Hey guys, I'm Chassidy, and you're listening to the ancient conspiracies podcast, where we connect the origins of some of the most popular conspiracy theories to biblical history.

Well, welcome back to the podcast. Today, we're venturing away from our timeline, what I like to call the crash course of esoteric biblical history to discuss the spring feasts of Israel.

And if you've been following my podcast, we did this same thing in fall.

And it isn't because I'm promoting Judaism or believe that it's in any way superior to Christianity.

First and foremost, Jesus was himself a Jew, and he observed these feasts. He didn't do away

with them, nor did he tell us that we were absolved from them. And there's a reason for this.

These feasts were commanded by God for his followers, and they weren't restricted only to the Jews.

I think that's a key piece of confusion

that's often circulated. They're called the feasts of Israel because at the time the tribes of

Israel were the only people following God while everyone else in the world was pagan. Therefore,

they were his chosen people and as a part of that covenant, he gave them specific knowledge and commanded them to observe certain dates on the calendar for a very specific reason.

Now, we touched on this reason in fall, and you're welcome to go back and listen to that in-depth explanation.

Also, if you're a member of my private blog, I have a blog

detailing this as well with my reference material. But the reason that these feasts were so

important is because they were divine appointments set by God, instructing his people to be at the

right place, at the right time, on a future date when he would return.

And until the fulfillment of these feasts came to pass, they were essentially commanded to practice them yearly in preparation, like a dress rehearsal.

So there are seven major feasts that God commanded his people to observe. Three in the spring, three in the fall,

and then Pentecost, which connects the two sets. Now, it's widely believed that Christ fulfilled

the spring feast when he came the first time, and he will fulfill the fall feast when he returns

again. And we discussed these fall feasts in episodes three, four, and five.

If you haven't heard them, I highly encourage you to go back and listen to the incredible history
