Introduction
This week we're continuing the discussion on the Feasts of the LORD, focusing on Pentecost, the Feast of Trumpets, and the Day of Atonement. (See for the first 3 feasts we discussed.)Let’s Have A Feast
"The kingdom of heave may be compared to a king who gave a wedding feast for his son,” Matthew 22:2 ESV
Definition of “Feast”
Feast of Weeks/Pentecost
- Leviticus 23:15-22
- Acts 2
- Takes place 7 Sabbaths after the Feast of First Fruits (Deuteronomy 16:6-10)[3][4]
- Description /Instructions
- Bring 2 loaves, baked with leaven to offer
- Offer 7 lambs, without blemish and one year old
- Offer 1 young bull
- Offer 2 rams
- A grain offering
- A drink offering
- A Sin offering of 1 young goat
- A peace offering of 2 male lambs in their first year
- Treated as a Sabbath; no work was to be done.
- Connection to the past
- Possibly linked to when Moses received the stone tablets from God—Exodus 19:1 confirms that the Israelites reached Sinai in the third month, which is the month Pentecost occurs
- Connection to prophecy
- In Acts 2, the disciples received the Holy Spirit on Pentecost
- At this time God wrote the law in the hearts and minds of His people (Jeremiah 31:33; Hebrews 10:16)
The long summer between the spring and fall feasts may or may not represent the wait for Christ's second coming. [2]
Feast of Trumpets / Rosh Hashanah
- Leviticus 23:23-25
- Occurs on the first day of the seventh month (1 Tishri → September)
- Lasts for 7 days
- Description/Instructions
- Treated as a Sabbath; no work is to be done
- A holy convocation where trumpets are blown is to take place
- And offering to the LORD was to be made
- Connection to the Past
- Nothing explicitly is stated to connect this to the history of Israel
- Some believe it is linked to the Israel's victory at Jericho in which the walls fell when they blew the trumpets (Joshua 6); that would make this a double prophecy
- Connection to Prophecy
- Often tied to the 7 trumpets of Revelation (Revelation 8-11)
Day of Atonement
- Leviticus 23:26-32
- Occurs on the 10th day of the 7th month (10 Tishri → September or October)
- Description/Instructions
- Treated as a Sabbath; no work is to be done
- A holy convocation is to occur
- Repentance is to happen for each person (afflict your soul)
- An offering to the LORD was to be given
- Those not repenting and those working would be punished by God
- Connection to the Past
- Represents coming before God in repentance
- Connection to Prophecy
- In the final day, we will stand before God and plead the blood of Christ (our offering) in repentance
