More on God’s Appointed Feasts and Times
The continual daily sacrifices and also the sacrifices at God’s Appointed Times, made by fire at the tabernacle and later at the temple, all pointed to the once for all sacrifice of Jesus:
“A fire shall always be burning on the altar; it shall never go out.” Leviticus 6:13 NKJV
“I exhort you, therefore, brothers, in view of God’s mercies, to offer yourselves as a sacrifice, living and set apart for God. This will please him; it is the logical ‘Temple worship’ for you.” Romans 12:1 CJB
“I appeal to you therefore, brothers, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable to God, which is your spiritual worship.” Romans 12:1 ESV
THE SABBATH DAY
Although we haven’t looked at the weekly seventh day Sabbath, it was the first Appointed Time mentioned in Leviticus 23:
“And the LORD spoke to Moses, saying, “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. ‘Six days shall work be done, but the seventh day is a Sabbath of solemn rest, a holy convocation. You shall do no work on it; it is the Sabbath of the LORD in all your dwellings.” Leviticus 23:1-3 NKJV
