The biblical
holy days are not just for the Jews. Christians, too, can receive the
blessing of these glorious days, the greatest object lessons in the
Bible. God gave each day to teach his people about him and his
relationship to them. From the Sabbath, which pictures eternity, to the
popular holiday. Hanakkah, mentioned by name only in the gospel of
John, the special times were sat apart to bless the people of God. In
this book, Barney Kasdan, leader of Kehilat Ariel of San Diego, one of
the largest Messianic congregations in the world, explains every holy
day described in Scripture. He teaches about the major and minor holy
days, ever mindful that he is writing to both Jews and Christians. Beginning
with the Sabbath, the first holy day revealed in Scripture, he writes
about Passover, Firstfruits, Pentecost, Trumpets, the Day of Atonement.
The Feast of Tabernacles, Hanukkah-the Festival of Dedication, and
Purim, the Special day given in the time of Queen Esther. Each
chapter offers historical background, traditional Jewish observance,
relevance to the New Testament, prophetic significance, and a practical
guide for believers, including recipes, songs and crafts. There
are other books on the subject of the Feast of Israel, but this one goes
beyond them all. It is written by a Messianic Jew, a Jew who trusts
Yeshua. Who better to explain God's Appointed Times?
