Here are seven biblical reasons to celebrate the feasts of YHVH Elohim:<\/strong><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. The biblical feasts are a prophetic shadow-picture of things to come (Col 2:16-17; Heb 10:1). When they were given to ancient Israel they pointed forward to future events that would occur to the nation of Israel. The spring feast days, for example, pointed to Messiah\u2019s first coming while the fall feast days point to his second coming leading into the Messianic Age (Millennium) and into eternity beyond.<\/li>\n
  2. All the\u00a0biblical\u00a0feasts point to Yeshua. The name Yeshua <\/em>means “salvation” and these days all point to the various steps of the path of salvation that believers find themselves on.<\/li>\n
  3. Many of the feasts point back to historical events that occurred in Israel\u2019s history from which we can learn lessons and that are representative of our own spiritual journey (1 Cor 10:1\u20136, 11).<\/li>\n
  4. The people of YHVH are commanded to keep what the Scriptures call the appointed times<\/em>. They are times when he makes an appointment that he will meet with his people (Lev 23:1\u20132, 4). It is at these festivals or commanded assemblies that YHVH teaches his people about his wonderful plan of salvation or redemption of the world through Yeshua the \u00adMessiah.<\/li>\n
  5. The feasts are in the Bible and the whole Bible is the inspired word of Elohim (2 Tim 3:16). Yeshua commands us to live by every word that comes out of the mouth of Elohim (Matt 4:4).<\/li>\n
  6. The feasts set forth the pattern of heavenly things on earth (Heb 8:1\u20132, 5; 9:8\u20139, 23; Exod 25:8\u20139, 40; 26:30; Num 8:4; Ezek 43:1\u20136, 10\u201312).<\/li>\n
  7. We as physical beings need physical means and methods to help us understand spiritual mysteries. YHVH gives us the natural to help us to understand the supernatural (spiritual) (1 Cor 2:9\u201313).<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
