What Are the Fall Feasts in the Bible?
The Bible outlines seven biblical feasts or “appointed times” in Leviticus 23. These are not manmade holidays—they are called “feasts of the LORD” (Leviticus 23:2), designed by God as prophetic markers of His redemptive plan.
While the Spring Feasts—Passover, Unleavened Bread, Firstfruits, and Pentecost—were fulfilled in Jesus’ first coming, the Fall Feasts are yet to be fulfilled. These final three holy days reveal what’s still to come: Jesus’ second coming, Israel’s national repentance, and the establishment of God’s Kingdom on earth.
1. 📯 Feast of Trumpets (Yom Teruah): The King Is Coming
Scripture: Leviticus 23:23–25, Joel 2:1, 1 Corinthians 15:52, Matthew 24:30–31
The Feast of Trumpets is a holy day of sounding the shofar (ram’s horn). It’s often referred to as Yom Teruah, meaning “Day of Blasting.” This feast prophetically points to a future day when a trumpet will sound, and Jesus the Messiah will return:
“At the last trumpet. For the trumpet will sound, and the dead will be raised imperishable.” — 1 Corinthians 15:52
Jesus Himself said:
“They will see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of heaven… and He will send His angels with a loud trumpet call.” — Matthew 24:30–31
This feast represents a wake-up call to the nations, a warning to prepare for judgment, and the glorious return of the King.
2. 🩸 Day of Atonement (Yom Kippur): A Day of Repentance and Restoration
Scripture: Leviticus 16, Leviticus 23:26–32, Zechariah 12:10, Romans 11:26–27, Hebrews 9:28
Yom Kippur is the holiest day on God’s calendar—a solemn day of repentance and cleansing. In ancient Israel, the high priest would enter the Holy of Holies once per year to make atonement for the sins of the people.
But this day also points to a future moment in prophecy:
“They will look on Me whom they have pierced, and mourn for Him.” — Zechariah 12:10
“And in this way all Israel will be saved.” — Romans 11:26
Yom Kippur foreshadows a day when the nation of Israel will recognize Yeshua (Jesus) as Messiah and turn to Him in repentance. It is also a picture of the final judgment, when justice and mercy will meet at the throne of God.
3. 🏕 Feast of Tabernacles (Sukkot): God Dwelling With Us—Again
Scripture: Leviticus 23:33–43, Zechariah 14:16–19, Revelation 21:3, John 1:14, Exodus 29:45
The Feast of Tabernacles (Sukkot) is a joyful celebration where Israel was commanded to dwell in booths to remember how God dwelled among them in the wilderness. It also points forward to a time when God will physically dwell with His people again in the Messianic Kingdom.
“Then everyone who survives… shall go up year after year to worship the King, the LORD of hosts, and to keep the Feast of Booths.” — Zechariah 14:16
“Behold, the dwelling place of God is with man. He will dwell with them.” — Revelation 21:3
Though God already dwells with believers through His Spirit (John 14:17), Sukkot points to the future reign of the Messiah on earth, when God’s presence will be fully manifest among His people.
Why Do the Fall Feasts Matter for Christians Today?
Understanding the Fall Feasts is not about legalism—it’s about prophetic insight.
Jesus fulfilled the Spring Feasts with perfect timing.
The Fall Feasts outline what’s still to come:
➤ The return of Christ
➤ The repentance and salvation of Israel
➤ The reign of God on earth
These feasts help us understand God’s timeline, prepare our hearts, and stay alert as the day draws near.
“The Lord GOD does nothing without revealing His secret to His servants the prophets.” — Amos 3:7
“From one New Moon to another and from one Sabbath to another, all flesh shall come to worship before Me.” — Isaiah 66:23
