Product Description

Isreal'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. As such, few themes are more timely or rewarding for God's people today.

The Feasts of the Lord covers all aspects of the biblical feasts...historical background, biblical 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.

The words of the Savior, His messianic claims, and Bible prophecy will all take on a rich, new relevance for you against the exciting backdrop of The Feasts of the Lord.

Skillfully shows importance of Jewish holidays to Christians
This excellent book clearly shows how the seven feasts that God commanded the Jews to observe are important to Christians today. The authors skillfully show how these feasts clearly point toward the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ. This is a definite "must read" for anyone with an interest in prophecy, end times, or the return of Jesus Christ!

Prophetic fulfillment of the feasts just coincidence?
Was it just a coincidence that the four spring feasts of the Lord were fulfilled prophetically during the first coming of Christ? Howard and Rosenthal show us how the feasts of the Lord were God's appointed times to meet with man for holy purposes, and how having an understanding of the prophetic fulfillment of each feast will clue us in to where we stand in God's prophetic calendar. Written from a Jewish-Christian perspective, this beautifully illustrated book also covers other Jewish holy days and material that are not normally included in similar studies, and because of the authors' backgrounds, you can be sure that you are getting authentic information. Do you think it will be a coincidence if the three remaining fall feasts are fulfilled during Christ's second coming? To find out, read this book. To understand why this is not "date-setting", read "The Pre-Wrath Rapture Of The Church" by Marvin Rosenthal.

Well thought out
Howard and Rosenthal have made quite a mark for themselves in Jewish-Christian scholarship. Much of their effort is to link the Hebrew Bible festivals to a New Testament observance and belief system. By all regards, they accomplish their goal quite well. However, the book is not written as in-depth as I would have liked to have seen. There is a wealth of information out there as to what the church father thought about the seven festivals, and it would have been nice if there had been an acknowledgement of that fact. Additionally, the binding can be poor at times, particularly if one makes extensive use of it. On the whole, not bad and still well thought out.
