THE FEASTS THAT JESUS CELEBRATED HAVE A MEANING STILL AND HAVE BEEN KEPT BY EARLY BELIEVERS These Believers were by intrigue and persecution killed by the Romans whose spiritual beginning was Simon the sorcerer whom then we find in Acts 8 where he was confronted by Apostel Shimeon who gave him a prophecy that he would be a gall of bitterness. Acts 8:23 . For I perceive that you are for gall of bitterness Deu 29:16-18 This is a Hebrew Idiom, for Idol worship of the Babylonian kind. His doctrine became a castrated Christianity for the ordinary people (exotheric) and hidden mysteries for the leaders (esotheric) like Tiberius, Gaius, Claudius and Nero and his priests received. The successor of his double minded teachings became the Roman Church which also not less contains a murderous history. You find all these secret initiations in all the roman paid church fathers. For more info read the book Morals and Dogma Please do be careful this is freemason stuff and full of mistakes and lies. So you see Satans fury against God who reveals HIS way to us. Let us go in HIS way instead of man made religion. Read Colossians 2:16; in your own bible 1. What nation or people were the feasts given to?
Leviticus 23:1-2 And YEHOVA spake unto Moses, saying, Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, Concerning the feasts of YEHOVA, which ye shall proclaim to be holy convocations, even these are my feasts. ...
The feasts were given to the nation of Israel, as part of their guidance and appointed times with GOD, a dress rehearsal, to be celebrated each year and we see Gods purpose in them as 4 Spring time feasts are fulfilled already in the 1st coming of Yeshua and 3 Autumn feasts will be fulfilled at his 2nd coming.
Jer 12:16 And it shall come to pass, if they will diligently learn the ways of my people, to swear by my name, YEHOVA liveth;... then shall they be built in the midst of my people.

The Three "Must Come Feasts" of God, Exodus 23:14-17
Three times thou shalt keep a feast unto me in the year. -Thou shalt keep the feast of unleavened bread: (thou shalt eat unleavened bread seven days, as I commanded thee, in the time appointed of the month Abib; for in it thou camest out from Egypt: and none shall appear before me empty:) -And the feast of harvest, the firstfruits of thy labours, which thou hast sown in the field: -and the feast of ingathering, which is in the end of the year, when thou hast gathered in thy labours out of the field. Three times in the year all thy males shall appear before יהוה YEHOVA God. That is for 1 Passover --> Yeshua died for you personally 2 Pentecost --> you need to receive Yeshua's spirits personally 3 Tabernacles --> you need to get raptured personally
You may say I did not come out of Egypt so it is not valid for me, but think! In Rev 11:8 Jerusalem is called Sodom and Egypt, so spiritual Egypt can be anywhere it is just a simily for a behaviour of this world and that is the place from which God has taken you out of slavery to be in HIS place that is called Jerusalem (foundation of eternal peace). So you need to appear before GOD in SPIRIT AND TRUTH to worship HIM on that feast. (John 4:23ff ...now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth:...) Are believers of the Messiah Yeshua told to keep the feasts today?
This question needs to be seen in the context of what kind of feasts "Believers" are keeping nowadays. The nowadays church has gone far away from God, serving business or roman cults just to mention X-mas and the Easter bunny. Useless stuff where there is no gain in it, (Jer16:19) apart from the presents. There are no warnings to keep away from these feasts of YeHoVaH because they are for our edification even though some will tell you the opposite by quoting the letter to the Galatians. But... read it carefully! Galatians 4:8ff ..., ye did service unto them which by nature are no gods. These were obviously from pagan background and not Jewish at all. For them to go back to "observe days, and months, and times, and years." meant to observe times of a man made religion in opposite of GODs calendar.
To those at Colossae Paul wrote: Colossians 2:16-17 Let no man therefore judge you in meat, or in drink, or in respect of an holyday (Shabaton) , or of the new moon, or of the sabbath days: Which are a shadow of things to come; but the body is of the Messiah.... read further in your Bible. because it is better to learn from the shadows of God's light to get to know what is to come than to be beguiled of those worshipping Angels or other things or persons but not Yeshua whom they could worship in HIS feasts which HE will fulfill like HE has done it with the spring feasts. So better be for Yeshua and serve HIM well. Judge yourself: Is it better to keep the useless feasts of the world which may be nice, like Halloween and Valentine’s day and a lot more with occult backgrounds which have nothing to do with GOD at all nor are they worshipping HIM. Or maybe you could learn from God and honor HIM through HIS feasts letting yourself not be judged by people that serve not GOD's will even they tell you they are Christians but in fact are locked away from GOD into the deceit of this world and its way of living. 1 Corinthians 5:7-8 Purge out therefore the old leaven, that ye may be a new lump, as ye are unleavened. For even the Messiah our passover is sacrificed for us: Therefore let us (not?) keep the feast,... better follow that what the original Scripture says.
CHALLENGE: It is also for you!
