The Feasts and Festivals of the Messiah

The feasts and festivals of the Messiah are more than just Jewish holidays that are defunt since the Law of Moses. When Jehovah, who is Jesus Christ, met with Moses at Mt. Sinai, He gave detailed instructions on the building of the tabernacle/temple and its services that included seven holy feast days, or convocations, to be kept by all the children of Israel. The timing, dates, sacrifices and rituals surrounding these feasts is explained in Leviticus 23, where the Lord includes the instruction that the feast days "shall be a statute for ever in all your dwellings throughout your generations" (Lev. 23:21). The Israelites were comanded to remember them forever. We can use the Bible and other resources to teach our families about the feast days and help them to recognize them as a furthur witness of God's great Plan of Salvation.
