The Messiah in the Appointed Times (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781968607005)

The Appointed Times, also known as the Jewish holy days, were established in the Law of Moses almost 3,500 years ago. These sacred events were given by the Lord for the people of Israel to honor and observe every year on specific dates throughout each year as festivals, new moons, and Sabbath days. They were given to Israel to annually teach about their Messiah, who would, one day, be revealed as Jesus of Nazareth, making them as relevant to Christians as they are to the nation of Israel.

The Appointed Times that occur in the springtime are shadows of Jesus' first coming, 2,000 years ago - teaching of His death, burial, resurrection, and giving the Holy Spirit - clearly identifying Jesus of Nazareth as the promised Messiah. The Appointed Times that occur in the fall (autumn) foreshadow the glorious return of the Messiah, who will reign with great power as the King of kings of the earth for all eternity - a day that is still future.

Designed as a guidebook, this booklet presents a brief explanation of each Appointed Time on the left-hand page and the Messiah's fulfillment on the right - allowing the reader to see at a glance both the timing and the substance of each shadow prophecy. Each section is designed to be read shortly before its corresponding Appointed Time arrives on the calendar - in the spring for Passover, The Feast of Unleavened Bread, First Fruits, and Pentecost, and in the fall, the Day of Trumpets, the Day of Atonement, and Feast of Booths.

An online reading schedule, along with brief companion videos for each lesson are freely available at TheAppointedTimes.com/calendar. The booklet may be read devotionally at any time of year, or corporately as part of a church calendar to honor the Appointed Times and their fulfillment in Jesus the Messiah.

Our prayer is that your faith will be strengthened as these sacred patterns confirm that Jesus is truly the Lord's Messiah - the hope of glory!
