Welcome to our Christianity Oasis End Times Bible study program. This is our extremely exciting and very popular ... The Feasts of Israel Bible study. We have also included an absolutely awesome Feasts of Israel Chart which we will take an in depth look into as to see how the events within the Feasts of Israel chart affects Christians today. This thought provoking and prophetic message within the Feasts of Israel Bible study will truly enLIGHTen your Christian walk path. Let's look into this together, shall we?
You are going to absolutely adore this prophetic Feasts of Israel Bible study journey. These are some of the most awesome prophesies revealed in the Bible. The feasts and celebrations of Israel are the Holy Days. The Israelites were told,
by God through Moses, to honor the Feasts of Israel each year. You will learn from our Feasts of Israel Bible study and in particular the awe inspiring that the Feasts of Israel were actually prophecy which are called... Shadows of things to come
|
Colossians 2:16-17
Let no man therefore judge you in
meat, or in drink, or in respect of an holyday, or of the new moon, or
of the Sabbath days: Which are a shadow of things to come; but the body
is of Christ. |
In other words ... God created these days of celebration as signs of major
Spiritual events that He knew would occur on these feast and celebration Holy Days in
the future. You will find out after you have completed the Feasts of Israel Bible study that the Jewish
feasts and celebrations, which have been celebrated by the Israelites from the
time of the Exodus from Egypt, were created by God as shadows of things to come, although many Spiritual
events have already occurred on these Holy days such as the Baptism, Death and Resurrection of our Lord, Jesus, the
introduction of our Comforter, the Holy Spirit at Pentecost. These very important holy days and Feasts of Israel also represent future events such as the
End Times.

To better understand the Feasts of Israel Bible study details, you must become more familiar with the Jewish calendar and the fact that there are two "New Years" like the American New Year, but within a 360 day period.

The Jewish Calendar is a bit tricky and peculiar so it is best to be careful when using it. The Jewish calendar has two distinct
starting points ... Kinda like having two New Years. They are on the first and
seventh month. Keeping this in mind, let us proceed.
To get you familiar with Feast Shadows, let's start off with the Feast Shadow known as ...
The Sabbath.
|
WORK SIX DAYS, REST ON THE SEVENTH
As we delve deeper in to the Feasts of Israel Bible study, we find that the Bible says that God worked six days ... Genesis,
Chapter 1, and on the seventh day, He rested, Genesis
2:2. God also made this law apply to His people. They were to
work six days and rest on the seventh, Exodus
20:9-10. And
six years thou shalt sow thy land, and shall GATHER in the fruits
thereof, Exodus
23:10 ...
If His people had a servant or slave, they were to work six years
and be set free the seventh year. God's
people were also to sow in the land and gather fruits for six years
but not on the seventh. Even Jesus, when He was put on the Cross, hung
there six hours, and died at the beginning of the seventh hour, Mark
15:25
and Mark 15:34-37. |
We see a
pattern created by God. There are six time periods of work and one time period
of rest.
DAY
OF REST
The Bible says that after the End
Times, there is a one thousand year period of time, known as the
"Millennium" which Satan is imprisoned and there is a time of peace for mankind.
|
Revelation
20:3-4
And cast him into the bottomless
pit, and shut him up, and set a seal upon him, that he should deceive
the nations no more, till the thousand years should be fulfilled: and
after that he must be loosed a little season. And I saw thrones, and
they sat upon them, and judgment was given unto them: and I saw the
souls of them that were beheaded for the witness of Jesus, and for the
word of God, and which had not worshipped the beast, neither his
image, neither had received his mark upon their foreheads, or in their
hands; and they lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years. |
|
ONE
THOUSAND YEARS = ONE DAY TO GOD
In 2
Peter 3:8 it says that Heaven and Earth are reserved for
fire and judgment, but that
one day to God is one thousand years to
mankind. Again, in Psalms
90:4 it says that a thousand years in God's sight are as
but a day ... |
Now, let us do
a little simple math ...
If God says that ... Mankind shall work six days and rest on
the seventh, And one thousand years to man is but one day to God, And there is a
one thousand year time period known as the Millennium, Then mankind must
"work" for six days or six thousand years and rest for one
thousand years.
So, this Holy Day called Sabbath is a Shadow of the event known as the Millennium.
Below
is a Feasts of Israel Chart foundation table that will show you how we’ll be studying the other feast shadows,
to make them easier to understand and reference between.

