God’s calendar is first mentioned in Genesis 1:14. It is written by God that He appointed the sun and moon to determine “signs and seasons” and “days and years.” These “appointed times” are the feasts listed in Leviticus 23. God created a complete calendar for humans in the beginning. Today God’s calendar is called the Hebrew Calendar, and it is used to determine the dates of God’s annual holy days. Many people have been taught that since Jesus Christ fulfilled the law, God’s holy days have no value for Christians. Nothing is further from the truth! Our Lord Jesus celebrated each feast. The real meaning of these festivals was a mystery for the ancient Israelites. Today, the real significance remains hidden for Jews and for Christians. These feasts are understood with the help of God’s spirit. Knock, Seek, and He shall reveal.

The Feast of Unleavened Bread is a memorial to the miraculous escape from Egypt. It reminds God’s chosen that they must flee from their slavery. They couldn’t wait for their bread to rise. To depart on their new freedom journey, they had to willingly leave unprepared and dependent on God for all things.

A blood sacrifice was required, to be cleansed of sin. God declared the day of atonement. The Bible says in Zechariah 14:16-19 that the new world will keep the Feast of Tabernacles. God wrote in  John 7 the things that Jesus did and taught while He, the Son of God, walked among us. Jesus tabernacled aming us.  Jesus said I must go away so that the Holy Spirit can come and tabernacle in each believer. Trust His Purpose

Zechariah 14:6 “On that day there will be neither sunlight nor cold, frosty darkness. It will be a unique day—a day known only to the Lord—with no distinction between day and night. When evening comes, there will be light. The Lord will be king over the whole earth. On that day there will be one Lord, and his name the only name. It will be inhabited; never again will it be destroyed. Jerusalem will be secure.”  The last feast of the year is celebrated immediately after the seven-day Feast of Tabernacles. This Eighth Day represents the time beyond the 1000-year reign of Christ when all people who have lived will be resurrected and judged (Revelation 20:11-22:5). During the judgement period, those who never heard about Jesus Christ, and those who heard but chose to reject the truth. (Matthew 13:10-15, 19; John 6:44; Acts 2:39), will be resurrected to physical life and given their first opportunity for salvation (Ezekiel 37:1-14; Matthew 11:21-24; 12:41-42). John 8:1-10:21 describes what Jesus did and taught on this holy 8th day. Just as Jesus open the eyes of the blind and forgave a woman who was caught in sin, Jesus will open the eyes of all people and forgive those who are willing to repent of their sins during the judgment period (John 7:37-39; 3:16; Hebrews 9:27; 2 Peter 3:9).

Jesus was crucified just before the “Passover”.  Jesus was resurrected during the Feast of “First Fruits”.   SIGNIFICANT FEAST DAYS.  Luke 22:1-8 NLT  “The Festival of Unleavened Bread, which is also called Passover, was approaching.  The leading priests and teachers of religious law were plotting how to kill Jesus, but they were afraid of the people’s reaction. Then SATAN entered into JUDAS Iscariot, who was one of the twelve disciples, and he went to the leading priests and captains of the Temple guard to discuss the best way to betray Jesus to them.  They were delighted, and they promised to give him MONEY. So Judas agreed and began looking for an opportunity to BETRAY Jesus so they could arrest him when the crowds weren’t around.   Now the Festival of Unleavened Bread arrived, when the Passover lamb is sacrificed. Jesus sent Peter and John ahead and said, “Go and prepare the Passover meal, so we can eat it together.”
