Introduction

Feast, Cookout, BBQ, whatever you want to call it, God knew that His people would enjoy a good festival. He proclaimed 7 of them (and they acquired 2 more). Each of these feasts has relevance to how the Israelites became a nation, but they're also prophetic and speak to how He gave us salvation. It this first part of a three part series, we're looking at Passover, the Feast of Unleavened Bread, and the Festival of the First Fruits.

So he made them a feast, and they ate and drank. Genesis 26:30 NKJV
