1. Understanding the Seven Feasts of Yahweh
The biblical calendar is structured around seven divine appointments, known as the Moedim (מועדים) — sacred times encoded in Leviticus 23. These feasts are not merely commemorative; they are prophetic shadows of God’s redemptive plan. The first four — Passover, Unleavened Bread, Firstfruits, and Shavuot — were fulfilled in the first coming of Yeshua as Messiah ben Yosef, the suffering servant. The final three — Yom Teruah (Trumpets), Yom Kippur (Atonement), and Sukkot (Tabernacles) — await their fulfillment in the second coming of Yahweh Himself as Messiah ben David, the reigning King.
Each feast reveals a different stage in the journey from death to resurrection, from exile to union. Their order is not arbitrary: it is a divine script written into time itself, revealing the arc of redemption from Egypt to Eden restored.
2. Spring Fulfillments: The First Coming of Yeshua, Messiah ben Yosef
The first three feasts — Passover, Unleavened Bread, and Firstfruits — find their fulfillment in the Passion, burial, and resurrection of Yeshua.
- Passover (Pesach): Yeshua, the Lamb of God, is crucified on the 14th of Nisan, fulfilling the role of the lamb whose blood saves from death (Exodus 12:5–6, John 1:29).
- Unleavened Bread: He is buried during this feast, fulfilling the sinless offering hidden in the earth.
- Firstfruits: On the 17th of Nisan, Yeshua rises from the dead as the firstfruits of those who sleep (1 Corinthians 15:20), sealing the victory over death.
3. The Middle Feast: Shavuot (Pentecost) — The Turning Point
Fifty days from Firstfruits, on the 6th of Sivan, Shavuot marks the giving of the Torah at Sinai and later, the giving of the Holy Spirit in Jerusalem (Acts 2). It is both the marriage covenant at Sinai and the spiritual empowerment of the ekklesia.
In 2025, Shavuot becomes the axis around which the tribulation turns:
- The Antichrist initiates the counterfeit temple.
- Yahweh in human form is baptized.
- The Spirit is poured out anew on the 144,000.
This is the fulcrum — the separation of the holy from the profane begins.
4. The Fall Fulfillments: The Return of Yahweh as Messiah ben David
The last three feasts will be fulfilled not by the Son, but by the Father — Yahweh Himself descending into history.
- Yom Teruah (Trumpets): The King returns visibly. “At the last trumpet… the dead will be raised imperishable” (1 Corinthians 15:52).
- Yom Kippur (Atonement): The books are opened (Daniel 7:10). Yahweh judges the nations, but as one among them, transforming judgment into mercy (Revelation 20:12).
- Sukkot (Tabernacles): God dwells among His people (Leviticus 23:42–43, Revelation 21:3). The Shekhinah overshadows creation. On the 8th day, Shemini Atzeret, the eternal marriage is consummated.
5. Are We in 5785 — or 5995?
The rabbinic calendar places creation at 3760 BCE, leading to the current Jewish year 5785. However, when we examine the genealogies and timelines of Scripture without the rabbinic compression (especially in the Seder Olam Rabbah, which shortens Israel’s stay in Egypt from 430 years to 210), we find a corrected year of creation as 3970 BCE.
Thus:
3970 + 2025 = 5995
This means we are not just in another year — we are five years away from the sixth millennium’s conclusion, the threshold of the Messianic Age, the 7th day, the Sabbath of creation.
6. Divine Acceleration During the Tribulation
Time in the final Tribulation unfolds under divine acceleration, fulfilling two distinct phases:
1. First Phase — Beginning on Shavuot (June 2, 2025):
- 16 prophetic days fulfilled per 1 real day
- 80 earthly days = 1,260 prophetic days
Key events:
- Rise of the Antichrist
- Construction of the counterfeit Third Temple
- Abolishment of daily sacrifice
2. Second Phase — Beginning August 23, 2025 (30th of Av):
- 12-hour days: 6 day + 6 night
- Again, 1,260 prophetic days completed in 40 real days (80 doubly accelerated days)
- Rise of the Beast and complete desecration of the Temple
7. Timeline of the Feasts and Events in 2025
✝️ April 14, 2025 — 17th of Nisan — Day 104
Feast: Firstfruits (Resurrection Day) Event: Yeshua rises from the dead. Marks the beginning of the 50-day count to Shavuot. Meaning: The seed of resurrection is planted, initiating redemption and marking the first fulfillment of Firstfruits.
☁️ May 24, 2025 — 26th of Iyar — Day 144
Feast Alignment: Ascension Day (40th Day from Firstfruits) Event: Yeshua ascends to heaven. Meaning: Jesus, the restrainer (Greek gematria: 888), ascends and hands over the timeline. 1776 = 2 × 888 = full containment. The harpazo (rapture) occurs: ἁρπάζω = 989 = 888 + 101 (Michael the Archangel). This marks divine intervention and the final preparation of the Bride.

Hidden Mathematics of Time
From Shavuot (June 2) to Temple Descent (Nov 8) = 168 Days:
- 168 = 7 × 24: Seven perfect days, a full cosmic week
- 168 = 8 × 21:
- 8 = Shemini (transcendence)
- 21 = Ehyeh (אהיה) — “I Am”
From Resurrection (April 14) to Enthronement (Nov 16) = 216 Days:
- 216 = Total letters of the 72 Names of God
- 216 = Gevurah (גבורה): strength, judgment
And the Third Temple Descends:
- Not built by human hands
- Consecrated over 8 days
- Yahweh enters personally
The Year 2025 = 45² = 2025:
- Symbolizes the full restoration of Adam (MaH = 45)
Conclusion
Every appointed time, every day counted, every verse fulfilled—2025 is not just a year. It is the great convergence: of feasts and fulfillments, of Messiah ben Yosef and Messiah ben David, of concealment and revelation. It marks the passage from history to destiny, from echo to voice, from tabernacle to Temple.
As it is written: “In that day, Yahweh will be One and His Name One.” — Zechariah 14:9
The feasts are not over. They are about to begin again — fulfilled not in shadow, but in glory.
