The old testament gives secular history as an illustration of spiritual truths, and the feasts are an example. It tells of God’s planting Christ in the springtime, as we plant our food, of growing in the summer with the law in our hearts as guidance, and reaping the harvest of saved souls with the fall feasts.
The three spring Passover feasts tells of Christ. The blood of the lamb of God on the doorposts is the blood of Christ, the Feast of Unleavened Bread tells that Christ cleans out our sins, and the Feast of First Fruits is Christ as the first fleshly person to be resurrected. In the summer we grow through Pentecost, celebrating the law in our hearts. In the Fall is the harvest of the souls Christ has saved. The Feast of Trumpets announces that Christ returns with a loud noise, the Day of Atonement is to celebrate when Christ judges us to determine our rewards, and the Feast of Tabernacles celebrates the new earth that saved souls will live in.
We say they are Jewish feasts, but the Jews are still looking for the Christ that these feasts celebrate. We are Christians who know Christ has come and is with us, it is our celebration.
