Feast Days And Sabbath Days. Are They Still Binding?

The Covenant of Grace was first made with man in Eden, when after the Fall there was given a Divine Promise that the seed of the woman should bruise the serpent’s head. To all men this Covenant offered pardon and the assisting grace of ELOHIM for future obedience through faith in the MESSIAH. It also promised them eternal life on condition of fidelity to ELOHIM’S Law. Thus the patriarchs received the hope of salvation. Though this Covenant was made with Adam and renewed to Abraham, it could not be ratified until the death of the MESSIAH. It had existed by the promise of ELOHIM since the first intimation of Redemption had been given; it had been accepted by faith; yet when ratified by the MESSIAH, it is called a new Covenant. The Law of ELOHIM was the basis of this Covenant, which was simply an arrangement for bringing men again into harmony with the Divine Will, placing them where they could obey ELOHIM’S Law. PP p. 370, 371​

Promise: A declaration assuring that one will or will not do something; a vow. www.thefreedictionary.com

Vow: An earnest promise to perform a specified act or behave in a certain manner, www.thefreedictionary.com​

As you can see you do not understand what a Covenant is at all! The first Covenant or Promise was made in the Garden to Adam and Eve is this:​

And ELOHIM blessed them, and ELOHIM said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth. And ELOHIM said, Behold, I have given you every herb bearing seed, which is upon the face of all the earth, and every tree, in the which is the fruit of a tree yielding seed; to you it shall be for meat. Gen 1:28, 29 (Here is the Promise)

And YAHWEH ELOHIM Commanded the man, saying, Of every tree of the garden thou mayest freely eat: But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die. Gen 2:16, 17 (Here is the Condition they must keep under the Promise, HIS COMMADMENT)​

My Covenant will I not break, nor alter the thing that is gone out of MY Lips. Psa 89:34

The original Covenant and Promise and the Condition were broken and the penalty require by the Law meant death through the shedding of blood!​

For this is MY Blood of the New Testament, which is shed for many for the remission of sins. Mat 26:28 ​

Whom ELOHIM hath set forth to be a propitiation through faith in HIS Blood, to declare HIS Righteousness for the remission of sins that are past, through the forbearance of ELOHIM; Rom 3:25​

In whom we have Redemption through HIS Blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of HIS Grace; Eph 1:7 ​

And almost all things are by the Law purged with blood; and without shedding of blood is no remission. Heb 9:22 ​

For it is not possible that the blood of bulls and of goats should take away sins. Heb 10:4 ​

Now the ELOHIM of Peace, that brought again from the dead our MASTER YAHSHUA, that GREAT SHEPHERD of the sheep, through the blood of the Everlasting Covenant, Heb 13:20 ​

You see Castaway what makes it hard for you to understand that all these words are connected together; Covenant, Promise, and Grace which are enshroud by the Law and Commandments. When you can see that by obeying and loving ELOHIM with all of your heart, souls and strength and also your neighbor these are the two principles of ELOHIM full requirement universally. It was Satan the "shining one," known as "demon" or "god," "the invoke one," he is monotheistic who wants all to worship him not his angels but him! He has attempted to take the Christians' lie that the THREE SUPREME BEINGS who work together but are INDIVIDUDAL BEINGS to be some three personality of him. You just do not get it, he has four heads in his one body and he wants you to worship him. When he failed in Heaven, he was allowed to openly dispute his case before the Universe. We are not the only beings that were created EGW wrote that she visited Enoch on another planet. Adam was giving the exact same Covenant but when he breached the contract there is a penalty and only Grace can pardon. But the act of sin was to be meted out because the Law requires it. You think that you only need the MESSIAH, how cannot you see that the SON came to vindicate HIS FATHER'S Law! The FATHER'S Law is the FATHER'S Character which is Justice, Mercy and Honor all wrapped up together!​

YASHUA'S last prayer to HIS FATHER stated clearly that HE had kept HIS Commands and did what HE sent HIM to do! And that is to fulfil the Law because not letter of the FATHER'S Law can or will be changed. You do not understand that Paul or no man can change the FATHER'S Law nothing that comes out of HIS Mouth can be altered. The FATHER Said that these are HIS Holy Appointed Set Time and man will attempt to change them, but you won't and can't. You can set up fake or false unholy set times, like Christmas, Easter, Halloween, Valentine, New Year, Whitsunday, and the weekly Sunday but HIS Statutes that is HIS Word which is HIS Covenant and you, nor the Papacy can change it. One day before it is too late I hope you be given the chance to see what is being said to you. I hope that you take heed because it is not us who you resist but the very ONE you claim to serve, you deny!

I love you and continue to pray that your eyes will be open to the truth of YAHWEH'S Magnificent Law and Commandments.​

Blessings to you always,

No you dont, but it doesnt matter if you do either. We are not discussing that here. Gen 3:15 was a promise made by God - period.

