Today is the start of the first fall feast of Our Lord God known as Rosh Hashanah or the start of the Jewish New Year. This fall feast day is also referred to as the Feast Of Trumpets. Possibly as a born again Christian you might think these are Jewish Feast Days since our Lord God presented them to His Covenant People in Leviticus Chapter 23. However, in verse 2 our Lord God refers to these feasts as "My Feasts." Christians can also keep these feasts and learn from them.
Rosh Hashanah starts a ten day period known as the "Days Of Awe" which is a time of reflection of our sins. This is a solemn time leading up to the Day Of Atonement but also is a time of hope as people wish each other a Blessed New Year. This can also be a time of repentance for Christians while at the same time thanking their Lord and Savior Jesus Christ who is forgiving all their sins each and every day.
After the ten Days Of Awe is the Day Of Atonement when the High Priest would enter the Holy Of Holies and sprinkle the blood of animals on the Mercy Seat containing the Ark Of The Covenant. He also confessed the sins of Israel over a goat that was then sent into the desert to remove the sins. Thus the sins were atoned for but only once a year.
Someday there will be a great Day Of Atonement for Israel as prophesied in Zechariah 12:10 and 13:1. At that time the entire nation will mourn over the Messiah and accept His atoning death. The Apostle Paul looked forward to that time when he stated, "All Israel will be saved." (Romans 11:26.) This was discussed in detail in our last three messages referencing Jeremiah 31.
The last Fall Feast of our Lord is called The Feast Of The Tabernacles. Jewish people throughout the world build booths in their yards or on their apartment balconies. They construct the roof so they can see the sky and for seven days they either live in these booths or only eat their meals. This process is a way of giving thanks to God for the protection He provided them when he brought them out of Egypt.
Yes, Christians can participate in God's Fall Feasts all the time thanking and praising Him for sending His Son Jesus Christ to earth to become The Sacrificial Lamb for all peoples. Hallelujah!
