Is it possible to know what the future holds for us? The Creator of
mankind does have a plan for us, and He reveals it to us through an
annual cycle of festivals described in the Scriptures. It is an astounding
plan offering an incredible future to every man, woman, and child who
has ever lived. This booklet will help you understand the incredible
truth about what lies ahead for all humanity.
Every nation observes patriotic holidays. These special days are reminders
of important events in a country's history. They provide continuity
between a nation's past and the present.
Usually citizens can understand and explain at least some of the significance
of these celebrations. Yet, paradoxically, those same citizens seldom
understand much about the days on which they worship and honor God.
The nonbiblical roots of these religious practices are quietly ignored
in their celebration.
As a result, people usually assume that popular observances such as
Easter and Christmas serve as true representations of the themes of
the Bible. Yet the Bible nowhere commands their observance, nor does
the Bible record their observance by the early New Testament Church.
However, God does command other, rarely noticed, festivals.
Some people realize that the Bible mentions specific days for religious
celebration. But only a few can name any of them or explain their significance.
Those aware of these festivals generally believe they were meant only
for ancient Israel and ceased after Jesus Christ's crucifixion. They
assume these days simply pointed toward Christ, and they think that,
since He lived on earth 2,000 years ago, their importance has long since
passed. Most people consider these biblical festivals as nothing more
than relics of history with no relevance to the modern world.
