Arsenal Note: We love this book! It is probably the best book we know of offering a biblical overview of the Feasts that God instituted for the Children of Israel. The book is amazing, featuring full color pictures throughout. If you are looking for a good book that will introduce you to the Old Testament Feats, and Christs place in them, we would recommend this book. Israels 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 Gods prophetic calendar, outlining the work of historys most important person Jesus, the Messiah. As such, few themes are more timely or rewarding for Gods people today. 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. 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.
