- Israel's Festivals & Feasts:
- - Sabbath: A Day of Rest (a weekly event)
- - Passover: Remembering God’s Deliverance (Somewhat like our 4th of July celebration)
- - Feast of Unleavened Bread: Remembering God’s Deliverance
- - Firstfruits: Giving thanks to God for the Barley Harvest (the 'firstfruit' was the first part of that harvest, offered as a sacrifice to God)
- - - Fruit: This refers to the part of a plant you can eat (not just apples, oranges, etc..., but the seed/head of the grain)
- - - In this feast, the "first fruit" of the barley harvest was offered to God as a sacrifice
- - - This had two means for them:
- - - - 1) It was a way of giving God thanks for what He provided, giving the first & best back to Him
- - - - 2) It was a way of expressing your faith and trust in God; just as He gave you these first fruits, you trust that He will give you more to come--therefore you can sacrifice these to Him.
- - - In the New Testament Jesus is called the first fruits of the resurrection of the dead. This is because, just as the first fruit of the barley harvest proved/showed that more barley was to come, Jesus' resurrection showed/proved that we too would be resurrected--there is more to come! An awesome future hope.
- - Feast of Weeks: Remembering when God gave of Law; Giving thanks to God for the Wheat Harvest
- - Feast of Trumpets: Their Civil New Year! (Like our December 31 to January 1 celebration) The Shofar (a trumpet made of a ram's horn) was blown all throughout the land for this! In modern Hebrew this is called "Rosh Hashanah"
- - Day of Atonement: We know of this from our last unit, Israel’s Sin were 'atoned for.' In modern Hebrew this is called "Yom Kippur"
- - Feast of Tabernacles: A 1-week feast where they lived in tents/tabernacles and remembered how God took care of them during their 40 years of wandering in the wilderness
