The Three Biblical Feast Seasons
• Fulfilled by Jesus Christ
Spring Feasts (Justification/Salvation): Passover – Holy Week – 1st Coming of Jesus Christ
• Fulfilled by the Holy Spirit (Acts 2:1)
Summer ‘Middle’ Feast (Sanctification): Pentecost – Acts 2:1
• Fulfilled by God the Father (Matthew 24:36)
Fall Feasts (Final Redemption): Day of Atonement – 2nd Coming, Final Restoration
Note: The Fall Feasts Rosh Hashanah, Yom Kippur and Sukkot (Feast of Tabernacles) the Jewish Feast are observed every year by Judaism and remain primarily Judiasm as the Feasts have yet to be fulfilled by God for the Christian Church.
The Christian fulfillment of Rosh Hashanah the Feast of Trumpets happens only once [when God the Father calls the Bride of the Son of God the Christian Church into Heaven] (Matthew 24:36).
Likewise there is only one Christian Holy Week (Passover) Feast fulfilled in Jesus Christ.
There is only one Christian Pentecost (Shavuot) fulfilled in the Holy Spirit.
Final Note: The Christian High Holy Day of Christmas and the Leviticus Chapter 23 High Feast Days should be occasions where the many church denominations each look to one of the Three Authoritative Parent authentic Leadership Churches.
New Testament Parent Authority Churches
1. Orthodox Greek/Russian/Armenian – Greek
2. Catholic – Rome – Vatican – Latin
3. Anglican – Canterbury/York – English (AV-KJV)
Old Testament Jewish Authority Assembly
Jewish – Jerusalem – Hebrew
• Early Church Quartodeciman (14th)
The Quartodeciman CONTROVERSY The Desire to Center Holy Week on the 14th – Last Supper | The Church is Commanded by the Nicaea Council to commence Holy Week based on Resurrection Sunday (Easter) each Year.
The Quartodeciman ERROR is stating that the Crucifixion of Jesus was on the 14th in actuality it was the next day on the 15th of Nisan.
The Quartodeciman HERESY – A desire to submit Christianity back into Judiasm via The Passover Feast.
• The Holy Triunity
God the Father – Pomegranate Tree
Jesus Christ the Son – Grape Vine – The Scepter of King Jesus is made of wood from the Grape Vine (Ezekiel 19:11)
Holy Spirit – Olive Tree
Redeemed Humans – Fig Tree

• The Cross The Scepter of King Jesus
The Symbolism and Meaning of the Christian Cross.

Ezekiel tells us that the Scepter of the Messiah is made of wood from the Grape Vine (Ezekiel 19:11).