Castaway:

When a person cannot discuss something it is because they cannot explain it. So they attempt to make claim that that is not what this topic is about. Yet it is because the Covenant contains all the Law and Commands as both the Ark of the Covenant in Heaven and the one hidden here on earth. Your excuse it to move away from reality and truth that you neither comprehend or understand. It is sad to me because the HOLY SPIRIT wants you to pray and receive true understanding of the FATHER'S Word. All mankind will have a chance very soon to accept the truth or disown it. We are running out of time and the only thing I can say to you is to go in peace. I have provided you with evidence but your heart refuses to accept it. So your eyes cannot see the truth and yes you have accepted a lie. You accept a lie that those who keep the Statutes are crazy, ok so be it. You're right and we are wrong in your eyes. Well I will keep them, the Unleavened Bread Week is coming and I will take YAHSHUA'S Supper as it suppose to be taken once a year. I will become baptized yearly as I have my foot wash and eat the bread and wine. Yes I will commit to another promise that I eat at the Welcome Table with all saved and my brothers and sister of all the worlds that have not sin. They will come to greet us and welcome Adam's saved children back home into the Universal Home of the ALMIGHTY ONES! Amen! I do love you and you cannot read my heart by the SAVIOR can.

Happy Sabbath with love always,

THE UNCHANGEABLE COVENANTS

IN the beginning it was God’s purpose that there should be uninterrupted communion between man and his Creator. He therefore made man in His own image, after His own likeness. Genesis 1:26. The one requirement that God made for uninterrupted continuance of this relationship, was obedience. But by one act of disobedience toward God, communion with Jehovah was lost, and we were made the bond slaves of Satan. At once God set Himself to free us from the bondage of sin. The fact that we had by our own choice become disobedient, did not affect God’s purpose for us. He undertook to rescue us from the enslavement of the enemy, and to glorify Himself m our recovery from the power of disobedience. The story of His efforts on our behalf reveals that His purpose to do this has not only remained unchanged from the very beginning, but is also unchangeable.

Seven times God has entered into covenant relationship with man. A study of these covenants shows that the heart of God is set upon redeeming us from the hand of the enemy.

The story of these covenants is very interesting because it reveals limitless mercy and grace and longsuffering and changeless constancy on the part of God, and shameful failure and constantly recurring ingratitude on the part of mankind. Outstanding in this revelation is the glorious fact that notwithstanding our unreliability nothing will be permitted to overthrow God’s purpose to save us, or to change His attitude toward those who will accept His salvation.

To give us assurance both of the unchangeableness of His purpose toward its, and of the unfailing certainty of its fulfillment, He has made His covenants with us, placing Himself under oath to perform His covenanted promises to the very letter. In order to make this possible, He has given His only begotten Son to die at the hands of those He cam to save; He has accepted Christ’s obedient life as our life, that we in the Savior might be accepted of Him; and He has sent into our hearts the Holy Spirit to make us partakers of His own divine nature, and thus to bring us to Himself as sons.

The Scriptures clearly teach that there was a covenant between God and Christ relating to fallen man, for in Luke 22:29 (Witsius’s translation) we read: “I engage by covenant to You a kingdom, as My Father hath engaged by covenant unto Me!’ This covenant is understood to have been made from the foundation of the world. It embodied a purpose that would be performed through the Son of God. Of this the apostle Paul has said: “God hath saved us and called us with a holy calling, not according to our works, but according to His own purpose and grace, which was given us in Christ Jesus before the world began.” 2 Timothy 1:8,9.

In that covenant provision was made whereby man might receive eternal life. “In hope of eternal life, which God, that cannot lie, promised before the world began!” Titus 1:2. It also predestined us through Jesus Christ to become children of God. (See Ephesians 1:4.) It also foreordained the cleansing of man’s guilt by the precious blood of Jesus. “Forasmuch as you know that you were not redeemed with corruptible things as silver and gold, from your vain conversation received by tradition from your fathers. But with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot: who verily was foreordained before the foundation of the world!” 1 Peter 1:18-20.

It was on the terms of this covenant that God “gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believes in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life!” John 3:16. This covenant was the undertaking of God and Christ to deliver man by the plan of salvation. It established itself in the love of God for man, and in the love of Christ for His Father and for us His creatures. It provided for the Son of God to become the Son of man. It made a way whereby man, who had forfeited his right to life, who had sold himself for naught, and who had alienated himself completely from the life of God, might be made alive, redeemed from the enslavement of sin, brought again into the family of God, and made an heir of God and joint heir with Christ. But though it was made before the world began, it was ratified by the blood of the Son of God that was shed for us on Calvary.

Because of it, and in harmony with its purpose, atonement is made for man’s sins by Jesus Christ our Lord.

Passing by the covenants which God made with Adam and with Noah, we stop to notice the covenant that God made with Abraham. A good deal has been said about this covenant in the previous chapter. Therefore we should remind ourselves of its character and its provisions. It is the undertaking of God to perform, through the Seed of Abraham, what He had covenanted with the eternal Son to do for all the children of Adam. It followed acts in the life of Abraham that gave evidence of faith in God as the
Redeemer of His people. It was unconditional in its character, being dependent upon nothing that man could do, but looking toward and resting entirely upon the promised Seed.

