Feasts of Israel
Yom Kippur
The Feasts of Israel or as they are referred to in the King James Bible, The Feasts of the L-RD were instituted by the G-d of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob(Israel), the G-d of ancient Israel to be Holy Convocations(Mik-rah in Hebrew) celebrated during certain times during the year. In fact the word Mik-rah actually means a called out assembly, meeting, or a rehearsal. So these feasts were to be a time of rehearsal for things to come. Ancient Israel was to keep these rehearsals every year. These rehearsals were special times when the people of G-d could spend time with the Almighty. A time of sweet fellowship with the Creator of the Heavens and the Earth, a time to get to know our Redeemer, to learn from Him, to get to know Him and what He expects from His People. Also these Feasts were to instruct G-d's people of the season's of the Messiah, the Spring Feasts showing us the coming of Messiah and His redemptive work for us. The Fall Feasts instructing us when He will return and set up His literal Kingdom here on earth. One other note of the Feasts, in Hebrew the word feasts is referred to as (Mo-ed, or Mo-ed-im in plural), which means an appointment or a fixed time of the year. Another Hebrew word for feasts is the word Chag, ( which literally means "to move in a circle")so we are to move in a circle at appointed times to celebrate and worship in a sacred procession).
Most people understand these Feasts to be observed by Jewish people only, but in Leviticus 23, it is referred to as "Feasts of the L-RD". So if you call on the name of the G-d of Israel, the G-d of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob(Israel), these feasts are for you. Jew and Gentile alike.
In many Christian circles it is believed that no one can know when Y'shua (Jesus) is returning. This is because there is not proper Hebraic/Jewish understanding of G-d's Word. When you look at G-d's Word from a Hebraic or Jewish perspective you do not know the exact day or hour of His return, but we do know the exact season of His return. This is so very important for Y'shua warned His Talmudim (disciples) to be awake and watch! Mat 25:13 Watch therefore, for ye know neither the day nor the hour wherein the Son of man cometh. We do not know the day nor the hour but we do know the season of our deliverance. G-d has revealed this to us in His Feasts.
Time does not allow a thorough study on this, I would have to write a book. But we have two great books that we offer in our store, G-d's Appointed Times by Barney Kasdan, and The Fall Feasts of Israel by Mitch and Zhava Glaser. These books are very informative, I recommend both.
Dear friends the moment of time that we are living in right now are the LAST DAYS that the Bible speaks of before the return of the Messiah to deliver His people and judge this world. This world will not last forever, the Creator of the universe has only given this world six(6) thousand years, then He will judge this rebellious world and setup His Kingdom here in a recreated Heavens and Earth. Where He will rule from His throne in Jerusalem. The time is short my friends, now is the time to restore your relationship with G-d. Repent (return and forsake the evil ways of this world, the King of this world, Satan) Receive Y'shua in faith(Emunah), trust in the shed blood of the Messiah for the forgiveness of your sins, and follow Him, follow His Torah(instructions) which lead to life, eternal life. Y'shua redeemed us from this world, He bought us with a price, that price was His righteous earthly life He willingly laid down for you and me. He proclaimed His rightful position of Eternal King and High Priest by rising from the grave after 3 days! He now sits at the right hand of the Glorious Eternal One as our Mediator. Today if you hear His voice , Heb 3:7 Therefore, just as the Ruach ha-Chodesh(Holy Spirit) says, "Today if you hear His voice, do not harden your hearts as in the rebellion, on the day of testing in the wilderness. There your fathers put Me to the test, though they saw My works for forty years. Therefore I was provoked by this generation, and I said, ‘They always go astray in their heart, and they have not known My ways.’
As I swore in my wrath, ‘They shall not enter My rest.’" Take care, brothers and sisters, that none of you has an evil heart of unbelief that falls away from the living G-d. Blessings!
