Paul, in Col. 2:16-17 says ...Therefore no one is to act as your judge in regard to food or drink or in respect to a festival or a new moon or a Sabbath day— things which are a mere shadow of what is to come; but the substance belongs to Christ.   Paul is teaching us that the Sabbath, the laws of Torah (the first five books of the Bible), the rituals and practices, were all given to also be associated with He who was coming - Jesus.  Jesus is the shadow, He is the substance of the shadow.  Jesus is the shadow over the mo'edeem - the appointed times.   This course will be on the spring mo'edeem: Passover (Paysock), Unleavened Bread (Hag HaMohtzee), First Fruits (Bikkereem), and Pentecost (Shavuot).  We will also spend one class on the Biblical Sabbath the way the disciples and Jesus practiced it in the 1st century (Lke 4:16)  We will study these appointed times and what God commanded in each of them.  We will also study how they were practiced in Jesus' day and how Jesus is a SHADOW of these feasts.  In other words, how do we see Jesus in these feasts.   What others are saying ... "Rev. Ferret's classes are over the top! His knowledge and understanding of Biblical culture and tradition, along with his ability to 'dissect' ancient languages makes for "Wow" sessions." "Think you know your Bible pretty well? I did too, until I began taking Rev Ferret’s classes on the history, culture, languages, archeology, and geography of Bible lands.  It was then that these sacred texts, known to us as the Bible, took on much deeper meaning than I’d ever realized."   "I am so excited about the classes that Rev. John Ferret has and continues to teach. I personally have learned so much. It has changed my life in that I have a much better perspective of what it means to be a disciple of Jesus."   REGISTRATION REQUIRED - this class is provided at no cost - only one registration per person unless you are registering as a husband and wife or if one is registering for a family.  A class book is available for optional purchase.
