The fall appointed times are drawing near, and as we prepare our homes and calendars for Yom Teruah, Yom Kippur, and Sukkot, we should also allow these days to call our hearts back to the holiness, mercy, faithfulness, and covenant purposes of YHWH.
“These are the designated times of ADONAI, the holy convocations you are to proclaim at their designated times.” Leviticus 23:4
Yom Teruah reminds us to pay attention and remember that we are a people called to listen for the voice of our King, while Yom Kippur brings us into a season of humility, repentance, and sober examination before YHWH, and Sukkot turns that humility into rejoicing as we remember His provision, His presence, and His faithfulness toward His people.
There is a beautiful order in these appointed times, because they move us from awakening, to repentance, to rejoicing, reminding us that biblical faith is never merely intellectual but is meant to shape the way we worship, repent, remember, obey, and live.
These feasts also point us toward Yeshua, our faithful High Priest, through whom we draw near to the Father with confidence, not because of our own righteousness, but because of the mercy and redemption YHWH has provided.
The prophets also cause us to look forward, because Zechariah speaks of a coming day when the nations will go up to worship the King, YHWH-Tzva’ot, and celebrate Sukkot, showing us that these appointed times are woven into the larger story of redemption and the coming reign of Messiah.
As the fall feasts approach, may we do more than prepare meals, decorations, and gatherings, and may we instead ask YHWH to search us, correct us, teach us His ways, and prepare us to walk before Him with humility, obedience, gratitude, and joy.
“Teach me your way, ADONAI; I will walk in your truth. Make me wholeheartedly committed to fearing your name.” Psalm 86:11
