FEASTS OF THE LORD

“These are the feasts of the LORD, even holy convocations, which ye shall proclaim in their seasons.”

Leviticus 23:4

The Feasts of the LORD are God’s appointed times given in Scripture. They remember His mighty acts of redemption and point us toward Yeshua (Jesus), our Messiah.

YOM TERUAH — FEAST OF TRUMPETS

September 12–13, 2026

Begins at sundown September 11

Leviticus 23:23–25

The LORD commanded His people to observe this appointed time with a memorial of blowing of trumpets and a holy gathering.

Throughout Scripture, the trumpet is associated with gathering, warning, the presence of God, and the coming of the King.

Messianic Hope:
The trumpet points us forward to the return of Yeshua, when the trumpet will sound and His people will be gathered to Him.

Matthew 24:30–31 • 1 Corinthians 15:51–52 • 1 Thessalonians 4:16–17

YOM KIPPUR — DAY OF ATONEMENT

September 21, 2026

Begins at sundown September 20

Leviticus 23:26–32

The Day of Atonement was a solemn appointed time when Israel was called to humble themselves before the LORD. The high priest entered the Most Holy Place with blood to make atonement for the people.

Messianic Fulfillment & Prophetic Hope:
Yeshua is our Great High Priest, who made atonement through His own blood. Prophetically, this solemn day also points us toward the return of Messiah—a time of repentance, cleansing, and judgment when the King will judge the nations.

Zechariah 12:10 • Zechariah 13:1 • Matthew 25:31–46 • Hebrews 9:11–12

SUKKOT — FEAST OF TABERNACLES

September 26–October 2, 2026

Begins at sundown September 25

Leviticus 23:33–43

The Feast of Tabernacles remembers how God caused Israel to dwell in temporary shelters after bringing them out of Egypt. It celebrates the presence, provision, and faithfulness of God among His people.

Messianic Hope:
Yeshua came and “dwelt among us,” and Scripture points us toward the day when God will dwell forever with His redeemed people.

John 1:14 • John 7:37–39 • Revelation 21:3

SHEMINI ATZERET — THE EIGHTH DAY

October 3, 2026

Begins at sundown October 2

Leviticus 23:36, 39

Following the seven days of Tabernacles, the LORD commanded His people to gather for another special sacred assembly on the eighth day.

Messianic Hope:
The eighth day beautifully directs our attention toward new beginnings and the promised day when God makes all things new and dwells forever with His people.

Revelation 21:1–5

THE FALL FEASTS — THE RETURN OF THE KING

TRUMPETS — The trumpet sounds and the King returns.

DAY OF ATONEMENT — A picture of repentance, cleansing, and judgment at the coming of Messiah.

TABERNACLES — The King dwells and reigns with His people.

Together, the Fall Feasts give us a beautiful prophetic picture of the return of Yeshua, judgment and restoration, and the coming reign of the King.

SPRING FEASTS — 2027

PASSOVER — PESACH

April 22, 2027

Begins at sundown April 21

Leviticus 23:5 • Exodus 12

Passover remembers Israel’s deliverance from bondage in Egypt. A spotless lamb was slain, its blood was applied, and judgment passed over those who were under the blood.

Messianic Fulfillment:
Yeshua is our Passover Lamb. Through His shed blood we have redemption and deliverance from the bondage and penalty of sin.

John 1:29 • 1 Corinthians 5:7 • 1 Peter 1:18–19

FEAST OF UNLEAVENED BREAD

April 22–28, 2027

Begins at sundown April 21

Leviticus 23:6–8

For seven days Israel was commanded to eat unleavened bread. Leaven is also used in Scripture as a picture of sin and corruption.

Messianic Fulfillment:
Yeshua was completely without sin. Because our Passover Lamb has been sacrificed for us, we are called to put away the old leaven and walk in sincerity and truth.

1 Corinthians 5:7–8 • Hebrews 4:15

FIRSTFRUITS

Spring 2027

During the Feast of Unleavened Bread

Leviticus 23:9–14

Israel brought the firstfruits of the harvest before the LORD, acknowledging that the harvest belonged to Him and trusting Him for the greater harvest still to come.

Messianic Fulfillment:
Yeshua rose from the dead and became the Firstfruits of those who have fallen asleep. His resurrection is the promise of the resurrection to come for all who belong to Him.

1 Corinthians 15:20–23

SHAVUOT — FEAST OF WEEKS / PENTECOST

Spring 2027

Fifty days counted from Firstfruits

Leviticus 23:15–21

The LORD commanded Israel to count seven complete weeks and then fifty days from Firstfruits to the Feast of Weeks, known in the New Testament as Pentecost.

Messianic Fulfillment:
In Acts 2, the disciples were gathered together on Pentecost when the Holy Spirit was poured out upon them. They were empowered to proclaim the Good News of Yeshua, and about three thousand souls were added that day.

Acts 2:1–4 • Acts 2:37–41

THE FEASTS POINT US TO YESHUA

From redemption to resurrection, from the outpouring of the Spirit to the coming of the King, the Feasts of the LORD continually point us toward Yeshua the Messiah.

“For even Christ our passover is sacrificed for us.”
1 Corinthians 5:7
