The holidays or feasts in the Old Testament look backward and commemorate aspects of the Exodus of Israel from bondage in Egypt while at the same time point forward to the coming of the Messiah; the Son of God.
Most Christians recognize the parallels between the Jewish feasts and the first and promised second coming of Jesus Christ. The Spring feasts corresponds to Christ's first coming in the Meridian of time, while the Fall feasts point to events which are to occur as part of Christ's Second Coming.
Spring Feasts
1. Passover (Pesach) = angel of death passed over the firstborn if lambs blood was placed over the doorway = Faith = Christ's crucifixion
2. Unleavened Bread (Hag ha-Matzot) = Israel left with haste from Egypt eating flat bread = Repentance = Christ's burial
3. Firstfruits (Hag ha-Besht) = giving of manna, barley harvest, Baptism = Christ's resurrection.
4. Pentecost/Weeks (Shavuot) = giving of the 10 commandments, wheat harvest, Gift of Holy Ghost = Coming of Holy Ghost.
Fall Feasts
5. Trumpets (Rosh Hashanah, Yom Teruah) = trumpets sounded before the fall of Jericho. Initiatory = 50 year tribulation period preceeding fall of Babylon and Christ's Second Coming.
2001 = 9/11 (earth)
2007 = housing crisis (sea)
2014 = crimea (rivers, wormwood)
2020 = covid-19 (darkness)
2027 = ??? (locusts)
2035 = ??? (euphrates)
2042 = ??? (wrath)
2050 = ???
6. Day of Atonement (Yom Kippur) = Israel punished for worshipping golden calf. Endowment = Moral corruption punished prior to Christ's Second Coming.
7. Tabernacles (Sukkot) = Israel dwelt 40 years in the wilderness. Sealing = Saints will again dwell in tents at Adam-ondi-Ahman before Christ's Second Coming.
