God establishes a system of seven holidays - appointed feasts - which are all outlined in Leviticus 23. Understanding the depths of these holidays - and how Jesus fulfills them - is a goldmine for Christians. With the Passover holiday approaching, we decided to do a review of all of the holidays, and how the writers of the New Testament weave them into the biblical text. See the files below help with the information:

This is a continuation of our first video about the "Renewal of Time" and how human beings long to have time renewed. In the creation narrative of Genesis 1 - 3 - we find a series of seven symbols. These seven symbols are then repeated throughout the biblical text at major points of transition - or renewal. We can follow this pattern from the creation, to Noah, to the Exodus, to Joshua, and finally all the way up to Jesus. This pattern also seems to play out in our lives as we are continually renewed along our path of spiritual growth. Class Handout:
There is a built in desire in human beings to renew time or to use a biblical term, to redeem time. This idea is found in the rituals of all of the cultures surrounding Israel in the Ancient Near East as well as in the rituals of Israel (see Man and Temple, Patai below). We also find this idea woven into the biblical text. In this first video we look at the biblical holiday - Festival of Trumpets - as well as the Gospel of John to illustrate this idea. In part 2 - we'll look at a series of symbols from the creation narrative in Genesis 1-3 which are then repeated throughout the biblical text at major point of renewal - right up to and including Jesus.
