We were created to chose. Without that capability, there can be no sincere relationship.
The “Feast of Tabernacles” that commemorates the forty years in the wilderness of Sinai, and includes all that had happened since the first Passover, along with the spring and fall harvests, is a feast for our understanding of the protection, mercy, and grace that God gives His children, and includes the thankful heart of a Christian’s walk in our present day, so it is well worth our study.
It is a time set aside for remembering, self-denial, rejoicing, understanding, and thanksgiving. It might be coincidental that our Thanksgiving day relates to the fall harvest just as the “Feast of Tabernacles.” Thanksgiving used to be a day set aside to thank God for His sustenance. I am disappointed that today we celebrate the day after as “Black Friday” for the purpose of Christmas shopping, and now we have also added a “black Thursday.” Today it’s a day of self-centeredness, and is called “Turkey Day.” Speaking of turkeys, are they kosher? Could turkeys be a relative of chickens? I don’t want to get into eggs and bunnies, and call it Passover either, so I’ll pass on this ridiculousness after stating that this is no different than the Hebrew Pharisaical traditions that were minus the sincerity of the heart.
The word “feast” actually means “holy day.” In parallel, we now classify special celebrated days as Holidays. Some people want us to say “Happy Holidays” during Christmas. Those that want this term clearly desire Jesus to be separated from Christmas. Instead of relating Christ to Christmas the phrase “Happy Holidays” is much better to them. Some would much rather have reindeer, Santa Claus, and snowmen. It is Ironic because what they are actually saying is “have a happy and memorable Holy Day.” If they only knew, they certainly wouldn’t want that either.
So by not wanting Christ to be remembered, they are actually endorsing something they don’t want. Talk about turning things upside down! That reminds me of Romans 1:28. “And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient.” Anyway, “feast” is a holy day, set aside for God’s children to come together and focus on the reason for the feast. The Hebrew word “feast” also relates to the word “victim” which makes it a solemn time for sacrifice. (His, and ours)
As God’s children, we should not only focus on the sacrifice of Jesus Christ, but also focus on loving God, and keeping His charge by presenting ourselves as a sacrifice to Him as written in Matthew 22:37, Deuteronomy 11:1b, and Romans 12:1. “Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind, and keep his charge, and his statutes, and his judgments, and his commandments, always. I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service.” This frame of mind, heart, and soul is not only reasonable, it is expected.

I take your questions as arbitrary because you answered them yourself. If you are unsure about your answers by having to ask those questions again, you must ask the One who defined them and gave them.
There now, wasn't that was easy?
Here is a really deep secret. Ready? If you don't know, I ain't gonna tell ya.
May God bless you in your quest.

It is a non ending thread because just-me seems determined to be right rather than discuss the Bible. He is shown Bible showing the earthly sanctuary and services came to an end by the death of Jesus and rather than explain those texts he uses texts to conteract those clear texts. So we have a never ending topic. His favourite feast seems to be the feast of tabernacles. Have not seen him explain the day of atonement at all.

