Passover has been observed in the same manner year after year at the same exact time for 3,500 years! Passover begins on the …

The Passover lamb is the center of this feast of the Lord.  It was the 10th plague – the death of the firstborn that compelled Pharaoh to let Israel go.  It was only the blood of the Passover lamb applied to the door of each home that protected the household   The lamb had to be without spot or blemish. It was taken into the home on the 10th day of the month and was killed at twilight on the 14th day of the month.
Here are some questions to seriously ponder:

Chanukah

Chanukah is the Hebrew word for Dedication, hence it is called the Feast of Dedication and is also known as the Festival of Lights. Chanukah, although not one of the biblical Feasts of the Lord, is mentioned in the Gospel of John and it appears the Messiah Himself observed this day.
John 10:22 Now it was the Feast of Dedication in Jerusalem, and it was winter.
23 And Yeshua walked in the temple, in Solomon’s porch.
Since the Feast of Dedication concerns the dedication of the temple during the time …

The Feast of Tabernacles or “Succot” in Hebrew, like all the Feasts of the Lord points back to the past – sheds light on the present and prophetically paves the way toward the future.

Leviticus 23: 34 “Speak to the children of Israel, saying: ‘The fifteenth day of this seventh month shall be the Feast of Tabernacles for seven days to the LORD

The Past: Lev 23: 42 ‘You shall dwell in booths for seven days. All who are native Israelites shall dwell in booths, 43 ‘that your generations may …

Today is considered the holiest day of the year in the Hebrew Calendar: The Day of Atonement. This was the very day when the Kohen Gadol – High Priest of Israel came into the Most Holy Place in the temple in Jerusalem to atone for his own sins and the sins of all Israel. It was only on this day that anyone could enter The Most Holy Place also known as the Holy of Holies.
The full meaning of Yom Kippor is brilliantly expressed in the New Covenant Book of …

Today, Thursday September 9, 2010 is the Feast of Trumpets:

Leviticus 23:24 “Speak to the children of Israel, saying: ‘In the seventh month, on the first day of the month, you shall have a Sabbath-rest, a memorial of blowing of trumpets, a holy convocation.
Today is the first of Tishri, Rosh Hashanah, the traditional Jewish New Year in the Hebrew Calendar. So before I add another word I would like to wish you:
HAPPY NEW YEAR!  SHANA TOVAH!
The word of God proclaims this day to be a “memorial of blowing of …

We are in the midst of the Feast of Dedication.  It is the 6th night.  This is a time to reflect on how are lives meaure up to the light we have recieved from the Lord.  Where we sense we are not measuring up this is an appropriate time to dedicate ourselves to the Lord.  The original Feast of Dedication was a dedication of the temple in Jerusalem.  Today in the light of the New Covenant (Brit Hadashah) we dedicate ourselves as in this glorious covenant we ourselves are individually and corporately the …

EXPRESSING THE TRUTH OF YOM KIPPUR AS A PRESENTATION OF THE GOSPEL TO JEWISH PEOPLE

The gospel message can be found in the each of the Feasts of the Lord.  Yom Kippor/ the Day of Atonement contains a message that can powerfully impact Jewish people. Through the meaning of Yom Kippur the message of the Messiah can be communicated in a context that Jewish people can readily understand. 
BACKGROUND OF YOM KIPPUR
Even secular Jews are familiar with Yom Kippur.  It is one of the only two days all year, along with Rosh …

Rosh Hashannah (The Head of the year)  which begins at Sundown this Monday is the Jewish New Year. Biblically this Feast of the Lord is called the Feast of Trumpets. The theme and meaning of trumpets has to do with judgement and repentance.  This is the time to reflect upon your life and examine it honestly.  It is a time for personal transparency.  Whatever we see that is not right we are to turn away from.  Whatever we sense we should be doing but have neglected to do we need to make a decision …
