Today's reading from Numbers 28-30
The Back to the Bible Chronological Reading Plan
Numbers 28 spoke about daily offerings v. 18; Sabbath Offerings v. 19-10; Monthly Offerings v. 11-15. Numbers 28 began to speak about the Feast Days which were the Sabbath (Lev 23.3);
The Passover and the Unleavened bread (Lev 23.4-8; Exo 12.4-20; Num 28.16-25; Deut 16.1-8),
First Fruits (Lev 23.9-14);
Feast of the Weeks (Lev 23.15-22; Num 28.26-31; Deut 16.9-12)
Feast of First Fruits
It is so easy to get bogged into the details of the offerings. We tend looking at the leaves of the trees of the forest instaed of the forest! We tend not to see the big picture.
We have to look beyond the ceremonial details to see that Christ is foreshadowed in the offerings and feast days of Leviticus. All of these feast days have prophetic significance. For example, Passover symbolizes Good Friday, the Feast of the Unleavened Bread symbolizes Jesus was buried, and the Feast of the Firstfruits symbolizes the Resurrection of Jesus, the First Fruit (1Cor. 15.23)
Numbers 29 speak about the Feast of the Trumpets (Lev 23.23-25; Num 29.1-6); the Day of Atonement (Lev 23.26-32; Lev 16.2-34; Num 29.7-11) and the Feast of the Tabernacles (Lev 23.33-43; Num 29.12-39; Deut. 16.13-17).

Numbers 30 spoke about keeping vows to the Lord. Don't make a vow unless you mean it. God will not take it lightly but hold you that vow. The vow should not be made rashly. The vow that Jephthah made to the Lord in Judges 11.30, that if God gave the Ammonites to Jephthah, whatever comes out of the door of his house to meet him when he returns in triumph he would sacrifice as a burnt offering. Well, when he came home, his daughter came out of the house and he had to do what he vowed. (Judges 11.39) Jesus said not to break your oaths (vows) when you make them (Matt 5.33-37). Let your yes be yes and your nos be nos.