This is a good read here: The 'Feasts of the Lord' in the Book of Acts - Good News Magazine | United Church of God
It is important to keep the tenth, the fourteenth, and fifteenth days in mind when studying the feasts. We have addressed the first nine days of both months and we now arrive at the tenth day of the seventh month called “The Day of Atonement.” In relation, the tenth day of the first month is the day God’s children were told to take a lamb into captivity for each family recorded in Exodus 12:3. “Speak ye unto all the congregation of Israel, saying, In the tenth day of this month they shall take to them every man a lamb, according to the house of their fathers, a lamb for an house.” By reading Exodus 12:6-8 we see that they were to “keep it up until the fourteenth day of the same month: and the whole assembly of the congregation of Israel shall kill it in the evening.And they shall take of the blood, and strike it on the two side posts and on the upper door post of the houses, wherein they shall eat it. And they shall eat the flesh in that night, roast with fire, and unleavened bread; and with bitter herbs they shall eat it.” Today, the blood of Jesus Christ is applied on those that walk in the light of this truth as 1 John 1:7 says. “But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin.”
There is proof that Jesus entered Jerusalem on the tenth day. Reading in John 12:1 we see “Then Jesus six days before the passover came to Bethany, where Lazarus was which had been dead, whom he raised from the dead.” And in John 12:12-13 we see Jesus entering into Jerusalem the next day saying; “On the next day much people that were come to the feast, when they heard that Jesus was coming to Jerusalem, Took branches of palm trees, and went forth to meet him, and cried, Hosanna: Blessed is the King of Israel that cometh in the name of the Lord.” Passover is the fifteenth of the month. Six days before the Passover is when Jesus came to Lazarus’ house at Bethany. Including the fourteenth day of the month, the six days mentioned, would start on the ninth. The day Jesus rode into Jerusalem on a colt of an ass would then be the tenth day of the first month, but for now we will investigate the tenth day in Leviticus 23:27-28, and Numbers 29:7. These scriptures say; “Also on the tenth day of this seventh month there shall be a day of atonement: it shall be an holy convocation unto you; and ye shall afflict your souls, and offer an offering made by fire unto the LORD. And ye shall do no work in that same day: for it is a day of atonement, to make an atonement for you before the LORD your God. And ye shall have on the tenth day of this seventh month an holy convocation; and ye shall *afflict your souls: ye shall not do any work therein.” To *afflict is to deny oneself.

Reading in John 12:1 we see “Then Jesus six days before the passover came to Bethany, where Lazarus was which had been dead, whom he raised from the dead.” And in John 12:12-13 we see Jesus entering into Jerusalem the next day saying; “On the next day much people that were come to the feast, when they heard that Jesus was coming to Jerusalem, Took branches of palm trees, and went forth to meet him, and cried, Hosanna: Blessed is the King of Israel that cometh in the name of the Lord.” Passover is the fifteenth of the month. Six days before the Passover is when Jesus came to Lazarus’ house at Bethany. Including the fourteenth day of the month, the six days mentioned, would start on the ninth. The day Jesus rode into Jerusalem on a colt of an ass would then be the tenth day of the first month, but for now we will investigate the tenth day in Leviticus 23:27-28, and Numbers 29:7. These scriptures say; “Also on the tenth day of this seventh month there shall be a day of atonement: it shall be an holy convocation unto you; and ye shall afflict your souls, and offer an offering made by fire unto the LORD. And ye shall do no work in that same day: for it is a day of atonement, to make an atonement for you before the LORD your God. And ye shall have on the tenth day of this seventh month an holy convocation; and ye shall *afflict your souls: ye shall not do any work therein.” To *afflict is to deny oneself.
I have mentioned “convocation” before, during trumpets and the first ten days, but now we also see this descriptive word connected with “atonement.” This convocation can be described as being encountered by another, and in this case, having a meeting with God. Our Father in heaven called this meeting for us to be involved with His holy purpose called “Atonement.” Atonement means to cover, but it is a covering made by God and not man such as Adam and Eve’s covering described in Genesis 3:7 “And the eyes of them both were opened, and they knew that they were naked; and they sewed fig leaves together, and made themselves aprons.” In actuality, the first record of atonement is found in Genesis 3:21when God killed an animal, obviously shedding its blood saying, “Unto Adam also and to his wife did the LORD God make coats of skins, and clothed them.” It is to expiate, or pardon, and repair by means of propitiation. I would go into the full meaning of propitiation but that might involve writing another book, so I will describe the basics of definition. Breaking it down, “pro” means to go forward, and even though “pitiate” is not a word per se, it is relative to “pitiable” meaning “the suffering of one person excited by the distress of another.” Some might think that the day Jesus cleared the temple, that there was nothing but total anger in His heart, but in truth, pity was actually the catalyst for His fervent disgust, exercising compassion toward those who were being robbed by a religious institution. Matthew 21:12-13 says “And Jesus went into the temple of God, and cast out all them that sold and bought in the temple, and overthrew the tables of the moneychangers, and the seats of them that sold doves, And said unto them, It is written, My house shall be called the house of prayer; but ye have made it a den of thieves.” 1 John 2:1b-2 describes One taking pity which is the catalyst of compassion.“And if any man sin, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous: And he is the propitiation for our sins: and not for ours only, but also for the sins of the whole world.”
Knowing the aforesaid as truth instills in us a core belief that gives incentive to “afflict” our souls. Is this self-works? The answer is an emphatic no. It is an attitude toward oneself, striving to see ourselves as God sees us, which is impossible to do without looking into His Word for identification. Therefore, to afflict oneself is not our works but His, for His works instigate self-denial if we believe. In short, we discipline ourselves by holding ourselves accountable for ourmistakes that are revealed by the Word of God. We are to give accountof our true self in prayer with our heavenly Father, and testify of our true state accordingly. If we see our true self we will also see our dire need to be salvaged from a certain death. Try this some morning right after you climb out of bed. Stare at yourself in the mirror for a minute or two before you do anything else, and thank God that He looks at your heart instead of what you are seeing. Then look at your own heart the way God sees it, and don’t forget what you saw after you walk away. Then ask yourself through the day if you saw someone who needs help. If you see yourself as God sees you, then you are looking into the “law of liberty” as James 1:23-25 puts it. “For if any be a hearer of the word, and not a doer, he is like unto a man beholding his natural face in a glass: For he beholdeth himself, and goeth his way, and straightway forgetteth what manner of man he was. But whoso looketh into the perfect law of liberty, and continueth therein, he being not a forgetful hearer, but a doer of the work, this man shall be blessed in his deed.” Then memorize James 4:10, and 1 Peter 5:6-7 that say; “Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and he shall lift you up. Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, that he may exalt you in due time: Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you.”

