“These are the feasts of the LORD, holy convocations which you shall proclaim at their appointed times.” — Leviticus 23:4 (NKJV)
These are the appointed times (mo'adim) — מוֹעֲדִים — the days Leviticus 23 tells Israel to proclaim. The rows run through 31 December 2027. A date here is the daylight date.
The year now on the table is 5787 (tav-shin-peh-zayin) — תשפ״ז. The count is the traditional years from Adam, not a verse that dates the world. The last two letters spell fine gold (paz) — פָּז. Later readers say, “May it be a year of fine gold.” That is a wish read off the letters. It is not a prophecy. Jesus (Yeshua) kept these days. This table does not date his return to one of them.
This is God (Yahweh)’s calendar, not merely a Jewish one. The appointed times (Mo’adim) — Passover, Trumpets, the Day of Atonement, Tabernacles, and the others — were given by God in Leviticus 23 long before later forms of Judaism developed. Scripture presents them as the Creator’s own sacred rhythm.
The biblical year begins in the spring (around March/April) with the month of Passover, when the barley ripens in Israel. Months start with the new moon, and the feasts move in step with the agricultural cycle: the spring appointments focus on redemption and firstfruits; the fall appointments focus on ingathering and final atonement.
Yeshua (Jesus) and the early believers kept these same days. The Last Supper was a Passover meal, the Spirit was poured out at Pentecost (Shavuot), and the imagery surrounding the Second Coming aligns with the fall appointments. This calendar is not merely “Jewish tradition” — it is the timeline God gave for the story of redemption.
