three feast seasons were known as Passover (Pesach), Pentecost (Shavuot), and Tabernacles (Succot). They portrayed and represented three major encounters with God in the lives of His covenant people. These encounters with God were for the purpose of providing His divine peace, power, and rest in their lives. Taken together, they represent seven steps in the believer’s walk with God. The Feast of Passover was the first of these feast seasons. Its purpose was to teach the Hebrews how to find God’s peace.
