Month: January 2017

I am a hard-to-convince person who requires lots of hard evidence before I will accept something. I fought against keeping the feasts long and hard – for about ten years! But one by one I realized my arguments against the feasts were not solid. Continue reading “How I Began Keeping the Feasts”

“In the midst of the street of it, and on either side of the river, was there the tree of life, which bare twelve manner of fruits, and yielded her fruit every month [Greek: New Moon]: and the leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations.” (Rev 22:2) Continue reading “What Will New Moon Be Like in Heaven?”

I first encountered the lunar sabbath idea back in 2009. I studied quite a bit about it, read quite a few of their articles and talked with some of the main advocates of the idea. I would like to share a summary of what I found in my research. This is only meant to be a summary. There are many other, more detailed websites and books on the topic, of which I’ll list a few at the end. I’m just trying to write a short article, not a book! 🙂

I once thought the feasts were a side issue brought in by Satan to distract people, and argued against them for about 10 years. But when I was finally convinced that they should be kept, I realized a whole different perspective on their value. I had studied their meaning a lot before that and I knew all about them, but it wasn’t until I actually started doing them that I was really able to start seeing the feasts in their fullness.

1 King 12:26-33 “And Jeroboam (whose name means: “the people will contend”) said in his heart, Now shall the kingdom return to the house of David (whose name means “loving”): if this people go up to do sacrifice in the house of the LORD at Jerusalem (the “city of peace”), then shall the heart of this people turn again unto their lord, even unto Rehoboam king of Judah, and they shall kill me, and go again to Rehoboam king of Judah.  Continue reading “A Prophecy in the Story of Amos and Jeroboam”

God has created the sun and moon to govern His special appointed times (see Gen. 1:14; Ps. 104:19, “seasons”=”appointed times”, H4150). God gives us a list of His appointed times in Leviticus 23. Notice that it says, “These are My feasts (Heb. “appointed times”, H4150). These appointed times belong to Him. Continue reading “Special Events That Occurred During the Appointed Times”

Some Christians have interpreted the third and fourth chapter of Hebrews to mean that the Sabbath has been done away.  The truth is that no such teaching can be found in these chapters, and in fact Hebrews 4:9 confirms the Sabbath. Continue reading “The Sabbath Confirmed in Hebrews 4:9”

“Only those who have read carefully the history of the growth of papal power will ever know how powerfully the controversy concerning Easter served in the hands of the bishops of Rome.” (B.G. Wilkinson, Ph. D., Truth Triumphant) Continue reading “What Was the Easter Controversy?”

This is a parable of a man named Joshua; his bride, Christiana; and two evil characters named Anomos and Papalin who have conspired to break up their marriage. Continue reading “What? Abolish Our Anniversaries??”
