The 7 Feasts and God's Prophetic Calendar π️ π
Leviticus 23:4 - These are the feasts of the LORD, even holy convocations, which ye shall proclaim in their seasons.
Colossians 2:17 - Which are a shadow of things to come; but the body is of Christ.
This chart reveals the seven feasts of the LORD and their prophetic fulfillment in the calendar of God's redemptive work through the Jewish Messiah. The feasts were never referred to as feasts of Israel but were actually "divinely appointed times" (Hebrew, Moaid) with the LORD, and they were not only historical in Israel's history but they are prophetic and speak of the redemptive work through Jesus Christ. Although there were other holidays that were observed by the Israelites(for example: Purim and Hanukkah), only seven were prescribed by the LORD. According to Leviticus 23 they were: Passover, Unleavened Bread, First Fruits, Pentecost, Trumpets, Atonement, and Tabernacles. Notice that in Leviticus 23:4 it says that the feasts would happen "in their seasons." There were only two seasons in ancient Israel (warmer months and rainy months).
The first four feasts took place at the beginning of the warmer months (April), and the last three feasts took place at the beginning of the rainy months (October). The prophetic message that is taught in the New Testament is that the first 4 feasts speak of the death ¹(Feast of Passover),
burial ²(Feast of Unleavened Bread),
and resurrection ³(Feast of First Fruits) of Jesus Christ,
and the birth of the Church 50 days later ⁴(Feast of Pentecost).
Then there was a long interval which is the Church Age. After that the last 3 feasts took place which speak i the end of the church age and the regathering of Israel ⁵(Feast of Trumpets), and then the Time of Jacob's Trouble, also referred to as the Great Tribulation ⁶(Feast of Atonement). The last feast speaks of the Kingdom of the Messiah ⁷(Feast of Tabernacles) which will never pass away.
Leviticus 23 reveals the seven feasts of the LORD and not only do they teach that God is in control of the times and seasons, but according to the New Testament they also present a prophetic picture of the calendar of events from the cross of Jesus Christ to His millennial kingdom which will never pass away.
1 Corinthians 10:11 - Now all these things happened unto them for ensamples: and they are written for our admonition, upon whom the ends of the world are come.
Below is a list of the 7 Feasts in the Old Testament with Prophecy Calendar and Scriptures.

² Feast of Unleavened Bread (Hebrew Matsoth)
Exodus 13:7 ~ Unleavened bread shall be eaten seven days; and there shall no leavened bread be seen with thee, neither shall there be leaven seen with thee in alI thy quarters.
Just as the Hebrews ate bread with no leaven, and also removed all leaven from their dwellings, so is all sin removed from the believer in Jesus... past, present, and future.
God's Prophetic Calendar:
The Burial of Jesus and our Sin
As the ceremony of Baptism implies, we were buried with Jesus and our sins were buried with him. When he rose, we also rose with him.
New Testament Scriptures
Romans 6:4 - Therefore we are buried with him by baptism into death: that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life.
1 Corinthians 5:8 - Therefore let us keep the feast, not with old leaven, neither with the leaven of malice and wickedness; but with the unleavened bread of sincerity and truth.
1 Corinthians 12:27 - Now you are the body of Christ, and members individually.
³ Feast of First Fruits (Hebrew: Yom Havikurim)
Leviticus 23:10, 11 ~ Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, When ye be come into the land which I give unto you, and shall reap the harvest thereof, then ye shall bring a sheaf of the firstfruits of your harvest unto the priest: And he shall wave the sheaf before the LORD, to be accepted for you: on the morrow after the sabbath the priest shall wave it.
The children of Israel were commanded to bring the sheaf of the firstfruits of the barley harvest on the first day of the week (the day of resurrection) and wave it before the LORD. Not one ear but a sheaf, and this first sheaf represented the entire harvest.
God's Prophetic Calendar :
The Resurrection of Jesus
In Old Testament times the promised land was a picture of the kingdom of the Messiah. Jesus was the first to rise from the dead, and after him all that are Christ's. The resurrection of the believer in Jesus is God's promise.
New Testament Scriptures
1 Corinthians 15:20-23- But now is Christ risen from the dead, [and] become the firstfruits of them that slept. For since by man [came] death, by man [came] also the resurrection of the dead. For as in Adam all die,even so in Christ shall all be made alive. But every man in his own order: Christ the firstfruits; afterward they that are Christ's at his coming.
⁴ Feast of Weeks (Pentecost) (Hebrew: Shavuot)
Leviticus 23:15-16 ~ And ye shall count unto you from the morrow after the sabbath, from the day that ye brought the sheaf of the wave offering; seven sabbaths shall be complete: Even unto the morrow after the seventh sabbath shall ye number the fifty days; and ye shall offer a new meat offering unto the LORD.
The children of Israel were to count 50 days after the firstfruits sheaf of barley was waved. Then they were to offer a new wheat offering: 2 loaves of fine flour from the new harvest of wheat, baked with leaven and waved by the priest.
God's Prophetic Calendar :
The Birth of the Church
50 days after Jesus rose from the dead, on the Day of Pentecost, the Church was born. This marked the end of the "Jewish Era" and the beginning of the "Church Age" where both Jews and Gentiles (2 loaves) could confess Jesus as LORD and be saved.
New Testament Scriptures
Acts 2:1-4 ~ And when the day of Pentecost was fully come, they were all with one accord in one place. And suddenly there came a sound from heaven as of a rushing mighty wind, and it filled all the house where they were sitting. And there appeared unto them cloven tongues like as of fire, and it sat upon each of them. And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance.
1 Corinthians 12:12-13 ~ For as the body is one, and has many members, and all the members of the body, being many, are one body; so also is Christ. For in one Spirit we were all baptized into one body, whether Jews or Greeks, whether bond or free, —and we were all given the one Spirit to drink.
