Should We Still Keep the Feasts

[just-me]

You are way off base on your teaching on the day of atonement. They follow an order of events and the day of atonement did not come before passover. I did read it in your book, but a book does not respond back like a discussion forum. I suggest you study them again, first explain the feasts how they were.
1. Passover
2. Unleavened bread
3. Firstfruits
4. Pentecost
5. Trumpets
6. Day of Atonement
7. Feast of Tabernacles

Best to explain them first before explaining what they mean. Explain the type first before explaining anti-type.

Show me where I said Atonement is before Passover (not being a feast) that day being the first day of the feast of unleavened bread. You missed the feast of weeks that envelop firstfruits and Pentecost. Show me the scripture where it says trumpets and atonement are feasts. Both trumpets and atonement are 14 days before the feast of tabernacles in the 7th month comparable to the 14th day of the 1st month. Then it would be good to relate the 10th day of Nisan to the 10th day of Tishri and see the relationship between Passover and atonement. Of course if you believe differently, then atonement has nothing to do with Passover or the crucifixion.

Both Passover and the crucifixion are the same day in the 1st month as the first day of the feast of Tabernacles in the 7th month

1. Passover 15th of Nisan (the 15th begins at sundown on the 14th)
2. Unleavened bread (begins on the 15th of Nisan)
3. Firstfruits (7 weeks long=the feast of weeks) Missed in the list (smile)
4. Pentecost (The Sabbath day ending the 7 weeks of the feast of weeks)
5. Trumpets (Begins the 1st day of Tishri and ends on the 9th)
6. Day of Atonement (begins on the 10th of Tishri and ends on the 14th... 5 days long)
7. Feast of Tabernacles (begins on the 15th of Tishri and lasts for 7 days same as the feast of unleavened bread in Nisan)
2. is a feast
7. is a feast
1, 3, 4, 5, and 6 are not feasts but are incorporated in the 3 feasts ordained of God

Jesus was killed on the 14th of Nisan and buried on the 15th which is Passover. The Hebrew day begins at sundown.
In comparison (for the purpose of remembrance), the last day of atonement in the 7th month is also the day Christ died in the first month. The Passover in Exodus 12 was killed the same day Christ died.
Yes, they are different years and different months, but the days correlate for the reason God gave them.

Leviticus 23:37 (KJV)
[SUP]37 [/SUP]These are the feasts of the Lord, which ye shall proclaim to be holy convocations, to offer an offering made by fire unto the Lord, a burnt offering, and a meat offering, a sacrifice, and drink offerings, every thing upon his day:


Leviticus 23:24
[SUP]24 [/SUP]Speak unto the children of Israel, saying, In the seventh month, in the first day of the month, shall ye have a sabbath, a memorial of blowing of trumpets, an holy convocation.


[SUP]Leviticus 23:27
27 [/SUP]Also on the tenth day of this seventh month there shall be a day of atonement: it shall be an holy convocation unto you; and ye shall afflict your souls, and offer an offering made by fire unto the Lord.



The meaning of the word feast is sacred season, are you saying the trumpets and day of atonement were not sacred seasons?

Yes. Atonement and the blowing of trumpets are proclamations of the feasts but not he feast themselves. Convocation is communication or a proclamation of the feasts in short, where feasts are a celebration. Trumpets are the call to gather, and atonement is the reason given for the call to gather for the feast of Tabernacles in this case.

Convocation=4744 miqra' mik-raw' from 7121; something called out, i.e. a public meeting (the act, the persons, or the place); also a rehearsal:--assembly, calling, convocation, reading.

Exodus 12:14 And this day shall be unto you for a memorial; and ye shall keep it a feast (2282) to the LORD throughout your generations; ye shall keep it a feast (2287) by an ordinance for ever.

Feast=2282 chag khag or chag {khawg}; from 2287; a festival, or a victim therefor:--(solemn) feast (day), sacrifice, solemnity.
Feast=2287 chagag khaw-gag' a primitive root (Compare 2283, 2328); properly, to move in a circle, i.e. (specifically) to march in a sacred procession, to observe a festival; by implication, to be giddy:--celebrate, dance, (keep, hold) a (solemn) feast (holiday), reel to and fro.

