Acts 2:1-4. Since the giving of the Law, the feast of Pentecost was typical or prophetic in that it looked ahead to the coming of the Holy Spirit. But why were there 2 loaves in the offering? Why were they made with leaven? Why did they include oil? What does it all represent? May our […]

Acts 1:1-8. Does the OT Jewish Feast of Weeks (Shavuot / Pentecost) actually hold insights and secrets for us regarding Jesus, the gospel, the Holy Spirit, the Church and the Great Commission? What is the “Counting of the Omer” and does that have any value for the Christian today? God has much for us to […]

John 10:22-39. During the feast of Hanukkah (meaning dedication), also know as the Festival of Lights, Jesus, who tabernacled with us, revealed that He had been dedicated by the father, like Solomon or Judas Maccabaeus had dedicated the temple. Now we are the temple of God’s spirit and may we live with our lives, body […]

(John 7-8-9). What was the “Water Libation Ceremony”? What was the “the illumination of the Temple”? When we understand these rituals in the feast, we see the potency of Jesus claim to be the source of Living Water and the Light of the World. 

Lev 16:1-30. Could it be that this OT Jewish feast would give profound insights into the finished work of Christ? See how the author of the book of Hebrews opens up the seemingly irrelevant book of Leviticus to reveal Christ to us. Wow. The gospel is amazing! 

Acts 1:1-14. What is the “counting of the Omer”? How is it significant to us as Christians? How are the feasts fulfilled in Christ? What is the “Menorah Psalm” and how does it relate to Pentecost, the Holy Spirit or the Great Commission? Let us count our blessings, waiting, praying for fresh manna and the […]

The New Testament writers open up the secret of the feasts and show is that they lay down a prophetic timeline of the person and work of Christ. Paul clearly states that the feasts were a shadow of things to come and the reality is found in Christ (Col 2:18-19). May our hearts stand in […]

In John’s gospel, Jesus claimed to be the source of “living water” and also the “light of the world”. It’s only when we consider these claims in the context of The Feast of Tabernacles that we realise how astounding they really were. How could he make these claims and what do they really mean?

Leviticus 16. What happened on Yom Kippur? How does this feast speak of Jesus and His atoning work for us? Why does the book of Hebrews call Jesus our High Priest so many times? Oh how enriching it is to consider the OT shadows and typology that looks to the work of Jesus! 

1 Corinthians 15:51. As students of the Bible, we discover that the annual Jewish feasts were prophetic in nature. The spring feasts were fulfilled at his first coming, and the autumn feasts yet to be fulfilled at his return. The Feast of Trumpets will be fulfilled at the resurrection & translation of the saints. Now […]
