why does the prophet say that we will be observing something that has been abolilshed, simply don't make sense to me.
Here's the fulfillment.
Jn. 20:19 Then the same day (Sunday) at evening, being the first [day] of the week, when the doors were shut where the disciples were assembled for fear of the Jews, came Jesus and stood in the midst, and saith unto them, Peace [be] unto you.
v24 But Thomas, one of the twelve, called Didymus, was not with them when Jesus came.
v25 The other disciples therefore said unto him, We have seen the Lord. But he said unto them, Except I shall see in his hands the print of the nails, and put my finger into the print of the nails, and thrust my hand into his side, I will not believe.
v26 And after eight days again his disciples were within, and Thomas with them: [then] came Jesus, the doors being shut, and stood in the midst, and said, Peace [be] unto you.
v27 Then saith he to Thomas, Reach hither thy finger, and behold my hands; and reach hither thy hand, and thrust [it] into my side: and be not faithless, but believing.
Sunday to Sunday counting inclusively is 8 days. Peace to you on the first and last day. Rom. 14:11 For it is written, [As] I live, saith the Lord, every knee shall bow to me, and every tongue shall confess to God.
so, do we still have to keep the feast of tabernacles?
What about it? That is the Jew's Scriptures so ask themwhat about zech 14:16-19?
so, do we still have to keep the feast of tabernacles?
Will the Jews and those left from the Great Supper of God [Ezekiel 39:17/Reve 19:17] have to come to Jerusalem to keep the Passover and FeastsWe are keeping it. The symbol, the shadow was fulfilled in Christ, if one believes. We dwell/tabernacle in Him and He in us.
It seems to me, for those who reject Christ, that 8th day will come later. See Rev and the 1000 years and the first and second resurrections and the symbolism of the three feast harvests of OT. John lived in the 5th of 7 Lord's Day. We are in the 6th. Then the 7th. Then the 8th.
If the first fruits are holy, then ... See Heb. 11.
Hope that helps a bit.
Zechariah 14:16-19 ( KJV ) 16And it shall come to pass, that every one that is left of all the nations which came against Jerusalem shall even go up from year to year to worship the King, the LORD of hosts, and to keep the feast of tabernacles. 17And it shall be, that whoso will not come up of all the families of the earth unto Jerusalem to worship the King, the LORD of hosts, even upon them shall be no rain. 18And if the family of Egypt go not up, and come not, that have no rain; there shall be the plague, wherewith the LORD will smite the heathen that come not up to keep the feast of tabernacles. 19This shall be the punishment of Egypt, and the punishment of all nations that come not up to keep the feast of tabernacles.
in these verses of zechariah, the time setting is the key to me. everyone knows that this passage is talking about a time that is yet future, after the second coming of Christ even!

Rotherham) Zechariah 14:16 And it shall come to pass, that, as for every one that is left out of all the nations that came against Jerusalem, that they shall come up, from year to year, to bow down to the king, Yahweh of hosts, and to celebrate the festival of booths.

The word "booth" in NT/NC
Do you mean like this?
1 Cor. 5:8 Therefore let us keep the feast, not with old leaven, neither with the leaven of malice and wickedness; but with the unleavened [bread] of sincerity and truth.
or this-
John 7:37 In the last day, that great [day] of the feast (booths), Jesus stood and cried, saying, If any man thirst, let him come unto me, and drink.
Which other Denominations view it that way, and would the OP consider SDAs and MJs as "anathema" since they observe the Sabbath? Just curious. ThanksThe Catholic Church consider that the honour that the Jews gave to the Saturday, shall be given to the Sunday, because Sunday is the day of the risen and the day of the apparitions of Christ to the apostoles.
So on Sunday we have to go to Church to Mass, and we should not do servile works
About anathema, you can remind the use made by St Paul: (Gal 1:9): "If any one preach to you a gospel besides that which you have received, let him be anathema." (so it means accursed, overwhelmed with maledictions)
PS the council of Laodicea was not an Ecumenic Council, but simply a local Council, and so its canons are not strictly mandatory or infallible for us
Canon 29 of the Council of Laodicea (ca. A.D. 360) explicitly condemns the veneration of the Sabbath and enjoins working on such a day in order to show a special respect for Sunday:
Source: CHURCH FATHERS: Synod of Laodicea (4th Century)
Which churches believe this today?
Roman Catholic?
Eastern Orthodox?
Any others?
What does anathema mean in this canon?
"in order to show a special respect for Sunday:" What it really does is show a special disrespect to God and for His Holy Sabbath!
"Any others?" Of course, all of her daughters who submit to this pagan practice.
It is good to see some pure truth does show up on this forum from time to time.

I didn't know the apostle Paul, early Christians and the bible were pagan. The records Christians gathering for worship on the first day of the week, Sunday.
Jesus rose on the first day of the week, Sunday.
