[ LEVITICUS 23 ] "
There are seven festivals listed in Leviticus 23 in the following order.
Most of the events in the Old Testament has an equivalent signicance in Jesus life.
1. Passover : It is a family meal that is eaten and the food eaten symbolizes
different aspects of slavery in Egypt and of the escape. It repeats the story
of Gods angel passing over the houses of the Israelites. It represents Jesus
death for us. (1 Cor 5:7 NIV). For Christ, our Passover lamb, has been
sacrificed.
2. Unleavened Bread : Unleavened bread was eaten during these seven days
immediately following Passover (Exodus 12:15-20; 13:6-8; Deuteronomy 16:3-8).
(John 6:35 NIV)
Then Jesus declared, “I am the bread of life. He who
comes to me will never go hungry, and he who believes in me will never be
thirsty.
3. First Fruits : The first sheaf or firstfruits of the harvest is subsequently
cut, and, in a carefully prescribed and meticulous ceremony, is presented to the
Lord. The Lord’s acceptance of the firstfruits is a pledge on His part of a
full harvest to come. This represents Jesus resurrection. “But now is
Christ risen from the dead and become the first fruits of them that slept”
(I Corinthians 15:20). When God accepted the firstfruits, they became the
guarantee that the rest of the crop would indeed be harvested, for Jesus
(Yeshua) himself is the “first fruits” (I Corinthians 15:23).
4. Pentecost : This was a festival of joy and thanksgiving celebrating the
completion of the harvest season. This represents the coming of the Holy Spirit
(Acts 2). Jesus told His disciples
that they would not be left abandoned and
comfortless. He would then send them His Holy Spirit who would come alongside
to help in His absence (John 14:16-17).
5. Trumpets : (Lev 23:23-24 NIV) The LORD said to Moses, “Say to the
Israelites: ‘On the first day of the seventh month you are to have a day of
rest, a sacred assembly commemorated with trumpet blasts. Do no regular work,
but present an offering made to the LORD by fire.’” The Feast of
Trumpets depicts the Coming of Christ. “Watch, therefore; for ye know not
what hour your Lord doth come.” (Matthew 24:42). The outpouring of the
Holy Spirit at Pentecost started the Church Age; and Trumpets, which will
signal Christ’s coming and judge the wicked. “Therefore, let us not
sleep, as do others, but let us watch and be sober-minded.” I
Thessalonians 5:6
6. Day of Atonement : This was a time when the whole nation confessed their
sins and asked God
for forgiveness. They fasted on this day and did not do any
work. This happened on 10th day of seventh month of every year. (Heb 2:17 NIV)
For this reason he had to be made like his brothers in every way, in order that
he might become a merciful and faithful high priest in service to God, and that
he might make atonement for the sins of the people.
7. Tabernacles : This feast is also called the Feast of Ingathering (Exodus
23:16; 34:22), the Feast to the Lord (Leviticus 23:39; Judges 21:9), the Feast
of Booths, or simply “the feast” (Leviticus 23:36; Deuteronomy 16:13;
I Kings 8:2; II Chronicles 5:3, 7:8; Nehemiah 8:14; Isaiah 30:29; Ezekiel
45:23,25). The Feast of Tabernacles tells of the day when the Son of God
himself with dwell (tabernacle) among men, wipe away every tear, and bring in
the “golden age” which men have dreamed of since time began.
