Did we at one time have a diagram that showed the old testament feasts\u00a0and celebrations and what part of the year they took place? I would like to know their seasons and spiritual meanings.<\/p>\n

The Jews now start the new year on the first day of the seventh month instead of the date called for in Lev 23, which I will copy below. But first here is the Wikipedia entry for Rosh Hashana, what the scripture call ‘the feast of trumpets’:<\/div>\n

Tishrei is the first month of the Jewish civil year, but the seventh month of the ecclesiastical year.<\/p>\n
“The day is said to be the anniversary of the creation of\u00a0 Adam and Eve<\/span><\/a>, the first man and woman, and their first actions toward the realization of humanity’s role in\u00a0 God<\/span><\/a>‘s world.

Here now is what the scriptures say about the Old Testament festivals:<\/p>\n
Lev 23:1\u00a0And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
\nLev 23:2\u00a0Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them,\u00a0Concerning\u00a0the feasts of the LORD, which ye shall proclaim\u00a0to be\u00a0holy convocations,\u00a0even\u00a0these\u00a0are\u00a0my feasts.
\nLev 23:3\u00a0Six days shall work be done: but the seventh day\u00a0is\u00a0the sabbath of rest, an holy convocation; ye shall do no work\u00a0therein: it is\u00a0the sabbath of the LORD in all your dwellings.

\nLev 23:9\u00a0And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
\nLev 23:10\u00a0Speak 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:
\nLev 23:11\u00a0And he shall wave the sheaf before the LORD, to be accepted for you: on the morrow after the sabbath the priest shall wave it.

\nLev 23:14\u00a0And ye shall eat neither bread, nor parched corn, nor green ears, until the selfsame day that ye have brought an offering unto your God:\u00a0it shall be\u00a0a statute for ever throughout your generations in all your dwellings.
\nLev 23:15\u00a0And 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:
\nLev 23:16\u00a0Even unto the morrow after the seventh sabbath shall ye number fifty days; and ye shall offer a new meat offering unto the LORD.
\nLev 23:17\u00a0Ye shall bring out of your habitations two wave loaves of two tenth deals: they shall be of fine flour; they shall be baken\u00a0with leaven; they are\u00a0the firstfruits<\/strong> unto the LORD.

\nLev 23:22\u00a0And when ye reap the harvest of your land, thou shalt not make clean riddance of the corners of thy field when thou reapest, neither shalt thou gather any gleaning of thy harvest: thou shalt leave them unto the poor, and to the stranger: I\u00a0am\u00a0the LORD your God.
\nLev 23:23\u00a0And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
\nLev 23:24\u00a0Speak unto the children of Israel, saying, In the seventh month, in the first\u00a0day\u00a0of the month, shall ye have a sabbath, a memorial of\u00a0blowing of trumpets<\/strong>, an holy convocation.
\nLev 23:25\u00a0Ye shall do no servile work\u00a0therein:\u00a0but ye shall offer an offering made by fire unto the LORD.
\nLev 23:26\u00a0And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
\nLev 23:27\u00a0Also on the tenth\u00a0day\u00a0of this seventh month\u00a0there shall be\u00a0a day of atonement:<\/strong>\u00a0it shall be an holy convocation unto you; and ye shall afflict your souls, and offer an offering made by fire unto the LORD.
\nLev 23:28\u00a0And ye shall do no work in that same day: for it\u00a0is\u00a0a day of atonement, to make an atonement for you before the LORD your God.

\nLev 23:32\u00a0It\u00a0shall be\u00a0unto you a sabbath of rest, and ye shall afflict your souls: in the ninth\u00a0day\u00a0of the month at even, from even unto even, shall ye celebrate your sabbath.
\nLev 23:33\u00a0And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
\nLev 23:34\u00a0Speak unto the children of Israel, saying, The fifteenth day of this seventh month\u00a0shall be\u00a0the feast of tabernacles\u00a0<\/strong>for\u00a0seven days unto the LORD.

\nLev 23:36\u00a0Seven days ye shall offer an offering made by fire unto the LORD:\u00a0on the eighth day\u00a0<\/strong>shall be an holy convocation unto you; and ye shall offer an offering made by fire unto the LORD: it\u00a0is\u00a0a solemn assembly;\u00a0and\u00a0ye shall do no servile work\u00a0therein.
\nLev 23:37\u00a0These\u00a0are\u00a0the feasts of the LORD, which ye shall proclaim\u00a0to be\u00a0holy 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:
\nLev 23:38\u00a0Beside 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.
\nLev 23:39\u00a0Also 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\u00a0shall be\u00a0a sabbath, and on the eighth day\u00a0shall be\u00a0a sabbath.

\nLev 23:42\u00a0Ye shall dwell in booths seven days; all that are Israelites born shall dwell in booths:
\nLev 23:43\u00a0That 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\u00a0am\u00a0the LORD your God.
\nLev 23:44\u00a0And Moses declared unto the children of Israel the feasts of the LORD.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
I well remember being blown away as a teen to discover when I started taking the Bible Correspondence Course from the World Wide Church of God, that these holy days are a type and shadow of the plan of God for all men.<\/p>\n
Here is what these days foreshadow in the exact order in which they are here presented to us here\u00a0in Leviticus 23:<\/p>\n
Passover<\/strong>: The death of The Christ for our sins.<\/p>\n
Days of Unleavened Bread: After being cleansed by His blood we begin to put sin out of our lives, but we are “yet carnal” (1Co 3:1-4), and we must wait fifty days, symbolizing grace through faith (The Meaning of the Number Five<\/a>), as we come to be cleansed to the point of being able to receive the holy spirit on:<\/p>\n
Pentecost<\/strong>: The birth of the church. The only holy day where the meat (meal) offering is offered with leaven, telling us that we are still in vessels of clay, bodies of sinful flesh, dying daily.<\/p>\n
Feast of Trumpets<\/strong>: The beginning of the judgment that is now on the house of God (1Pe 4:17).<\/p>\n
Atonement<\/strong>: The death of our old man symbolized by fasting and denying the flesh. Through this death we are brought to “be raised with Him in newness of life” (Rom 6:1-6), both spiritually as being already resurrected with Christ, and as a type of the literal first resurrection.<\/p>\n
Tabernacles<\/strong>: The first resurrection and the thousand year reign of Christ and His Christ.<\/p>\n
8th And Last Great Day of the Feast<\/strong>: The second resurrection and the white throne judgment and the salvation of all men:<\/p>\n
Joh 7:37\u00a0In\u00a0the last day, that great day of the feast<\/u><\/strong>, Jesus stood and cried, saying, If any man thirst, let him come unto me, and drink.
\nJoh 7:38 He that believeth on me, as the scripture hath said, out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
As we now know, “He that believeth on\u00a0 me” will, through the work of the lake of fire, include all who are in Adam (Rom 3:21-22; 1Co 15:22; 1Ti 2:4 and 4:10; 2Pe 3:9 and 1Jo 2:10 etc.)<\/p>\n
I hope this is all of some help to you.<\/p>\n
