Publisher's Synopsis
God established His feasts. Now you can learn all about them! The second book in the Messiah's Calendar series, "Messiah's Calendar Book 2: The Feasts of the Lord," introduces you to God's special appointed times. This book answers intriguing questions like: Which major events of Jesus' life align with God's special appointed times? How do God's Old Testament holy days act as prophetic symbols and "pictures" of future things to come? Why did believers continue to observe the feasts for decades after the resurrection of Jesus, according to the New Testament? Can one still celebrate God's appointed times today -- by grace through faith -- in a manner that truly magnifies and glorifies Jesus? Each chapter of this book is devoted to one of the seven appointed times of the Lord described in Leviticus 23, and contains educational charts, helpful graphics, beautiful illustrations and often-overlooked Biblical insights. Optional "observance" sections containing suggested prayers, scriptures, songs, recipes and children's crafts are provided at the conclusions of all chapters for those readers who feel God's leading to learn how to observe the feasts. God's seven appointed times are explored in depth, including their symbolism in prophesy and fulfillment in the New Testament and in the ministry of Jesus. Easy explanations of any Greek or Hebrew terms are provided, along with simple phonetic pronunciations (prior knowledge of Hebrew or Greek is not necessary). Listed scriptures are fully "typed out" for convenience in classroom study. As with all books in the Messiah's Alphabet and Messiah's Calendar series, the language is simple, direct, and sensitive to readers of both Jewish and non-Jewish backgrounds. Excellent for either group or individual study. Suitable for Messianic congregations and churches alike. This book is the perfect follow-up companion text for Messiah's Calendar Book 1, which introduces the reader to God's Biblical timekeeping system.
