There are seven Hebrew Feasts / Holy Days in a calendar year, and initially described in Levitus 23, that represent “God’s Appointments or Set Times” with man, when prophesied events will happen:
Exodus 9:5: And the Lord appointed a SET TIME, saying To morrow the Lord shall do this thing in the land.
In the Spring:
Passover
7 Days of Unleavened Bread
First Fruits
Harvest of Barley: “Harvest” of early Christians
In Early Summer:
Pentecost or Feast of Weeks
Harvest of Wheat: “Harvest” of The Gentiles
In the Fall:
Feast of Trumpets
Day of Atonement
7 Days of Tabernacles
Harvest of Fruit (Olives, Grapes): “Harvest” of The Jews

* Article: The Golden Plates and the Feast of Trumpets, by Lenet Hadley Read. Read it HERE.
* Book: The Seven Festivals of the Messiah, by Edward Chumney (MOST RECOMMENDED but pricey, even used)