2:2-3
And on the seventh day God ended His work which He had
made; and He rested on the seventh day from all His work which He had
made. And God blessed the seventh day, and sanctified it: because that
in it He had rested from all His work which God created and made.
Exodus
20:8-10
(The
Fourth Commandment)
Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy. Six days shalt thou labour,
and do all thy work: But the seventh day is the Sabbath of the Lord
thy God.

Now
that you get the idea of what a Holy Day SHADOW is from the Feasts of Israel Bible study voyage ... Buckle up because you are
gonna learn just how cool God is by the way He uses prophecy to prepare us for certain future events. There
is a feast and celebration in Israel known as PASSOVER.
|
Leviticus
23:5
In the fourteenth day of
the first month at even is the LORD's Passover. |
|
Exodus
12:3-6
Speak ye unto all the congregation of Israel, saying, In the
tenth day of this month
they shall take to them every man
a lamb,
according to the house of their fathers, a lamb for an house:
And if the household be too little for the lamb, let him and his
neighbour next unto his house take it according to the number of
the souls; every man according to his eating shall make your
count for the lamb. Your
lamb shall be without blemish,
a male of the first year: ye shall take it out from the sheep,
or from the goats: And ye shall
keep it up until the
fourteenth day of the
same month: and the whole
assembly of the congregation of Israel shall kill it in the
evening. |
Let's take a Feasts of Israel Bible study field trip ... You have probably heard the story of how this celebration came about, but do not realize it. It is the story of the great exodus from Egypt
(Book
of Exodus). After God had plagued
the Egyptians for not letting His people go, Moses told the Jewish people that
the Angel of death was coming to kill all the first born of Egypt and in order
for the Israelites to protect their first born children from this Angel of
death, they needed to place lamb's blood on their homes for the Angel of death
to PASS OVER them. It was called ...
PASSOVER
In
this celebration, they were to bring in an unblemished lamb on the
tenth day of the first month of the Jewish calendar and keep this
lamb for four days. Then on the fourteenth day of the first
month the Israelites would kill their lamb and
place the Blood of the Lamb on their homes to save themselves. They were told to do this every year and was called Passover.
This celebration was a shadow of an event to come ... Jesus' Death
Jesus, known as the Lamb without sin, came into Jerusalem on the
tenth day of the first month and stayed for four days.
He was slain (Like the lamb was) on the fourteenth day of the
first month just as the Jewish people were celebrating Passover.
His
blood, like the blood on those doors, can now SAVE YOU.
It is because of God's Love and Grace ...
There
is a feast and celebration in Israel known as FIRST
FRUITS which was three days after Passover where the
Jewish people were to offer an he lamb without blemish as a sacrifice to their
Lord.
|
Leviticus
23:10-14
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. And ye shall offer that day when
ye wave the sheaf an he lamb without blemish of the first year for a
burnt offering unto the LORD. And the meat offering thereof shall be
two tenth deals of fine flour mingled with oil, an offering made by
fire unto the LORD for a sweet savour: and the drink offering thereof
shall be of wine, the fourth part of an hin. And ye shall eat neither
bread, nor parched corn, nor green ears, until the selfsame day that
ye have brought an offering unto your God: it shall be a statute for
ever throughout your generations in all your dwellings. |
You will now learn from the Feasts of Israel Bible study that this celebration was a major shadow of an event to come on the Feasts of Israel Chart ...
JESUS' RESURRECTION
Three
days after Jesus, the
He Lamb without sin (blemish) was killed, He
was Resurrected on Sunday morning as our spiritual sacrifice.
God used Jesus
as that He Lamb because there were not enough sheep in all the world to
atone for their sins.
It does not stop there ... Did you know that there
is a celebration known as Pentecost which was exactly
fifty days after the FIRST
FRUITS celebration.
|
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 fifty days; and ye
shall offer a new meat offering unto the LORD. |
It was
when there was an offering of
fire made unto the Lord.
This
event was a shadow of an event to come ...
Jesus
stayed forty days after He Resurrected and then was taken up to Heaven. It was
ten days after that when the Holy Spirit would introduce Himself, which would
make it fifty days from the day Jesus was
resurrected. On This day about
one hundred twenty believers in Jesus encountered the Holy Spirit which gave
them gifts such as the ability to speak in tongues and they saw tongues of
fire
come upon them.
|
Acts
2:2-4
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. |
It is
also written that John the Baptist told his followers that they were being
baptized with water but would one day be baptized with
fire, referring to
the Holy Spirit.

