Written with Christian and Jewish audiences in mind,
The Feasts of the Lord takes the reader through all the holy days of Israel. These ancient celebrations come alive as they are enhanced with over one hundred and fifty full-color charts, photographs and paintings. As the history of the Judean holy days is revealed, the Jewish customs that serve as the most foundational facts of Christianity are brought to light. As Rosenthal and Howard strive to create a fresh understanding, these traditions are weighed in the light of God's Word to reveal the Messiah, Jesus of Nazareth.
About the Authors:
Kevin Howard is an ordained minister with unique insight into Jewish culture and the Hebrew language as a result of his involvement in the synagogue, the Jewish community, and his trips to Israel. He spent six years as an administrator and Bible teacher with The Friends of Israel Gospel Ministry, Inc, a world-wide missionary organization to the Jewish people.
Marvin Rosenthal was born and raised in a conservative Jewish home and then became a Christian as a teenage by following the godly example of his mother. He served in the pastorate for six years, before serving The Friends of Israel Gospel Ministry, Inc. as a director for sixteen years.
Isreal’s feasts are infinitely more important than just a series of cultural observances. These feasts are appointed by the Lord, and they are owned by the Lord. He calls them "my feasts." Together they form God’s prophetic calendar, outlining the work of history’s most important person...Jesus, the Messiah. As such, few themes are more timely or rewarding for God’s people today.
The Feasts of the Lord covers all aspects of the biblical feasts...historical background, biblical observance, and prophetic significance. Yet, this book is not just another reference book on the feasts. It is written from the Hebrew Christian viewpoint, helping you to see the feasts through Jewish eyes.
The words of the Savior, His messianic claims, and Bible prophecy will all take on a rich, new relevance for you against the exciting backdrop of The Feasts of the Lord.

Written by two Messianic Jews, this book has exactly the information I was looking for. It describes the Jewish feasts, their history, how they were observed originally, their modern observation, their applicability and their prophetical significance. This is a book that all Christians should read to better understand the Jewish feasts and how they point to Christ's sacrifice on the cross, His burial and resurrection and how they point to future prophetic events like the Rapture, Tribulation, Christ's Kingdom on Earth and the Eternal state. The book is of high quality construction with excellent color illustrations of the Temple layout, the Jewish calendar, modern Jewish holiday schedule as well as other useful illustrations. It has a bibliography, text and scriptural indexes. An excellent addition to any Christian Library.

This book is a masterpiece. I read it at least three times. For each feast the author gives a good introduction of the Jewish tradition. I highly recommend it to all Christians, regardless of their spiritual level.

An excellant source to aid understanding of Jewish traditions and how they point to Jesus the Christ. Very informative, teaches things not usually taught in Christianity.

This is a beautifully illustrated book which explains the feasts commanded by the Lord, and also their prophetic significance. I would recommend it for its beauty, scholarship, and insight into the conversation Yeshua must have had with His friends on the road to Emmaus when He said, "How foolish you are, and how slow of heart to believe all that the prophets have spoken! Did not the Mashiach have to suffer these things and then enter his glory?" And beginning with Moses and all the Prophets, he explained to them what was said in all the Scriptures concerning himself. (Luke 24)

This is a book that tells of the "Last Supper" in words that are easy to understand.

This gorgeously illustrated book explains the richness of meaning in the seven holy days ordained by the Lord, and their foreshadowing of the Messiah's life. The first four feasts have already been fulfilled in Jesus's death, burial, resurrection, and giving of the Holy Spirit. The final three feasts will be fulfilled by Jesus's return for believers (the Rapture) and to judge the wicked, Israel's repentance and turning to Jesus as Savior, and Jesus's return to tabernacle among men. Truly, there are no coincidences with God! The symbolism in these feasts is breathtaking, and reinforces the majesty and glory of God's plan of redemption.
