The Appointed Times of the LORD are the original framework that God gave to the nation of Israel to remind them of who they are in light of who God is. The Appointed Times are multifaceted as they accomplish a variety of goals:
-
Appointed Times provide weekly and yearly opportunities to set aside undistracted time to worship the living God.
-
Appointed Times call to remembrance what God has done in the past.
-
Appointed Times provide an invitation to humanity to give back to God for the abundance that the Creator God gives to us.
-
Appointed Times point to the life of the Messiah.
-
Appointed Times are prophetic indicators of what God has done, is doing, and will do in the future.