Sorry. To me it seemed evident that you were going to argue. When I detect that I don't put a whole lot of time in to answer with distinction. Please forgive me for a possible wrong assumption of your motives. I have found if I have fervent desire to understand it takes time but eventually I get it. The study of the feasts was months almost a year every day. At first I misunderstand a lot and thought I had gotten it, and then read something else and saw I was wrong. So I had to reconnoiter over ad over. I looked all over the internet to find some reality and I couldn't. So I chucked that and went strictly by the Bible. It was the same way when I was trying to find out the truth about Nadab and Abihu and why they were smoked, taking only information out of the Bible previous to their death rather than info after their death. It took months. Desire to know. Big time

Here is a repeat of the list of the feasts: We need to be aware that they are biblically commanded while our celebrations of Christmas and Easter are not. They are to show biblical truths, and to show the plan that God has for us.The first three are three spring feasts, one summer one, and the last three are fall feasts. What was prophesied by the first four feasts have happened, the three fall feasts prophecy what is still to happen.

Passover speaks of redemption. The blood of the lamb is shed for our sins.Christ died on the day this feast was celebrated.

Feast of Unleavened Bread is symbolic of absence of sin and absence of decay and corruption. Christ’s body was put in the tomb and did not decay on the day this was celebrated.

First Fruits. The first of anything always belongs to the Lord.Christ was the first man resurrected.Christ was put on the cross on this day.

Pentecost is the 50[SUP]th[/SUP] day after Passover.On the day of this celebration the Holy Spirit was given.

Rosh Hashanah, or Jewish New Year, or the Feast of Trumpets is the first of the fall feasts. A ram’s horn is to be blown, a call to war, a battle cry, a warning.It tells of the day Christ will return to judge the world with blessings for obedience and discipline for the disobedient.It is called the Day of the Lord.

Yon Kipper or Day of Atonement is ten days later. It is the day we are forgiven and washed clean of all our sin, it is the end of the rule of the anti-Christ.

The Feast of Tabernacles is five days later. To celebrate people leave their homes and live in booths.It speaks of a new earth.

Our holidays are based on the ones that the Constantine, Emperor of Rome in 325 decided to make into law. There is a lot of information about this emperor in letters and laws that he wrote and are still preserved. God used this emperor very like God used Nebuchadezzar, for our benefit but he was an evil man who used Christianity for his benefit. He wanted the people of Rome united into one religion, and he thought Christ helped him win a battle when he took a chance on praying to Christ. He called the council at Nicene, asking all Christian leaders to come and make Christianity into one religion instead of the various denominations that had developed. He thought that God, our creator, was a different God from Christ. He thought that the customs of the Jews made them terrible people, and felt each Jew should pay for the Jews who had crucified Christ. He called them murderers and shameful people. He felt that if they were included in the Christian religion it could not be a religion that united people.

Paul had a similar battle, trying to unite Jews and gentiles. Paul did it by teaching us to take the legalism out of worship so we have pure worship in spirit and truth. Paul tried to unite, Constantine took Paul's words to make them divide.

For these reasons, he made anything in the Old Testament something against the religion he wanted for his nation. That is why he made laws saying Sabbath and the feasts must never be celebrated. He was a pagan who kept to his pagan worship until his very death, so by Christianizing the pagan days he could gain the good will of the citizens of Rome he asked to change religions and still make it sound as if he was a Christian. At that time, people who became Christians had to be trained in Christian principles, Constantine refused to do this.

Christians today need to read the letters this evil man wrote, his influence is still felt in our churches today. He was a very intelligent man and his words are meant to sound very holy, but they are filled with murderous intent.

I respect you highly, but that sounds a lot like Jewish tradition instead of straight Biblical doctrine. I see that you didn't mention feast of weeks and listed trumpets as feast which also in non-Biblical, but for the most part I agree with your explanations of those times. The Jewish New Year (Rosh Hashanah) is the first day of the civil Jewish calendar but not the Biblical new year of *Nisan/Abib.

Exodus 12:2 This month shall be unto you the beginning of months: it shall be the first month of the year to you.

Exodus 13:3-4
3 And Moses said unto the people, Remember this day, in which ye came out from Egypt, out of the house of bondage; for by strength of hand the LORD brought you out from this place: there shall no leavened bread be eaten .
4 This day came ye out in the month *Abib.

