The Seven Biblical Feasts

In Leviticus 23 we find the most comprehensive record of how the Israelites were commanded by God to observe seven feasts over a period of seven months. The Hebrew for feasts, "moadim" is strictly translated as appointed times. Four feasts were in the spring and the final three were observed in autumn. The feasts have multiple layers of meaning and application. They were related to the agricultural cycle and historical events meant to remind the Hebrews of what the LORD has done for them. As important as these recognitions were, they are nothing compared to what the feasts are ultimately about.