In Numbers 29:8-11 the special offerings were the same as the first day of the month, offered along with the daily offerings and sacrifices ordained for every day, and month of the year. “But ye shall offer a burnt offering unto the LORD for a sweet savour; one young bullock, one ram, and seven lambs of the first year; they shall be unto you without blemish: And their meat offering shall be of flour mingled with oil, three tenth deals to a bullock, and two tenth deals to one ram, A several tenth deal for one lamb, throughout the seven lambs: One kid of the goats for a sin offering; beside the sin offering of atonement, and the continual burnt offering, and the meat offering of it, and their drink offerings.”
Day of Atonement was, and is, the testimony of Romans 5:10-11 as Paul writes“For if, when we were enemies, we were reconciled to God by the death of his Son, much more, being reconciled, we shall be saved by his life. And not only so, but we also joy in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom we have now received the atonement.” The circumstantial evidence between taking a lamb without blemish is not coincidental with what we Gentiles know as “Palm Sunday” when referencing what is written in Exodus 12:3 whenGod told Moses; “Speak ye unto all the congregation of Israel, saying, In the tenth day of this month they shall take to them every man a lamb, according to the house of their fathers, a lamb for an house.” In parallel to this, I believe Jesus entered Jerusalem on the tenth day of the first month when reading in Matthew 21:8-9 that “a very great multitude spread their garments in the way; others cut down branches from the trees, and strawed them in the way. And the multitudes that went before, and that followed, cried, saying, Hosanna to the Son of David: Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord; Hosanna in the highest.”

