God's feast days are missing on the Christian calendar. Many Gentile believers regard them as outdated, insignificant Jewish rituals. That is unfortunate because they miss the fullness and beauty of God's plan of redemption, reflected in His appointed times. The Old Testament feasts were dress rehearsals for the two greate.stevents in history –the first and second coming of Yahu’shua Ha'Mashiach.{{ Dear Friends and Fellow Servants }}}We are living in extraordinary times. Today, just as in the days of Isaiah, truth is fallen in the street; and judgment is turned away backward. On every front the truths of scripture are arrogantly disparaged while the wisdom and pagan customs of man is exalted and received as authoritative, and without question. We have a choice. We can choose the feast days instituted by YHWH or the holidays substituted by men. The choices we make affect our destiny and impact our relationship with our Creator.
'These are the feasts of the Lord, holy convocations which you shall proclaim at their appointed times.
The first four of the Seven Feasts of the Lord have already been fulfilled. They were fulfilled in spectacular fashion. They were fulfilled right on the auspicious Hebrew calendar dates on which they have been celebrated in times past, the same dates that will be celebrated forever more. The three spring feasts were fulfilled by Jesus our Saviour. And the summer Feast of Pentecost was fulfilled as well. It was fulfilled by the Holy Spirit 2,000 years ago. Here is the situation so far.
SPRING FEASTS
1. Passover Fulfilled! (By Jesus/Yeshua at His crucifixion on Nisan 14 in the spring of 32 A.D.)
2. Feast of Unleavened Bread Fulfilled! (By Jesus/Yeshua at His burial in the tomb on Nisan 15 in the spring of 32 A.D.)
3. Feast of Firstfruits Fulfilled! (By Jesus/Yeshua at His Resurrection on Nisan 17 in the spring of 32 A.D.)
4. Feast of Pentecost Fulfilled! (By the Holy Spirit on the Day of Pentecost on Sivan 7 in the summer of 32 A.D.)- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - (A gap of 2000 years or so has allowed the Light of Israel to . go forth into the nations for the Gentiles to be evangelized- - - - - - - - WE ARE HERE - - - - - - - - - Now here come the Fall Feasts.

FALL FEASTS
5. The Feast of Trumpets Unfulfilled ....(as of yet).
6. The Day of Atonement Unfulfilled ....(as of yet).
7. The Feast of TabernaclesUnfulfilled ....(as of yet). Tishrei 15 will come five days after that final epic Day of Atonement. This will mark the coming of Messiah to tabernacle with His covenant people. Thus begins the long awaited 1000 year Millennium of Messiah.
Deuteronomy/12:30 Take heed to thyself that thou be not snared by following them, after that they be destroyed from before thee; and that thou inquire not after their gods, saying, How did these nations serve their gods? even so will I do likewise.12:31 Thou shalt not do so unto the LORD thy God: for every abomination to the LORD, which he hateth, have they done unto their gods.
Over the last two millennia, traditional Christianity has systematically laid aside the "feast days of the Lord" and established its own holidays. Christmas was established to enable pagan converts to come into church fellowship without forsaking their heathen customs and practices. Easter is a replacement for the biblical Passover and Days of Unleavened Bread.
Even the weekly Sabbath was abandoned in favor of Sunday, the pagan day of the sun, supposedly to commemorate Jesus' resurrection , it took place not on Sunday morning but at the end of the weekly Sabbath at sunset Saturday).
Although we should immediately recognize that overruling God's instructions is dangerous behavior, let's consider, from the biblical record, whether such inventions and alterations are acceptable worship to our Creator God.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zWY2QNxF-0Y