Esther 3:7 In the first month, that is, the month *Nisan, in the twelfth year of king Ahasuerus, they cast Pur, that is, the lot, before Haman from day to day, and from month to month, to the twelfth month, that is, the month Adar.

Exodus 23:14-16
14Three times thou shalt keep a feast unto me in the year.
15 Thou shalt keep the feast of unleavened bread: (thou shalt eat unleavened bread seven days, as I commanded thee, in the time appointed of the month Abib; for in it thou camest out from Egypt: and none shall appear before me empty
16 And the feast of harvest, the firstfruits of thy labours, (feast of weeks) which thou hast sown in the field: and the feast of ingathering,(feast of tabernacles) which is in the end of the year, when thou hast gathered in thy labours out of the field

Deuteronomy 16:16 Three times in a year shall all thy males appear before the LORD thy God in the place which he shall choose ; in the feast of unleavened bread, and in the feast of weeks, and in the feast of tabernacles: and they shall not appear before the LORD empty:

2 Chronicles 8:13 Even after a certain rate every day, offering according to the commandment of Moses, on the sabbaths, and on the new moons, and on the solemn feasts, three times in the year, even in the feast of unleavened bread, and in the feast of weeks, and in the feast of tabernacles

I have read the vow he made Jews take, and if they observed the Sabbath or any other ordinances, in the Jewish tradition, they would be verbalizing condemnation upon themselves by this said vow. They were usually killed if they didn't live by the vow.

I see this thread is still running and today the new crescent moon was not sighted in Israel. That means tomorrow night at sundown is the first day of the seventh month. Yom Teruah (Jews call it Rosh Hoshana). Now we know the rest of the Holy Days and when they fall. This is the day and hour no man knows until it is sighted or past the 30th day of the previous month.

When Is The New Moon

My 89 year old brain gets the civil and religious calendar so mixed up I just decided to not go there!! And when I listed the feasts, I tried to find the names for them that perhaps CC's could recognize best. I tried to simplify everything so this recap of feasts were just for people who had no idea what the feasts are about.

I hope there are bible students out there who will read it and see they are worth studying and celebrating.

Yes and there were 7 not 3 as just-me is claiming.

Three seasons:

1) Passover
2) Pentecost
3) Fall - Tabernacles

But there are more than three Feasts. All one has to do is read Lev 23 and count as he reads.

But there are more than three Feasts. All one has to do is read Lev 23 and count as he reads.

OK as long as we are trying to push what feast/feasts mean, rather than defining what they mean for us spiritually today, here is my rhetorical question. Do each of the 3 feasts have more then one appointed time connected with them? the answer is yes they do. I'll shorten the descriptions but keep this post short. Let's not let egotistical male hormones dominate LOL

Leviticus 23=Feasts plural=4150 mow`ed mo-ade' or moled {mo-ade'}; or (feminine) moweadah (2Chronicles 8:13) {mo-aw-daw'}; from 3259; properly, an appointment, i.e. a fixed time or season; specifically, a festival;

Feast singular=2282 chag khag or chag {khawg}; from 2287; a festival, or a victim therefor:--(solemn) feast (day), sacrifice, solemnity.

2 Chronicles 8:13=feast singular,(2282) and plural(4150)
13 Even after a certain rate every day, offering according to the commandment of Moses, on the sabbaths, and on the new moons, and on the solemn feasts (4150), three times in the year, even in the feast(2282) of unleavened bread, and in the feast(2282) of weeks, and in the feast(2282) of tabernacles.

So if anyone wants to call all the appointed times enveloped in between Nisan 14 and Tishri 22 as feasts I have no problem with that despite how the previous verse is written. There is no sense in arguing over semantics and bypass the real guts of how they all relate to our Lord Jesus Christ. The reason I say only 3 feasts is that the three listed above involve more than one appointed time. For instance, Pesach/Passover is within the feast of unleavened bread. Shavuot/Pentecost, and firstfruits are within the feast of weeks etc. Trumpets and Atonement preempt tabernacles but all three, individually, are appointed times. (plural) So each feast listed in the Bible has more than one appointed time with the exception of tabernacles. The 1st and 7th month correlate and are comparable to each other, by the days of these appointed times.

