Where is Jesus in these sacrificed animals? The scapegoat was to be burdened with all the sins of Israel and sent into the wilderness. Celebration always follows the Day of Atonement. The Lord himself was with the Israelites in the desert, in a tented temple called the tabernacle, so the feast also celebrates his presence as he tabernacles dwells with us. He put on a temporary tabernacle — a human body — to dwell on this earth and offer himself as a sacrifice.
This feast also points to the promise that God will return and rally with his people — in the person of Jesus. And when he does, he has promised that there will be no more death and suffering, that he himself will wipe away every tear from our eyes Revelation What a day that will be!
Even with this small glimpse into these feasts, we see his intentional love for humanity has endured centuries, and he has left us clues that foreshadow the beauty that is to come. The Old Testament has many hidden truths that, in light of the New Testament, bring a richer understanding to your life in Jesus Christ.

Paul knew this very well when he wrote the Rapture statement. Mel Sims. Paul confirmed this and told us explicitly that the resurrection happens at the Last Trumpet which is the th blast of the shofar on Rosh Hoshanah.
What do you mean by moderation. It is a true statement. There is nothing I could change. Thank You. The website is set up to automatically moderate comments from those who have not made any in the past.
I have approved your comments. The New Testament itself confirms that the feasts are fulfilled in the Messiah, in the events that happened on the same dates, in the language used to describe them and in these events actually being referred to by the feast names.
You can find early church fathers, such as Methodius documented in the article , speaking of this as common knowledge. Thanks for the article and the source references Matthew. I especially like the way you handle critics. God bless. Jesus is a false name and a lie John and 24 say that we must worship in spirit and in truth by Yahushua Himself. Also if Yahushua fulfilled these feast as you wrongfully claim then why to the Disciples and all new converts keep these feast long after His life death resurrection and accession?
Matthew Irwin does violence to the truth of scripture in his mis-understanding of it and twist the scriptures. If you look at the direct commandments of Yahuah , vs. You can think of it this way.. Who are you following? Now of course Paul never meant that the law was done away or nailed to the cross its the penalty of sin and death which has been done away with.
You must view the New Testement t through the lens of the Torah so you mis-understand it. But its also hidden in HalleluYah! If you consider that we have the direct commandments of Yahuah telling us the keep these Feast which are His appointed times as in Leviticus 23 also is the 7th day Shabbat is His appointed times these are His Feast not the Jews and these Feast were established long before any Jewish Tribe its should be Yahudim people form the tribe of Yahudah from the land of Yahudah there is NO letter J in Hebrew of Greek and it did not appear in English till about the year CE so His Name could NEVER have been Jesus which mean Hail Zeus according to some linguistic scholars.
I think you have been praising the wrong god! Something to think about there is no other name under heaven by which men must be saved Acts;4; A shadow has to be cause by a solid object which by its shadow you can find your way back to it , the Substance of it is Yahushua , that is right these are His Feast! There is so much wrong in this article and its views are distributing especially if the person writing it is educated in seminary and a supposed theologian which tells me why the world is deceived Revelation Yahushua.
Let me ask you a simple question: are you suggesting that the Jewish writers of the New Testament used a Pagan name when referring to the Messiah? Who picks and chooses where and when and what part of the ceremonial commandments you are keeping.
If you want to look to the stone tablets, they will only bring more condemnation and reveal your sin. He was raised up like the brass serpent that we will live.
He took on the curse for us. That was the forshadow. The tablets were the schoolmaster. They have faded, and the substance is in Yeshua! No longer be a servant of the law! Serve the king of Kings! What does the Bible say the definition of sin is? Transgression of the law. If God could simply do away with the law, Jesus would never had to die. The question here is… what did Jesus see at this feast that made him say that with so much passion? The Feast of Trumpets has been fulfilled by Jesus when He came to Earth the first time to offer Himself as the perfect sacrifice as the Lamb of God, our Passover Lamb, to remove the Sin of the world and all of the sins of individual people.
Are you suggesting that the Day of Atonement is on the same day as Passover? But regarding fulfillment, your theory has some chronological and logic issues. Rest in the joy and peace of knowing that Yeshua fulfills every feast commanded by God.

