1. The Ecclesiastical year versus God’s Moedim
understanding God’s rhythm for living and its connection with Salvation History

2. In the next seven slide-sets we will look at each of the seven Moedim, and see how each refers to the ministry and completed work of Yeshua ha Massiasch – Jesus the Messiah
For now, we remind ourselves that the seven Moedim can be summarised from a Messianic viewpoint as follows:

3. Eternal home
Forgiveness and new life
Second coming
Eternal Harvest
Resurrection
Burial
Crucifixion

4. The precise dates when these Moedim fall are of interest, but few would suggest that Christian disciples are obligated in any way to observe them. Whilst no obligation exists, many today are reaching a consensus that there is a practical blessing in “marking” the rhythm of the devotional year in exactly the same way that Jesus did.
FYI the exact dates are indicated below :

5. Tabernacles Atonement Trumpets Shavuout First Fruits Unleavened Bread
15th day of 7th month
Atonement
10th day of the 7th month
Trumpets

16 Nisan
Unleavened Bread

6. Always remember these are marked out as days in the Hebrew calendar, not the Gregorian calendar……
In the next seven lessons we will explore each Moedim across 4 dimensions:
Meaning
Prophetic fulfillment
Present Jewish observance
Jesus (how Jesus provides ultimate meaning to the Moedim)
