This paper discusses the Lord's Feasts. God's people were told to keep the feasts forever. Jesus observed all these feasts. The denominational churches only observe one of God's feasts Pentecost. Instead, the churches have incorporated many man made feasts such as Easter, Halloween, and Christmas, etc which are directly out of paganism. During the Millennium all people will observe the feast Zech 14:16. All scriptures are from the King James' version Bible.

INDUCTIVE COMMENTS:

THEME:

NEW DISPENSATION STARTING:

Luke 21:24 "And they shall fall by the edge of the sword, and shall be led away captive into all nations: and Jerusalem shall be trodden down of the Gentiles, until the times of the Gentiles be fulfilled." In 1967 Jerusalem was no longer under gentile control.

A new era began. Many Hebrew Christian ministries were established.

The Bible is a Jewish book written by Jewish authors about Jewish historical events and a Jewish Messiah in a Jewish land. The Feasts are Jewish events from a Jewish calendar. Zechariah 14:16 tells us that the gentles will be celebrating the Feast of Tabernacles with the Jews in the Millennial dispensation.

GENTILES & JEWS KEEPING THE FEASTS:

Zechariah 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." A Christian should understand God's Feasts and what is the shadow of things to come. Praise Jesus

PURPOSE: IN CONCLUSION:

A) CHRISTIANS ARE NOT UNDER LAWS OR RULES, BUT PRINCIPLES:

Colossians 2:16-17 "Let 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>: {17} Which are a shadow of things to come; but the body <is> of Christ." Learn God's principles of what the Feasts teach. Gentiles Christians have been taught, in there churches, from a gentile perspective about the Bible. Anytime Jewish Feast days are mention it's as being put under the law. As they attend church each Sunday. In the same way, they participate in feasts.

B) GOD'S RESPONSE TO JEWS/CHRISTIANS IN SIN: OUR RELIGIOUS OBSERVATION INSTEAD OF FAITH & A RELATIONSHIP FROM THE HEART:

Isaiah 1:10-18 "Hear the word of the LORD, ye rulers of Sodom; give ear unto the law of our God, ye people of Gomorrah. {11} To what purpose <is> the multitude of your sacrifices unto me? saith the LORD: I am full of the burnt offerings of rams, and the fat of fed beasts; and I delight not in the blood of bullocks, or of lambs, or of he goats. {12} When ye come to appear before me, who hath required this at your hand, to tread my courts? {13} Bring no more vain oblations; incense is an abomination unto me; the new moons and sabbaths, the calling of assemblies, I cannot away with; <it is> iniquity, even the solemn meeting. {14} Your new moons and your appointed feasts my soul hateth: they are a trouble unto me; I am weary to bear <them>. {15} And when ye spread forth your hands, I will hide mine eyes from you: yea, when ye make many prayers, I will not hear: your hands are full of blood. {16} Wash you, make you clean; put away the evil of your doings from before mine eyes; cease to do evil; {17} Learn to do well; seek judgment, relieve the oppressed, judge the fatherless, plead for the widow. {18} Come now, and let us reason together, saith the LORD: though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool."

SALVATION IS OF THE JEWS: THROUGH JEWISH: PROPHECIES, MESSIAH, CUSTOMS AND UNDERSTANDINGS OF THE OLD AS WELL AS THE NEW TESTAMENT.

John 4:20-23 "Our fathers worshipped in this mountain; and ye say, that in Jerusalem is the place where men ought to worship. {21} Jesus saith unto her, Woman, believe me, the hour cometh, when ye shall neither in this mountain, nor yet at Jerusalem, worship the Father. {22} Ye worship ye know not what: we know what we worship: for salvation is of the Jews. {23} But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeketh such to worship him."

XIX) IN CONCLUSION:

A) CHRISTIANS ARE NOT UNDER LAWS OR RULES, BUT PRINCIPLES:

from a gentile perspective about the Bible. Anytime Jewish Feast days are mention it's as being put under the law. As they attend church each Sunday. In the same way, they participate in feasts.

See my paper: "Christians Are Not Under Law, But Jews Can Culturally Keep God's Commandments" COMMANDMENTS WERE GIVEN TO JEWS NOT GENTILES; CHRISTIANS ARE NOT UNDER LAW; BUT JEWISH BELIEVERS MAY CONTINUE KEEPING LAW NOT FOR SALVATION for more information on this subject.

B) GOD'S RESPONSE TO JEWS/CHRISTIANS IN SIN: OUR RELIGIOUS OBSERVATION INSTEAD OF FAITH & A RELATIONSHIP FROM THE HEART:

See my paper: "Questions & Answers on Law, Faith & Liberty" THE PURPOSE OF LAW, FAITH BEFORE THE LAW, FAITH IS GOD'S PLAN & LIBERTY FROM THE LAW. for more information on this subject.

XX) SALVATION IS OF THE JEWS: THROUGH JEWISH: PROPHECIES, MESSIAH, CUSTOMS AND UNDERSTANDINGS OF THE OLD AS WELL AS THE NEW TESTAMENT.

See my paper: "Sermon on the Mount" MATTHEW 5-7 & LUKE 6, 11 & 12 ARE DISCUSSED VERSE BY VERSE WITH KINGDOM PRINCIPLES for more information on this subject.

XXI) NEW DISPENSATION STARTING:

A new era began. Many Hebrew Christian ministries were established.

XXII) GENTILES & JEWS KEEPING THE FEASTS:

Zechariah 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." A Christian should understand God's Feasts and what is the shadow of things to come. Praise Jesus
