For ADONAI will have compassion on Ya'akov (Jacob)- he will once again choose Isra'el and resettle them in their own land, where foreigners will join to them, attaching themselves to the house of Ya'akov.Isaiah 14:1

To every thing there is a season, and a

(Eccl. 3:1).
How much would you know about the
Pilgrims without the celebration of
Thanksgiving? Think about it. We
celebrate birthday, anniversaries and other
special events in our lives.  God gave us
instructions to learn about His Story
(History) through fun celebrations!
Paul wrote to the Gentile believers in
Colossians 2:16-17 that the holidays are a
shadow of things to come. Each of the
spring holidays is a picture of Christ's first
coming. Jesus was sacrificed for our sins
on Passover, buried on Unleavened Bread,
and arose on Firstfruits. The fall holidays
are a picture of His second coming and the
beginning of the Messianic reign.
Blueprints
The Festivals of God are blueprints for the
plan of God. When you look at a set of
blueprints for a house that is to be built, it
is difficult to visualize what the house will
look like when it is finished. It is hard to
imagine all the details as a whole. But if
you look at the blueprints for a house you
are familiar with, perhaps the house you
live in, then you can relate those plans to
your own experience. You can fully
visualize the whole of its completion, and
the blueprints will help you see where the
foundation is laid, where the pipes and
cables run, and how the structure supports
itself. It is the same with the Holidays of
God. When we look at the spring festivals,
we can look back at the first century and
see how the prophetic elements of those
festivals were fulfilled. We can see how the
plan of God was carried out in perfection
(Lancaster 1995).
Each of the biblical Jewish holidays
teaches us about our wonderful
relationship with God. His whole
redemption story is portrayed for us in
these festivals. Passover pictures salvation
or deliverance from Egypt (flesh or sin).
Unleavened Bread shows us that God
saved us in order that we may be holy and
set apart for Him by putting off the old sin
nature. Firstfruits teaches us the purpose
of salvation: fruitfulness in the Kingdom of
God (John 15:1-5) and putting on the new
man, the nature of God (Eph. 4:24). The
Feast of Weeks instructs us further
concerning the kind of fruit we must bear
spiritual fruit (Gal. 5:22-23) through the
power of the Holy Spirit.
