The Feasts and Prophecy
The Festivals of the Lord are not just ancient observances—they are a prophetic framework revealing God’s complete plan of redemption for His people. From Passover to Tabernacles, each feast points to a specific work of Messiah and unfolds in its appointed time. These divine appointments unlock the structure of prophecy. Without this understanding, the timeline of end-time events cannot be properly discerned.

The Lord’s Day
Understanding the Prophecy The phrase “the Lord’s Day” is often assumed to refer to Sunday—but Scripture itself never makes that claim. Instead, the Bible identifies a specific day that belongs to the Lord: the Sabbath. In Mark 2, Yeshua makes a defining statement: “The Son of Man is Lord also of the Sabbath.” This is…
The Daily and Weekly Appointed Times
Daily and weekly time with God shapes the rest of our walk with Him. The morning and evening sacrifices remain God’s design for daily fellowship, and Scripture shows these are also the times when many of His most significant interventions occurred: fire on Elijah’s altar, Gabriel’s visit to Daniel, the crucifixion, the outpouring of the Holy Spirit. Yeshua is now our sacrifice, but the worship rhythm remains. The Sabbath carries the same pattern at a weekly scale — real relationships are built in time set apart.
The Daily: The Most Overlooked Appointed Time
Understanding the Prophecy This teaching uncovers a deeply overlooked truth in Scripture: The most important appointed time in God’s calendar is not weekly or yearly — it is twice daily. The morning and evening sacrifice (the “tamiyd” in Hebrew) forms the foundation of a living relationship with God. While many focus on the Sabbath and…
The Lord’s Day
Understanding the Prophecy The phrase “the Lord’s Day” is often assumed to refer to Sunday—but Scripture itself never makes that claim. Instead, the Bible identifies a specific day that belongs to the Lord: the Sabbath. In Mark 2, Yeshua makes a defining statement: “The Son of Man is Lord also of the Sabbath.” This is…
A Call to Remember
Understanding the Prophecy This teaching presents a powerful call to remember—a theme woven throughout Scripture, especially in the context of end-time prophecy. God repeatedly calls His people to: In contrast, end-time deception works by causing people to forget—to drift away from truth, obedience, and the authority of God. Revelation reveals that the final crisis is…
Let No Man Judge You | Colossians 2 in Context
Understanding the Prophecy Colossians 2:16 is often quoted to argue against keeping the Sabbath or biblical festivals—but is that what Paul was actually saying? This teaching carefully examines the full context of Colossians 2 and reveals a very different message. Rather than abolishing God’s appointed times, Paul is addressing a conflict between the traditions of…
Passover, Unleavened Bread, and Firstfruits
The spring feasts are not fulfilled events neatly check off at the cross. Yeshua’s own words at the Last Supper make this clear: He declared He would not eat the Passover again until it is fulfilled in the Kingdom. These studies explore what that forward-pointing fulfillment actually looks like – and why getting it right reshapes everything we think we know about His return. Explore the teachings below.
Fulfillment of the Spring Feasts: Passover, Unleavened Bread, and Firstfruits
Understanding the Prophecy The biblical festivals are not random religious celebrations. They are appointed times established by God that reveal key events in His plan of redemption. Among these festivals, the spring feasts hold special significance because they point directly to both the first and second coming of the Messiah. Passover, the Feast of Unleavened…
Passover 101: What Every Believer Should Know
Understanding the Prophecy Passover is one of the most significant events in the Bible. It commemorates the night when God delivered Israel from slavery in Egypt and began leading His people toward the Promised Land. But the meaning of Passover extends far beyond the Exodus story. Throughout Scripture, Passover becomes a powerful symbol pointing to…
You Will Follow Me: Passover’s Eternal Promise
Understanding the Prophecy During the final Passover meal with His disciples, Yeshua made a statement that carried deep prophetic meaning: “You cannot follow me now, but you will follow later.” These words point beyond the immediate moment of the Last Supper and reveal a profound promise connected with the meaning of Passover itself. The Passover…
Saints Risen with Yeshua: Understanding the Firstfruits Resurrection
In Matthew 27, we are given a brief but powerful statement: “Many bodies of the saints who had fallen asleep were raised… and coming out of the graves after His resurrection…” This raises an important question: What happened to those who were raised with Yeshua? Were they: This teaching explores the possibility that these resurrected…
Pentecost
Pentecost marks the outpouring of God’s Spirit and the empowerment of His people to carry His truth to the world. From the delivery of Torah at Sinai and the outpouring of the Holy Spirit in Acts 2, this feast reveals the internalization of God’s Word written on our hearts.
