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.

Exodus 23:14-17 NKJV
Three times you shall keep a feast to Me in the year:
You shall keep the feast of Unleavened Bread (you shall eat unleavened bread seven days as I commanded you, at the time appointed in the month of Abib, for in it you came out of Egypt; none shall appear before Me empty);
and the Feast of Harvest, the firstfruits of your labors which you have sown in the field; and the Feast of Ingathering at the end of the year, when you have gathered in the fruit of your labors from the field.
Three times in the years all your males shall appear before Adon Yehovah.
