    There are seven appointed festivals

    commanded by Yahweh our God and are known

    as The Feasts of Yahweh, a better and more

    accurate name for these set times than "Feasts

    of the Jews" or "Feasts of Israel" because

    Yahweh Himself says of these Feasts, "These are

    My Feasts" (Leviticus 23:2).

    These seven Feasts can also be

    grouped by the seasons in which theyoccur, as shown in Deuteronomy

    16:16

  • 7/27/2019 The Feasts of Yahweh

    Deuteronomy 16:16 reads,

    "Three times in a year shall all thy males appear

    before the LORD thy God in the place which heshall choose; in the feast of unleavened bread,

    and in the feast of weeks, and in the feast of

    tabernacles: and they shall not appear beforethe LORD empty:"

    1. Spring - Chag Ha'Matzah- The Feast of Unleavened Bread

    2. Summer - Shavuot- The Feast of Weeks

    3. Fall - Sukkot- The Feast of Tabernacles

    These are the three Feasts where all the

    males of the children of Israel are to

    appear before Yahweh at the Temple inJerusalem. Three times in a year they

    would be at the Temple as commanded in

    Deuteronomy 16:16.

    The grouping of the Feasts by season is

    useful for study because each season has

    its own harvest and relates to the type of

    offering presented to Yahweh for a

    particular Feast.

  • 7/27/2019 The Feasts of Yahweh

    11/39AngeeSee.com

    1. Spring- Barley harvest, Firstfruits of Barley Sheaves

    2. Summer

    - Wheat harvest, Two leavened loaves for a

    wave offering

    3. Fall- Grape harvest, Fruit of the vine and wine

    In general, the most popular way to group the

    Feasts would be into two groups, The Spring

    Feasts and The Fall Feasts, according to the First

    and Second Coming of Yeshua (Jesus) our

    Messiah.

    The Spring Feasts

    14/39AngeeSee.com

    The main text for studying the

    Feasts of Yahweh is Leviticus

    Chapter 23.

    "Feasts in Hebrew is the word "mo'ed" (H4150),

    which means an appointment, a fixed time, and

    a festival. It is a stated time to meet, like when

    a couple sets their wedding date and agree to

    be there on that chosen date and time.

  • 7/27/2019 The Feasts of Yahweh

    16/39AngeeSee.com

    The first time we see this word "mo'ed" is in

    Genesis 1:14 where God creates the sun, moon

    and stars and says they are to be for "mo'ed"

    (signals) to us. Signs (oth) and signals (mo'ed) to

    His people.

  • 7/27/2019 The Feasts of Yahweh

    17/39AngeeSee.com

    "Signs" and "signals" is a direct reference back

    to the Feasts in Leviticus 23. The word "mo'ed"

    is consistently used throughout the Tanakh (theOld Testament) to refer to the Feasts of

    Yahweh. We can follow the trail by doing a

    word study on "mo'ed".

    "Proclaim" is the Hebrew word

    "qara", which means to call out to

    those who are bidden to attend

    the Feast. Similar to the idea of

    sending out a wedding invitation.

    In Matthew 22:2-5, we see the Kingdom of

    Heaven compared to a King preparing a

    wedding dinner for His Son. As this is a parable

    about "The Kingdom of Heaven" which is

    "God's Kingdom", we know that God is showing

    us how He is the Father in this parable, and He

    is the one preparing for the wedding of His Son.

    We can read more about the Wedding of

    Messiah to His Bride in the Book of Revelation,

    but to understand The Marriage Supper of the

    Lamb, we need to first understand the Feasts of

    Yahweh.

  • 7/27/2019 The Feasts of Yahweh

    21/39AngeeSee.com

    That is the reason Yahweh

    commanded for His Feasts to be kept

    for all generations. So that we will

    understand both Yeshua's First

    Coming AND His Second Coming.

    The Feasts are dress rehearsals for the

    prophetic events that are going to

    happen in the future.

    And just as the Spring Feasts were

    fulfilled in order at the First Coming of

    Messiah, we can be sure that the Fall

    Feasts will be fulfilled in order at the

    Second Coming of Messiah.

    The four festivals that make up the Spring

    Feasts include:

    1. Pesach - Passover2. Chag Ha'Matzah - Feast of Unleavened Bread

    3. Chag Ha'Bikurrim - Feast of Firstfruits

    4. Shavuot - Pentecost

    We need to keep in mind that the

    Spring Feasts are when the barley andwheat harvest is ripe and presented

    to Yahweh at His Feasts.

    The Fall Feasts

  • 7/27/2019 The Feasts of Yahweh

    In the fall/autumn season, grapes

    would be ripe for harvest in the land

    of Israel.

    The Fall Feasts are types and shadows of

    Messiah's Second Coming. That is why we

    see verses in the yet-to-be-fulfilled

    passages of Revelation speaking about

    grapes and the winepress of His wrath.

    For example, in Revelation 14:18, we read:

    "And another angel came out from the altar,

    which had power over fire; and cried out to him

    that had the sharp sickle, saying, Thrust in thy

    sharp sickle, and gather the clusters of the vine

    of the earth; for her grapes are fully ripe."

    The Fall Feasts which consist of the Feast

    of Trumpets (Yom Teruah), the Day of

    Atonement (Yom Kippur), and the Feast of

    Tabernacles (Sukkot), are next in line to be

    fulfilled in their order. It is crucial for those

    of us watching for His Return to

    understand these Feasts.

    These annual dress rehearsals contain

    a lot of instruction for us as believersin Messiah, and aid us in preparing for

    upcoming events.

  • 7/27/2019 The Feasts of Yahweh

    I hope and pray that we will take heed

    to these instructions contained in the

    Feasts of Yahweh so that we will befound faithful and watching when our

    Master returns.

    Once we understand the annual cycle

    of the Feasts, and their significance in

    the harvests in Israel, we will see forourselves their fulfillment in Messiah

    Yeshua (Jesus) at His two comings.
