We must deal thoroughly with our sin.
We've looked at Passover. Now we'll look at the Feast of Unleavened Bread. These two feasts are tied together. Passover is on the 14th of Nisan and this feast is on the 15th and lasts 7 days.

5. "Seeing Jesus In The Day Of Atonement”

6. "Seeing Jesus In The Feast Of Weeks"

The Feast of Weeks points to Pentecost and the giving of the Holy Spirit.
Three separate names were used by the Hebrew Scriptures for the fourth feast in the Jewish religious calendar. 1) "The Feast of Weeks" (Exodus 34222; Deuteronomy 16:10; 2 Chronicles 8:13) - It was given this name because seven weeks were counted from the Feast of Firstfruits until observing this ...read more

Tabernacles points to Jesus as the light of the world, the water of life and the coming King.
The 7th feast of Israel is “The Feast of Tabernacles.” It’s often called “Tabernacles,” because the Jews lived in tabernacles to remind them of God’s provision in the 40 year wilderness wandering, when Israel lived in similar shelters. It’s also known as “The Feast of Ingathering” (Exodus 23:16; ...read more
