The Feasts of Israel are tied to significant prophetic events of our Messiah Jesus Christ. Listed below are events on the Feasts of Israel and the relationship of the Old Testament and the New Testament.
1. The Passover- The 14th day of Abib.
Old Testament: For remembrance for freedom from Egyptian bondage and to remind Israel that if they do what God tells them to he will save them. On this day in particular by the blood of the sacrificed Lamb being placed on the door posts of the Hebrews for salvation from the destroyer. The Destroyer Passed over and did not kill their first born.
New Testament: Jesus was crucified on the cross for the sacrifice for our sin, so that we can have freedom from the bondage of sin. The Lamb of God gave his life blood to save us from sin and death, if we will do what he has told us to. Repent, be baptized, keep the commandments of God and have the testimony of Jesus Christ.
2. The Feast of Unleavened Bread: 15th day of Abib.
Old Testament: Commemorates the hardships of the people of Israel, during their flight to escape the bondage of Egypt.
New Testament: The body of Jesus Christ is placed into the tomb.
3. The Feast of First Fruits: 16th day of Abib.
Old Testament: This day is to dedicate the First Fruits of the Barley harvest to God Almighty.
New Testament: Jesus Christ is resurrected on this day. Jesus is the first of the first fruits showing us the way to resurrection.
4. The Feast of Pentecost: On the day after the 7th Sabbath
Old Testament: 3,000 are slain for turning away from God, after Mosses returns from mountains with the Commandments of God. Dedicated to the first fruits of the wheat harvest.
New Testament: 3,000 are saved when the Holy Spirit comes upon them, during St. Peters sermon of the Pentecost. They repent, and are Baptized in the name of Jesus Christ. They are led to God, through Jesus Christ.
5. The Feast of Trumpets :
Old Testament: A day to proclaim Liberty and ushers in the Sabbatical month.
New Testament: This is the day of the rapture. A day to proclaim Liberty. The day of the last trump when the mystery of God is revealed. The day the dead rise and Jesus sends his angels to gather us up, just before he sends down fire to destroy the unrepentant.
6. The Day of Atonement: 10th day of the 7th month.
Old Testament: This is the day for the atonement of sins. This is done by giving sacrifices at the Temple.
New Testament: This is the day Jesus will intercede for us to the Father on judgment day, because Jesus has atoned for our sin. Jesus is our perfect sacrifice for our sin.
7. The Feast of Tabernacles:
Old Testament: This is done to remember God’s protection and shelter, during the Hebrews years of wandering in the wilderness and to rejoice for the completion of harvest.
New Testament: Jesus brings the Kingdom of Heaven and rules for 1,000 years. Thus, giving us protection and shelter. This completes the harvest for God’s Kingdom.
