Are the Feasts for Christians or Jews?

[Blik]

All the feasts are a celebration of Jesus who the Jews deny. The first three Feasts were fulfilled through the crucifixion, burial and resurrection of Jesus, and the Jews deny Jesus.

Passover is a celebration of God passing over death for those who accept the sacrifice of the blood of Jesus. The first Passover was when blood from a sacrificial lamb was put on the doorposts of the people freed from slavery as a sign to God to protect the sons from death. It was an illustration to the people of how the blood of Jesus would free them from death. It is about Jesus.

The feast of unleavened bread is to celebrate the burial of Jesus but was raised. Leavened bread is God’s way of illustrating sin for us, Jesus was sinless and survived decay, as sin would decay us. Christ fulfilled this feast when he was buried and became our righteousness.

2 Corinthians 5:21 God made him who had no sin to be sin for us, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God.

The feast of 1st Fruits celebrates that Christ was the first fruit of God, as He was first to rise from the dead.

Pentecost celebrates the new covenant, as we are all given the Holy Spirit as a way that God gives us His law in spirit. The forerunner of this celebration called Shavuot was when God gave us his law on stones.

The fall feasts are prophetic of Christ’s return, (Trumpets), judgment (Atonement) and protection of the Lord in the last days (Tabernacles) It refers to the protection the Lord gave the Jews freed from slavery that is prophetic of the protection we will have through Christ in our last days.

I don’t think God gave the feasts for Jews, but in truth for Christians. Do you disagree?

You're either a glutton for punishment or a brave sister. I tend to think the latter.

The festivals are Gods. And since Jesus was God....

Interesting subject.

Well, Jesus is a Jew, and the Christ, the Lion of the tribe of Juda, and thus the feasts were given by Him and made for Him, as it is written:

Col 1:16 For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him:

Lev 23:
1 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,

2 Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, Concerning the feasts of the LORD, which ye sshall proclaim to be holy convocations, even these are my feasts.
(NOTE: Speak unto the children of ""Israel"". God changed Jacob's name to Israel.)

1) Are Christians/The Body of Christ/Church today, Jacob's offspring?

2) Passover, Pentecost & Tabernacles were mandatory pilgrimage/travel to the Temple Feasts. Every male Jew of age had to make the pilgrimage, No Temple to travel to today.

3) The Lord himself, on Passover, invoked this New Testament/church ordinance:

Luke 22:17 Jesus took the cup, and gave thanks, and said, Take this, and divide it among yourselves:

19 He took bread gave thanks, brake it & gave to them, saying, This is my body which is given for you: this "do in remembrance of me"

20 Likewise also the cup after supper, saying, "This cup is the new testament in my blood" which is shed for you. Also see Matt 26:26-28 & 1 Cor 11:24-27.

1 Corinthians 5:7 (B) For even Christ our Passover is sacrificed for us:

John 6:53 Jesus said, Except ye eat the flesh of the Son of man, and drink his blood; "ye have NO LIFE in you".

Moses heard from the Lord and told us what the Lord said. Do you think the Lord then wanted us to let Moses tell us what those messages were, or were they for Moses alone? If Moses wasn't to tell us then it should not be told to us in scripture, God wouldn't have allowed it.

Scripture tells us we are Israel. Gal_3:29 And if ye be Christ's, then are ye Abraham's seed, and heirs according to the promise.

If your post is truly reporting God's word then scripture tells us that when Christ gave His life for us it wiped out God's word, and Christ said that He didn't.

I hope all who read this don't think of it as "my view", but wonder if it is truly God's view. I am nothing, God is all.

The Book of Philippians chapter 2:5 Have this mind among yourselves, which is yours in Christ Jesus, who, though he was in the form of God, did not count equality with God a thing to be grasped, but made himself nothing, taking the form of a servant, being born in the likeness of men. And being found in human form, he humbled himself by becoming obedient to the point of death, even death on a cross.

 

[Nehemiah6]

All you have to do is read Leviticus 23 to see that God did indeed give the feasts to Israel (the twelve tribes). Definitely NOT to Christians, since the Body of Christ is also the Temple of God.

In any event the question is moot. There is no temple in Jerusalem, neither is there a Levitical priesthood, neither can there be any proper sacrifices after the finished work of Christ on the cross. And without all those elements, you cannot observe the feasts as commanded by God.

So if you are trying to resurrect the feasts, you must believe that you are wiser than God.

Colossians, Chapter 2:

16Let no man therefore judge you in meat, or in drink, or in respect of an holyday, or of the new moon, or of the sabbath days:
17Which are a shadow of things to come; but the body is of Christ.

The problem we face here is that most will do it regardless........judge that is.

Yes.

The feasts were part of the training for a people to recognize their Lord and Saviour when He appeared.

Its very odd to pretend to still be in training, as if you were still waiting, when you really aren't.


Its very good to do a study on the feasts, though.



I think it would be really cool to be invited by practicing Jews to see how they celebrate/perform those feasts and hear their depiction of what they think the feast means. And then be able to tell them what you think it means.

Please don’t be upset with me, my motives are loving and respectful. ❤️

I encourage everyone to speak of Jesus in present tense. Jesus “wasn’t” God; He is God. ❤️

Please know that my comment that you quoted was directed to Blik. I have not posted any upset toward you in this thread. Please don't feel that way. I trust you at your word in your reply above. And agree. Jesus was and is God. As He said.

And become mighty outraged about the matter as to those Christians that observe Gods Sabbath, and/or the Feast Days.
It doesn't make sense that someone else and their worship of God makes those who disagree with the practice of someone else in that respect losing their composure and acting contrary to what Gods grace instills. Who can understand it.

 

[Lanolin]

Just enjoy them is all I say.

when Jesus spoke about inviting people for a feast in his parable, lots of people said they couldnt make it. So he said go out into the highways and roadsides and compel the lame, the blind and poor to come.

He spoke about givng a feast to those who couldnt pay you back. that is where His heart was.

see Luke 14

 

[p_rehbein]

If someone truly believes they are saved by Grace, by the precious blood of Christ, why do they insist on trying to live under the Law that Christ fulfilled? If they insist on trying to live under the Law, are they not dismissing the "perfect Sacrifice?"

IMO they are, but people have free will, so if they insist on trying to live under the Law that's between them and God. I just hope they know they will be judged by the Law, and the blood of Christ will not be available to them on the day they stand before the Judgement Seat. I truly hope they understand that.

If this is what God meant when God trained Israel to live truthfully acknowledging Him, then we shouldn't bother with scripture at all. Christ taught that He and God spoke with the same voice, that even eliminates Christ for Christ is God. We would especially need to eliminate the book of Galatians, for in the third chapter, verse 29 it tells us 29: And if ye be Christ's, then are ye Abraham's seed, and heirs according to the promise.

Paul explains this in the book of Romans. If we the accept the forgiveness of Christ, and Christ makes us as if we obeyed the law and did not sin-- through what He did for us, why would we tell Him we thank Him for his making us righteous, we accept that from Him but we want to go ahead and disregard the law, we prefer sinfulness?
