Holy Days, Summary

Appointed by God, Fulfilled in Christ

Rooted & Raised

According to Leviticus 23, God established seven appointed feasts (moedim), and these were given in order as prophetic markers—each one fulfilled in Christ, either in His first coming or still to be fulfilled at His second coming.

Here’s a complete list:

🌿 SPRING FEASTS – Fulfilled in Christ’s First Coming

  1. Passover (Pesach) – Christ’s crucifixion “Christ our Passover also has been sacrificed” (1 Cor. 5:7)
    • Fulfilled: Jesus died on Passover as the Lamb of God (John 1:29)
  2. Unleavened Bread – Christ’s burial and sinlessness
    • Fulfilled: Jesus was buried, His body without sin or corruption (Acts 2:27)
  3. Firstfruits – Christ’s resurrection “Christ has been raised… the firstfruits of those who are asleep” (1 Cor. 15:20)
    • Fulfilled: Jesus rose on the day of Firstfruits, the “first of the harvest”
  4. Pentecost (Shavuot / Feast of Weeks) – Giving of the Spirit “You will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you…” (Acts 1:8)
    • Fulfilled: 50 days after Firstfruits, the Spirit was poured out (Acts 2)

🍂 FALL FEASTS – To Be Fulfilled at Christ’s Return

  1. Feast of Trumpets (Yom Teruah) – Return of the King “…at the last trumpet… the dead will be raised” (1 Cor. 15:52; Matt. 24:31)
    • Awaiting Fulfillment: This feast foreshadows the resurrection, rapture, and announcement of the King’s return
  2. Day of Atonement (Yom Kippur) – Final Judgment and National Repentance “They will look on Me whom they have pierced” (Zech. 12:10; Rom. 11:26–27)
    • Awaiting Fulfillment: A picture of Israel’s future repentance and the full revelation of Christ as High Priest and Judge
  3. Feast of Tabernacles (Sukkot) – Millennial Kingdom, God dwelling with man “The tabernacle of God is among men…” (Rev. 21:3)
    • Awaiting Fulfillment: Points to the Messianic Kingdom and God’s permanent dwelling among His people

✨ BONUS: Shemini Atzeret – The Eighth Day of Completion

Not a separate feast but a concluding assembly—a prophetic picture of eternity and the new creation. It follows Tabernacles and looks beyond the millennial reign into the eternal state where God dwells with His people forever (Revelation 21–22).

There are no additional holy days listed in Leviticus 23 beyond these seven feasts + the 8th Day. These encompass the entire redemptive timeline of Christ’s work—from the cross to the crown.
