The First Feast PASSOVER
Passover itself was just the one day, the 14th,
when they killed and ate the lamb, but it was
followed immediately by a Holy Day of Convocation
when they began the seven days of eating bread
with the leaven removed. So the Feast of
Unleavened Bread became another name for
PASSOVERfor this first feast of the year for the
Israelis.

• Based on the story in Ex12 about the tenth plague
  and saving the Hebrews from the death angel who
  was destroying all the first-born.
• They were to take a lamb on the 10th day of the
  1st month, and on the 14th day they were to kill
  it and eat it.
• The blood of the lamb was to be smeared on the
  doorway of each household.

The Second Feast PentecostOtherwise known as
Feast of Weeks, or Harvest

• This was the longest of the 3 feasts, and began
  when the first of the crops appeared (no set
  calendar date). When the High Priest waved
  those firstfruits it began the 7-week countdown
  to the Day of Pentecost.

Pente or Penta is the Greek word meaning
five, and referred to the fifty day period
leading up to the one day of Holy Convocation
when the law abiding Jews were required to
present themselves at the temple in Jerusalem.
Begin to number the 7 weeks from such time as
you begin to put the sickle to the corn - Deut
169 Three times in a year shall all thy males
appear in the place which he shall choose Deut

The 3rd Feast TABERNACLESalso known as Feast
of Ingathering, or Booths

• This final feast of the year was in the 7th
  month, and had three specific events.
• 7/1 Trumpets (Rosh Hashana)
• 7/10 Day of Atonement (Yom Kippur)
• 7/15 Seven days of dwelling in booths, or
  tabernacles. (Succoth)

For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven
with a shout, with the voice of the archangel and
the trumpet of God, and the dead in Christ shall
rise first 1Thes416

   us 1Cor57

So, shall we keep the feasts??

• Certainly, but we dont have to go to Jerusalem
  anymore We keep them by (1) realizing that the
  blood of Jesus is on our hands, and by (2) eating
  the Bread, and by (3) building our spiritual
  house on the Rock of Ageson the Rock that is
  Christ. 1Cor104

Therefore let us keep the Feast, not with old
leaven 1Cor58
