FEASTS ARE KEPT IN THE NEW TESTAMENT
All of the Feasts of Leviticus 23 are also present in the New Testament. Not counting Matthew to John, there are 24 references.
Acts 2:1 And when the day of Pentecost (Firstfruits) was fully come.
Acts 12:3-4 (Unleavened Bread) “...intending after pascha/Passover to bring him forth to the people.”
Acts 13:42 “the Gentiles besought ...next Sabbath.”
:44 “and the next Sabbath day came almost the whole city together to hear the word of YAHVaH “
Acts 16:13 and on the Sabbath we went out of the city by river side..
Acts 17:2 and Paul, as his manner was went unto them and 3 Sabbath days reasoned with them out of the Scriptures.
18:4 ...and he reasoned in the Synagogue every Sabbath and persuaded the Jews and the Greeks. (A D 54)
18:21 ...saying I must by all means celebrate this Feast (Pentecost)
Acts 20:6-7 and we sailed away from Philippi after the days of Unleavened Bread.
20:16 for Paul had determined to sail by Ephesus...for he hasted if it were possible for him to celebrate at Jerusalem the day of Pentecost.
Acts 27:9 “Now when much time was spent, and when sailing was now dangerous, because the Fast (G3521) was now already past” (7th month,10th day: Atonement). (“Fast” was capitalized for you to show its significance.)
I Corinthians 5:8 therefore let us keep the Feast...with the unleavened bread of sincerity and truth. (Unleavened Bread)
10:1-4; and 16b The bread that we break is it not a sharing in the body of Messiah (ISR)
1 Cor. 11:20-34 When ye come together therefore into one place, this is not to eat the YaHVaH’s supper. 21 For in eating every one taketh before other his own supper: and one is hungry, and another is drunken. 22 What? have ye not houses to eat and to drink in? or despise ye the church of Elohim, and shame them that have not? What shall I say to you? shall I praise you in this? I praise you not.
For I have received of the YaHVaH that which also I delivered unto you, That the YaHVaH Messiah the same night in which he was betrayed took bread: 24 And when he had given thanks, he brake it, and said, Take, eat: this is my body, which is broken for you: this do in remembrance of me. 25 After the same manner also he took the cup, when he had supped, saying, This cup is the new testament in my blood: this do ye, as oft as ye drink it, in remembrance of me. 26For as often as ye eat this bread, and drink this cup, ye do show the YaHVaH’s death till he come.
27 Wherefore whosoever shall eat this bread, and drink this cup of the YaHVaH, unworthily, shall be guilty of the body and blood of the YaHVaH. 28 But let a man examine himself, and so let him eat of that bread, and drink of that cup. 29 For he that eateth and drinketh unworthily, eateth and drinketh damnation to himself, not discerning the YaHVaH’s body. 30 For this cause many are weak and sickly among you, and many sleep. 31 For if we would judge ourselves, we should not be judged. 32 But when we are judged, we are chastened of the YaHVaH, that we should not be condemned with the world. 33 Wherefore, my brethren, when ye come together to eat, tarry one for another. 34 And if any man hunger, let him eat at home; that ye come not together unto condemnation. And the rest will I set in order when I come.
16:1-2 Upon the first day of the week (Sunday) let everyone of you lay by him in store as YAH has prospered him, that there be no gathering when I come. (Food collection for the saints, not a Sabbath day)
16:8 But I will tarry at Ephesus until Pentecost. (35-37 years after the resurrection.)
Hebrews 4:4 For he spake in a certain place of the Seventh day on this wise, And Elohim did rest the seventh day from all his works. 5 And in this place again, If they shall enter into my rest. 6 Seeing therefore it remaineth that some must enter therein, and they to whom it was first preached entered not in because of unbelief: 7 Again, he limiteth a certain day, saying in David, To day, after so long a time; as it is said, To day if ye will hear his voice, harden not your hearts. 8 For if Messiah had given them rest, then would he not afterward have spoken of another day. 9 There remaineth therefore a rest to the people of Elohim. 10 For he that is entered into his rest, he also hath ceased from his own works, as Elohim did from his.
