My desire is as you’ve read and studied “Journey through the Feasts of the Lord,” you have discovered the Feasts are connected to major events in history. They are marked by the times of the Feasts of the Lord. For example, the Feast of Trumpets commemorate the “birthday of the world,” the day of the creation of Adam and Eve, at Rosh Hashanah, which is also the Jewish New Year. God gave the law and 10 commandments to Moses at Mount Sinai during the time of Pentecost. The major events in Christ’s redemption of mankind are tied to the three main feasts: Passover, Pentecost and Tabernacles. Jesus had to die during the Feast of Passover. He could not have died at any other time because He is the sacrificial lamb given for the sin (sin not sins, speaking of the sin nature) of the whole world. The outpouring of the Holy Spirit, whom Jesus said the Father would send in His name, occurred at Pentecost. And the Feast of Tabernacles is related to Jesus’ second coming in all His Fulness and Glory, and the Marriage of the Lamb! We saw how the Throne of Judgment has become a Throne of Grace! Many are beginning to follow the Feast of the Lord again. The Tabernacle of the David is truly being Restored in these last days! You have unearthed treasures not seen by the natural eye but by a fresh understanding of the Feasts of Lord! You have only just begun. Keep digging for the Treasures of the Lord!
