The biblical feasts, or divine appointments, are not merely ancient holidays but are deeply significant events that form a continuous story of redemption and restoration. These feasts, established by God, serve as both memorials and rehearsals for greater spiritual realities.
The weekly Sabbath anchors the biblical calendar, reminding believers of creation and sanctification. The spring feasts—Passover, Unleavened Bread, First Fruits, and Weeks—have been fulfilled through the life, death, and resurrection of Yeshua (Jesus), symbolizing deliverance, sanctification, resurrection, and the outpouring of the Holy Spirit.
The fall feasts—Trumpets, Atonement, and Tabernacles—point to future prophetic events, including the Messiah’s return and the ultimate restoration when God will dwell with humanity forever. Altogether, these appointed times illustrate a unified divine plan, prompting reflection on where we currently stand in this ongoing story.
