Let Us Keep The Feasts!
We, in this generation, live in a strange world. We live in a world where people claim to follow the Bible, yet they do not even know what is written in the Bible. They know nothing of Yahweh's perfect Laws which guide us in the way of righteousness.
We live in a world that follows teachings, traditions and religious worship that are condemned in the Holy Scriptures the people believe they are being trained to follow.
We live in a world that follows preachers who the people think are teaching them the way of righteousness as written according to their Holy Scriptures, inspired by the Creator. The truth is, these preachers are teaching people against the way of righteousness that their Holy Scriptures instruct them to follow, and they do not even know it. They are blind to this deception.
II
Corinthians
4:4—
For the gods (elohim) of
this world (led by Satan) have blinded the minds of those who
do not believe, so that the light of the message of the glory of the
Messiah, Who is the image of Yahweh, should not shine unto them.
This deception is a result of the foolish teachings of the many deceived preachers who have gone out into the world on their own accord, having no authority from Yahweh.
Yeremyah
14:14—
And Yahweh said to me: The
prophets prophesy lies in My Name! I have not sent them, nor
have I commanded them, nor have I spoken to them! They
prophesy to you false visions, divination of god (el)
worship—the deceit of their own minds!
Mattithyah
24:5,11—
5 For many will come against My
Name, saying: I am anointed to preach salvation!—and
will deceive many.
11 And many false
prophets will rise, and will deceive the many.
If we would read the Holy Scriptures for ourselves, we would see in no uncertain terms that no one, no layman, no church, no preacher, has any authority to change what the holy prophets of old were inspired to write. They certainly do not get permission from the Scriptures to change any of Yahweh's Laws.
This is an unauthorized authority they have taken upon themselves. As a matter of fact, anyone who takes this authority upon himself to change any one of Yahweh's 613 perfect Laws will bring curses upon himself. Read this for yourself. Not only are these curses pronounced in the Book of the Law, but they are also written in Book II of the Holy Scriptures, the so-called New Testament which the Christian world claims to follow.
Deuteronomy
4:2—
You shall not add to the
word which I command you, nor shall you take anything from it,
so that you may keep the Laws of Yahweh your Father which I command
you.
Revelation
22:18-19—
18 For I testify to everyone who
hears the words of the prophecy of this Book: If any man will
add to these things, Yahweh will add to him the plagues that are
written in this Book:
19 And if any man will
take away from the words of the Book of this prophecy, Yahweh will take
away his part out of The Book of Life, and out of Yahweh
Shammah, and from the things which are
written in this Book.
Warning after warning is given in the Holy Scriptures against following traditions that cause one to break any one of the Laws written in the Holy Scriptures.
The Scriptural instruction for everyone who seeks salvation, eternal life and the Kingdom of Heaven is to keep the Laws of Yahweh and eternal life will be given to you. Yes, eternal life is a free gift from Yahweh and the only stipulation is to obey Yahweh's every Word (Law). It is that plain and simple. You do not add to, nor do you take away from, Yahweh's inspired Words. These Laws are written that they may direct us in the path of righteousness which leads to eternal life. Do not follow doctrines of men who change Yahweh's Words to suit themselves, to gain a following for themselves, who do not honor Yahweh in their teachings.
Mattithyah
19:17—
But He said to him: Why
do you question Me about righteousness? There is only One Who is the
standard of perfection, and that is Yahweh; so if you would enter into
life, keep the Laws of Yahweh.
Yahchanan
Mark
7:7—
But in vain do they worship Me,
teaching as doctrine the commandments of men.
Colossians
2:22-23—
22 These things, pertaining to
the commandments and teachings of men, if used, are for corruption!
23 Indeed, such things are a
wordy show, self-wisdom, godworship (the worship of elohim), and self-humility__not
in any honor of the body, but only for the gratification of the flesh.
Mattithyah
7:21-23—
21 Not everyone who says to Me;
Teacher! Teacher! will enter into the Kingdom of Yahweh, but only
he who does the will of My Father Who is in heaven.
22 Many will say to Me in that
day; Teacher! Teacher! Have we not prophesied in Your Name, and cast
out demons in Your Name, and in Your Name performed many wonderful
works?
