The Beauty of Jesus Revealed in the Feasts by Daniel Krebs & Darlene Schacht Photo Credit |
I, not only had the privilege and honor, but also the blessing of proofreading and editing this book before it came out just a few short days ago, and I found the parallels between the Biblical feasts and the fulfillment of them in Christ Jesus absolutely fascinating!
I appreciate the fact, too, that Pastor Krebs and Mrs. Schacht addressed the subject matter from a Biblical point of view, rather than what's often popular within the modern church of our day. This book is refreshing and will take you back to the foundations of our faith in a clear and concise way.
Beginning November 20, 2017, co-author, Darlene Schacht of Time-Warp Wife will be hosting a study over The Beauty of Jesus Revealed in the Feasts. For anyone who orders the book before November 10th, Mrs. Schacht is offering a free downloadable copy of the accompanying study guide! For details click HERE.

To understand the holy days is to appreciate and recognize the heart of God. In The Beauty of Jesus Revealed in the Feasts, we take an in-depth look at the holy feasts set forth by the Lord Himself. You might be learning all of this for the first time, or you may already know how the life of Jesus and future world events are clearly expressed in the feasts. In any case, there are new things to learn each time we open God’s Word.
Here’s a brief overview of the 7 feasts that we’ll be discussing:
- Passover – Jesus’ sacrifice on the cross
- Feast of Unleavened bread – Jesus’ death and burial
- Feast of First Fruits – Jesus’ resurrection
- Feast of Weeks – The birth of the church
- The Feast of Trumpets – The rapture of the church
- The Day of Atonement – The tribulation period
- The Feast of Tabernacles – The physical return and reign of Jesus on the earth
When we dive deeper into studying these holy days, we discover some incredible truths that have been ingrained in the traditions of these special ceremonies that clearly point to the beauty of the Messiah.
FYI, there’s nothing girly about this book. Pastor Dan and I ensured that it would be a great study for both men and women alike. So if you have a husband you want to study with or a small group from church–that’s perfect! I got to thinking that it would also be a great study for homeschooling at the high school level. And of course, it’s perfect for personal study as well. We dig deep into scripture, but it’s easy to follow.
7-Week Study
Here’s the thing… our 7-week study is going to bring us right into the Christmas season. I wasn’t sure what to do about that. Would I wait until the new year, after you’ve waited so long already? Or, should we dig in before Christmas, take a break, and resume the study in January? After much thought and prayer, I’ve decided that God gave me this completion date for a reason, so I’m going to trust Him and start our study in just a couple of weeks.
So, we’ll begin on November 20th.
Passover – November 20th
Unleavened Bread – November 27th
First Fruits – December 4th
Feast of Weeks – December 11th
Feast of Trumpets – December 18th
Day of Atonement – January 2nd
Feast of Tabernacles – January 8th
Unleavened Bread – November 27th
First Fruits – December 4th
Feast of Weeks – December 11th
Feast of Trumpets – December 18th
Day of Atonement – January 2nd
Feast of Tabernacles – January 8th

Until next time...
Sounds like a wonderful course of study. We always celebrated the advent growing up in a religious Swedish household.
ReplyDeleteIt is an amazing study, Kim! We celebrate Advent, too, and, once...a long time ago when the older children were small...we did a "Christmas Around the World" study and one of the countries that we studied was Sweden. I remember making the St. Lucia buns. I would love to hear more about your growing up years and some of your family's Christmas traditions. Thanks for dropping in and commenting! <3
ReplyDeleteOur church group is going to do this study. I am SO excited!!!
ReplyDeleteThat is awesome! I’m sure that you will be quite blessed. It is a fascinating study! Enjoy!
