Moadim (Holy Days)
God’s Appointed Times[1]
God said, “Let there be lights in the dome of the sky to divide the day from the night; let them be for signs, seasons, days, and years; and let them be for lights in the dome of the sky to give light to the earth’; and that is how it was. (Gen 1:14-15)
ADONAI[GN] said to Moshe, “Tell the people of Isra’el: ‘The designated times of ADONAI which you are to proclaim as holy convocations are My designated times. (Lev. 23:1)
In
the Torah [Leviticus 23] God has decreed seven “appointed times” for
all His people, both Jew and non-Jew, to appear before Him in corporate holy
assembly:
Shabbat (the seventh-day weekly Sabbath),
Pesach (Passover),
Matzah (Unleavened Bread),
Firstfruits,
Shavuot (Weeks or Pentecost),
Yom Kippur (the Day of Atonement), and
Sukkot (Booths or Tabernacles). He said that these are to be the
“designated times of ADONAI that you are to proclaim as holy convocations”
and that they are to be observed by all His people as “a permanent regulation,
generation after generation.” To these, the Jewish people have added two additional
holidays,
Purim and
Chanukah. They are not “holy” days, but they
are days of memorial to God’s direct intervention into their
national history.
The Church argues that these days are “holidays of the Jews,” yet the Bible clearly calls them “the appointed feasts of ADONAI” (Lev. 23:2; 2Chron. 2:4). Daniel prophesied that the Antichrist “… will intend to change religious festivals and laws…” (Daniel 7:25).
In the spirit of Antichrist, the Church has corporately decided that what God has commanded is simply not important and refuses to honor the times of “holy convocation” that He has designated; the Church presumes that He should be satisfied with their showing up uninvited on Sunday morning, Sunday night, Wednesday, Christmas, and Easter, all of which are totally pagan in origin.
“Do not be deceived, God is not mocked; for whatever a man sows, this he will also reap” (Galatians 6:7, NASB). [MORE HERE]
