Then, those who believe will forever be with the Lord, first on earth for1,000 years and then in the New Jerusalem forever.

Excellent
This is an excellent book.I am now 71 years old and have been teaching about Jesus and His fulfillment of the Feast formore than 20 years now. I did not have the resources that the writer did, as I am not acquaintedwith any Jewish Rabbi's, other than Jonathan Cahn who wrote "The Harbinger", also an excellent book.There are lots of books written on the Feasts of Israel, but this is the best one I have found.Lots of the Feast Books are "Replacement Theology" oriented which I totally disagree with. The Christian Church has NOT replaced Israel although most Israelites have no idea who they are. They seem to believe that the People of Israel no longer exist. There are 12 tribes and today we can only identify two of them. Judah is one and Levi the priestly tribe along with a portion of thetribe of Benjamin.This book is spot on about when Jesus was crucified and how Jesus fulfilled the first three feast(literally "set times".) Then the appearance of the Holy Spirit on Pentecost fulfilled the 4th Feast.It only stands to reason that the second coming of the Lord will fulfill the final 3 feast which are "Harvest Feast". Probably Jesus will return on the Feast of Trumpets. It also would appear that Jesus was born on the Feast of Trumpets as there are two trumpets. One for His first coming and the second trumpet for His second coming to earth. It is obvious that Jesus was not born inDecember when the weather is cold in Israel. We are told the shepherds were in the fields tending their flocks and they do not do this in the cold winter months.I certainly recommend this book. It is well written and very informative.One thing the author did not cover and I was a bit disappointed is the fact that Jesus was notcrucified on Friday. There is no way to get three days and three nights from Friday afternoon toSunday morning. This error made by the church of Rome misinterprets the Sabbath that referencedin the gospels. Saturday is not the only sabbath. When the Feast of Unleavend Bread begins theevening of the Passover is called a "High Sabbath", and there are others as well. For those notunderstanding this very crucial bit of information will have difficulty in their faith as I did because you simply can't get 3 days and 3 nights from Friday afternoon to Sunday Morning.However you understand the feast you realize that the order of succession of the feast would require Jesus to be crucified that exact year that He was crucified. Any other year and the Feast would not have worked out as they did.Overall an excellent book.

"The Feasts are like going to the Theater and having a program on your lap."
I keep purchasing this book to give away, because I learned so much that strengthened my faith. You see, there are 7 Feasts of the Lord that the Lord told Israel to celebrate every year. And they did, for 2000 years before Christ came as a baby. "I learned that, "the feasts are like going to the theater and having the program on your lap so you know what's going on" (My paraphrase of Norton). Each Feast reveals part of God's plan to save us. The 4 Spring Feasts were all fulfilled by Jesus' death (Passover), Burial (Loaves), Resurrection, (First Fruits), and Jesus' sending of the Holy Spirit (Pentecost). Each of those 4 physical, historical, events happened to Jesus on the very day and hour that the priests were leading the Celebration for that year. The 3 Fall feasts have not been fulfilled. But we know that each of those 3 feasts will be fulfilled by Jesus on the very day that was planned from the beginning of time. We know this because Hebrews 13:8 says, "Jesus is the same yesterday, today and forever." I've been a believer for 60 years, and Unlocking the Secrets of the Feasts, by Norton, made Prophetic Scripture come alive for me. God wants us to know that His Son will return. We just don't know what year.

Filled with amazing and relevant information
I like the way the author uses sound scriptural references and illustrations of relevant Jewish traditions. We as believers in Jesus as Messiah need to take the "Americanization" out of our beliefs and turn to the understanding of scripture as it was written. The return of Jesus could be very soon and The Barna Research Group reported that very few people today exhibit true Biblical Christianity.This is a must read for believers......

MY FAVORITED PROPHECY BOOK!
I decided it is high time I left a FIVE STAR REVIEW for one of my all time favorite books! I started to leave a review before, but the one at the top was so good, I wanted to leave it at the top. It starts by saying, "By Arnold G. Barkeron "This is an excellent book.I am now 71 years old and have been teaching about Jesus and His fulfillment of the Feasts for more than 20 years now." ...... So, I think you will appreciate what that reviewer had to share!I also love to study God's Word and I majored in Biblical Studies at John Brown University.Michael Norten has written my favorite book on Prophecy! I refer back to it often and love sharing from it with othersBoth the Biblical research and historical insights Michael Norten shares shine so much light on the how very Prophetical the Feasts of the Lordare. This book gives so much encouragement for the times we are living in. Please read it and share your favorite parts in a review!"Encourage each other all the more as you see the day approaching."

Very informative!
Loved this book! I stopped celebrating Christmas and Easter 6 years ago due to its pagan background. Since then I have tried reading about the biblical feasts and how I can apply them to my life. This book was full of information and was so easy to understand.

Waking up with the Lord to His Calendar
It is high time Believers, particularly Gentiles and the complacent church educate themselves about the Jewish Feasts and God’s Calendar as it relates to the wonderful coming End of the Church Age and impending Rapture of His bride. I am using this book as a Bible study as well as to gain further insight about the Feasts. How I wished we had been taught about this many, many years ago. We have and are missing out on so much rich history and the ways of God and how He works. I really feel like Holy Spirit pucker this book out just for me. It’s a fabulous read.
