There are 7 major FEASTS of the Bible. God's Chosen People the Jews have celebrated them since Moses was given the instructions from the Lord. 4 of the 7 feasts have been LITERALLY fulfilled. There are still 3 to be fulfilled.
There are 3 spring feasts and 3 fall feasts. The feast in the middle is "Pentecost" and that has been fulfilled with the New Testament Believers. Jesus fulfilled the first 3 with his life, death and resurrection. We can indeed expect the last 3 feasts to be fulfilled with His Glorious Second Coming.
The Feasts are still celebrated today by the Jewish people. The Messianic Jews also celebrate the feasts but they do so with an understanding of the fulfillment and yet have an expectancy that the last 3 feasts will be fulfilled. Some Christians today even celebrate these feasts. I am not saying whether you should indeed celebrate these feasts BUT you do need to know about them.
Col 2:16-17 "Let no man therefore judge you in meat, or in drink, or in respect of an holyday, or of the new moon, or of the sabbath days: Which are a shadow of things to come; but the body is of Christ."
The Annual Holy Days can be divided into two main groups, Spring, and Fall, which are separated by a period of time. Jesus fulfilled the first part of God's feasts. It would seem that we are living in the time between the two Feast periods, and that Jesus will fulfill the second half of the Feasts very soon. Jesus fulfilled all of the Spring Festivals on the exact dates of the Jewish calendar.
Will He return, and fulfill the Fall Festivals on the exact dates of the Jewish calendar?
