when the days of her purification according to the law of Moses were accomplished, they brought him to Jerusalem, to present him to the Lord; (As it is written in the law of the Lord, Every male that openeth the womb shall be called holy to the Lord;) And to offer a sacrifice according to that which is said in the law of the Lord, A pair of turtledoves, or two young pigeons. Luke 2:21-24. See also Exodus 13:1-2; Leviticus 12:2-4.
