For many people, the Levitical Feasts are viewed
as no longer valid, done away with or nailed to
the cross.

Many have the mistaken belief that what is found
in the Old Testament is old and dead and faded
away.
This common
misunderstanding
completely losessight of the Covenant Yahveh made with Israeland still makes
with His people todays spiritual Israel- both Jew and Gentile,
One New Man in Yeshua.
The Old Testaments promises and expectations are a part of
the overall plan of Yahveh, as are those of the New. There are
not two different and separate religious requirements: one for
Jews and the other for us.
John tells us,Scripture cannot be broken(10:35).
The Feasts, similarly, are not just found in the Old Testament. But thats getting ahead of
ourselves.
They are several widely held misconceptions regarding the Feast Days:
The Feasts were only for ancient Israel.
The Feasts are a part of an old, dead, ritualistic, works based righteousness.
The Feasts were nailed to the cross along with all the other laws Yeshua abolished.

Whose Feasts Are They?
Nearly two months before the Old Covenant
was ratified and before he scaled Mount Sinai
to receive the codified law from Yahveh,Moses was instructed about Passover and
the first Feast, Unleavened Bread. Yahveh
told Him,
And this day shall be unto you for a
memorial; and you shall keep [it] a feast to
Yahveh throughout your generations; you
shall keep it a feast by an ordinance for
ever(Ex. 12:14).
Firstly, we learn that it is a Feast to Yahveh, Later in Leviticus, a book that details each of
the seven annual Feast observances, Yahveh commands Moses, Speak unto the children of
Israel, and say unto them, Concerning the feasts of Yahveh, which you shall proclaim to be
holy convocations, even these are my feasts(Lev. 23:2).
We are left in no doubt as to whom these observances belong. They are Yahvehs, not
Israels and not Feasts just for Jews.
In case we should fall into confusion as to the standing of each feast, He details each one for
us in Leviticus 23:5-43.

But carefully note how He prefaces the feasts He is about to list (verse 4):
These are the feasts of Yahveh, even holy convocations, which you shall proclaim in their
seasons(Lev. 23:4).All the Feasts belong to Yahveh.
At the end of the chapter, after Yahveh finished detailing each of the seven observances, we
read, And Moses declared unto the children of Israel the feasts of Yahveh(Lev. 23:44).
It didnt matter whether you were an Israelite or a stranger, you were required to observe
these days. Notice what Yahveh says about the first of the Feasts, Unleavened Bread:Seven
days shall there be no leaven found in your houses: for whosoever eats that which is
leavened, even that soul shall be cut off from the congregation of Israel, whether he be a
stranger, or born in the land(Ex. 12:19).
These special annual times belong to Yahveh and are given to those who seek to know Him
and take hold of His promiseno matter which they are. Well now look at the next common
misconception.

