Passover Pentecost Tabernacles
YAHUSHA'S FEASTS
Yahuah's Feasts are times of great celebration and thanksgiving, originally given to Israel at Mt Sinai (for them to observe for all generations) and so they should be viewed through the eyes of a shadow/fulfilment revelation. Yahuah used the agricultural practices and behaviours of the era (shadows) to reveal His Redemptive Plan for mankind - A plan that He Himself would fulfil.
SHADOWS
All the Feasts were given in shadow-form (empty, dim, representations) of what Yahusha would come to earth and achieve for His people as their redeemer and deliverer. Yes! Yahusha died for those who want Him and can see that everything in the Feasts point to Him. So today (with His Spirit inside us) He wants us to see past the shadow-form (life-less traditions) to Who the fulfilment of our redemption is - and celebrate Him among us. Yahusha and His presence among us, is the ultimate fulfilment of all Scripture prophecy and the true celebration of the Feasts.
It's so important that we understand the function of the Feasts and how we should celebrate them. Yahusha took His disciples to the upper room and showed them how to celebrate the feast of Passover with food, wine, and plenty of love for each other. So to make the Feasts simple and easy-to-understand, there are three main times to celebrate each year, called (in english): PASSOVER, PENTECOST and TABERNACLES.
PASSOVER
The time of Passover has 2 two major celebrations: The Passover and Firstfruits. The very first PASSOVER (shadow) saw Israel delivered from Egyptian slavery by the blood of the lambs on their doorposts and around 1500 years later Yahusha delivered His people when He was tortured and killed on a torture stake as the last ever sacrifice for sin, on PASSOVER (fulfilment). Not eating Leaven (yeast) was involved for a week too but that symbolised the unclean sinful behaviour Yahusha wants purged from His people.
The Festival of FIRSTFRUITS (shadow) saw the High Priest waving the very best of Israel's harvest and when Yahusha rose from the dead after 3 days and 3 nights in the tomb, He went back into the Heavenly dimension and appeared as the Lamb freshly slain, waving His own broken body and shed blood to cleanse both dimensions on FIRSTFRUITS (fulfilment).
PENTECOST
50 days after their Passover deliverance from Egypt, Yahuah gave His circumcised nation a Marriage Covenant at Sinai, writing His Instructions on stone tablets at the first PENTECOST (shadow). Many rejected His Words and bowed down to a golden calf and over 3000 were destroyed as a result. 1500 years later, after Yahusha died, ascended and returned to His throne, He poured out His Spirit on His followers, circumcising and writing His Instructions on their hearts, connecting them to His reign with a Portal within them, making them all living dwellings of His Spirit, on the Feast of PENTECOST (fulfilment) ... over 3000 were delivered!
TABERNACLES
Yahusha fulfilled the first two feasts and the last is still to come, when He returns to destroy this earth and harvest His Bride. Tabernacles has three special events: Trumpets, Atonement and Tabernacles.
TRUMPETS were to be blown by Israel at the end of the harvest to shadow the global siren and panic that will occur at the second coming of Yahusha.
ATONEMENT was a solemn day of great judgement and atonement for Israel as the High Priest went before the Ark in the Most Set-Apart Place to annually cleanse the whole nation, shadowing our great High Priest Yahusha's arrival to judge and completely cleanse this world of it's wickedness.
TABERNACLES was a time when Israel lived in tents to remember their wilderness wanderings and also to realise that their earthly bodies are but temporary dwellings. The ultimate fulfilment of this feast is Yahusha, who (at this time) came to earth, put on flesh and `Tabernacled' among us, revealing that we are now the temples of His Spirit and that He was going to prepare a place for us, a magnificent city and tabernacle for the Marriage Supper of the Lamb.
