Holy Days Feasts Of The Bible
Holidays or Holy Days? Which of these two do we really need to celebrate according to Bible? Today, let us focus our full attention on this two very important questions and also embark on an eye-opening biblical journey to demonstrate—direct from Holy Scripture—that the Holy Days Feasts of the Bible are the only days that matter to our Almighty Father in heaven Yahweh and to the Savior of mankind, Yahshua the Messiah. We are also going to prove to you, based on Bible, that the holy days are still in effect and should be kept today and forever. As always, we ask the power of the Holy Spirit of Yahweh to give us a heavenly wisdom in discussing this very vital subject matter. We pray that you may have the eyes to see and that you may have the ears also to hear for this true and faithful Kingdom message.
The revelation of Yahweh’s holy days are nearly as old as the Bible itself, and were known and practiced by the early Cristian church for many years after the Savior’s ascension. But over the centuries, these Bible truths were somehow lost to millions of people. The ideas and customs of men mean nothing to Yahweh’s sight; we are to live by every word that proceeds out of the mouth of Yahweh (Matthew 4:4; Luke 4:4), that is, the Bible. The annual holy days were ordained by Yahweh, kept by the ancient Israelites, and continued by the early New Testament Christians. These seven annual “appointed feasts” picture Yahweh’s plan of salvation for man. Please take the time to look at these verses in the Bible: Leviticus 23; Zechariah 14:16; John 7:8-10; Acts 2:1; 12:3; 20:6, 16; 27:9; 1 Corinthians 5:8; 16:8. Notice, the holy days were ordained during the year before the sacrifices were given to Israel (Exodus 12 and 13). As an aside, note the Days of Unleavened Bread and His Sabbaths were given as part of the identifying sign between the Almighty Yahweh and His true people (Exodus 13:9; Ezekiel 20:12, 20).
Furthermore, the prophet Jeremiah shows that when Yahweh instituted the holy days—at the time He brought Israel out of Egypt—He did not institute burnt offerings or sacrifices. So the holy days were not tied together with the sacrifices until one year after coming out of Egypt. At that time, there was no temple built, no place to sacrifice in. Remember, what did not begin with the sacrifices did not end when the sacrifices came to an end. Did you grasp that? Jeremiah was inspired to write and he points out that Yahweh instructed Israel about the holy days at the time He brought them out of Egypt. He did not institute burnt offerings or sacrifices until later, period. Therefore, Yahweh’s holy days do not stand or fall with the sacrifices, but are commanded to be kept forever! The animal sacrifices and oblations, by contrast, were to last only until the ultimate sacrifice of Yahshua Messiah at Calvary, since they all pointed to Him in some way, shape, or form. Also please note and keep in mind first that many who would strongly oppose the keeping of Yahweh’s holy days mockingly label them as “Jewish,” but the Bible correctly informs us that these are the Feasts of Yahweh, not the “Jews.” (Leviticus 23:2-5; 44). The Scripture itself states the holy days feasts of the Bible were commanded by the Most High Eternal Yahweh to be observed forever (Leviticus 23:31; 41) throughout generations for all time!
Observe carefully that Yahshua the Messiah kept the Days of Unleavened Bread (Luke 2:41-42); the Feasts of Tabernacles (John 7:1-2, 14, 37); the Last Great Day, and others. The Savior of mankind Yahshua is our example in all things (John 13:15; 1 Peter 2:21; 1 John 2:6). As mentioned earlier, the New Testament Church or Assembly and the apostles kept the Passover and Days of Unleavened Bread (Acts 12:3; 20:6; 1 Corinthians 16:8); the Day of Atonement (Acts 27:9); the Feast of Tabernacles (Acts 18:21). The apostle Paul told the Colossians not to let anyone condemn them for observing the days that Yahweh made holy (Colossians 2:16-17). Yahweh warns mankind specifically and repeatedly through the prophet Jeremiah to “Learn not the way of the heathen” (Jeremiah 10:2). In regards to the man-made holidays and traditions of men Yahshua the Messiah warned, “But in vain they do worship Me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men” (Matthew 15:9; Mark 7:7), and, He also asks the religious, “Why you call Me, Master, Master,” and “do not do the things which I say?” (Luke 6:46). Here He addresses the hypocrites and the self-righteous people that time. Make no mistake that His question and words are also applicable to all of us today!
Once again, all one needs to do is read Yahweh’s Word, the Bible, and do what it says. Yahweh pronounces blessings for those who keep His Sabbath, but curses for those who will not hearken to Him. Read all of Leviticus 26 and Deuteronomy 5 , the “blessings and cursings” chapters. Again, the Holy Days are feasts of Yahweh, not the Jews (Leviticus 23:2, 4). They are commanded to be observed forever (Leviticus 23:31; 41). Note how many times Yahweh says, “These are My feasts” or “The feasts of the Master (Leviticus 23:2, 4, 37, 44). They are to be kept forever (Exodus 12:24; 13:10; Leviticus 16:29; 34; 23:31, 41). Yahweh’s Sabbaths, including the high or annual Sabbaths, are part of the identifying sign between Yahweh and His people (Exodus 13:9; 31:13; Ezekiel 20:12, 20). Yahshua Messiah observed the Passover and the Days of Unleavened Bread (Luke 2:41, 42), the Feast of Tabernacles, and the Last Great Day (John 7:1-2, 14, 37). Putting all these things together, we see that all who would be in the first resurrection had better learn to observe Yahweh’s Sabbath and holy days now, because they are ordained of Yahweh and are to be kept forever (Leviticus 23:21, 31, 41; Exodus 12:14-15). The Feast of Tabernacles will be observed during the Millennium by everyone—both Jew and Gentile (Zechariah 14:16). So all who would be in Yahweh’s Kingdom had better learn to observe them now!
In closing, the Holy Days Feasts of the Bible are built around the spring and fall harvest seasons in Israel and are a type of Yahweh’s plan of salvation for all mankind. All seven Holy Days (Passover, Days of Unleavened Bread, Pentecost, Feast of Trumpets, Day of Atonement, The Feast of Tabernacles, The Eighth Day) are mentioned in Bible in Leviticus 23. These sacred days were kept in the past by Yahweh’s people (Leviticus 23:4), will be kept in the future (Zechariah 14:16, 19), and should be observed by the genuine Christians today (Matthew 5:4). Because mankind or humanity has, as a whole, neglected these Holy Days, it has lost the Bible knowledge of what Yahweh has in store for mankind. Putting all these things together, we see that all who would be in the first resurrection had better learn to observe Yahweh’s Sabbath and Holy Days now, because they are ordained of the Almighty Father in heaven Yahweh and are to be kept forever (Leviticus 23:21, 31, 41; Exodus 12:14-15). Our faithful ministry has been discussing and sharing to people the Holy Days, not holidays, as the genuine sacred days Yahweh has ordained, approved of, and to be celebrated by the human race, especially by His people. Learn the truth now and do not be deceived into celebrating the man-made and pagan holidays (Christmas, Easter, Lent, Thanksgiving, Sunday Sabbath, New Year’s, Valentine’s, Halloween, etc.) that you have been taught or have been led to believe to be sacredly holy; they are not! It’s high time that you learn and understand today Bible truths, as it will set you free from the lies and deception of Satan the devil and his demon cohorts on the earth and the spiritual realm! We hope that you’re enlightened by this true and faithful Kingdom message. Love and peace to all our worldwide readers. May Yahweh protect you and bless you, especially to our brethren. We humbly pray these things in the name of our Master and coming King Yahshua the Messiah, Amen. Halleluyah, Shalom!
