The emphasis (of the feasts) is on Gods giving. In Pentecost you have the comemoration of the giving of the Law. Int the feast of Booths you have the preservation of the lives of his people (during the years in the wilderness). Martin Luther said, We observe the Passover every day when we eat the sacrifice of Christ (Lords Supper) as Paul explains in 1 Corinthians 10. So daily we have Pentecost as we have the new law, that is the Spirit into our hearts through the ministry of the Word. Daily we celebrate the feast of Tabernacles, when we teach or experience that we are strangers in this world and sojourn in the tabernacles of our body, which last for but a short time. For we know that our citizenship, our dwelling is in Heaven, where we in the meantime by faith. We die daily until these tabernacles will be put away. Thus we rejoice before the Lord at these festivals, with the food of the pure Gospel, we offer up the firstfruits of our praise and thanksgiving ! - - from White Horse Inn program 1222 whitehorseinn.org/blog/category/white-horse-inn-blog/