11 Let us labour therefore to enter into that rest, lest any man fall after the same example of unbelief.
FEAST OF TRUMPETS
1 Thessalonians 4:15-18 For this we say unto you by the word of YaHVaH, that we which are alive and remain unto the coming of YaHVaH shall not prevent them which are asleep. 16 For YaHVaH himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of YaH: and the dead in Messiah shall rise first: 17 Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet YaHVaH in the air: and so shall we ever be with YaHVaH. 18 Wherefore comfort one another with these words.
REVELATION 11:15 “And the SEVENTH Messenger blasted..The kingdoms of this world are become the kingdoms of YaHVaH and of His Messiah; and He shall reign for ever and ever.” This is likely the time of the Resurrection of the Saints.
Day of Atonement found in:
Acts 27 (above, “The Fast”)
Revelation 20:1-3 with Leviticus 16:21-29 (The Escape Goat)
That Last Great Day – Shemini Atzeret
John 6:39, 40 “..and I will raise him up at the Last Day.”
John 7:2 (HalleluYah Scriptures) “And the Festival of the YaHudim was near, the Festival of Sukkoth.”
John 7:37 In the Last Day, that great day of the feast, Messiah stood and cried, saying, If any man thirst, let him come unto me, and drink. 38 He that believeth on me, as the scripture hath said, out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water.
IsaiYah 25:6-9
John 13 - Messiah at the Passover
Now before the feast of the Passover, when Messiah knew that his hour was come that he should depart out of this world unto the Father, having loved his own which were in the world, he loved them unto the end.
IsaiYah 66:22 – Sabbath days, New Moons: future event.
For as the new heavens and the new earth, which I will make, shall remain before me, saith the YAHVAH, so shall your seed and your name remain. 23 And it shall come to pass, that from one new moon to another, and from one sabbath to another, shall all flesh come to worship before me, saith the YAHVAH.
ZechariYah 14 All flesh shall go up from year to year (in the millennium) to keep the Feast of Tabernacles.
Ezekiyl 46 – New Moons, Feasts in future
Likewise the people of the land shall worship at the door of this gate before YaHVaH in the Sabbaths AND in the New Moons. Also found Numbers 28:11)
Colossians 2:16
Let no man therefore judge you in meat, or in drink, or in respect of an (holyday) Feastday, or of the new moon, or of the Sabbath days: 17 Which are a shadow of things to come; but the body is of Messiah.
Correcting sentence:
Let no man therefore judge you [BUT THE BODY OF MESSIAH] in meat, or in drink, or in respect of an (holyday) Feastday, or of the new moon, or of the Sabbath days: 17 Which are a shadow of things to come (not were a shadow of things to come).
ISR Version Let no one therefore judge you in eating or in drinking or in respect of a Feast Day or a New Moon or Sabbaths-which are [not WERE] a shadow of things to come – but the body of Messiah. (from Institute of Scripture Research)
{This is NOT an inclusive list of all future Feasts. It does not include all of Scripture references as Matthew, Mark, Luke, nor most of John.}
Some Gospel Feasts:
Luke 2:1-2; Matthew/MattitYahu 2:1-12 Messiah Tabernacled with us at Sukkot/Tabernacles
Luke 3:23; John/Yochanan 2:18-20 YaHOSHA Messiah begins His ministry before Passover/Pesach.
Luke 4:16-21 Messiah proclaims Jubilee year, the Eightieth Jubilee from Adam. Leviticus 25:8-10
Yohochanan 2;13; 6:39; 7:2-37 Last Great Day; Passover; 11:55
Those are the Feasts in the Renewed Testament.
The old and renewed Testament agrees. Ephesians 2:10 “We are His workmanship, created in YaHOSHA unto Good Works (commandments, statues and judgments and YaHOSHA).
Philippians 4:9 (Paul is speaking) Those things which you have learned and received and heard, and seen in me, do.
Shalom for now, TsephanYah@YaHVaHYahweh.Name
