Appointed Times

The Sanctuary Show Up for the Feast – It’s Just a Rehearsal

The Sanctuary is a feast-keeping ministry committed to proclaiming the feast of God. The 23d chapter of the Book of Leviticus gives us an account of the “Seven Great Feasts” of the Lord. They were a prophecy and foreshadowing of future events, part of which has been fulfilled, and part is yet to be. They are the “shadow of things to come,” of which Christ is the “body” or substance. Col. 2:16,17. They were “Holy Convocations” of the people. They were instituted by the Lord. The people had no voice in the matter. God promised that if the males went up at the “set time” to Jerusalem to keep these Feasts, He would look after their families. Those promises still hold fast today. Moses states in Exodus 12:14 “This is a day to remember. Each year, from generation to generation, you must celebrate it as a special festival to the LORD. This is a law for all time.”

There are 7 holy convocations commanded in holy scriptures and The Sanctuary Ministries show up for these feasts. The observance of the feast identifies those who belong to God, they identify His earthly children, His set-apart people. They are a sign. And they are appointed times that our King, the Messiah showed up for, and will show up for again for His Final Reign. This fellowship will be present at the appointed times of our King’s return. There are 3 times a year we are guaranteed to “gather” as a fellowship to honor these appointed times, they are the Feast of Passover, Feast of Pentecost, and Feast of Booths/Ingathering. This fellowship recognizes these times. Please see below the next time we show up for the appointed rehearsals.

You don’t want to miss this sacred time of fellowship, family, and fun.