The Meaning Behind Pentecost: God’s Harvest Festival
Understanding the Prophecy Pentecost—also known as the Feast of Weeks or Shavuot—is one of the most significant appointed times in the biblical calendar. Yet many Christians are unfamiliar with its original meaning and its connection to God’s prophetic plan. In Scripture, Pentecost occurs fifty days after the Feast of Firstfruits and was originally celebrated as…
Festival Typology, Part 2: Passover to Pentecost
Understanding the Prophecy The biblical festivals outlined in Scripture were more than historical observances—they were prophetic patterns pointing to key moments in God’s plan of redemption. In this teaching, we explore the typology of the early festival cycle, beginning with Passover and continuing through Pentecost. These appointed times reveal how God structured the story of…
Timing of Pentecost
Counting Toward the Outpouring Few of the biblical festivals generate more discussion regarding their timing than Pentecost. While many believers recognize Pentecost as the day the Holy Spirit was poured out in Acts 2, fewer understand the biblical instructions that determine when the feast is to be observed. This study carefully examines the command to…
Trumpets, Atonement, and Tabernacles
The fall feasts call God’s people to repentance before judgment. Trumpets sounds the warning, the Day of Atonement finalizes the judgment. They are followed by the Feast of Tabernacles, which points to dwelling with God for eternity.
Fulfillment of Sanctuary Types – The Fall Feasts
Understanding the Prophecy The biblical festivals are not simply ancient religious observances. They are part of a prophetic framework embedded in Scripture that reveals the unfolding plan of redemption. In the sanctuary system and the cycle of appointed times, God established patterns that point both backward to redemption and forward to the final restoration of…
The Feast of Trumpets: Unlocking Its Prophetic Meaning
Understanding the Prophecy The Feast of Trumpets (Yom Teruah) is one of the most misunderstood of God’s appointed times. While many view it as simply a Jewish holiday or associate it loosely with the Second Coming, Scripture reveals something far more precise. Trumpets is a prophetic signal—a divinely appointed alarm announcing that judgment has begun….
Biblical Stories Reflecting the Feast of Trumpets
Understanding the Prophecy The Feast of Trumpets (Yom Teruah) is more than a single-day event—it introduces a prophetic sequence of judgment. In Scripture, it is described as a memorial of blowing of trumpets, a day of shouting, and a holy convocation (Leviticus 23:23–25). This teaching explores how the Feast of Trumpets is not isolated but…
Day of Atonement
Day 1150 in Daniel’s Final Timeline The Day of Atonement represents the most solemn and decisive phase in God’s redemptive plan—the judgment that takes place before the Second Coming. In this teaching, we explore how this final priestly work parallels the cleansing of the sanctuary and reveals a present reality, not a future-only event. Just…
Feast of Tabernacles
The Earth Made New The Feast of Tabernacles represents the final and complete fulfillment of God’s plan of redemption—when God will dwell with His people forever. This is not just symbolic language, but a real, future event described in Revelation, where the New Jerusalem descends and the tabernacle of God is with men. This teaching…
A Special Journey: Unraveling the Eighth Great Day
Understanding the Prophecy The Eighth Great Day represents the true culmination of the plan of salvation—the moment when the kingdom is fully restored to God’s people. While many assume the restoration happens at the Second Coming, Scripture reveals that this final fulfillment comes after the millennium, at the very end of all prophetic events. The…
Calendar Teachings
Understanding God’s calendar is essential to observing His timing. These articles examine key biblical principles—when a day begins, how the new year is established, and how to approach calendar questions—so that time itself is viewed through the lens of Scripture.
Biblical Calendar Principles
How to Assess Various Calendars to Establish Festival Dates The question of God’s calendar is not simply about dates—it is about authority. Scripture reveals that time is not determined by human systems, traditions, or institutions, but by God Himself through creation. From the beginning, God established clear markers for time: the sun, moon, and stars…
The Timing of the Biblical Year: Aviv or Tekufah?
How Does God Define the Start of His Year? One of the most common questions among students of the biblical festivals concerns the timing of the biblical year. When does the year begin, and how should the calendar be calculated? Throughout history, believers have used different methods to determine the start of the year and…
Passover: The Night to Be Much Observed — One Night or Two?
Did the Passover meal, the death angel, and the Exodus occur over two separate nights—or all within one continuous sequence? The events surrounding Passover and the Exodus are among the most powerful in all of Scripture. Yet despite their importance, there remains significant confusion regarding the timing of these events—specifically, whether they occurred over one…
When Does a Biblical Day Begin?
A Foundational Truth About God’s Appointed Calendar Many believers assume that a day begins at sunrise—but Scripture reveals a different pattern. From the very beginning in Genesis, the order is clear: evening comes before morning, establishing the structure of a full day. This is not a minor detail. It directly affects how we understand and…
Calculating Prophetic Timelines: Day for a Year? (Video)
Understanding the Prophecy One of the most debated questions in Bible prophecy is how prophetic timelines should be calculated. When Scripture gives symbolic time periods such as days, months, or years, students of prophecy often ask whether those numbers should be understood literally or symbolically. A major issue in this discussion is the day-for-a-year principle….
Re-examining The “Day-Year Principle” (Book Excerpt)
(Below is chapter one from our book Re-Examining 1844: A Better Understanding, available here.) When interpreting the 2300 evening and morning prophecy of Daniel 8:14, as well as other prophetic timelines in Daniel and Revelation, Adventists use a “day-year principle”. This is the idea that when interpreting time periods in symbolic prophecies, every day in the prophecy…
