PLEASE READ THIS bibleinfo/.../should-christians-observe... One noted Christian commentator says this about the ceremonial system given through Moses: “The whole system must be swept away. . . . He would thus bring to an end the system of types and ceremonies that for four thousand years had pointed to His death.” Colossians 2:16-17, NLT, So don’t let anyone condemn you for what you eat or drink, or for not celebrating certain holy days or new moon ceremonies or [yearly] sabbaths. For these rules are only shadows of the reality yet to come. And Christ himself is that reality. The yearly feast days pointed forward, (in other words, were prophetic), of Christs sacrifice. They were to be celebrated at the temple in Jerusalem with meat, drink and animal offerings. When they were fulfilled in Christs sacrifice, Christ resurrection, Christs ascension briefly on Sunday morning as represented by “the wave sheaf,” and Pentecost, 50 inclusive days later, there was no need to continue the feasts. In fact, to continue the feasts would seem to indicate that one did not believe they had been fulfilled! A Christian writer puts it this way: To continue these rites would be an insult to Jehovah. It might be a danger, if one urges the keeping of the feasts, to neglect our commission of Matthew 28:19-20, ASV, Go ye therefore, and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them into the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit: teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I commanded you: and lo, I am with you always, even unto the end of the world. Matthew 24:14, KJV, And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come. Revelation 22:20, KJV, He which testifieth these things saith, Surely I come quickly. Amen. Even so, come, Lord Jesus. Should Christians Observe the Israelite Festivals? | Bibleinfo bibleinfo
