Overview
Our Father in Heaven created the biblical feast days in preparation for Jesus’ first advent and the Second Advent that is yet to come. When Jesus was here his birth advents and his crucifixion events did fulfill Feast Day laws documented by Moses and that is how the Israelites knew that it was their kinsman redeemer who had come for them. The Israelites were waiting for Jesus to come and after his death on Passover they knew it was him who had fulfilled the feast day laws as stated.
“Do not think that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets. I am not come to destroy, but to fulfill. For amen I say unto you, till heaven and earth pass, one jot, or one tittle shall not pass of the law, till all be fulfilled. He therefore that shall break one of these least commandments, and shall so teach men, shall be called the least in the kingdom of heaven. But he that shall do and teach, he shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven.” DR Mat 5:17-19
Jesus tells us clearly above that the laws of Moses are in effect until the kingdom of heaven comes. Since the kingdom of heaven has not yet come to the earth, we know the laws still must be followed. Jesus stated he came to fulfill the law; however, nowhere does it state that he fulfilled all the laws of Moses. Jesus only fulfilled the laws that he planned to fulfill during the first advent and will fulfill the rest of the Feast Day laws when he returns.
Our Father in Heaven’s Feast Days
Our Father in Heaven made appointments with us to keep the feast days. We are to keep these feast days as a sign of being HIS people plus they were put in place to ensure that HIS people would be ready for Jesus’ return. Many of the feast days should still be considered prophecy since they are yet to come. Only by studying and doing HIS feast days will you be ready and not be miss-lead by an anti-Christ person. Most of these feast state they are to be observed perpetually meaning for ever. Here are some of the verses where HE states these feasts are perpetual:
“And ye shall keep this commandment, for on this day will I bring out your force out of the land of Egypt; and ye shall make this day a perpetual ordinance for you throughout your generations.” Exo 12:17
“And ye shall not eat bread, or the new parched corn, until this same day, until ye offer the sacrifices to your God: it is a perpetual statute throughout your generations in all your dwellings.” Lev 23:14
“And ye shall call this day a convocation: it shall be holy to you; ye shall do no servile work on it: it is a perpetual ordinance throughout your generations in all your habitations.” Lev 23:21
“Ye shall do no manner of work: it is a perpetual statute throughout your generations in all your habitations.” Lev 23:31
“It is a perpetual statute for your generations: in the seventh month ye shall keep it.” Lev 23:41
The feast day laws are not an invitation to attend; they are a law that all men especially must attend for the Unleavened bread feast, the Feast of Weeks, and the Feast of Tabernacles. These three feasts are not to be celebrated at home.
“Three times in the year shall every male of thine appear before the Lord the God of Israel.” Exo 34:23
“Three times in the year shall all thy males appear before the Lord thy God in the place which the Lord shall choose in the feast of unleavened bread, and in the feast of weeks, and in the feast of tabernacles: thou shalt not appear before the Lord thy God empty.” Deu 16:16
The feast days in the laws of Moses are Christian Israelite Holy Feat Days that must be celebrated as the new Christ believing Apostles from the tribe of Benjamin did at the appointed times that our Father in Heaven declared. The book ‘Writings of Falvius Josephus’ also records that the tribes did celebrate the feast day after Jesus’ crucifixion. The apostles also taught to continue observing the feast days.
Sabbath Rest Day
The Sabbath rest day is a weekly holy day that occurs every Saturday. One of the signs of being His chosen people is following the Sabbath Day laws. These links provide more information.

Christian Israelite Festivals
Below are the feast days required of all Christian Israelites by the laws of Moses plus the new feast days that started as a result of Jesus’ life and crucifixion. The feasts or festivals that started after Jesus was crucified that are not in our bibles since these traditions were establish after the New Testament was written. These festivals are to honor what Jesus did for us and should be considered Christian even though they are not in our bibles. They were started to honor Jesus Christ and the activities performed on these days should be conducted in a biblical matter. I plan to honor all of them at minimum with prayer. Those with families at home might want to observe with a special family dinner and prayer.
The feasts in red below are feast required by our Father in Heaven as documented in the laws of Moses. They all start at dawn except for Passover and the Day of Atonement; scriptures state these two feast start in the evening.
