Excellent! Whether you are a Jesus scholar or a Christian, this book is for you. And if you’re both, this book can’t be missed. You’ll learn about:

Passover
The Feast of Unleavened Bread
The Feast of Firstfruits
Shavuot – The Feast of Weeks
Rosh Hashanah – The Feast of Trumpets
Yom Kippur – The Day of Atonement
Sukkot – The Feast of Tabernacles
Hanukkah – The Feast of Dedication
Purim – the Feast of Lots

Also is a great discussion of the Jubilee year. Inspirational and informative, complete with pictures, photos and charts, Howard and Rosenthal first explain the Jewish calendar and discuss the flavor and atmosphere of the Spring and Fall seasons. Then they go through each of the feasts in more detail, presenting their Biblical observance, modern-day observance among Jews, and most fascinating of all, their fulfillment by Jesus. Preterists and historical-critical scholars will easily relate the fulfillment of each feast to the first century, while believers in a futuristic return of Christ will be just as satisfied. (Howard and Rosenthal subscribe to the traditional futuristic interpretation.)

I can’t overemphasize how much more meaning you’ll find when you read Paul and the Gospels if you start with a basic understanding of the Jewish Feasts. The New Testament just reads so much more rich and inspirational from a Jewish perspective! Particularly the Johannine literature, John’s Gospel and Revelation, in which an underlying theme is the fulfillment of the Jewish Feasts. Both these Biblical books recognize the destruction of the Temple as the end of an age, presenting Jesus as the replacement for all the Jewish rituals. ( )

NO OF PAGES: 224 SUB CAT I: Feasts/Festivals SUB CAT II: Escatology SUB CAT III: DESCRIPTION: Israel's feasts are infinitely more important than just a series of cultural observances. These feasts are appointed by the Lord, and they are owned by the Lord. He calls them "my feasts." Together they form God's prophetic calendar, outlining the work of history's most important person--Jesus, the Messiah. The Feasts of the Lord covers all aspects of the biblical feasts--historical background, biblical observance, modern observance, and prophetic significance. Yet, this book is not just another reference book on the feasts. It is written from the Hebrew Christian viewpoint, helping you to see the feasts through Jewish eyes.NOTES: SUBTITLE: God's Prophetic Calendar From Calvary to the Kingdom
