Feasts of Israel

"THREE TIMES THOU SHALT KEEP A FEAST UNTO ME IN THE YEAR"- Exodus 23:14

Three times in a year shall all thy males appear before the LORD thy God in the place which he shall choose; in the feast of unleavened bread, and in the feast of weeks, and in the feast of tabernacles: and they shall not appear before the LORD empty: Deut 16:16

Passover, Unleavened Bread, Firstfruits, Weeks, Harvest, Pentecost, Trumpets (Rosh Hashana), DOA (Yom Kippur), Tabernacles, Booths, Ingathering (Succoth).

Scripture says "three", so I say "three", despite the other numbers I hear bandied about. "Three times in a year shall all thy males appear before the LORD thy God in the place which he shall choose; in the Feast of Unleavened Bread, and in the Feast of Weeks, and in the Feast of Tabernacles.." Deut 16:16. The place which God chose was Solomon's Temple. 2Chr7:12.
The Feast of Unleavened Bread was also called "Passover", and the Feast of Weeks was also called "Harvest" or "Pentecost", and the Feast of Tabernacles was also called "Booths" or "Ingathering".

1. Passover began on the 10th Day of the First Month, when they would choose their lamb. Ex12:3.

2. Tabernacles began on the First Day of the Seventh Month, with the Trumpets sounding. Lev 23:24

3. Pentecost (Weeks or Harvest) had no set date, but began when the first crops were "waved".. Lev 23:11 That day was called "Firstfruits" and began a 50 day (7 weeks + one day) count to "that Great
Day of Pentecost" in Acts 2.

But every man in his own order: Christ the firstfruits; afterward they that are Christ's at his coming. 1Cor15:23

Could it be that the high priest Caiaphas declared 'Firstfruits' on the same day Jesus rose from the grave? Was it really fifty days to that great Day of Pentecost in the Temple at Jerusalem? Because "fifty" is also the number of the Jubilee and the number of chapters in Genesis -- compare to the 22 chapters of Revelation to consider whether these BOOKENDS of the Bible are exactly as the Great Ghostwriter intended. 2Pet 1:21.

"And they worshipped him, and returned to Jerusalem with great joy: And were continually in the temple, praising and blessing God". Luke 24:53 KJV

"The Great Ghostwriter" - I love it! But even better perhaps would be "The Holy Ghostwriter!"

I would say "yes" - Caiaphas declared "Firstfruits" the day that Christ rose. That seems to follow from the sequence of events recorded in Scripture. And it coheres perfectly with the whole story and symbolic meaning.

Have you taken a look at my Synopsis of the Book of Revelation (http://biblewheel.com/forum/showthread.php?t=1774) based on the Seven Feasts? You might find it of interest.

http://www.cswnet.com/~duxrow/Revelation.htmGreat! Think we see 'time' alike: same page. My own Rev page has similarities. Horses of Rev6 like Zech6. I have an emphasis on the metaphors that I haven't seen elsewhere.?

I just took a peak at your home page. Thanks for the link to my site. :thumb:

It does look like our views of Scripture have a lot in common. Your list of elements from Genesis found in Revelation is something I found to be quite compelling - like bookends. I talk about how Revelation "sums up" the whole Bible in Chapter 5 (http://www.biblewheel.com/book/Chapters/Chapt05.asp) of the Bible Wheel book (use the search function to find "consummation of all" and it will take you to that section. I also talk about the feasts (http://www.biblewheel.com/book/Chapters/Chapt05.asp#Feasts) in that chapter.

Holy Ghostwriter? True, and sometimes use that, but..

From the hole to the whole, I can't stop thinking of the swiss cheese compared to All the Bible Truth, and how God said "Let us go down and confound their language". Did they?
So now we have poetry and figures of speech as part of our Confounded Language. "A merry heart doeth good", goes with the territory I think. Also "The foolishness of God is wiser than men", 1Cor1:25.
Don't imagine I'm disdaining God's Word (I'm NOT); even though I often think maybe I'd better rebuke those (unholy?) thoughts. Never used to find anything humorous about the Bible, but after someone pointed out about the Pharaoh wanting to spend another night with the frogs, I've spotted other things 'funny'.
