Does this BREAK the law? - Keeping Biblical feasts outside of Israel

[@dancin4yeshua]

glad you guys are working together

[@jeanene72]

Thannk you for this. I was berated quite harshly by some young man who said I was sinning by trying to keep the Feasts now, here, in the United States, without a temple, and on and on. He would not listen to reason, or the verses you quoted, so I blocked him (this was on FB). Even though we cannot to things perfectly in the here and now, it is important that we do everything we can to show God that we love Him and WANT to do His ways, and not just ignore them because things are not perfect for us.

[@MK4Hisglory]

While I will not berate you nor agree on his approach, I would ask that you consider what he’s saying. There is more scripture to not celebrate right now as we are scattered in pagan lands than there are to celebrate them. Israel celebrated as a nation, now Israel is scattered. The calendars are corrupted. Our zeal to be obedient should never override what the scriptures actually say. Yah’s instructions are quite clear. I have another comment that lists verses from the prophets that speaks of Yahuah bringing an end to their feasts when He scatters them. We have yet to be regathered.

[@themessianicmessage]

@@MosesGrace-f8e I also will not berate you but I will present with you scripture to the contrary that we do not need to obey YHVH "right now". YHVH says go the place of His name AND rejoice AND bring your sacrifices. We can't sacrifice now but we can go to the place of His name AND we can rejoice. 1Co 5:8 Therefore let’s keep the feast, not with old yeast, neither with the yeast of malice and wickedness, but with the unleavened bread of sincerity and truth. Corinth was not too far for Paul to get there. We read about him getting to Jerusalem for the Feasts. We don't read him getting to the Feasts for every Feast because going to the Feasts was like breathing. We don't record every breath. Luke recorded Paul being in Jerusalem and he was there with some Gentiles. We know this because the Jews said Paul was defiling the Temple by bringing the Gentiles to it (Acts 21:17-22:29). So the argument made by this guy in the video doesn't have legs. Paul went to the Feasts and he took Gentiles to the Feasts. He taught the Gentiles to keep the Feasts and the only place Paul ever did the Feasts was in Jerusalem. The argument that Paul had stopped going to Jerusalem for the Feasts is a straw man that doesn't stand up. Act 18:20 When they asked him to stay with them a longer time, he declined; Act 18:21 but taking his leave of them, he said, “I must by all means keep this coming feast in Jerusalem, but I will return again to you if God wills.” Then he set sail from Ephesus. Notice that it was the Jews who were not going to the Feast. The implication here is that THEY were not going. They would have known better but rabbinic law had changed YHVH's law while they were in Babylon. Paul taught the Gentiles to stay away from rabbinic law. Those who do what rabbinic Jews do, put themselves under rabbinic law because the Jews believe they can do the Feasts just anywhere they like. In fact, Judaism teaches that in the "world to come" the only Feasts to be celebrated will be Hanukkah and Purim. All the other Feasts will be done away with. Clearly, Ezekiel had not gotten that message. All the Feasts except Yom Kippur will be celebrated in the coming Millennium. YHVH is logical, not illogical. And YHVH never changes which means He won't suspend certain parts of His Law for 2,000 years and then re-implement them in the Millennium. The Sabbath was never suspended. The kosher laws were never suspended. The Feasts were never suspended. The laws of clean and unclean likewise. But this thing about believers pushing back against appearing before YHVH in person in Jerusalem has been suspended by rabbinic law, not YHVH. There are other scriptures about this but this should be enough.

[@georgeelvira551]

Check this out. If we are to read the verse below as we can ONLY keep the Pesach in the land He has given us, does that mean that the Israelites inclduing Moses were sinning since they kept the Pesach in the wilderness (not the land)in Numbers chapter 9? Perhaps the verse is telling us that the end goal is to continue to keep feast this in the land. Exodus 12:25 [25]And it shall come to pass, when ye be COME TO THE LAND which the LORD will give you, according as he hath promised, that ye shall keep this service.

So this video and others like it are very timely and needed to unify those who hold to this conviction. I’ve also been seeing a lot of content being made about an eschatological view of the millennial reign already occurring and currently being in this “little season” in which the enemy has been released to deceive the nations of the earth (Revelation 20:7-10).

