  God's Prophetic Blueprint for the Ages The ancient Feasts of the Lord, also known as the Moedim—God’s divinely appointed times—are far more than a collection of historic Jewish holidays. They are a precise, prophetic blueprint revealing the chronological and redemptive plan of God for all mankind, from the first coming of the Messiah to His glorious return. In Leviticus 23, the Creator Himself outlines seven of these feasts, instructing His people to observe them as "My appointed times," indicating a personal, divine schedule for history. A study of the first four "spring feasts"—Passover, Unleavened Bread, Firstfruits, and Pentecost—reveals a pattern of perfect and literal fulfillment in the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ. The Messiah was crucified on Passover, a day that memorialized the lamb's blood that saved Israel, thus becoming the ultimate sacrificial Lamb of God. His burial and time in the tomb perfectly aligned with the Feast of Un...