Knowing that the feasts, and the ministry of Jesus are not to be separated, giving purpose to fulfillment, let’s see how they all fit day by day. Believing in Christ is knowing that Jesus fulfilled the law. To see the spiritual purpose of these five days we will take a five-day journey with our Savior.
Day ten, which I have addressed, Jesus enters Jerusalem and the people shout for salvation as promised by Zechariah 9:9 saying “Rejoice greatly, O daughter of Zion; shout, O daughter of Jerusalem: behold, thy King cometh unto thee: he is just, and having salvation; lowly, and riding upon an ass, and upon a colt the foal of an ass.”
Day eleven as Jesus and the disciples were returning to Jerusalem we continue by reading Matthew 21:18, along with Mark 11:12 “Now in the morning as he returned into the city, he hungered. And on the morrow, when they were come from Bethany, he was hungry:”
Jesus condemns a tree that doesn’t have fruit, commanding that it will never again bear fruit.
Day twelve begins with Mark 11:20-22 about how Peter remembered the previous day, and how Jesus put a curse on the tree that looked nice, but no fruit. “And in the morning, as they passed by, they saw the fig tree dried up from the roots. And Peter calling to remembrance saith unto him, Master, behold, the fig tree which thou cursedst is withered away.And Jesus answering saith unto them, Have faith in God.” Jesus addresses Scribes, Pharisees, and Sadducees while they ask leading questions, endeavoring to prove their own righteousness. Jesus also declares them as hypocrites, and pronounces judgment on them. Forgiveness is preached, and more parables are given for understanding the spiritual aspects of truth. This all takes place within the records written in Matthew 21:28 through Matthew 25:46
To name just a few parables and prophecies of Jesus during this twelfth day we find:

- In Matthew 21:33-46, and Mark 12:1-12 the parable is given about the owner of the vineyard having hired men that finally killed his own son because of greed.
- In Matthew 22:1-14, and Luke 14:16-24 Jesus tells about the marriage feast being held and the people who were first invited didn’t show up.
- In Matthew 24:3-51, Mark 13:5-13, and Luke 21:8-11 Jesus identifies signs to watch for preceding His second coming.
- Jesus tells about the ten virgins in Matthew 25:1-13 watching for the bridegroom to come and five run out of oil for their lamps.
- In Matthew 25:14-30 Jesus tells of a man who took a trip and the investments made by his servants. One servant hid the resources given to him, and when the man returned from his trip, what that one servant had received in the beginning was taken from him in the end because he didn’t invest it.
- And in Matthew 25:31-46 Jesus declares a separation between the sheep and the goats at the second coming of Christ.[FONT=Arial Unicode MS, sans-serif] [/FONT]
Day thirteen is two days before Passover, (God passed over on the fifteenth Exodus 12) and according to Matthew 26:2 Jesus said “Ye know that after two days is the passover, and the Son of man is betrayed to be crucified.” Scriptures in Mark 14:1, and Luke 22:1 confirm this, as it is written; “After two days was the passover, and of unleavened bread: and the chief priests and the scribes sought how they might take him by craft, and put to death. Now the feast of unleavened bread drew nigh, which is called the Passover.” (Added italicized words taken out) We see in Matthew 26:10-35 that the authorities finally devise a plan to arrest and kill Jesus. A woman with an alabaster box anoints Jesus for burial with very expensive ointment. This is the day that preempts the killing of the Passover lamb, and the last supper is being prepared.
Day fourteen begins when the sun goes down on the thirteenth. Matthew 26:17 says “Now the first (preparation day) of the **unleavened bread the disciples came to Jesus, saying unto him, Where wilt thou that we prepare for thee to eat the passover?” (Again, I took the liberty of taking out the added italicized words for better understanding.) Eating the “passover” is eating the lamb that was prepared on this day just as it is stated in Exodus 12:6. The preparation for Passover begins on the fourteenth day, as was tradition of that day. Jesus prays in Gethsemane, and is finally betrayed by Judas Iscariot, and arrested after He and His disciples cross the Cedron/Kidron into the garden. Jesus is tried and found guilty by the Sanhedrin, is given audience by Herod, and is finally sent to Pilate. John 19:14 could be misunderstood as the sixth hour being around noon. The sixth hour isn’t referring to the time of day, but six hours after the betrayal of Judas Iscariot, and Jesus’ arrest. It reads “And it was the preparation of the passover, and about the sixth hour: and he saith unto the Jews, Behold your King!” So we see that killing and eating the Passover is not the first day of the Feast of **Unleavened Bread, but the preparation thereof. Jesus is beaten, and hung on the cross at nine o’clock in the morning, and dies at three o’clock in the afternoon. Mark 15:25 and Mark 15:33-34 are descriptive; “And it was the third hour, and they crucified him. And when the sixth hour was come, there was darkness over the whole land until the ninth hour. And at the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice, saying, Eloi, Eloi, lama sabachthani? which is, being interpreted, My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?” Behold, Your lamb is without blemish, kept until the fourteenth day of the same month: and the whole assembly of the congregation shall kill it in the evening.