[@theghastlygamer5326]

I love how most of us say Christian freedom on feast days etc which is true. My problem comes when Christians get mad if someone wants to celebrate holy days that are actually in the bible instead of holy days that have no biblical implementation. We should not celebrate easter imo, we should celebrate the death, burial, and resurrection through the passover. The passover was pointing to that moment so i say continue to celebrate it just in remembrance of Christ. Christmas the same. I don't see any biblical yearly celebration of his birth. And if you take context from the new testament, Jesus was born at a time the shepherds would sleep out with their flock and the time of year that happened was always around September maybe October. I am not saying its damnable, but I don't like when Christians act like it is damnable to celebrate actually biblically observed holy days.

[@MosesGrace-f8e]

The 3 pilgrimage festivals were among the first of the Mosaic Commandments given in Exodus 23 and 34, before the construction of the tabernacle and before the ordinations of the Aaronic and Levitical priesthoods. They were spoken to and agreed upon by the people even before the 10 Words were written on the Tablets of the Testimony. All of this, almost 40 years before the assembly of Yaakov crossed the Jordan into Kenaan. Can we keep the festivals outside the land? I dare say yes!

[@themessianicmessage]

No, you cannot since Jerusalem is only in Israel. It is Jerusalem on which YHVH put His name and it is to the place where His name is that we are to go showing our faithfulness to Him and Him alone. If we go other places, we are showing our faithfulness to what group or teacher is throwing their big 8 day party in exile, wherever that is.

[@MosesGrace-f8e]

@@themessianicmessage OK great. You don't want to keep the festivals that you were required to Go to Jerusalem to attend. What about Teruah and Kippurim? Do you neglect the commandments to 'Shabbat from customary work' and to 'afflict your soul' and to 'blow the shofar' on the non-pilgrimage appointments?

[@themessianicmessage]

I am confused by your comment to me. I go to Jerusalem every year for every Feast and have been doing that since 2015. I observe every Shabbat by doing no work as commanded, too. Yom Teruah and Yom Kippur are not pilgrimage Feasts. The pilgrimage Feasts are Pesach, Shavuot and Sukkot. I do as much as possible to keep the commandments. I don't try to figure out a way around them through bad interpretation. What about you? Will we meet at Sukkot in Jerusalem this year? I would be happy to meet you and celebrate to YHVH for His wonderful mercies and salvation together.

[@MosesGrace-f8e]

@@themessianicmessage Oh wow. You live in the land. That sure would be nice. I'm almost 12,000 miles away from it. The reason I asked you about those two days is because I did not realize you were in the land. It would be hypocritical for you to tell me that you failed to observe them, seeing as they are not pilgrimage festival, which is what most people holding your position would have said. Anyways... Moving on. You truly are blessed to be so near to Elohim. Except, He's not there. He has razed that temple to the ground. And He has removed His glory from your Holy City. And He has given it and you over to the Gentiles. And there is a huge, ugly Idol's Temple standing over the Most Holy Place. And the covering of the Testimony is nowhere to be found. And where did Elohim prophecy He would dwell when all of this happened? In the hearts of men. And He said this: 19The woman said to Him, “Sir, I perceive that You are a prophet. 20Our fathers worshiped on this mountain, and you Jews say that in Jerusalem is the place where one ought to worship.” 21Yeshua said to her, “Woman, believe Me, the hour is coming when you will neither on this mountain, nor in Jerusalem, worship the Father. 22You worship what you do not know; we know what we worship, for salvation is of the Yehudim. 23But the hour is coming, and now is, when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth; for the Father is seeking such to worship Him. 24God is Spirit, and those who worship Him must worship in spirit and truth.” So are you going to keep telling me I cannot Pesach because I live on the other side of the planet? And I don't have access to your Mosque? And I don't have access to your priest that murdered Messiah and your altar that was carried away by Rome?

[@openheretic174]

My understanding of the scriptures. The first Passover with the instructions to repeat was not performed in Jerusalem. And the instructions given in Leviticus 23, there was no temple built yet in Jerusalem, there was the tent of meeting.

