Sabbath & Biblical Feasts

We are not experts on the Biblical Feasts or the Sabbath, but we are trying to learn as much as we can about these celebrations that God has invited us to attend.

The Feast dates change from year to year so you may need to research those, if you are planning to celebrate!

Below are some links to some of the posts we have made regarding these subjects:

Sabbath

While Sabbath is not a Biblical Feast, it is something that we were commanded to keep, so we are doing our best to make this happen here.

I will try to update these as we make new posts. We are new at this also, so we are not EXPERTS and we may make mistakes along this journey, but we are doing the best we can with what we have right now.

Spring Feasts

Passover/Pesach:

Usually happens near Easter, but it is not the same as Easter! Passover is the day set aside to celebrate the freeing of the Jews from Egyptian rule around 3000 years ago. The first Passover meal happened on the night of the 10th plague, so we usually talk about the story of the Plagues.

Passover was also the time when Jesus was crucified, so we are recognizing the sacrifices that Jesus made for us when HE died on the cross.

Biblical Feasts: Passover

Feast of the Unleavened Bread:

This spans the 7-day period following the Passover. It is done in remembrance of when the Israelites made their hasty departure from Egypt. They left in such a hurry that they didn’t have time to let their bread rise.

Pentecost/Shavout:

This Feast usually happens 50 days after Passover… the name of Pentecost. This Feast foreshadows the coming of the Messiah, and that we can be one part of his harvest when he returns.

Fall Feasts

Feast of Trumpets/Rosh Hashanah:

This is the day that we are reminded that Jesus will be coming back and the angels will blow trumpets to signal his return! The kids love this one as they get to blow the Shofar.

Day of Atonement/Yom Kippur:

This is a solemn Feast day, often accompanied by a 24-hour fast, when we remember the sacrifice Jesus made on the cross to atone for our sins.

Feast of Tabernacles/Sukkot:

We are reminded that God sheltered the Israelites after they left Egypt. We are also reminded that Jesus ‘tabernacled’ or lived among us for a while, and that God will rebuild the Earth, and everyone will be taught the laws to live by.

Think ‘Thanksgiving’ and Christmas rolled into one… so much to be grateful for and so many ways to show our thankfulness for all of God’s blessings on us!
