This is Part Two of our Biblical Feasts study. To enjoy this awesome
and enlightening Christian Holy Days journey from the beginning, please click on the link

Mark 16:2
And very early in the morning the first day of the week, they
came unto the sepulchre at the rising of the sun.
The stone was found rolled away and the tomb empty on Sunday morning.
Do the math on these facts and this reveals that Jesus was killed on
Thursday, not "Good Friday."
So ... Where did the term "Good Friday" come from? Many believe that
because the Jewish people asked that Jesus' crucified body be taken
down from the cross because it would be "Sabbath" at sunset. (Sabbath
is from Friday sunset to Saturday sunset.)
John 19:31
The Jews therefore, because it was the preparation, that the bodies
should not remain upon the cross on the sabbath day, (for that
sabbath day was an high day,) besought Pilate that their legs
might be broken, and that they might be taken away.
So the next day was a Sabbath day (a day of rest from work).
Christian Holy Days Point of Interest ... Did you notice that it said that this particular Sabbath
was an "high" Sabbath day, meaning it was a special Sabbath.
The Sabbath being spoken of is a special Sabbath that occurred the
day after Passover.
Leviticus 23:6-7
6 And on the fifteenth day of the same month is the feast
of unleavened bread unto the Lord: seven days ye must eat unleavened
bread.
7 In the first day ye shall have an holy convocation: ye
shall do no servile work therein.
The first day (the 15th day of the month) was the first day of the
Feast of Unleavened Bread and was a special Sabbath and at sunset it
would have been this special Sabbath ... Not the weekly Sabbath.
The math on proving this Truth is simple ... Matthew reveals that
Jesus was found missing the day after Sabbath.
Matthew 28:1
In the end of the Sabbath, as it began to dawn toward the
first day of the week, came Mary Magdalene and the other Mary to see
the sepulcher.
Here is a Biblical Feasts in the Bible trivia question for you ...
How can it be then that they asked Jesus to be taken down from the
Cross on the day before Sabbath and His body was found missing the
day after Sabbath when we know Jesus told us He would be in
the earth 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.
Christian Holy Days Head Scratcher ... If Jesus died on Friday and was found missing on Sunday morning ...
How can one ever make that add up to 3 days and 3 nights?
Friday Night
Saturday Night
Sunday Night
The problem is that Jesus was found missing Sunday morning. As
I said, simple math revealing that past Hebrew Biblical Feasts in the
Bible were merely shadows of Christian Holy Days to come. But, let's
hurry back to our Biblical Feasts in the Bible hunt for facts ...
Jesus died on the 14th day of the first month of the Jewish calendar
just as every other Passover lamb being sacrificed to keep His people
from death was.
The truth obtained by all of the research done creating this Biblical
Feasts in the Bible Mystery becoming the awe inspiring Christian Holy
Days and Christian Feasts continues to prove that God is truly real
and so are these prophecies. Let's continue our trek for truth
into Christian Holy Days and Christian Feasts chart evidence:
Here is a little Biblical Feasts in the Bible chart to make doing the