We could compare Matthew chapters 18-20, with what Jesus did during the nine days before He came to Jerusalem riding on a colt. Jesus foretells His death in Matthew 17:22-23, and there were 9 days in order for the people to receive the message that He needed to bring to them. We can deduce that the first day of the first month would also be when the Priesthood was transferred from the tribe of Levi to the tribe of Judah on the “Mount of Transfiguration” in Matthew 17:1. If not the exact day of Nisan 1 it was very close chronology wise.

Moses was instructed to advise Israel to acquire a lamb without blemish on Nisan 1 in Exodus 12:2-3. In reality, knowing thousands of people needed to hear the message, 9 days were given for all to know what to do.

The blowing of the trumpets on Tishri 1 was the call for people to assemble for a convocation in Leviticus 23:24. The number of days given for all to assemble was also 9, for in the next verse God says what to do next on the 10[SUP]th[/SUP] day.

As both Moses and Jesus call the people to prepare, the trumpet blasts do the same, calling the people to prepare and come together for the purpose at hand. Numbers 10:7. But when the congregation is to be gathered together , ye shall blow , but ye shall not sound an alarm . Numbers 29:1 And in the seventh month, on the first day of the month, ye shall have an holy convocation; ye shall do no servile work: it is a day of blowing the trumpets unto you.

This is just a short overview of the comparison of the first 9 days of both months, and how they relate to Jesus' ministry preparing for Atonement that starts on the 10[SUP]th[/SUP] day. The 10[SUP]th[/SUP] day Jesus enters Jerusalem and in Exodus all Israel have acquired a lamb to check for blemishes during the next 4 days.

Trumpets, Atonement, and the Feast of Tabernacles in the seventh month are a commemoration of the first month to prepare for passover leading into the Feast of Unleavened Bread and a quick exit from the sin of the world. Jesus said, “If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily , and follow me.” Luke 9:23 Eating unleavened bread with bitterness is related to self denial.

thank you all, for all of the work and study that you have shared,
we love learning, even re-learning and finding those treasures
that we missed the first or second or third......time around.
believe me, your minds, goodness and tenacity are greatly appreciated,
it's kind of like being invited to sit down to a wonderful feast, and being so
excited for the opportunity and chance to take a bite of each and every dish.

[SUB]Thank you. The feasts all point to Christ our Lord and Savior. It is good to set these times aside as God has directed for us to remember His magnificent greatness and perfection. Here's some more.

[SUB]The day of Atonement in relation to the acquisition of the Passover lamb taken in Exodus 12:3. Atonement is on the 10[SUP]th[/SUP] day of Tishri commemorating the 10[SUP]th[/SUP] day of Nisan.

[SUB]There is proof that Jesus entered Jerusalem on the 10th day of Nisan 5 days before He was arrested and hung on the cross. He was killed on the 14[SUP]th[/SUP] of this same month as was the Passover Lamb. Reading in John 12:1 we see “Then Jesus, six days before the passover, came to Bethany where Lazarus was which had been dead, whom he raised from the dead.” Knowing that the Hebrew day begins at sundown, God passed over on the 15[SUP]th[/SUP] of Nisan. (Exodus 12:29) So 6 days before Passover (the 14[SUP]th[/SUP]) would be the 9[SUP]th[/SUP] day of Nisan correlating with the last day of trumpets in the 7[SUP]th[/SUP] month.[/SUB]

John 12:12-13 says Jesus entering into Jerusalem the next day (the 10th)saying; “On the next day much people that were come to the feast, when they heard that Jesus was coming to Jerusalem, Took branches of palm trees, and went forth to meet him, and cried, Hosanna: Blessed is the King of Israel that cometh in the name of the Lord.” [/SUB]

The day Jesus rode into Jerusalem on a colt of an ass would then be the tenth day of Nisan. In relation, the 10[SUP]th[/SUP] day in Leviticus 23:27-28, and Numbers 29:7, these scriptures say; “Also on the tenth day of this seventh month there shall be a day of atonement: it shall be an holy convocation unto you; and ye shall afflict your souls, and offer an offering made by fire unto the LORD. And ye shall do no work in that same day: for it is a day of atonement, to make an atonement for you before the LORD your God. And ye shall have on the tenth day of this seventh month an holy convocation; and ye shall *afflict your souls: ye shall not do any work therein.” To *afflict is to deny oneself in relation to eating unleavened bread with *bitterness.[/SUB]
