The Feasts of the Lord

For over a thousand years the seven Feasts of the Lord were celebrated by the Jews as backward-looking memorials of events which had already taken place in the history of Israel. However during the time of Christ's crucifixion a curious pattern began to emerge which revealed a forward-looking prophetic aspect of the seven holidays of God. Very quickly the early church was surprised to discover that certain aspects of Jesus' death and resurrection had exactly mirrored the celebratory activities of those holidays which God had preordained! The seven holidays of God which to that point had been celebrated only as memorials of events which had occurred in times past were now clearly revealed as prophecies of a true reality that would find fulfillment in Jesus Christ. Over three thousand years ago God provided Israel with a prophetic calendar of His divine appointments with mankind seven Feasts of the Lord which detail seven redemptive acts of Christ from Calvary to the Millennial Reign.
