Messiah in the Feast of Israel
5 Ways the Feasts of Israel Apply to You
Are you interested in the Old Testaments' customs, traditions, and feasts, but find them a bit confusing and un-relatable? Are you less likely to exclaim, "That applies to me" while reading about the Old Testament's traditions than the New Testament's parables? Did you know that the ancient feasts of the Bible actually symbolize God's redemptive program through Jesus Christ?
Some people ask, "Why should Christians know about ancient Jewish customs?" Old Testament holy days, such as the Feasts of Israel, provide a rich illustration and prophetic reflection of Jesus Christ. In fact, God called these special days his appointed feasts for all times, establishing them as memorials for his mighty works.
Uncover the connection between the Feasts of Israel and Jesus Christ in Sam Nadler's book Messiah in the Feasts of Israel .
Did You Know that Jesus Celebrated the Feasts of Israel?
Jesus and his disciples participated in a Passover feast, commonly known to Christians today as the Last Supper. In fact, Jesus recognized the importance of a number of feasts' customs throughout the New Testament. For example, Jesus waited until the seventh day of Sukkot, the greatest day, during the water pouring ceremony, to reveal that those who come to him will find "a living water." Jesus also intentionally exclaimed, "I am the Light of the world," as he stood near the 75-foot candlesticks erected for Sukkot.

"Dr. Sam Nadler is amazing! I was suddenly swept away by the magnificent symbolism and vibrant truth the feasts portray. His perspective as a Jewish believer brought up in a traditional home made the Old Testament Feasts come alive as never before. His insight and attention to detail is phenomenal. Who could have guessed it was all about Jesus Christ? Compelling, enlightening and powerful teaching!"-Dave Weeden, Producer/Director of The King Is Coming telecast.
"Sam Nadler is one of today's most solid Messianic Jewish teachers. He brings fascinating insights without losing sight of major scriptural truths. He is doctrinally sound and yet calls for Christians to look afresh for new discoveries in the Word. And he demonstrates with undeniable clarity how the Feasts and Holy Days of Israel are of importance to the Church today, indeed, how they are ultimately witnesses to Yeshua the Messiah. If you are looking for practical, edifying, and enlightened teaching on this important topic, look no further."
