February 23 Readings

Today's reading from Numbers 28-30
The Back to the Bible Beginning to End Reading Plan

Numbers 28 spoke about daily offerings v. 18
Sabbath Offerings v. 19-10
Monthly Offerings v. 11-15

Numbers 28 began to speak about the Feast Days which were the Sabbath (Lev 23.3);
The Passover and the Unleavened bread (Lev 23.4-8; Exo 12.4-20; Num 28.16-25; Deut 16.1-8),
First Fruits (Lev 23.9-14);
Feast of the Weeks (Lev 23.15-22; Num 28.26-31; Deut 16.9-12);
the Feast of the Trumpets (Lev 23.23-25; Num 29.1-6);
the Day of Atonement (Lev 23.26-32; Lev 16.2-34; Num 29.7-11)
and the Feast of the Tabernacles (Lev 23.33-43; Num 29.12-39; Deut. 16.13-17).

It is so easy to get bogged into the details of the offerings. It's like we are not looking at the forest but at the the leaves of the trees of the forest! We tend not to see the big picture.
We have to look beyond the ceremonial details to see that Christ is foreshadowed in the offerings and feast days of Leviticus. All of these feast days have prophetic significance. For example, Passover symbolizes Good Friday, the Feast of the Unleavened Bread symbolizes Jesus was buried, and the Feast of the Firstfruits symbolizes the Resurrection of Jesus, the First Fruit (1Cor. 15.23)
