Seven Festivals in Three Times

The Feast of Tabernacles and the Water of Life

The Feast of Tabernacles is celebrated on the fifteenth day of the seventh month in the sacred calendar and it is the last of the seven feasts in three times. The Feast of Tabernacles commemorates the Israelites’ construction of the tabernacle during their journey in the desert. It is a feast during the autumn harvest. In the Old Testament, this feast is also called the Feast of Booths and the Feast of Ingathering. God established various regulations in the Old Testament as a shadow of the New Testament; He let the feasts contain profound secrets of what would happen in the New Testament times. Let us understand God’s will contained in the Feast of Tabernacles and find out who grants…

The Feast of Trumpets

Among the seven feasts in three times, the first of the autumn feasts is the Feast of Trumpets, followed by the Day of Atonement and the Feast of Tabernacles. The representative feast of the autumn feasts is the Feast of Tabernacles. At the Feast of Trumpets, the Israelites blew the trumpets; they purified their hearts according to the regulations for the feast, and had time for repentance until the Day of Atonement. Trumpets are musical instruments that add strength and vitality to a melody; they are used for various purposes, such as a bugle call announcing the morning and an alarm signaling war. For the Feast of Trumpets, they were used to announce the upcoming Day of Atonement and to…

The Day of Pentecost

The Day of Pentecost in the New Testament is called the “Feast of Weeks” in the Old Testament. After Jesus’ resurrection and ascension 2,000 years ago, God poured out the power of the Holy Spirit upon His people on the Day of Pentecost, so they could powerfully preach the gospel of the kingdom and testify about Jesus Christ to all nations. Christ proclaimed the mission of world evangelism on Ascension Day, but it was the Day of Pentecost that ignited the fire of world evangelism. The Holy Spirit that was poured out at Pentecost became the driving force for the growth of the gospel in the early Church. The disciples were filled with the Holy Spirit and boldly preached Christ.…

The Feast of Unleavened Bread

The Feast of Unleavened Bread is celebrated the day after the Passover. In the New Testament, it is also known as a feast of passion commemorating the Crucifixion. The Feast of Unleavened Bread is associated with agony and pain—the suffering of Christ in the New Testament as well as the affliction of the Israelites in the Old Testament. As the name implies, it is the feast to eat unleavened bread—bread made without yeast—which represents suffering. In the Old Testament, the ceremony of the Feast of Unleavened Bread was celebrated by eating unleavened bread for seven days; in the New Testament, we participate in Christ’s suffering by fasting. God appointed this feast of suffering as a command for us to keep.…

Resurrection Day

Jesus’ resurrection, which took place 2,000 years ago, is a very important event that is essential for every believer’s life of faith. It is natural for people to think that everything ends in death. However, contrary to their thought, Christ showed that we would enjoy eternal life and happiness in Heaven with God, through His resurrection from the dead. On the Resurrection Day, the day Christ came back to life, we commemorate the power of God who broke the chains of death. As the people of Zion, let us study the origin and meaning of the Resurrection Day and march toward Heaven with hope for the resurrection. The Origin of the Resurrection Day God established the seven feasts in three…

The Meaning of the Day of Atonement

The Sabbath and the Seven Feasts in Three Times hold great significance for the salvation of mankind; they are not simply part of the Old Testament law. God saves the people of Zion who keep the feasts; He calls the people, who made a covenant with Him by sacrifice (worship) at the feasts, His consecrated ones (Isa 33:20–24; Ps 50:1–5). In the last days, God will gather His children who endure hardships in order to keep the feasts. They will be given praise and honor among all the peoples of the earth (Zep 3:14–20). Those who keep the feasts of God, cherishing God’s laws, decrees, and regulations, will receive blessings and glory according to God’s promises in the Bible. Among…