Resurrection
Three days after Jesus (the
He
Lamb without sin) was killed, He was resurrected on Sunday
morning. God
sacrificed Jesus as that He Lamb because there
were not enough sheep in all the world to atone for peoples’ sins.
|
The Feasts of Israel Bible study reveals that even
Jesus' baptism was foretold by a shadowed event ... John the Baptist told Jesus at the Baptism of Jesus that it was Jesus that should be baptizing John. Jesus told John that they needed to
fulfill all
righteousness.
|
Matthew
3:13-15
Then cometh Jesus from Galilee to
Jordan unto John, to be baptized of him. But John forbad Him, saying,
I have need to be baptized of thee, and comest thou to me? And Jesus
answering said unto him, Suffer it to be so now: for thus it becometh
us to fulfil all righteousness. Then he suffered Him. |
Here is another Feasts of Israel Bible study morsel to munch on ... Most do not understand what Jesus meant when He said that He and John were to "fulfill all righteousness". He was referring to the Spiritual fulfilling of
a Holy Day known as the Day of Atonement ...
|
Leviticus
16:21-31
And Aaron shall lay both his hands upon
the head of the live goat, and confess over him all the iniquities of
the children of Israel, and all their transgressions in all their
sins, putting them upon the head of the goat, and shall send him away
by the hand of a fit man into the wilderness: And the goat shall bear
upon him all their iniquities unto a land not inhabited: and he shall
let go the goat in the wilderness. And Aaron shall come into the
tabernacle of the congregation, and shall put off the linen garments,
which he put on when he went into the holy place, and shall leave them
there: And he shall wash his flesh with water in the holy place, and
put on his garments, and come forth, and offer his burnt offering, and
the burnt offering of the people, and make an atonement for himself,
and for the people. And the fat of the sin offering shall he burn upon
the altar. And he that let go the goat for the scapegoat shall wash
his clothes, and bathe his flesh in water, and afterward come into the
camp. And the bullock for the sin offering, and the goat for the sin
offering, whose blood was brought in to make atonement in the holy
place, shall one carry forth without the camp; and they shall burn in
the fire their skins, and their flesh, and their dung. And he that
burneth them shall wash his clothes, and bathe his flesh in water, and
afterward he shall come into the camp. And this shall be a statute for
ever unto you: that in the seventh month, on the tenth day of the
month, ye shall afflict your souls, and do no work at all, whether it
be one of your own country, or a stranger that sojourneth among you:
For on that day shall the priest make an atonement for you, to cleanse
you, that ye may be clean from all your sins before the LORD. It shall
be a Sabbath of rest unto you, and ye shall afflict your souls, by a
statute for ever.
|
On the
tenth day of the seventh month, the Levite priest of Israel at the time was to confess the sins of the people and put these sins onto an he goat and send the he goat into the wilderness. This he goat would then have all the sins of the people on him.
In the future, John was the Baptist was a Levite priest and Jesus did take the sins of the people upon Himself. After the Baptism of Jesus, He (Like the he goat) went into the wilderness for forty days and was tempted by the devil.
|
Matthew
4:1-11
Then was Jesus led up of the Spirit
into the wilderness to be tempted of the devil. And when He had fasted
forty days and forty nights, He was afterward an hungred. And when the
tempter came to Him, he said, If thou be the Son of God, command that
these stones be made bread. But He answered and said, It is written,
Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth
out of the mouth of God. Then the devil taketh Him up into the holy
city, and setteth Him on a pinnacle of the temple, And saith unto Him,
If thou be the Son of God, cast thyself down: for it is written, He
shall give His Angels charge concerning thee: and in their hands they
shall bear thee up, lest at any time thou dash thy foot against a
stone. Jesus said unto him, It is written again, Thou shalt not tempt
the Lord thy God. Again, the devil taketh Him up into an exceeding
high mountain, and sheweth Him all the kingdoms of the world, and the
glory of them; And saith unto Him, All these things will I give thee,
if thou wilt fall down and worship me. Then saith Jesus unto him, Get
thee hence, Satan: for it is written, Thou shalt worship the Lord thy
God, and Him only shalt thou serve. Then the devil leaveth Him, and,
behold, Angels came and ministered unto Him. |
Now, be sure to focus on this very interesting part of the Feasts of Israel Bible study ... This
also means that Jesus' Ministry began when He was baptized on the tenth
day of the seventh month and lasted until Passover which is the
fourteenth day of the first month. There are 360 days in a Jewish year.
Jesus was 30 when he began His ministry ...
Luke
3:22-23 ...
His ministry lasted three and a half years. The Gospel of John describes three
different Passover feasts over the course of Jesus' ministry. This implies that
Jesus preached for a period of three years ... John
2:13, John
6:4 and John
11:55 ...
It
began at the Day of Atonement and ended on Passover which is six months apart.
So Jesus’ ministry was three and a half years long.

