If we see 1 Corinthians as a NT example of The Feast Days:
The 10th Day of the 1st Month take a Lamb and inspect it until the 14th at Evening and sacrifice it as The Passover Lamb. This inspection period is 5 days. Paul writes 5 times to remove 'puffed up' problems from the Church.
Then in Ch 11, he writes about the Communion Service, which is the NT Passover observance
.In Ch 12 Paul writes about The Gifts of The Spirit, which is an instruction about Pentecost in The NT Church.
Later in Ch 12, we read about The Body, which is an instruction about The Day of Trumpets from a NT view.
In Ch 13 we read about Love which is an instruction of The Day of Atonement, and love is not puffed up.
(Ch 14 instructs The Church about tongues, interpretation, and prophecy, where God is speaking to The Church about ongoing behavior.)
Ch 15 then writes about The Resurrection which is a commentary on The Feast of Tabernacles.
Another way to look at Passover in 1 Corinthians is to see it as an inspection of the Passover Lamb.
This Lamb is Jesus first of all, but we might also see The Church as The Body of Christ and as The Body of The Lamb.This Lamb was to be chosen on the 10th Day of The Month and taken into The House of the family who would slay it and eat it as their Passover Meal. The Lamb was inspected during these five days. From the 10th through the 14th
In 1 Corinthians, we note that there are 5 times where Paul mentions removing "Puffed Up" from the Church Body.
Then in Ch. 11 Paul instructs The Church on taking Communion. Paul thus connects the ritual in Moses' Law with what The Church should do as in 1 Corinthians.Jesus was also inspected as we read in John 12:12. HE rode into Jerusalem from Bethany five days before The Feast. Jesus was accepted, then tried in several ways. HE was found without fault and was sacrificed on the 14th day on Passover as The Lamb God has chosen for His House.
in 1Cor 5:7 Paul writes Christ is our Passover.As part of The Communion instruction
in 1 Cor 11, Paul warns The Church against taking Communion in an 'unworthy manner.' When The Church does not observe The Body is eaten in sincerity and in truth, many are sick and die.
