"These are the designated times of the LORD, the holy convocations you are to proclaim at their designated times." (Leviticus 23:4).
Thousands of years ago, as He moved to bring about His wonderful plan for the redemption of mankind, the LORD God of Israel sanctified particular days and periods - setting them apart as holy to Himself.
These "times" are the Shabbat - Sabbath (Lev 23:3), Pesach - Passover (Lev 23:5), Chag HaMatsot - Unleavened Bread (Lev. 23:6), Bikurim - First Fruits (Lev 23:9-11), Shavuot - Weeks (Lev. 23:15-16), Rosh HaShanah - Trumpets (Lev 23:23-25), Yom Kippur - Day of Atonement (Lev 23:27-28), and Sukkot - Tabernacles (Lev. 23:34-36).
In this feature we will take a closer look at what these feasts are, and what they signify.
