The Season of the “High Holy Days”

Rosh  Hashana and Yom Kippur are two of the most important biblically based Hebraic festivals (next to Passover) on the Jewish calendar.  This season is commonly known as the High Holy days, which take place in the season of Fall each year.  The word festival in Hebrew, is hag or moed, which means a set time or appointed time.  An appointed festival or feast is a holy convocation or sacred assembly, which in Hebrew means mikrah, a rehearsal or a recital.  Therefore, for Jews and Gentiles alike, all of the biblical festivals that have been appointed by God, now serve as rehearsals for the purpose of prophetically retelling the story of God’s salvation plan about the Messiah (Jesus Christ) from beginning to end.  Col. 2:16-17,  Lev. 23:24,  Num. 29:1

Like every holiday, commemorating these festivals in whatever meaningful way we can, will help to keep us, as believers (Jew & Gentile), remain mindful, spiritually sober and alert as to who we are in Christ Jesus, our purpose on the earth and the hope in our future kingdom and returning King.  The following poetic storyboard will introduce you to the profound wonder of this most sacred season.
