Festival Celebration Dates -- 2010 to 2014    

There is a direct connection between the Appointed Times & Seasons Calendar and the Jewish Festivals listed below.   Upon close examination of the dates below and the Calendar, you will discover the match between the time lines of Bible prophecy (in the books of Daniel and Revelation) and the Festivals starting at Purim and ending 3 1/2 years later at the Autumn Festival season. The Holy Days fluctuate every year, thereby making a match very difficult for anyone, whether scholar or student, to invent. 

The "times and the seasons" are directly tied to the end of the world.  We do not know the day or the hour of Messiah's final return and judgment of the world, or how long His return will be delayed.  Two thousand years ago the disciples of Jesus were told that "it is not for you to know the times or dates ["seasons"-K.J.V.] the Father has set by His own authority," Acts 1:7.  Nevertheless, the last generation upon whom the end of the world will come is promised an increase in knowledge of spiritual insights and an understanding of how events will transpire in the final "unsealing" (Daniel 12:4, 10).  The roadmap will be clearly presented, when the shadow of things to come will meet reality (Colossians 2:16-17).  For the people of God are not in darkness that events of the end should surprise them like a thief (1 Thessalonians 5:1-6).

Threats in the Middle East will continue to escalate so that one day conflict will erupt between Israel, the West and Iran (Daniel 8:1-9).  Once this occurs, we may be assured the beginning of sorrows has arrived and the appointed time of the end is upon us.  The door of destruction will be opened (never to be shut again), and the nations of the world will rise up against one another and additional clashes will lead to unspeakable holocaust.  Russia will attack and destroy at least three European countries (Daniel 7:5-8).  The horn of America's power will also be broken (Daniel 8:8).  Jesus said that famines, earthquakes, wars and rumors of wars will fill the news.  The population of Planet Earth will think the end of the world is upon us, but it is only the beginning of birth pains.  God's people must first suffer persecution, for they will be hated by "every nation" on the earth (Matthew 24:6-8). It will be said, "they caused all this sorrow."  During this time of trouble, when true faithfulness to the pure Word of God is no longer fashionable, many who were once faithful will turn away from the truth and will join in the hatred of the righteous followers of Messiah.  When the power of the holy people has finally been dispersed, God will rise up at the Year of Jubilee to save His people and gain the victory over evil. "To proclaim the acceptable year of the LORD, and the day of vengeance of our God; to comfort all that mourn," (Isaiah 61:2).

All Jewish holidays begin at sundown on the evening before the date shown.  On holidays marked "*" faithful observers do not work.
