Each Feast is a predetermined appointed rehearsal to reveal both a big picture timeline as well as the progressive plan of salvation illustrated within. For example: Passover foretold the Gospel in the death, burial and resurrection of the Lord: the Feast of Passover – death, the Feast of Unleavened Bread – burial, and the Feast of First Fruits – resurrection. The Feast of Pentecost illustrates the betrothal of believers, both in the Old Covenant and the New Covenant. These first four Feasts illustrate the Messiah’s first coming!)

The final Feast, the Feast of Tabernacles, which also has three parts like Passover, illustrate His Second Coming! The Feast of Trumpets is the great end-time call to global repentance, the Day of Atonement, Yom Kippur, is the great and horrible Day of The Lord, and the Feast of Tabernacles, Sukkot, illustrates the final Ingathering of the all the nations to celebrate the great Marriage Supper of the Lamb.

The entirety of God’s plan is prescribed, foretold and revealed in the Seven Feasts of the Lord – His wedding plans! 

So what do you think? Is it relevant for us as His Bride to understand our Bridegroom’s wedding plans – the wedding that we are going to be in? As the Host of His Feasts, God invites both Jew and Gentile alike to join Him in His revelation and fulfillment of these Feasts!

So let’s begin to build a basic understanding of a Jewish wedding and their correspondence to the Lord’s Feasts.