God is absolutely awesome, is He not?
Is it just a coincidence that just as Jesus ministered for 3½
years before His death and resurrection, that "Anti"christ's
reign of terror also lasts 3½ years? Satan is trying to
mirror image God's plan.
This brings us to the Biblical Feasts in the Bible concerning Jewish
celebrations that are Spiritual shadows of the End Times.
As you recall, there are two sets of celebrations in the Jewish one
year period. They are in the first month and the seventh month. We
have explored the first month and found awesome shadows of Jesus'
first visit ... We will now look into the seventh month
celebrations which you will find foretells of the return of Jesus
and brings on ... The End Times.
There is a celebration known as the Feast of Trumpets ... on
the first day of the seventh month where there is a Sabbath (seven
days) of blowing of trumpets.
Leviticus 23:24-25
24 Speak unto the children of Israel, saying, In the
seventh month, in the first day of the month, shall ye have a
sabbath, a memorial of blowing of trumpets, an holy convocation.
25 Ye shall do no servile work therein: but ye shall offer
an offering made by fire unto the LORD.
Note: More Christian Holy Days adventure advice for you ... Choose to pay close attention to this next celebration shared in our Biblical Feasts in the Bible Teaching ... This celebration will be a shadow of an event to come. In Revelation, there is a time period known as the Trumpets where Angels blow Seven Trumpets and disasters start to occur.
There is also a celebration known as the Day of Atonement. On the
tenth day of the seventh month the Jewish people would afflict their
souls and offer an offering made by fire to make atonement
before the Lord. Whoever's soul was not afflicted was to be cut off
from the people.
Leviticus 23:27-32
27 Also on the tenth day of this seventh month there shall
be a day of atonement: it shall be an holy convocation unto
you; and ye shall afflict your souls, and offer an offering made by
fire unto the Lord.
28 And ye shall do no work in that same day: for it is a
day of atonement, to make an atonement for you before the Lord your
God.
29 For whatsoever soul it be that shall not be afflicted
in that same day, he shall be cut off from among his people.
30 And whatsoever soul it be that doeth any work in that
same day, the same soul will I destroy from among his people.
31 Ye shall do no manner of work: it shall be a statute
for ever throughout your generations in all your dwellings.
32 It shall be unto you a sabbath of rest, and ye shall
afflict your souls: in the ninth day of the month at even, from even
unto even, shall ye celebrate your sabbath.
This Biblical Feasts in the Bible research of a Holy Day past will be
a shadow of an event yet to come. Let's check it out ... The purpose
of the End
Times is to bring the Christians through fire to test and prove
them worthy. The events of the will certainly accomplish this.
There also is a celebration known as the Feast of Tabernacles.
On the fifteenth day of the seventh month there is a gathering of
the Firstfruits of the land. It even says in Leviticus that this
event will be a statute that is to be kept forever and is to be
celebrated in the seventh month.
Leviticus 23:34-44
34 Speak unto the children of Israel, saying, The
fifteenth day of this seventh month shall be the feast of tabernacles
for seven days unto the Lord.
35 On the first day shall be an holy convocation: ye shall
do no servile work therein.
36 Seven days ye shall offer an offering made by fire unto
the Lord: on the eighth day shall be an holy convocation unto you;
and ye shall offer an offering made by fire unto the Lord: it is a
solemn assembly; and ye shall do no servile work therein.
37 These are the feasts of the Lord, which ye shall
proclaim to be holy convocations, to offer an offering made by fire
unto the Lord, a burnt offering, and a meat offering, a sacrifice,
and drink offerings, every thing upon his day:
38 Beside the sabbaths of the Lord, and beside your gifts,
and beside all your vows, and beside all your freewill offerings,
which ye give unto the Lord.
39 Also in the fifteenth day of the seventh month, when ye
have gathered in the fruit of the land, ye shall keep a feast unto
the Lord seven days: on the first day shall be a sabbath, and on the
eighth day shall be a sabbath.
40 And ye shall take you on the first day the boughs of
goodly trees, branches of palm trees, and the boughs of thick trees,
and willows of the brook; and ye shall rejoice before the Lord your
God seven days.
41 And ye shall keep it a feast unto the Lord seven days
in the year. It shall be a statute for ever in your generations: ye
shall celebrate it in the seventh month.
42 Ye shall dwell in booths seven days; all that are
Israelites born shall dwell in booths:
43 That your generations may know that I made the children
of Israel to dwell in booths, when I brought them out of the land of
Egypt: I am the Lord your God.
44 And Moses declared unto the children of Israel the
feasts of the LORD.
This Christian Holy Days celebration will be a shadow of an event to come ...
The event in the End Times known as the Rapture is also called the
Gathering and Jesus calls the 144,000 Jewish men that He sealed to
protect His Firstfruit.
Revelation 14:4
These are they which were not defiled with women; for they are
virgins. These are they which follow the Lamb whithersoever He goeth.
These were redeemed from among men, being the Firstfruits unto God
and to the Lamb.
There is a time period in the End Times that matches these celebrations
perfectly. It is during and at the end of the Trumpets. This
will be the Jewish time of testing and the Rapture of the Jewish
believers.
If you study the End Times ... This reveals that since the Anti
christ's reign of terror ends and the Jewish people are Raptured at
the Seventh Trumpet, this will be in the Jewish seventh month.