[@donnaporter4962]

We cannot literally "keep" the feasts of The Lord as commanded in the torah. We memorialize them by doing what we can... Deuteronomy 30

[@MosesGrace-f8e]

The commandment IS to memorialize them. Ex 12:14 ‘So THIS DAY SHALL BE TO YOU A MEMORIAL; and YOU SHALL KEEP IT as a feast to the Lord THROUGHOUT YOUR GENERATIONS. You shall keep it as a feast by AN EVERLASTING ORDINANCE. 15Seven days you shall eat unleavened bread. There shouldn't be anymore that needs to be said about it, but if I were to it would be this: John 4:19The woman said to Him, “Sir, I perceive that You are a prophet. 20Our fathers worshiped on this mountain, and you Jews say that in Jerusalem is the place where one ought to worship.” 21Jesus said to her, “Woman, believe Me, the hour is coming when YOU WILL NEITHER ON THIS MOUNTAIN, NOR IN JERUSALEM, WORSHIP THE FATHER. 22You worship what you do not know; we know what we worship, for salvation is of the Jews. 23But the hour is coming, and now is, when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth; for the Father is seeking such to worship Him.

Yes, Jerusalem is where He places His name. That is the only place the Levitical temple and offerings may be done. The scriptures directly connects “where He places His name” to Levitical offerings, as I did: Deu 12:5 But you shall seek the place that the LORD your God will choose out of all your tribes to put his name and make his habitation there. There you shall go, Deu 12:6 and there you shall bring your burnt offerings and your sacrifices, your tithes and the contribution that you present, your vow offerings, your freewill offerings, and the firstborn of your herd and of your flock.

[10] Ye observe days, and months, and times, and years. [21] Tell me, ye that desire to be under the law, do ye not hear the law? [22] For it is written, that Abraham had two sons, the one by a bondmaid, the other by a freewoman. [23] But he who was of the bondwoman was born after the flesh; but he of the freewoman was by promise. [24] Which things are an allegory: for these are the two covenants; the one from the mount Sinai, which gendereth to bondage, which is Agar. [25] For this Agar is mount Sinai in Arabia, and answereth to Jerusalem which now is, and is in bondage with her children. [26] But Jerusalem which is above is free, which is the mother of us all. [27] For it is written, Rejoice, thou barren that bearest not; break forth and cry, thou that travailest not: for the desolate hath many more children than she which hath an husband. [28] Now we, brethren, as Isaac was, are the children of promise. [30] Nevertheless what saith the scripture? Cast out the bondwoman and her son: for the son of the bondwoman shall not be heir with the son of the freewoman. [31] So then, brethren, we are not children of the bondwoman, but of the free.

[@MK4Hisglory]

I will continue to emphatically disagree with both of you on this. Most importantly, no one, no one has a correct calendar, this means that some are celebrating a holy day on an unholy day. Yah was very specific on what days the feasts were to be celebrated. He was also very specific on where the feasts were to be kept and not just because of sacrificing in the temple. We are all scattered in pagan lands. Does this give us license to keep feasts on days and in places that Yahuah has not commanded? No one is sending representatives to Jerusalem as Dave says historically happened. Feasts such as Shavuot prescribed bringing your harvest and waving it before Yah…do we do this? No, because by and large we no longer live in an agricultural society. During Sukkoth (another harvest feast) they were to build booths and decorate them with branches and leaves of specific trees…now it’s been reduced to camping in a tent for 8 days? Sounds like we are doing celebrating them however we want. Next, I hear you both quoting some historical texts, but I don’t hear much scripture. The reference to 1 Corinthians 5:8 you use, Paul is speaking metaphorically about the leaven of sin in our old lives vs living in the new creation this side of Messiah’s stake. What about Daniel 10:1-5 where we see Daniel fasting as a captive in Babylon during Passover/Unleavened bread? Please address Hosea 2:9-11 and 9:1-6; Lamentations 2:5-7; Zephaniah 3:18; Amos 8:9-10. We cannot ignore the whole counsel of Yah’s word as found in the prophets.

In New Zealand we can't keep Yah's festivals at the correct season or the Sabbath at the correct time of day ... but we do our best. Why? Because it's about giving thanks for Yah's salvation achieved and Yah's salvation to come. It is a blessing to celebrate Sukkot in spring.
