Wherever We Land

Ever wondered about the secret calendar hidden within the pages of the King James Bible? It’s a calendar filled with fascinating feasts and holy convocations, each one pointing to a deeper spiritual truth. If I could, I’d shout it from the rooftops! Let’s take a playful peek into this ancient timepiece.

A Celestial Countdown: The Feasts of the Lord

Imagine a cosmic countdown, a divine schedule set in motion by the Creator Himself. The Bible outlines seven special feasts, each with its own unique significance:

• Passover: Remember the night the Angel of Death “passed over” Israelite homes marked with lamb’s blood? It’s a powerful picture of Jesus, the sacrificial Lamb who takes away our sins.
• Unleavened Bread: This feast reminds us to rid our lives of sin, just as the Israelites removed leaven from their homes during the Exodus.
• Feast of Firstfruits: A celebration of the first fruits of the harvest, symbolizing the resurrection of Christ, the firstfruits of those who sleep.
• Feast of Weeks (Pentecost): Fifty days after Passover, this feast commemorates the Holy Spirit’s descent upon the disciples, empowering them to share the good news.
• Feast of Trumpets: A day of sacred assembly, a time to listen for the trumpet call of God. It’s a reminder that Jesus is coming again!
• Day of Atonement: A solemn day of fasting and repentance, foreshadowing the ultimate sacrifice of Jesus Christ.
• Feast of Tabernacles: This joyous feast celebrates God’s provision and protection. It’s a picture of the future millennial reign of Christ, when God will dwell with His people.
