Fall Biblical Holidays
|
There have been people looking for information related to the fall Biblical festivals: Yom Teruah or Feast of Trumpets (aka Rosh Hashanah), Yom Kippur, The Day of Atonement, and Sukkot, the Feast of Tabernacles. These links are for articles written last fall. I hope to be able to shed further light on these special holy days this year, as our understanding and knowledge has grown a little more. It is generally taught that Yeshua (Jesus) fulfilled the spring festivals in His first coming and will fulfill the fall festivals at His second coming. Understand that several months have passed since the spring festivals - Passover, Unleavened Bread, Firstfruits and The feast of Weeks. Each of these festivals, spring and fall, are wonderful object lessons where we learn more about the heart of the Father and His will for His children. They are not only object lessons but they are festivals intended to be observed by all of those who submit to the headship of the Creator of the Universe, the G-d of Abraham, the G-d of Isaac and the G-d of Jacob. As we read in the Prophets, we will be keeping these festivals in the future when the Messiah rules from Jerusalem, which stands to reason since G-d did say He intended these special holy days to be kept forever and by perpetual regulation. More than worthy of our study, they are well worth keeping even today. A good place to start, and a place that we often find ourselves referring back to, is Leviticus 23. This is the chapter where the festivals of the L-RD are outlined by G-d for those who will come under His headship and follow His ways. I wrote recently about the month preceding the fall festivals, Elul, and in that message listed some resources that are available online. And one resource that is very handy to have is The Holidays of God, the Fall Feasts by the Radio Bible Class Ministries. I am very interested in hearing what my readers are planning for the fall festivals and what stage of participation they are in this season. This blog has been accessed via searches with "Sukkot celebration in churches", "Succah designs, kits and decorations" and "Yom Teruah" being the most common. I am curious if those coming here from those searches are finding what they are looking for. I hope I can be of help to those searching and a source for ideas and resources as others are browsing the web. :) Blessings to you all ~ ** This is a post from my main blog Following The Ancient Paths and I thought I'd double post it here. |