The number of days, being five, represents grace, God’s goodness, and Pentateuch that are the first five books of the Bible. The beginning of these five days is the tenth day of the first and seventh months. The number ten represents testimony, law, and responsibility according to the covenant of God. Atonement begins when Our Lord enters into the presence of the congregation, cleans it up, exposes the unrighteous, and teaches with parables for understanding. He suffers reproach because He is the truth, and He takes to Himself the entity/enmity that separates us from our Father in heaven. His pity for us is a benefit to us, if we respond to the call of the trumpets.Here is a good comparison written in Ezekiel 7:14, and Ezekiel 33:5b “They have blown the trumpet, even to make all ready; but none goeth to the battle: for my wrath is upon all the multitude thereof. But he that taketh warning shall deliver his soul.” So to refresh our memory of the first fourteen days of the month by reading Numbers 29:1-8, we see no change in the offering of one bullock, one ram, and seven lambs, but for good reason the quantities change on the fifteenth day. The quantities are the representation of “hope” for the future by remembering our past, and how God has cared for us to this present day.
At the last supper, being the preparation day for the Feast of Unleavened Bread, we read in Matthew 26:27-28 that Jesus said “Drink ye all of it, for this is my blood of the New Testament, which is shed for many for the remission of sins.” While reading John 13:1 thru John 19:30, we understand that the last supper was the same day that Jesus died.

Keep in mind that the Sabbath days were not instituted until the second month when manna fell from heaven by reading Exodus chapter 16. Sabbath is not mentioned in the KJV Bible before that recorded time even though “rest” or “rested” is mentioned nine times. Is that a coincidence? Possibly.
Now I have known for some time that the resurrection day is substantially profound in the Christian realm of today, but in my ignorance, I was never able to connect it with the slaughter of the Passover Lamb in Exodus until deeper study into the Word of God. After leaving Egypt, Israel spend three days traveling to the Rea Sea. We can fine the places that they encamped in Exodus 13:20 which was the beginning of the second day, Exodus 14:2 (the third day) and then they crossed the Red Sea during the forth day in Exodus 14:24-27. Then three days later (which completes the time period of the Feast of Unleavened Bread) they come to a body of water that isn't fit to drink. Get a load of this written in Exodus 15:22-25a. “So Moses brought Israel from the Red sea, and they went out into the wilderness of Shur; and they went three days in the wilderness, and found no water. And when they came to Marah, they could not drink of the waters of Marah, for they were bitter: therefore the name of it was called Marah. And the people murmured against Moses, saying, What shall we drink? And he cried unto the LORD; and the LORD shewed him a tree, which when he had cast into the waters, the waters were made sweet:” The Word of God says it best in John 4:7, 11-14. “Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God. There cometh a woman of Samaria to draw water: Jesus saith unto her, Give me to drink. The woman saith unto him, Sir, thou hast nothing to draw with, and the well is deep: from whence then hast thou that living water? Art thou greater than our father Jacob, which gave us the well, and drank thereof himself, and his children, and his cattle? Jesus answered and said unto her, Whosoever drinketh of this water shall thirst again: But whosoever drinketh of the water that I shall give him shall never thirst; but the water that I shall give him shall be in him a well of water springing up into everlasting life.”
According to the Biblical Sabbath days, and the women buying spices to anoint the dead body of Jesus, we can surmise that the day Christ died was on Wednesday, which would have been the fourteenth of Abib/Nisan according to Luke 23:54-56. “And that day was the preparation, and the sabbath drew on.” This phrase indicates that night had already fallen, and was the beginning of the “high day” being the first day of “The Feast of Unleavened Bread” called “Passover.” We also see that the women “which came with him from Galilee, followed after, and beheld the sepulchre, and how his body was laid.” The day falling between the first day of “Unleavened Bread,” called a Sabbath in Luke 23:54, and the weekly Sabbath would be the day the women prepared spices for anointing the body of Jesus. “And they returned, and prepared spices and ointments; and rested the sabbath day according to the commandment.” Take note that they rested after preparing the spices. Then, in Mark 16:1-4 we see on the eighteenth day of the month “when the sabbath was past, Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James, and Salome, had bought sweet spices, that they might come and anoint him. And very early in the morning the first day of the week, they came unto the sepulchre at the rising of the sun. And they said among themselves, Who shall roll us away the stone from the door of the sepulchre? And when they looked, they saw that the stone was rolled away: for it was very great.”

