The biblical feasts, as outlined in Leviticus 23, are seven "appointed times" for God's people, consisting of the Passover, Feast of Unleavened Bread, Feast of First Fruits, Pentecost (or Feast of Weeks), Feast of Trumpets, Day of Atonement, and the Feast of Tabernacles. These feasts have historical, agricultural, and prophetic significance, pointing to God's past works, present blessings, and future plan for humanity, which is often seen as being fulfilled in Jesus Christ.
The Seven Feasts of the Lord
These feasts are significant because they were commanded by God as holy convocations, meant to be sacred and set apart.
1. Passover (Pesach)
This foundational feast commemorates God's deliverance of the Israelites from slavery in Egypt.

2. Feast of Unleavened Bread:
This seven-day festival, following Passover, marks the departure from Egypt and symbolizes a life without the "leaven" of sin.

3. Feast of First Fruits (Bikkurim):
This feast celebrates the first harvest and represents the resurrection of Jesus Christ, who was raised from the dead as the first to experience eternal life.
4. Pentecost (Feast of Weeks, Shavuot):
Held 50 days after Passover, this feast celebrates the harvest and signifies the outpouring of the Holy Spirit on the apostles.

5. Feast of Trumpets (Yom Teruah):
This feast marks the beginning of the civil year and is associated with a trumpet's call, foreshadowing Jesus's second coming.

6. Day of Atonement (Yom Kippur):
This is a day of repentance and atonement, a solemn observance that points to a future complete reconciliation between God and His people.

7. Feast of Tabernacles (Sukkot):
This festival celebrates God's provision during Israel's time in the wilderness and looks forward to a time of future fulfillment and God's presence with humanity.
Significance
Prophetic Meaning:
The feasts provide a framework for understanding God's plan for salvation, revealing events from the past, present, and future.
Jesus Christ's Fulfillment:
Many Christians believe these feasts were fulfilled or will be fulfilled in significant ways through Jesus Christ.

Worship:
God commanded these feasts as a way for the Israelites to worship Him, remember His actions, and maintain faithfulness.