Romans The blood of Jesus is applied to those who have faith in Him. For example, 1 Corinthians Your boasting is not good. Do you not know that a little leaven leavens the whole lump?
Then the Lord announced the tenth plague: The Destroyer would come that night and kill the Egyptian firstborn males. But he commanded the Hebrews to sacrifice a lamb and paint its blood on the top and sides of the doorframe.
He says that Jews today consider Nisan 14 a minor holiday and refer to Nisan 15 to 21 as Passover. On Thursday, Jesus ate the Passover Feast with his disciples. The Jewish leaders arrested him that night and Rome crucified him the next day. Because Jewish days began at sunset, Jesus was crucified on the same religious calendar day as the feast, Nisan Each year before the feasts began, Jewish families completely emptied their homes of leaven Exodus Then for seven days, they ate nothing with yeast.
They also made daily food offerings. On the first and last days of the week, they held sacred assemblies at the temple and did no work. The Feast of Unleavened Bread recalled that the Hebrews fled from Egypt quickly on Nisan 15 , without time to let bread rise. Leaven often symbolized corruption and could not be used on the altar. Just as Jewish families purged yeast from their houses, so today followers of Christ purge sin from their lives:.
Let us therefore celebrate the festival, not with the old leaven, the leaven of malice and evil, but with the unleavened bread of sincerity and truth. The Feast of Firstfruits celebrated the first of the grain harvest. This was because the first sheaf of barley was a sign that God was about to bless his people with more.
So Jews brought a sheaf of barley to the temple to wave before the Lord and give thanks for the harvest to come. They could not eat any barley until they performed this ritual.
The Hebrews began celebrating this holy day after they arrived in the promised land. Jesus rose from the dead on the Feast of Firstfruits. His resurrection promises that he will resurrect those belonging to him when it is time to enter the new promised land. But in fact Christ has been raised from the dead, the firstfruits of those who have fallen asleep… For as in Adam all die, so also in Christ shall all be made alive. But each in his own order: Christ the firstfruits, then at his coming those who belong to Christ.
The Sadducees celebrated the Feast of Firstfruits on the day that followed the Sabbath that followed Passover always a Sunday. According to Harold W. These are the two years most scholars place the crucifixion. The Feast of Weeks celebrated the end of the wheat harvest. It was also called Pentecost because it came 50 days after the Sabbath of the Feast of Unleavened Bread.
Then on this day, worshipers presented two loaves of wheat bread made with leaven to the Lord. In preparation for the festival, people made provision for the poor. In time, the celebration also commemorated the giving of the law at Sinai not long after the Israelites escaped Egypt.
If Jesus was crucified in AD 30 or 33 as most scholars think, the Sadducees and Pharisees celebrated Pentecost on the same day the year of the crucifixion. On this sacred day, Jesus baptized his followers with the Holy Spirit Acts Just as the wheat harvest had produced loaves of bread, so the resurrection produced the church. Colossians tells us, "Therefore do not let anyone judge you by what you eat or drink, or with regard to a religious festival, a New Moon celebration or a Sabbath day.
These are a shadow of the things that were to come; the reality, however, is found in Christ. While it is not required for Christians to celebrate the Jewish feast days, it is beneficial to study them. Certainly, it could be beneficial to celebrate these days if it leads one to a greater understanding and appreciation for Christ's death and resurrection and the future promise of His coming.
As Christians, if we choose to celebrate these special days, we should put Christ in the center of the celebration, as the One who came to fulfill the prophetic significance of each of them. Our LORD Yeshua Jesus has literally and prophetically fulfilled the first four of the seven feasts mentioned in Leviticus 23; it is my belief that the Torah teaches that he will, likewise, literally and prophetically fulfill the final three at his soon to be second arrival.
It is this type of personal relationship that HaShem has always desired from the nation of Isra'el, and through the grace poured out to Isra'el, the surrounding Gentile nations might also see the goodness and mercy of ADONAI, and seek to become one of his treasured possessions as well read Deut.
Today, our covenant responsibilities to our Holy God have not changed any more than the covenants made with his Treasured People have changed. He is our God and we are his people!