Saved by Works?
Do you mean you keep the law to be saved is a common question.The answer is that holy as
the Torah is, it is incomplete in that it could not give Eternal Life to Israel, but it pointed to
One who could (Deut. 18:15-18). Not that the Law was ever intended to save anyone, but it
pointed to the fact of Israels need for a new heart (her sinful condition), thus, Israels need
for her Messiah. This is what He is fulfilling. Yahveh states in Deut. 30:6 that He willcircumcise Israels heart to love Yahveh and walk in His Ways.
The Torah cannot make Israel, to be like Yahveh and Mashiach. Only the shed Blood and Spirit
of Yeshua can do that. Its not that the Torah is incomplete, but that Israel is incomplete, and
needed the Messiah to come to fulfill the Commandment to Israel, that Israel must be holy, as
Yahveh is holy. For God says that He is the One who will make Israel holy (Ex. 31:13).
The Feasts are part of us walking in His ways and loving Yahveh, just as the Ten
Commandments. They reveal the spiritual attributes of Yahveh and they transform us
spiritually to be more like Yeshua when we observe them.
The change in the law, that many mistakenly believe =No Torah in Yeshua, refers to the
penalty that we receive for our breaking of the law.
Hebrews 9:9-12 speaks of that change:
Which was a figure for the time then present, in which were offered both gifts and
sacrifices, that could not make him that did the service perfect, as pertaining to the
conscience; Which stood only in meats and drinks, and divers washings, and carnal
ordinances, imposed on them until the time of reformation. But Messiah being come an high
priest of good things to come, by a greater and more perfect tabernacle, not made with
7/28/2019 Http Theseedofabrahamuk Com the Feasts of Yahveh Why the Feasts
6/16
hands, that is to say, not of this building; Neither by the blood of goats and calves, but by his
own blood he entered in once into the holy place, having obtained eternal redemption for us.
These ritualistic ordinances had been added to the law obligation because of Israels continued
transgressions (Gal. 3:19). It was imperative that Israel learn the important lesson that sin is a
serious thing that separates us from Yahveh and requires bloodshedding for atonement.
Now we rely on the Savior as the ultimate sacrifice, and who now intercedes for us as our
High Priest.His blood and not the blood of bulls and goats is the only effective antidote to
counteract and blot out sin.This is the fulfilling or completion of the law Yeshua spoke of-not
only are sins covered but in Yeshua they are wiped clean, the charge sheet of sin is totally
blotted out, not merely covered.
This is the change in the law that the Bible speaks of.
We find nothing here or anywhere else in the Scriptures about a change in our responsibility
to keep the law or more specifically Torah. For Torah is an eternal law for their generations.
(Lev 7:36)
Nailing Down the Change
But doesnt Colossians 2:14 say that all of Yahwehs laws, including the Feasts, were nailedto the stake when Yeshua died? some may be asking. Lets read the main verse in question:
Blotting out the handwriting of ordinances that was against us, which was contrary to us,
and took it out of the way, nailing it to the tree (Col. 2:14). Here we find that the ordinances
that were nailed to the tree were against us. Is Yahvehs law against us? Does not Paul
write, Wherefore the law is holy, and the commandment holy, and just, and good?(Rom.
7/28/2019 Http Theseedofabrahamuk Com the Feasts of Yahveh Why the Feasts
7/16
7:12).
If the law is against us, why does 1John 5:3 say,For this is the love of Elohim, that we keep
His commandments: and His commandments are not grievous?
In fact, any law, is intended for the good of the people. The commandments sure are, and so
are the Feasts.
Therefore, in Colossians 2:14 the ordinances that Paul speaks of are the charges written
against us as a result of our transgression of Torah. Just as Yeshua had a charge sheet
nailed above His own head on the Stauros, so too our own transgressions hang figuratively
above our own heads. It is this penalty of death relating to our charge sheet that is blotted
out by the blood of the Lamb.
Is the Law also blotted out also? NO for that would mean that Yeshua died for lawlessness not
righteousness.
Feasts Now and Forever?
Had Yeshua told us that under the New Covenant we dont need to observe the seven annual
Feasts, then we would not bother. The reality is, no one in the Messianic Writings said such a
thing.
In fact, we find a myriad of passages in the Messianic Writings where people intended to keep
them, were keeping them, and would keep them in the coming Kingdom. And these included
Yeshua Himself. Here are some:
And when he was twelve years old, they went up to Jerusalem after the custom of the
7/28/2019 Http Theseedofabrahamuk Com the Feasts of Yahveh Why the Feasts
8/16
feast. (The Saviors parents were in the act of keeping Passover and Unleavened Bread in
Luke 2:42.)
After this there was a feast of the Jews; and Yeshua went up to Jerusalem. (Yeshua went
to Jerusalem probably to keep Passover and Days of Unleavened Bread, John 5:1.)
You know that after two days is [the feast of] the Passover, and the Son of man is
betrayed to be impaled. (Yeshua was to become the Passover sacrifice in Matt. 26:2.)
Now the first day of the feast of unleavened bread the disciples came to Yeshua, saying
unto him, where will you that we prepare for you to eat the passover? (Yeshua always was
planing to keep the Passover, Matt. 26:17.)
Now the Jews feast of tabernacles was at hand. But when his brethren were gone up,
then went he also up unto the feast, not openly, but as it were in secret. Now about the
midst of the feast Yeshua went up into the temple, and taught. (Heres proof that Yeshua
kept this fall Feast, John 7:2, 10, 14.)
And there were certain Greeks among them that came up to worship at the feast. (Non-
Jews observed Passover in John 12:20.)
But bade them farewell, saying, I must by all means keep this feast that comes inJerusalem: but I will return again unto you, if Yahveh will. And he sailed from Ephesus. (Paul
in Acts 18:21 was speaking after the Saviors resurrection about his intentions to observe the
Feast.)
Therefore let us keep the feast, not with old leaven, neither with the leaven of malice and
wickedness; but with the unleavened bread of sincerity and truth. (Paul is telling us to
7/28/2019 Http Theseedofabrahamuk Com the Feasts of Yahveh Why the Feasts
9/16
observe the Feast of Unleavened Bread with a new emphasis in 1Cor. 5:8.)
But I say unto you, I will not drink henceforth of this fruit of the vine, until that day when I
drink it new with you in my Fathers kingdom. (Our Saviors statement promises that He
would observe Passover in the Kingdom with the faithful, Matt. 26:29.)
Considering Yahvehs many commandments to keep His Feasts, as well as patriarchs doing
just that, what hinders us to fulfill righteousness as well? Clearly the only holidays in the Bible
are those kept by Israel and by the Apostles and our Savior as well. All else is man-made.
They Just Keep Going and Going
In His instructions to Moses and Israel detailing the Passover and Feast that follows, Yahveh
made it crystal clear that this was not a one-time deal. Nor was it just for Israel at that time.
Yahveh thundered, And this day shall be unto you for a memorial; and you shall keep it a
feast to Yahveh throughout your generations; you shall keep it a feast by an ordinance for
ever(Ex. 12:14).
No fewer than four times in Leviticus 23after mentioning the various FeastsYahveh declares
the Feasts a statute forever. If these days were important only in the lives of ancient
Israelites, then why do we find them prominent in prophecy of the coming Kingdom?
7/28/2019 Http Theseedofabrahamuk Com the Feasts of Yahveh Why the Feasts
10/16
Isaiah deals with the Millennial Kingdom. We find there that when His Kingdom comes to earth,
everyone will come to keep Yahvehs appointed times: And it shall come to pass, that from
one new moon to another, and from Sabbath to another, shall all flesh come to worship
before me, says Yahveh(Isa. 66:23).
And what if they refuse, as many do today?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, Yahveh of hosts, and to keep the feast of tabernacles. And it shall be, that
whoso will not come up of all the families of the earth unto Jerusalem to worship the King,
Yahveh of hosts, even upon them shall be no rain. And if the family of Egypt go not up, and
come not, that have no rain; there shall be the plague, wherewith Yahveh will smite theheathen that come not up to keep the feast of tabernacles(Zech. 14:16-18).
Weve already read where Yeshua the Messiah promised to keep Passover in the Kingdom
with His disciples (Matt. 26:29, Mark 14:25, Luke 22:18, 30). Does it make any sense that
Yahveh would command these Feasts foreverand enforce them in the future Millennial
Kingdom on pain of plagueand not have them binding today?
The Feast days hold a wealth of lessons and they unlock important truth. They also are keys
to prophetic events as they explain the plan and purpose of the Saviors coming and His role
as our King. It is time for all people everywhere to be obedient to what Yahveh established for
the good of His people. Get in line with the annual Feasts of Yahveh and your understanding
will multiply many times over.