23 But then I will declare to
them; I never knew you. Get away from Me, you who transgress against
Yahweh's Law!
The Scriptures in the second part of The Book of Yahweh, commonly known as the New Testament, which this world claims to follow, clearly states that the breaking of Yahweh's Laws is sin.
I
Yahchanan
3:4—
Whoever commits sin, transgresses
also the Law; for sin is the transgression of
the Law.
Yaaqob makes this even clearer, stating that if we break even one Law, we are guilty of sin and the wages of sin are death. As we can also see from the following Scriptures, there is only one way to obtain eternal life and that is through obedience to Yahweh's Laws.
Yaaqob
2:10, 14,
26—
10 For whoever keeps the whole
Law, and yet transgresses one Law, he is
guilty of all.
14 What does it profit,
my brothers, if a man says he has faith, but does not keep the Laws of
Yahweh? The faith is not able to save him.
26 For just
as the body without the Word of Yahweh is dead, so the faith
without keeping the Laws of Yahweh is dead also.
Romans
6:23—
For the wages of sin is death;
but the gift of Yahweh is eternal life through
Yahshua Messiah, our Savior.
Deuteronomy
6:1,25—
1 Now these are the Laws, the
statutes, and the judgments which Yahweh your Father has commanded me
to teach you: so that you may observe them in the land you are crossing
over to possess;
25 And it will be OUR
RIGHTEOUSNESS, if we observe to do all of this Law before
Yahweh our Father, as He has commanded us.
Revelation
22:14—
Blessed are those
who keep His Laws, that they may have right to the tree of life, and
may enter in through the gates into the city.
The apostles were inspired to write to all who seek salvation and a life of righteousness that we should keep the Feasts of Yahweh. We should not forsake the gathering of ourselves together on these Feast Days.
I
Corinthians
5:8—
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.
Due to the strong deception found in the world today, most people know very little, if anything, concerning the Feasts of Yahweh. Yet, we are told by the inspired apostles that if we fail to obey the Laws of Yahweh (willfully sin), once we have come to the knowledge of the truth (once we obtained understanding), there remains no more sacrifice for sins.
Hebrews
10:24-29—
24 And let us consider one
another, how we may urge one another on
toward love and righteous works;
25 Not forsaking the gathering of
ourselves together, as the manner of some is, but
exhorting one another; and so much the more as you
see the day approaching.
26 For if we sin willfully after
we have received the knowledge of the truth, there no longer remains a
sacrifice for sins,
27 But a certain fearful
expectation of judgment, yes, a zealous judgment. For it will come to
pass that the adversaries will be devoured.
28 Those who rejected the Law given
through Mosheh died without mercy on the
testimony of two or three witnesses.
29 How much more severely do you
think a man deserves to be called to account, who has trampled the Son
of Yahweh underfoot, and has counted the blood of the covenant (with
which He was sanctified) an unholy thing, and who has condemned the
merciful Word of Yahweh?
Preachers today, in trying to keep the people in their congregations, tell them what they want to hear, instead of teaching the people what is actually written in the inspired Scriptures. The preachers have completely avoided these wonderful Laws of keeping Yahweh's Feasts.
II
Timothy
4:3—
For the time will come when
they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their
own lusts they will heap to themselves teachers, who will tickle their
ears; telling them what they want tohear.
Most of these men, I believe, have made religion a business for the sake of money. They cannot possibly believe the Holy Scriptures, otherwise they would teach what is written in the Scriptures. They would not be teaching the traditions of men, which are strongly condemned in the Scriptures.
These Feasts of Yahweh are a wonderful way of life that will bring joy to all who practice these Laws. They bring us together as a family, in unity, teaching us true love and concern for one another. These Laws are found in the Holy Scriptures, but they are not taught by the churches today. These Laws are hated by the religious world around us, just as the Savior was hated without a cause.
If you would come and practice these Laws among others who also keep Yahweh's Laws in the place Yahweh chooses to place His Name, you would find a great joy—a joy you have never before experienced! You will then wonder why all the world does not see fit to obey Yahweh's Laws in keeping His Feasts in the place He chooses to place His Name.