We can fine the places that they encamped in Exodus 13:20 which was the beginning of the second day, Exodus 14:2 (the third day) and then they crossed the Red Sea during the forth day in Exodus 14:24-27. Then three days later (which completes the time period of the Feast of Unleavened Bread) they come to a body of water that isn't fit to drink. Get a load of this written in Exodus 15:22-25a. “So Moses brought Israel from the Red sea, and they went out into the wilderness of Shur; and they went three days in the wilderness, and found no water. And when they came to Marah, they could not drink of the waters of Marah, for they were bitter: therefore the name of it was called Marah. And the people murmured against Moses, saying, What shall we drink? And he cried unto the LORD; and the LORD shewed him a tree, which when he had cast into the waters, the waters were made sweet:” The Word of God says it best in John 4:7, 11-14. “Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God. There cometh a woman of Samaria to draw water: Jesus saith unto her, Give me to drink. The woman saith unto him, Sir, thou hast nothing to draw with, and the well is deep: from whence then hast thou that living water? Art thou greater than our father Jacob, which gave us the well, and drank thereof himself, and his children, and his cattle? Jesus answered and said unto her, Whosoever drinketh of this water shall thirst again: But whosoever drinketh of the water that I shall give him shall never thirst; but the water that I shall give him shall be in him a well of water springing up into everlasting life.”
According to the Biblical Sabbath days, and the women buying spices to anoint the dead body of Jesus, we can surmise that the day Christ died was on Wednesday, which would have been the fourteenth of Abib/Nisan according to Luke 23:54-56. “And that day was the preparation, and the sabbath drew on.” This phrase indicates that night had already fallen, and was the beginning of the “high day” being the first day of “The Feast of Unleavened Bread” called “Passover.” We also see that the women “which came with him from Galilee, followed after, and beheld the sepulchre, and how his body was laid.” The day falling between the first day of “Unleavened Bread,” called a Sabbath in Luke 23:54, and the weekly Sabbath would be the day the women prepared spices for anointing the body of Jesus. “And they returned, and prepared spices and ointments; and rested the sabbath day according to the commandment.” Take note that they rested after preparing the spices. Then, in Mark 16:1-4 we see on the eighteenth day of the month “when the sabbath was past, Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James, and Salome, had bought sweet spices, that they might come and anoint him. And very early in the morning the first day of the week, they came unto the sepulchre at the rising of the sun. And they said among themselves, Who shall roll us away the stone from the door of the sepulchre? And when they looked, they saw that the stone was rolled away: for it was very great.”
Good read. It appears that all three are mentioned in that article.
2 Chronicles 8:13 Even after a certain rate every day, offering according to the commandment of Moses, on the sabbaths, and on the new moons, and on the solemn feasts, three times in the year, even in the feast of unleavened bread, and in the feast of weeks, and in the feast of tabernacles.

You are way off base on your teaching on the day of atonement. They follow an order of events and the day of atonement did not come before passover. I did read it in your book, but a book does not respond back like a discussion forum. I suggest you study them again, first explain the feasts how they were.
1. Passover
2. Unleavened bread
3. Firstfruits
4. Pentecost
5. Trumpets
6. Day of Atonement
7. Feast of Tabernacles
Best to explain them first before explaining what they mean. Explain the type first before explaining anti-type.
