I have been publishing my annual teaching on the Spring festivals established by God for His people to observe. That on-going teaching can be found at
A list of related topics on the Anshey Brit Chadasha web site.
However, if anyone is interested,we can discuss the relevance of these festivals to Gentile Christians on these boards.
For example, what is the relationship between the Passover and Jesus? What is the Fast of the First Born and the Feast of First Fruits? How is it that when the girls went to the tomb, it could never have been on a Sunday - ever (The Complete Jewish Bible rendering not withstanding)! How is it that this year the Christian community could celebrate the resurrection of Jesus a full month before He was crucified? (That is a little like celebrating your birthday a month before you were born.) Why should one even consider counting the Omer (a unit measure)? And,what is so hot about celebrating the Festival of Shavu'ot?
All of those holidays are just Jewish festivals, holidays, or holy days, aren't they? Answer: Nope! Only one of these observances is actually a Jewish/Hebrew observance/celebration.
I am late in bringing this subject to this forum - sorry, because today, at sunset we have the start of the Day of Preparation, the 14th of Nissan, which according to tradition is also the Shabbat HaGadol (
Joh 19:31). So, if we get off into these discussions, we will most likely be running my usual day late and a dollar short trick.
Post away if you're interested - or, just ignore it if you are not interested.
