I have always been taught that the Old Testament is Jesus Christ concealed and that the New Testament is Jesus Christ revealed.
By studying the 7 Feasts/Holy Convocations from the Old Testament, and seeing how the entire Hebrew year literally revolved around these Holy Days, and knowing that today's church only celebrates two of them, Passover and Easter (First Fruits), one would wonder about the other five Feasts/Holy Convocations.
The 7 Feasts/Holy Convocations are actually a beautiful outline for presenting the full Gospel Message.
One could actually refer to the 7 Feasts/Holy Convocations as the Work of Christ, God's Plan of Salvation.
Amazingly we have the full Gospel Message in one Old Testament chapter, the Gospel according to Leviticus 23.
Tucked away in a Book of the Old Testament that very few believers today even read is buried treasure, explore with me and discover several hidden treasures in God's Word.
The 7 Feasts of a Highly Effective God explores in detail the hidden meanings behind these sacred days.
Leviticus 23 contains all 7 Feasts.
Hanukkah, the Feast of Dedication (John 10), came later in Bible history.
We see the 7 Feasts, also known as Holy Convocations, listed in the order of Passover, Unleavened Bread, First Fruits, Weeks, Trumpets, Day of Atonement and Tabernacles.
They are listed in chronological order as they first occurred in the Bible.
Moses experienced the first four upon leaving Egypt.
We will soon discover that the virgin conception of Jesus occurred on Hanukkah, nine months later Jesus was Born on Trumpets, Eight days later He was Circumcised on the Day of Atonement (fulfilling the Circumcision Covenant given to Abraham), He Dwelt/Tabernacled amongst us without sin for 33 1/2 years for Tabernacles, He was then our Passover Lamb, then in the Tomb for Unleavened Bread i.
without sin, He was Resurrected on First Fruits, appeared to many during the 49 Days of the Feast of Weeks, then we have Pentecost, Day 50, Freedom Day, a Jubilee.
