If you have studied the previous diagram sufficiently, let us begin to amplify what it seeks to illustrate.
                 To do so, let me share with you some basics about the assigned dates of the feasts given in Lev. 23.

                                                            “SPEAK TO THE CHILDREN OF ISRAEL, AND SAY TO THEM:
                                    THE FEASTS OF THE LORD, WHICH YOU SHALL PROCLAIM TO BE HOLY CONVOCATIONS,

                                                          THESE ARE MY FEASTS…THESE ARE THE FEASTS OF THE LORD,
                        HOLY CONVOCATIONS WHICH YOU SHALL PROCLAIM AT THEIR APPOINTED TIMES…” Lev. 23 excerpts

Leviticus 23 records              THREE FEASTS IN                    THREE FEASTS IN
seven feasts spanning a           THE FIRST WEEK                THE FIRST THREE WEEKS

months. However, God                OF THE FIRST                     OF THE SEVENTH
did not simply assign                  MONTH...                            MONTH...
one feast per month, but

After the long interval with no feasts contained in that time period, the last three feasts take place within
the first three weeks of the seventh Lunar month.

The Lord Jesus Christ is using the appointed feasts of Leviticus 23 as His appointment calendar. He is
fulfilling each feast in its chronological order as given. He is fulfilling each feast on its appointed day as
stated in Leviticus 23. Four of the seven feasts are now historical facts:
