Biblical Understanding based on the Record of Scripture
YHVH describes specific times when He commands His people to assemble to worship. These festival days represent elements of YHVH's plan of salvation for mankind and their meaning is important in understanding His purpose and will.
The Day of Atonement is not about the forgiveness of sin, but rather the covering of sin and the opening of the offer of salvation to all of mankind.
Most Churches of God teach the resurrection of firstfruits is pictured by the fall holy day of Trumpets. Others teach the firstfruit resurrection will happen on or around the spring holy day of Pentecost (Greek = count fifty), which in Hebrew is the "Feast of Weeks". All agree that these days are major parts of God's end time plan, that they are based on the yearly spring and fall harvest seasons, and that they are to be kept today with God's commandments and the other holy days.

Leviticus 23:34-36 NKJV
Speak to the children of Israel, saying: 'The fifteenth day of this seventh month shall be the Feast of Tabernacles for seven days to the LORD.
On the first day there shall be a holy convocation. You shall do no customary work on it.
For seven days you shall offer an offering made by fire to the LORD. On the eighth day you shall have a holy convocation, you shall offer an offering made by fire to the LORD. It is a sacred assembly, and you shall do no customary work on it.
