We celebrate Passion Week and Easter on holy days that move with the full moon at the beginning of spring. These days are still connected to the Jewish calendar. During the exodus out of Egypt, God told the children of Israel to celebrate the feasts of Passover, Unleavened Bread and Firstfruits. What were feast days for the Hebrew people are fulfilled prophesies of the death, burial and resurrection of Jesus Christ.

Passover - 14th of Nisan - Lamb Sacrificed

In the fourteenth day of the first month at even is the Lord's passover (Leviticus 23:5).

God brought ten plagues against the Egyptians so Pharaoh would release the children of Israel. Passover is the tenth plague. Before sunset, the people of Israel killed a lamb and applied the blood on the top and sides of the doorframe in the shape of a cross. When the death angel saw the blood, he passed over the house and the firstborn children lived..

In the tenth day of this month they shall take to them every man a lamb, according to the house of their fathers, a lamb for an house: And you shall keep it up until the fourteenth day of the same month: and the whole assembly of the congregation of Israel shall kill it in the evening. And the blood shall be to you for a token upon the houses where you are: and when I see the blood, I will pass over you, and the plague shall not be upon you to destroy you, when I smite the land of Egypt (Exodus 12:3, 6, 13).
.

On the fifteenth day of the same month is the feast of unleavened bread unto the Lord: seven days you must eat unleavened bread (Leviticus 23:6).

The first and seventh days of Unleavened Bread are High Sabbaths. There are 430 years from God's covenant with Abraham to the exodus from Egypt (Galatians 3:13-14, 17). This prophecy is fulfilled to the day. The children of Israel left Egypt quickly during the night. They did not have time to allow bread to rise. Unleavened Bread is the first of three pilgrimages to Jerusalem and continues for seven days.

They shall eat the flesh in that night, roast with fire, and unleavened bread. And so shall you eat it; with your loins girded, your shoes on your feet, and your staff in your hand; and you shall eat it in haste: it is the Lord's passover. And it came to pass at the end of the four hundred and thirty years, even the selfsame day it came to pass, that all the hosts of the Lord went out from the land of Egypt (Exodus 12:8, 11, 41).

Firstfruits 16th of Nisan - Crossing the Red Sea

When you come into the land which I give unto you, and shall reap the harvest, then you shall bring a sheaf of the firstfruits of your harvest unto the priest (Leviticus 23:10).

On the Feast of Firstfruits, God parted the Red Sea and Israel crossed on dry land at night. The Egyptians followed but God returned the waters killing Pharaoh and his army. The death of Pharaoh ended his ownership of the children of Israel. After the third day, Israel was truly free.

The Lord brought us forth out of Egypt with a mighty hand, and with an outstretched arm, and with great terribleness, and with signs, and with wonders: And he has brought us into this place, and has given us this land, even a land that flows with milk and honey. And now, behold, I have brought the firstfruits of the land, which thou, O Lord, has given me (Deuteronomy 26:8-10).

Weeks/Pentecost 6th of Sivan - Law Given

See Pentecost: The Law & Holy Spirit Given

Three Feast Fulfilled in Jesus Christ

On the 14th of Nisan 4000 AM, Jesus Christ was crucified. On the 15th of Nisan, He was in the grave. On the 18th of Nisan, He rose again. The Abrahamic covenant, the exodus from Egypt and redemption were on the same days on the Jewish calendar. God told Abraham and Moses the day of redemption. The three days fulfills the prophecy of Jonah (Matthew 12:39-40) and matches the three and a half days of the two witnesses (Revelation 11:3, 7, 11). See Jewish Calendar.

This year, Passover begins at sunset on Friday to sunset Saturday March 30-31, followed by Unleavened Bread on Saturday sunset for a week to Saturday sunset, March 31-April 7 and Firstfruits on Saturday sunset to Sunday sunset March 31-April 1. This year Good Friday is on Friday, March 30 and Easter is on Sunday, April 1. We celebrate Passover, Unleavened Bread and Firstfruits as the death, burial and resurrection of Jesus Christ (1 Corinthians 5:7). Hallelujah, for He is risen.

Through the Abrahamic covenant, the exodus out of Egypt and the New Covenant in Jesus Christ, we see God's plan fulfilled in God's time. Since God fulfilled the four spring feasts with redemption and then Pentecost, the feast of Trumpets, Atonement and Tabernacles fulfills the three fall feasts of the Rapture, Second Coming and reign of Jesus Christ on earth.