It even says in that this event will be a statute that is to be kept

Shadow of
The Trumpets
In the Book of Revelation, there is a time period known as the
Trumpets, where Angels blow Seven Trumpets which cause
disasters to occur.
The End Times
The purpose of the End Times is to bring the Christians through fire
to test and prove them worthy. The events of the End Times will
certainly accomplish this.
The Rapture
Revelation 14:4
The event in the End Times known as the Rapture is also called
the Gathering, when Jesus calls the 144,000 Jewish men that He
sealed to protect His firstfruit.
* See note below.
*Note: It's very important to note that
there are two firstfruits celebrations in the year, and likewise
there will be two raptures. It is God, "harvesting" or gathering
His own firstfruits. First He will gather the Gentiles,
then He will gather the Jewish.
How
do you know the first Rapture is for the Gentiles? Because Revelation
7:9 describes those who are "Raptured." It says they are people
from all nations, kindreds, people and tongues ... which is the
definition of Gentiles. Then in Revelation
15:2, God gathers His firstfruits, which are Jewish.
Why the Gentiles first? Because the Jewish people had the opportunity
to accept Jesus as their Lord, and they crucified Him instead. Now
they'll encounter Antichrist and many will accept him as their
lord, and many will find Truth before the End.
Notice that in the first rapture there is no mention of Anti
christ. This is because the Gospel (the Truth of Jesus) wasn't taught
to the Gentiles, as for them to be able to accept Him as their Lord
until after Jesus' death and Resurrection (the Time of the Gentiles),
so they don't have to experience Antichrist.
Also, Jesus said, The first will be last and the last will be first.
There is a time period in the End Times that matches these
celebrations perfectly. It is during and at the end of the Trumpets.
This will be the Jewish time of testing and the rapture of Jewish
believers.
To learn more, check out this Christian Holy Days study:
Antichrist reigns terror for 3½ years as confirmed
in the End
Times. Sooooo, his reign of terror starts ... At
Passover, which is in the first month of the Jewish year.
Major Note for Those Who Study End Times Prophecy
It is written that Antichrist has a 3½ year reign of
terror after breaking a seven
year false peace covenant around half way through the seven year
period (3½ years). Therefore, if Antichrists' reign of
terror starts at Passover ... This false peace covenant will be made 3
½ years earlier at the Day of Atonement. Beware of any Peace
deal made with Israel around the time of the Hebrew Holy Day of
Atonement (the tenth day of the seventh Jewish month).
Now, back to the Biblical Feasts in the Bible Spiritual projections.
This Antichrist entity is simply going to be the opposite
or anti of Jesus Christ, who started His ministry at the
seventh month celebrations and died for our sins at Passover during
the first month celebrations.
Another Christian Holy Days Point of Interest ... How appropriate is it that Satan will start his 7 year time period at
the same time of year that Jesus' ministry ended, making it appear to
the unaware as if he's taking over. This also shows us that since the
End Times last for seven years, and it ends in the seventh month,
then it will also have to begin in the seventh month of the Jewish
year as well.
Now, take a look at what Daniel wrote:
Daniel 12:12
Blessed is he that waiteth and cometh to the thousand three hundred
and five and thirty [1335] days.
That's
seventy five days after the 3½ years of the reign of Antichrist.
Well, it just so happens that seventy five days after the Day of
Atonement is the celebration of Hanukkah, which is the Jewish
celebration of the ousting of Antiochus Epiphanes. This evil
man had the spirit of Antichrist (just as John the Baptist had
the Spirit
of Elijah). So, we have another Feast Shadow represented by
Hanukkah, of Antichrist being ousted in the End Times. You
could say that Antiochus was a shadow of Antichrist.
You may be asking yourself ... What does that have to do with me?
Well, during the second 3½ years, called The Great
Tribulation of the End Times, which is when Antichrist
reigns, the believers in Jesus will be hidden in the wilderness.
After three and a half years of abiding in the wild, as you can
imagine, most anyone would be anxious to come out of hiding, assuming
that all is safe, but Daniel warns ... Blessed is he who waits
seventy five more days.

See Antichrist Study
Daniel 12:12
In the End Times, blessed is he who waits one thousand three hundred
thirty five days.
That is 3½ years + 75 days after the beginning of the reign of
Antichrist.)
Firstfruits is a celebration that happens twice a year, once for
each harvest time. The second or "new meat offering" was a shadow
of Pentecost.
Day
Feast and/or Event
Shadow of
50 days after the First Fruits celebration of the 1st month
Pentecost
Jesus stayed 40 days after
He resurrected and then was taken up to Heaven. It was 10 days after
His ascension, which would make it 50 days from the day Jesus was
Resurrected, that about 120 believers 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.
Christian Feasts Shadow Prophecy ... There is also a feast known as the Jubilee which happens every
fiftieth year. It begins on the Day of Atonement, which will be the
day that Antichrist's reign will end, and it is a celebration
of liberty throughout all the land.
