WELCOME to the Biblical Festivals Site: at TheShiningLight!
In addition to articles on the Feast of
Trumpets and the Fast of Atonement, each day of the Feast of Tabernacles and Great Day will have its own page Besides
the individual Fall Festival pages are many written articles on all the Annual Feast Days! I am sure you will find
our articles quite unique and thought provoking.
The explanations of the Holy Days provided by the HWA Worldwide Church of God and the
explanations provided by her daughter Church Groups today; have been taken almost word for word out of Commentaries
written by unconverted, commandment breaking men. Men who never observed the very Holy Days they attempt to explain.
The material on the Festivals of God, provided at this site is absolutely unique to TheShiningLight Ministries. It
is solidly based on Holy Scripture and represents a totally NEW perspective on these Holy Festivals and Appointed Observations.
If you think that you have a good understanding of these things, take a good look. If you can produce any Bible based
corrections, Please contact me with your Scriptural reference and proof as to how I am wrong and I shall be very grateful.

Because of the uniqueness of this material, I encourage our guests to study through each
page of the site in it's established order. You will get the most out of this material in this manner. There
is much more on these and other subjects, including Audio Programs at our primary site: www.ashininglight.info
We invite our visitors to study through these papers
on the Spring and Fall Festivals of God. Take an inspiring and eye opening journey of discovery into the Holy Word of
God and His revealed plan for humanity. This site will begin with an overview of all the Holy Biblical Festivals ordained
by Almighty God for His people. On the following pages will be expositions of all the Festivals and Appointed Observances
of God.
When the Festival Season commences this autumn 2009, we will provide special material; including Audio
Programs, Special Music and more; to teach, inspire and encourage our brethren in the things of Almighty God.
We invite all of God's saints to come and rejoice with us, during the soon coming very special season
of the year. This is our Internet Festival Site for 2009.
When the sun sets on the 20th
of Sept 2009; and the first light of the New Crescent Moon appears over the earth, the Fall Festival season will begin, starting
with the Feast of Trumpets. An Audio Program, Special Music and more will be available for all who desire to
worship the Eternal God as He has commanded us. On this High Holy Day the Audio Program will concentrate on the Great
Hope of mankind; the Feast of Trumpets.
There will be a solemn service on the Fast of Atonement; which begins
at sunset on 29 Sept and ends on sunset 30 Sept.
On the full seven days of The Feast of Tabernacles which
begins at sunset ending 4 Oct, we will be presenting Audios and Music. Come join with us, rejoicing together at this
joyous Festival, looking forward to the Ingathering of All Nations into the Family of God!
The Eighth
Day; a new beginning for mankind, at peace and in harmony with God, caps this wonderful time.
In the late Spring, the Wave Offering is made and the early harvest in Judea is reaped. Even
so, our God reaps an early harvest of firstfruits in the late Spring. Beginning with the First of the firstfruits, Jesus
Christ; and continuing with the harvesting of His brethren. A small number are reaped from this earth, as the small
or early harvest is reaped in Judea.
Later, in the Autumn; the main harvest of the year takes place over
much of the earth. People who have spent months ploughing, sowing and tilling the earth must now begin the hard work
of bringing in the earth's bounty. A difficult, but truly joyous task of reaping the increase of the soil.
In like manner, our Father the Mighty King; also sends His labourers into the fields of the earth to bring in the bounteous
harvest of humanity. God reveals to us through His Festivals, the plans He has laid out for humanity. In
the autumn of the earth, humanity brings in their main harvest; and in the autumn of God's plan for physical humanity,
He brings His main harvest into the Family of God.
At this site, we shall explore these Festivals of God
and the marvellous truths they reveal!
These festivals are a time of true rejoicing, both over the harvest of the
soil and over the deliverance of humanity! What a Joy! What a blessing! How Great is our God, how infinite His wisdom
and His mercy.
