Jew and Gentile (Synagogue and Church), one in Messiah. (Ephesians 2:14)

If your life is not in jeopardy for what you believe, you’re probably on the wrong side!
“Indeed, all who want to live a godly life united with the Messiah Yeshua will be persecuted.” (2Tim 3:12)
It is what you actually believe that determines how you walk out your faith, “but avoid stupid controversies, genealogies, quarrels and fights about the Torah; because they are worthless and futile.” (Titus 3:9)

Moadim (Holy Days)[1]
God’s Appointed Times

Leviticus 23: These are My feasts

God said, “Let there be lights in the dome of the sky to divide the day from the night; let them be for signs, seasons, days, and years; and let them be for lights in the dome of the sky to give light to the earth"; and that is how it was. (Gen 1:14-15)

In the Torah [Leviticus 23] God has decreed seven “appointed times” for all His people, both Jew and non-Jew, to appear before Him in corporate holy assembly: Shabbat, Pesach, Matzah, Firstfruits, Shavuot, Yom Kippur, and Sukkot. He said that these are to be the “designated times of Yehovah that you are to proclaim as holy convocations” and that they are to be observed by all His people as “a permanent regulation, generation after generation.” (To these, the Jewish people have added two additional holidays, Purim and Chanukkah, but they are not “holy” days.)

The Church argues that these days are “holidays of the Jews,” yet the Bible clearly calls them “the appointed feasts of Yehovah” (Lev. 23:2; 2Chron. 2:4). Daniel prophesied that the Antichrist “will speak words against the Most High and oppress the holy ones of the Most High. He will intend to change religious festivals and laws…” (Daniel 7:25).

In the spirit of Antichrist, the Church has decided that what God has commanded is simply not important and refuses to honor the times of worship that He has designated; the Church presumes that He should be satisfied with their showing up uninvited on Sunday, Christmas, and Easter, all of which are totally pagan in origin. “Do not be deceived, God is not mocked; for whatever a man sows, this he will also reap” (Galatians 6:7, NASB).
