Autumn Feast Dates 2025
As a result of the confusion surrounding calendars, we have decided to seek out the calendar for ourselves. This time, we will not not to rely on others, as we did before. This is because every calendar we have sought to keep, somehow goes out of sync with the scriptures.
So our approach this Hebrew calendar year, was to not put out a calendar, but start with getting the structure right, so we can be on the right track moving forward. This structure is based on correctly getting the dates of the feasts (and how to calculate them).
But before we give you the dates, you first have to understand some premises on which we came up with the dates. Bear in mind that we are learning (this is an awakening) and we are not telling you we are experts, but we write posts on what we have learned so you can decide for yourself.
Note the following 10 points carefully:
- We do not follow the Gregorian calendar. Find out why.
- Neither do we follow a lunar calendar. Find out why.
- The 7-day week has been fixed from creation week. Learn more.
- The sun determines the 364-day year. Learn more.
- The moon determines the 12 months. Learn more.
- The moon’s year is different from the sun’s year (moon’s year is 354 days). Learn more.
- As it states in the book of Enoch, the sun’s year has 6 days greater than the moon’s year, plus the 2 equinoxes, plus the 2 solstices, making a sun’s year 10 days greater than a moon’s year. Learn more.
- The year ends on the day of the spring equinox and starts 10 days later, on the new moon of the first month. Find out more.
- Feasts are calculated based on the moon’s months. Find out more.
- We believe in a southern “hemisphere” time keeping as we believe the land is in the south and time was kept from the south. By the way, I put hemisphere in quotations because the earth is not a globe (the bible tells us plainly it is not a globe), but we use the world’s term (southern hemisphere) so you can understand. Watch this video to learn why.
The Difference Between Sabbath (H7676) and Sabbathon (H7677)
Now in figuring out the feasts of the Most High, we must understand the difference between two usages of the word “sabbath” in the bible. Not all sabbaths are the same! But both are called “sabbath” and “sabbaths” in the bible. A concordance and careful study will let you see the difference. Here are the fundamental differences:
- Sabbath/Shabbath – H7676 (a very holy day in which no work whatsoever is done, not even cooking: such as the 7th day sabbath and the day of atonement)
- Sabbathon/Shabbathon – H7677 (a holiday in which there is no servile work, but food can be cooked). These are the feasts of Leviticus 23, excluding the day of atonement).
Take special note of these two definitions and their meanings as they help us to better understand the feast days.
Day Of Trumpets or Feast Of Trumpets (Yom Teruah)
The day of trumpets, a memorial of blowing of trumpets, is on new moon day (new month) of the seventh month.
Lev 23:23 And YAHUAH spake unto Moses, saying,
Lev 23:24 Speak unto the children of Israel, saying, In the seventh month, in the first day of the month, shall ye have a sabbath (H7677), a memorial of blowing of trumpets, an holy convocation.
Lev 23:25 Ye shall do no servile work therein: but ye shall offer an offering made by fire unto YAHUAH.
Day of Trumpets: Sunday, March 30, 2025
Day Of Atonement (Yom Kippur)
The day of atonement is on the tenth day of the seventh month, but begins on the evening of the ninth day.
Lev 23:26 And YAHUAH spake unto Moses, saying,
Lev 23:27 Also on the tenth day of this seventh month there shall be a day of atonement: it shall be an holy convocation unto you; and ye shall afflict your souls, and offer an offering made by fire unto YAHUAH.
Lev 23:28 And ye shall do no work in that same day: for it is a day of atonement, to make an atonement for you before YAHUAH your Aluah.
Lev 23:29 For whatsoever soul it be that shall not be afflicted in that same day, he shall be cut off from among his people.
Lev 23:30 And whatsoever soul it be that doeth any work in that same day, the same soul will I destroy from among his people.
Lev 23:31 Ye shall do no manner of work: it shall be a statute for ever throughout your generations in all your dwellings.
