3 years ago By Guest Columnist

I write this sitting at a cafe in front of the Italian Parliament, waiting for the president to resign.

Taking a look at the spring feasts

3 years ago By Dr. Jane Norris

This week we will look at the spring feasts, called this because of when they fall on the Jewish lunar calendar. Michael Norton in his book, “Unlocking the Secrets of the Feasts,” said, “The spring feasts picture the events surrounding Jesus Christ’s first coming.” (page 15) He goes on to say that the scripture in Leviticus chapter 23 verses 1-2 tells us that the feasts are God’s feasts, not Israel’s.
