[FONT="]Lev 23:1[/FONT][FONT="] And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, Lev 23:2 Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, Concerning the feasts of the LORD, which ye shall proclaim to be holy convocations (Strong’s H4744), even these are my feasts.[/FONT]

[FONT="]The Spring Festivals: Passover, First Fruits, and Pentecost are now "Memorial" Festivals, remembering those events which have already been fulfilled.[/FONT]
[FONT="] [/FONT]
[FONT="]Y’shua is our Passover (1 Cor. 5:7) …fulfilled 100% perfectly on the exact date of Yah’s Spring Festival! He died as our perfect sacrificial lamb on Passover, presented Himself to Yah as our First Fruits and He sent us the Holy Spirit on Pentecost. This is GRACE. (GRACE = God’s Riches at Christ’s Expense). And all foretold/prophesied and fulfilled! This is why I get so excited about studying Yah’s 7 Appointments and more specifically the Fall Feasts…a time that all “rehearsing” will become a “reality”, even same as the “Jews” had observed the Passover at the time of Christ’s death. It was all planned by Yah, because if those “religious Jews hadn’t been observing the Feast” the scriptures would not have been fulfilled PERFECTLY! [/FONT]
[FONT="] [/FONT]
[FONT="]So the question I ask you today is, “Does God, who has set aside His Moedim (Appointed Times) to meet with us, desire for “Christians” to know and observe them?” Or is there a dispensation? One thing for the “Jews” and another for the “Christians”? Or are we all to be Messianic Israelites?[/FONT]
[FONT="] [/FONT]
[FONT="]I believe His Appointments have been given for all our benefit, not for His benefit and all who observe them will be greatly blessed. We may not know the day or hour, but the Season can be known and that is one benefit of studying and observing His 7 Appointments. (Note: Observing Easter is just a bad practice compared to the observance of Yah’s true Holy Days. I hate man made churchy traditions and love Yah and all His Ways.)[/FONT]
[FONT="] [/FONT]
[FONT="]All of the Fall Festivals are a type of "Rehearsal" of events yet to transpire; the return of [/FONT]Y'shua HaMashiach [FONT="](Jesus the Messiah), the reconciling of God and mankind, the establishment of the Kingdom of God -- the one thousand year millennial reign of Y’shua, as King of kings over all the earth, and the future coming of the New Heavens and Earth.[/FONT]
[FONT="]Taking special note of the word “rehearsal” we see the Strong’s translation in the following:[/FONT]
[FONT="] [/FONT]
[FONT="]H4744 - [/FONT][FONT="]miqrâ' - mik-raw' From H7121; something called out, that is, a public meeting (the act, the persons, or the palce); also a rehearsal: - assembly, calling, convocation, reading.[/FONT]
[FONT="] [/FONT]
[FONT="]Four of the Holy Convocations (miqra) occur in the late summer and early fall (ie The Fall Festivals) 1 - Yom Teruah - Day of Blowing or Feast of Trumpets (more commonly called Rosh HaShannah); 2 - Yom Kippur - Day of Atonement; 3 - First day of Sukkot - Feast of Tabernacles; and 4 - Shemini Atzeret - The Eighth Day following Sukkot.[/FONT]
[FONT="]I am presently studying these appointments/convocations for myself. I have no fellowship at this time with others who observe them. Even though I can’t quote “scriptures” rapidly in discussion of them, I am looking forward to an understanding and Yah’s richness and depth and His 100% fulfillment of them. I look forward to those posters who can share in what each mean and represent. [/FONT]