Lev 23:32 It shall be unto you a sabbath (H7676) of rest, and ye shall afflict your souls: in the ninth day of the month at even, from even unto even, shall ye celebrate your sabbath (H7676).
This day is the one that gave most difficulty in the calculation of the feast dates as it says this: “It shall be unto you a sabbath (H7676) of rest.”
Now that word “sabbath” is the same word for the 7th day sabbath. So, initially, I thought the day of atonement must fall on a seventh day sabbath. But starting on the ninth day of the seventh month, means it will not fall on a seventh day sabbath.
Then I looked at this verse below, that summarizes the feasts from the first feast, the Passover to the last great day after Tabernacles:
Lev 23:37 These are the feasts of YAHUAH, which ye shall proclaim to be holy convocations, to offer an offering made by fire unto YAHUAH, a burnt offering, and a meat offering, a sacrifice, and drink offerings, every thing upon his day:
Lev 23:38 Beside the sabbaths (H7676) of YAHUAH, and beside your gifts, and beside all your vows, and beside all your freewill offerings, which ye give unto YAHUAH.
So beside/apart from the sabbaths means apart from the seventh day sabbaths, which is an indication that the day of atonement is not necessarily a seventh day sabbath.
But why did it say this?
“It shall be unto you a sabbath (H7676) of rest.”
That means no work whatsoever, just like the seventh day sabbath, and no cooking (also like the seventh day sabbath) as it is a 24-hour fast (afflicting your soul).
Day of Atonement: Evening of Monday, April 7 – Evening of Tuesday, April 8, 2025
Feast Of Tabernacles/ Feast Of Booths (Sukkoth)
Feast of Tabernacles is on the 15th day of the seventh month, which is a full moon. This is the feast in which we dwell in booths/huts or tents.
Lev 23:33 And YAHUAH spake unto Moses, saying,
Lev 23:34 Speak unto the children of Israel, saying, The fifteenth day of this seventh month shall be the feast of tabernacles for seven days unto YAHUAH.Lev 23:35 On the first day shall be an holy convocation: ye shall do no servile work therein.
Lev 23:36 Seven days ye shall offer an offering made by fire unto YAHUAH: on the eighth day shall be an holy convocation unto you; and ye shall offer an offering made by fire unto YAHUAH: it is a solemn assembly; and ye shall do no servile work therein.Lev 23:37 These are the feasts of YAHUAH, which ye shall proclaim to be holy convocations, to offer an offering made by fire unto YAHUAH, a burnt offering, and a meat offering, a sacrifice, and drink offerings, every thing upon his day:
Lev 23:38 Beside the sabbaths (H7676) of YAHUAH, and beside your gifts, and beside all your vows, and beside all your freewill offerings, which ye give unto YAHUAH.Lev 23:39 Also in the fifteenth day of the seventh month, when ye have gathered in the fruit of the land, ye shall keep a feast unto YAHUAH seven days: on the first day shall be a sabbath (H7677), and on the eighth day shall be a sabbath (H7677).
Lev 23:40 And ye shall take you on the first day the boughs of goodly trees, branches of palm trees, and the boughs of thick trees, and willows of the brook; and ye shall rejoice before YAHUAH your God seven days.Lev 23:41 And ye shall keep it a feast unto YAHUAH seven days in the year. It shall be a statute for ever in your generations: ye shall celebrate it in the seventh month.
Lev 23:42 Ye shall dwell in booths seven days; all that are Israelites born shall dwell in booths:
Lev 23:43 That your generations may know that I made the children of Israel to dwell in booths, when I brought them out of the land of Egypt: I am YAHUAH your Aluah.
Lev 23:44 And Moses declared unto the children of Israel the feasts of YAHUAH.
The first day is on the full moon of the seventh month. The first day is a sabbath (H7677). The feast itself lasts for seven days. However, the day after, an eighth day, is called the last great day. That day is also a sabbath (H7677).
First Day of Feast of Tabernacles: Sunday, April 13, 2025
Last Great Day: Sunday, April 20, 2025
