Before we begin, let’s establish first what the Gospel of Jesus Christ is because so few even know today.

THE GOSPEL OF JESUS CHRIST
1 Corinthians 15:3-4
“…Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures: and that He was buried, and that He rose again the third day according to the scriptures…”

Jesus said this is the Gospel:
“ This is what is written and so it behoved Christ to suffer, and to rise from the dead the third day: and that repentance and the remission of sins should be preached in His name among all nations, beginning at Jerusalem…”
Luke 24-46-47
God gives Israel 7 Feasts to follow every year and these feasts are meant to foreshadow the redemption of mankind, and the means by which God will accomplish that.
The Feasts:
1-Passover
2-The Feast of Unleavened Bread
3-The Feast of Firstfruits
4-Feast of Weeks (Pentecost)
5-Feast of Trumpets (Rosh Hashana)
6-Day of Atonement
7-Feast of Tabernacles
