In very general terms... Seems most of them were used to announce Jesus Christ...
When does this scripture take place ?
Zec 14:16 And it shall come to pass, that every one that is left of all the nations which came against Jerusalem shall even go up from year to year to worship the King, the LORD of hosts, and to keep the feast of tabernacles.
Zec 14:17 And it shall be, that whoso will not come up of all the families of the earth unto Jerusalem to worship the King, the LORD of hosts, even upon them shall be no rain.
Zec 14:18 And if the family of Egypt go not up, and come not, that have no rain; there shall be the plague, wherewith the LORD will smite the heathen that come not up to keep the feast of tabernacles.
Zec 14:19 This shall be the punishment of Egypt, and the punishment of all nations that come not up to keep the feast of tabernacles.
Zec 14:20 In that day shall there be upon the bells of the horses, HOLINESS UNTO THE LORD; and the pots in the LORD'S house shall be like the bowls before the altar.
Zec 14:21 Yea, every pot in Jerusalem and in Judah shall be holiness unto the LORD of hosts: and all they that sacrifice shall come and take of them, and seethe therein: and in that day there shall be no more the Canaanite in the house of the LORD of hosts.
Celebrated and observe yes.. naturally I would think so.You make a very interesting point. If these festivals were celebrated in Jesus' day, and they will be celebrated again when he returns, then why not celebrate them in between?
The TOG
I am determined that they all do. But so many people are uninterested in them. Of course to each his own as pointed out by the apostle paulIn very general terms... Seems most of them were used to announce Jesus Christ...
if I may. god claim them as his people first after the time of Abraham on. in Egypt have I called my firstborn and he called isreal his firstborn, a son has rights to the nature of the father. as he has that in him. the Hebrews got the feasts and god revealed his nature and things in heaven via those feasts. red up on the books of revalation and the visions and how isreal lined up around the tabernacle, and how the 144,000 sing the song of moses to Him who sat on the throne. the song of moses is the torah. so why shouldn't a jew say they are his? they are given to them by god. our god is a jewish one.Celebrated and observe yes.. naturally I would think so.
But not for the sake of salvation, of course.
But why do most Christians avoid these festivals.
And just because Israel polluted them why the labeling of them as Jewish festivals?
Eze 22:26 Her priests have violated my law, and have profaned mine holy things: they have put no difference between the holy and profane, neither have they shewed difference between the unclean and the clean, and have hid their eyes from my sabbaths, and I am profaned among them.
Eze 22:27 Her princes in the midst thereof are like wolves ravening the prey, to shed blood, and to destroy souls, to get dishonest gain.
Eze 23:38 Moreover this they have done unto me: they have defiled my sanctuary in the same day, and have profaned my sabbaths.
As you see God clearly places ownership of them. He calls them my sabbaths.
Well Ill give you that because he is the God of the Jews that is a fact . However he should not be reduced to that Juda was only one son of Israel and as for the the rest of the world we are grafted in to be counted among the seed of Abraham. So as it is written The sabbaths and apointed festivals do belong to God.if I may. god claim them as his people first after the time of Abraham on. in Egypt have I called my firstborn and he called isreal his firstborn, a son has rights to the nature of the father. as he has that in him. the Hebrews got the feasts and god revealed his nature and things in heaven via those feasts. red up on the books of revalation and the visions and how isreal lined up around the tabernacle, and how the 144,000 sing the song of moses to Him who sat on the throne. the song of moses is the torah. so why shouldn't a jew say they are his? they are given to them by god. our god is a jewish one.

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

the nation of Judea was the only one after the diaspora by large that went back to the land and rebuilt the temple and the northern kingdom of isreal never kept the law after solomom for the most part. whenever Judea was righteous some of the tribes of the north joined in to isreal but by large that isn't much.Well Ill give you that because he is the God of the Jews that is a fact .

I haven't heard that. rather they see that they aren't by oral traditions to mandate that upon the goy. that is what the seven noahide laws are for.Is it perhaps that some Jews don't want
Christians to keep them? I do know my wife had a Jewish coworker that made it very clear to her that Christians shouldn't be keeping the feasts. But regardless of that they are still so very significant to the Christian faith. And since they do belong to God they are given to Christians by the Messiah. Yet the majority of us don't even care to learn about them. Are there other reasons?
But why the false labeling and criticism of keeping and observing them among Christian communities?
That statement would be like me asking "Why do those who keep the feast days think they are better for doing so? "
We should not lump others all into the same barrel keeping the feasts should never be them or us. From either side..
we can not please everyone........ We need to do whatever as unto the Lord .. If it is right for you to keep the feast great keep them as unto the Lord not the other guy... Some folks see keeping feast as an insult to the Lord.. As in disregarding Him as their fulfillment. HE looks on our hearts
Um, maybe because we came to the realization that everyday is a holy day...still can't believe we still celebrate Christmas and Easter as if they should be treated differently than any other day...Both reek of paganism with their Christmas trees and lights, Easter bunnies and eggs...the name Easter comes from Eostre, the pagan goddess of fertility. No thanks...and a merry bah hum bug to you!:yesWhat are peoples reasons for not observing Gods holy days ? and why such determination for steering clear of them ?
paul said we all are adopted. jew and gentile. hmmm.as it was written to the jew first then to the gentile
Rom 1:16 For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.
Rom 1:17 For therein is the righteousness of God revealed from faith to faith: as it is written, The just shall live by faith.
And so your father gave you some land and told you to perform his will with it...... ok
But what if you didnt do that wich he told you to. and he offered it to someone else who would and offered to adopt them as sons as well? (Sons not goy)... As it is written
Joh 1:11 He came unto his own, and his own received him not.
Joh 1:12 But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name:
Joh 1:13 Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.
Should the adopted son respectfully accomplish the will of the father and be great full for the oportunity?