Jesus' Baptism
John the Baptist told Jesus at
His baptism, that it was Jesus that should be baptizing John. Jesus
told John that they needed to fulfill all righteousness. He was
referring to
Leviticus
16:21-31. John was a Levite priest and Jesus (the
He goat) did take the
sins of the people upon Himself.
After Jesus was baptized, He went into the
wilderness for forty
days and was tempted by the devil.
Matthew

Jesus' ministry lasted three and a half years.
GOOD FRIDAY
This brings us to another
interesting fact.
The Jewish calendar day does
not start at midnight but rather sunset. This begins the 12 hours of night hours
and at sunrise it begins the 12 hours of day hours.
|
John 11:9
Jesus answered,
Are there not twelve hours in the day? |
Jesus died at the
ninth hour of the day.
|
Mark 15:34-37
And at the
ninth hour Jesus cried with
a loud voice, saying, Eloi, Eloi, lama sabachthani? which is, being
interpreted, My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me? And some of them that
stood by, when they heard it, said, Behold, he calleth Elias. And one ran and
filled a sponge full of vinegar, and put it on a reed, and gave him to drink,
saying, Let alone; let us see whether Elias will come to take him down. And
Jesus cried with a loud voice, and gave up the
ghost. |
Making it about 3:00 pm ... A few hours before sunset,
when our precious Lord died for our sins. We also know that Jesus was in the earth for 3 days and 3 nights.
|
Matthew 12:40
For as Jonas (Jonah) was three days
and three
nights in the whale's belly; so shall the Son of man (Jesus) be
three days
and three nights in the
heart of the earth. |
And
resurrected on Sunday morning as the first day of the Jewish week is Sunday
just as the American calendar begins on Sunday.
