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.

Ephesians 2:12,13 NLT
In those days you (we) were living apart from Christ. You were excluded from citizenship among the people of Israel, and you did not know the covenant promises God made to them. You (we) lived in this world without God and without hope.
But now you have been united with Christ Jesus. Once you were far away from God but now you have been brought near to Him through the blood of Christ.
