Leviticus 23:4-6, 9-11 - These are the Feasts of the LORD, even holy convocations, which you shall proclaim in their seasons. In the fourteenth day of the first month at evening is the LORD's Passover. And on the fifteenth day of the same month is the Feast of Unleavened Bread unto the LORD: seven days you must eat unleavened bread. - - - And the LORD spoke unto Moses, saying, Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, When you be come into the land which I give unto you, and shall reap the harvest thereof, then you shall bring a sheaf of the Firstfruits of your harvest unto the priest: and he shall wave the sheaf before the LORD, to be accepted for you: on the morrow after the Sabbath the priest shall wave it.
Jesus is literally identified with the fulfillment of the three Spring Feasts in the Gospel message:
1 Corinthians 15:1-4 - Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the Gospel - - - By which also ye are saved - - - For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures [the Passover Lamb], and that He was buried [Jesus became sin for us, and like leaven, He was disgarded], and that He rose again the third day [He was the Firstfruits from the grave] according to the Scriptures....
1 Corinthians 5:7-8 - Purge out therefore the old leaven, that ye may be a new lump, as ye are unleavened. For even Christ our Passover [The Lamb of God - Jn. 1:29, 36] is sacrificed for us: therefore let us keep the feast, not with old leaven [Leaven always pictures sin in the Bible], neither with the leaven of malice and wickedness; but with the unleavened bread [Jesus, the Bread of Life - Jn. 6:35 - was sinless - Heb. 4:15] of sincerity and truth.
1 Corinthians 15:20 - But now is Christ risen from the dead, and become the Firstfruits of them that slept.
2 Corinthians 5:21 - For (the Father) has made (Jesus) to be (leaven) for us, Who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in Him.

Seven weeks from the day following Christ's Resurrection, was the Feast of Pentecost fulfilled. The Church was born, consisting of Jews and Gentiles who, although they are saved by faith in Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior, still commit sin. It is described with the other Feasts of the Lord:
Leviticus 23:15-17 - And you shall count unto you from the morrow after the Sabbath, from the day that you brought the sheaf of the wave offering; seven Sabbaths shall be complete: even unto the morrow after the seventh Sabbath shall you number fifty days [Pentecost - the Feast of Fifty Days]; and you shall offer a new meat offering unto the LORD. You shall bring out of your habitations two wave loaves of two tenth deals: they shall be of fine flour; they shall be baked with leaven [the two loaves with leaven, represent Jews and Gentiles who still sin]....
Acts 2:1-3, 47 - And when the Day of Pentecost was fully come, they were all with one accord in one place. And suddenly there came a sound from heaven as of a rushing mighty wind, and it filled all the house where they were sitting. And there appeared unto them cloven tongues like as of fire, and it sat upon each of them. - - - And the Lord added to the Church daily such as should be saved.

YES, "GOOD FRIDAY" AND "EASTER" WERE LITERALLY FULFILLED.
YES, "PENTECOST" WAS LITERALLY FULFILLED.
THOSE WHO TRUST IN JESUS NOW,
WILL BE WITH JESUS, AND WILL NOT BE HERE FOR:
THE FIRST TWO FALL FEASTS TO BE LITERALLY FULFILLED,
WITH THE GATHERING OF ISRAEL (TRUMPETS),
THE SEVEN-YEAR TRIBULATION (ATONEMENT).
WE WILL RETURN WITH JESUS AT HIS SECOND COMING,
WHEN HE WILL RULE IN HIS MILLENNIAL KINGDOM (TABERNACLES)!
