The underlying theme, the chronological,prophetic order of the contents of the New Testament that has
       its origins in the ancient Levitical law of the Old Testament is taken from the seven feasts given to
                                                     Israel by God through Moses.

                “OPEN                             “AND THE LORD SPOKE TO MOSES, SAYING,
              MY EYES,                 ‘SPEAK TO THE CHILDREN OF ISRAEL, AND SAY TO THEM:
            THAT I MAY                 THE FEASTS OF THE LORD, WHICH YOU SHALL PROCLAIM

                   SEE                   TO BE HOLY CONVOCATIONS, THESE ARE MY FEASTS…
            WONDROUS

                THINGS
                 FROM
            YOUR LAW.”

                      Psalm 119:18

     1      THE FOUR                                        2  THE BOOK
             GOSPELS                                             OF ACTS

     1 23                                                      4

     DEATH  BURIAL RESURRECTION                                    HOLY SPIRIT GIVEN

        “THE GOSPEL”                                           “THE CHBIURTHROCFH AGE”

                  “MOREOVER, BRETHREN, I DECLARE TO YOU                     “NOW WHEN

                                  THE GOSPEL                   THE DAY OF PENTECOST
                                                                  HAD FULLY COME…
                              WHICH I PREACHED TO YOU…
          THAT CHRIST DIED FOR OUR SINS ACCORDING TO THE             THEY WERE ALL FILLED
     SCRIPTURES, AND THAT HE WAS BURIED, AND THAT HE ROSE         WITH THE HOLY SPIRIT…”
       AGAIN THE THIRD DAY ACCORDING TO THE SCRIPTURES”
                                                                                Acts 2:1-4
                                             1 Cor. 15:1-4

       It is an inescapable conclusion that the chronological order in which the New Testament is written is the
       same chorological order in which the seven feasts of Leviticus 23 were given. The message contained

            within the four gospels centers upon the death, burial and resurrection of the Lord Jesus Christ.
                                     Paul calls these three events “The Gospel” (1 Cor. 15:1-4).

            Nor is it mere coincidence that the fourth feast of Leviticus 23 is “Pentecost” (“Feast of Weeks”).
     Acts 2 is very careful to tell us that the Holy Spirit was given to the church, “when the day of Pentecost had

       fully come” (Acts 2:1). In the New Testament, the Book of Acts follows the message of the four gospels.
