Festivals of the Lord<\/span><\/h1>\n

A Messianic Guide to the Festivals & High Holidays of The Lord<\/a><\/h3>\n

God\u2019s Appointed Times In Leviticus 23, God calls the feasts \u201cmy appointed times\u201d. The feasts are God\u2019s way to remind His people that He is Lord of the calendar, King of creation, Ruler over time, past, present, and future. He established special times to meet with us in a particular way to commemorate events in His dealings with man. When we celebrate the feasts in the way He ordained we reinforce the relationship He established with us and honor His sovereignty over us.The timing of the feasts is important…God is very specific on when we are to celebrate these events. The calendar used to calculate the dates, the Jewish calendar, is based on the lunar cycle. (verses the solar cycle used in the Gregorian, or \u201cmodern\u201d calendar) Psalm 104:19 says \u201cHe made the moon for the seasons; the sun knows the place of its setting.\u201d Since the calendar is based on the moon cycle, the arrival of the new moon is a crucial event. In ancient times three witnesses were needed to confirm when the first sliver of the moon was visible. At that time a fire was lit on the Mount of Olives to\u00a0 signal others watching to light fires on the surrounding hills until the message was spread throughout Israel that a new month had begun. Month and moon are the\u00a0 same word in Hebrew: \u201cchodesh\u201d. Thus a new month is called \u201cRosh Chodesh\u201d, head\u00a0 of the month.<\/p>\n
