Biblical Feasts summary
Feasts are more than just great times. They bind communities together around shared concepts and experiences in common. Like a wedding feast celebrates around our common support of the union of these people. Likewise the feasts God instructs his people to observe bind them together too, around concepts core to their identity. They are also core to Christians’ identity too, because these same concepts are fulfilled in Jesus.

Due to our communion services, many of us already know how Passover relates to our life in Christ (the prophesied Messiah).
1) Christ is the spotless Passover lamb whose blood saved us from death.
2) Christ is also the Unleavened Bread, broken, wrapped, and buried to return later.
3) Christ is the First Fruits of the resurrection.
4) Christ’s Spirit is given at Pentecost /Weeks / Second Harvest to bring in the Gentiles as the second Harvest.
5) The Trumpet will sound to announce the end of this age, the coming of Christ.
6) Christ is our Atonement for the Day of Judgement, and is also The Judge.
7) Christ Shelters with us, in the wilderness of this life, as God in the flesh, and by his Spirit now, which is all we’ll need in the Heavenly feast to come.
So although not many Christians observe these feasts, we can celebrate that Israel's core Scriptural feasts actually prophecy the Messiah who grafts us in to His Story. And so these feasts can serve to bind us together.