His Feasts were just as much a part of His law as the Ten Commandments. Let us be like the
Apostle Paul, who said, I must by all means keep this feast.

Washed by the Word
or WaterboardedPosted onJuly 12, 2013
A few thoughts on a subject Im still learning (painful and tough as it seems!!)
qinah: ardor, zeal, jealousy
Original Word:Part of Speech: Noun Feminine
Transliteration: qinah
Phonetic Spelling: (kin-aw)

chen: favor, grace

Zeal is necessary, zeal is evidence of a passion for YHVH. I have no problem
with zeal, its the grace that evades me at timesA word of correction in
season, delivered with zeal in grace can be a cool drink of water. The thirsty
can drink deep as you pour it in a fashion and manner enabling them to drink of
the Living Water.
A word of correction delivered in zeal without grace is akin to waterboarding:
7/28/2019 Http Theseedofabrahamuk Com the Feasts of Yahveh Why the Feasts
13/16
The captive feels the relentless torrent of our rapidfire delivery, we pump it out,
but- without grace- the Living Water does little to quench the thirst. And the
recipient gags, chokes and struggles, and the Water ends up spilt on the floor,
to soak into the dust.
In haste to share my understanding I have definitely had my fair share of
dishing out the latter, as well as being blessed to have been used in doing the
former.
Its my heart for the waterboarding to be WHOLLY replaced by pouring the
Living Water in my dealings with others!!
So if this sounds familiar to any of you, join me in my prayer today:
Precious YHVH,
May your Ruach be the guide in all we say and do this day.
Forgive us of the times when our qinah ardour, passion and zeal
becomes the driver and not the engine of our interactions.
