How the Biblical Festivals Point to Christ

Leviticus 23 lists the Creator’s appointed times—Sabbath, Passover, Unleavened Bread, Firstfruits, Weeks (Pentecost), Trumpets, Day of Atonement, and Tabernacles. These festivals are God’s “appointed times” and sacred assemblies, not merely “Jewish holidays.” This Parashah Point explains the significance of each feast and shows how they reveal God’s plan of redemption and point to Messiah. Believers are encouraged to understand and honor these appointed times as part of God’s instruction for His people.

This teaching explores whether believers outside Jerusalem can faithfully keep Unleavened Bread, Shavuot, and Sukkot today. It considers Torah accommodations for unavoidable circumstances and shows how believers can honor YHWH's appointed festivals even when literal pilgrimage is impossible.

This Mo’edim teaching covers Passover and Unleavened Bread—its origins in the Exodus, its fulfillment in Yeshua’s death and burial, and its ongoing significance for believers.

Part of the Creator’s Calendar series, this teaching explains how to determine the date of the Feast of First Fruits. It walks through the counting of weeks from the Sabbath during Unleavened Bread and clarifies common misunderstandings.