Abraham’s first recorded act of faith was his obedience to the call of God to leave his country, his kindred, and his father’s house, to go to a strange and distant land. His second act of faith was when, without child, and without the possibility of children, as far as he could see, God led him forth and commanded him to look to heaven and see if he could number the stars, and assured him that as the number of the stars, so would his seed be; and Abraham believed God. Genesis 15:5, 6. The third and great act of faith in the life of Abraham was when he offered up Isaac. This was immediately followed by the Lord’s definitely promising, and confirming that promise with an oath, that through his seed all nations of the earth should be blessed. This promise was not made to be dependent upon Abraham’s future obedience, but was confirmed with the oath of God because Abraham had already obeyed God. Genesis 22:l8. Thus the fulfillment of the covenant depended not upon man’s works, but upon obedient faith in the promise and oath of Good.

Immediately after the promise of the seed wag given, the promise of an inheritance followed. “He said unto him, I am the Lord that brought thee out of Ur of the Chaldees, to give thee this land to inherit it!’ “In the same day the Lord made a covenant with Abram, saying, Unto thy seed have I given this land, from the river of Egypt unto the great river, the river Euphrates!” Genesis 15:7, 18.

Upon Abraham’s desiring assurance that he would indeed inherit the land, the Lord commanded him to take for God “a heifer of three years old, and a she goat of three years old, and a ram of three years old, and a turtledove, and a young pigeon. And he took unto him all these, and divided them in the midst, and laid each piece one against another: but the birds divided he not. And when the fowls came down upon the carcasses, Abram drove them away. And when the sun was going down, a deep sleep fell upon Abram; and, lo, a horror of great darkness fell upon him.” “And it came to pass, that, when the sun went down, and it was dark, behold a smoking furnace, and a burning lamp that passed between those pieces!” Genesis 15:9-12, 17.

The passing of Jehovah between the parts of this sacrifice confirmed the covenant with the most solemn form of oath known to the human mind. Authorities tell us that he who employed this form of oath to give confirmation to an agreement, passed between the divided carcass with hand uplifted, saying as he did so, “If I keep not this agreement, then let my life be as this creature between whose divided parts pass!” This is indeed a solemn form of oath. The importance and the greatness of this covenant are indicated by the means that God employed in thus giving assurance to Abraham. After this the Lord was able to say to Abraham, “By Myself have I sworn.” Because of this, Paul was able to write to the Hebrews: “God, willing more abundantly to show unto the heirs of promise the immutability of His counsel, interposed Himself by an oath [margin].

That by two immutable things, in which it was impossible for God to lie we might have a strong consolation, who have fled for refuge to lay hold upon the hope set before us!” Hebrews 6:17, 18. By this covenant Abraham was to be “the father of all them that believe.” He was to be blessed through the Seed. With him “they which be of faith” are also to be blessed. God was binding Himself by the covenant to perform through the Seed of Abraham-Christ-that which, before the world began, He had covenanted with the eternal Son to perform by Him for the deliverance of man. The fulfillment of its promises depends, not upon Abraham or his children of faith, but upon the immutable things of God. It embraces the whole plan of salvation, and assures us of all that Grace has purposed for us in Christ Jesus.

Paul in his words to the Galatians has reminded us that the covenant with Abraham was “confirmed of God in Christ,” and cannot be disannulled. It assures us of righteousness which is received, not by works, but by faith in Him with whom the Father has, from the beginning, covenanted for our redemption.

It was in fulfillment of His covenant with Abraham that God chose David from the sons of Jesse to be king over Israel, and determined that from the family of David the Seed should come. In recognition of this, David was able to say to the people of Israel: “The Lord God of Israel chose me before all the house of my father to be king over Israel forever.” 1 Chronicles 28:4. And again: “Now these be the last words of David: The Spirit of the Lord spoke by me, and His word was in my tongue. The God of Israel said, the Rock of Israel spoke to me, He that rules over men must be just, ruling in the fear of God. He hath made with me an everlasting covenant, ordered in all things and sure: this is all my salvation, and all my desire.” 2 Samuel 23:1-5.

As the promise was given to Abraham and confirmed by the oath of God, so was it also to David. “The Lord hath sworn in truth unto David; He will not turn from it: Of the fruit of, thy body will I set upon thy throne.” Psalm 132:11. “Once have I sworn by My holiness that I will not lie unto David. His seed shall endure forever, and his throne as the sun before Me. It shall be established forever as the moon, and as a faithful witness in heaven.” Psalm 89:35-37.

This promise of the throne to the seed of David was to embrace two phases of its occupancy, the temporal and the eternal. It is clear that David understood that the temporal occupancy of the throne of the kingdom was conditioned upon the behavior of its earthly occupants. “Thou, Solomon my son, know thou the God of thy father, and serve Him with a perfect heart and with a willing mind: for the Lord searches all hearts, and understands all the imaginations of the thoughts: if thou seek Him, He will be found of thee. But if thou forsake Him, He will cast thee off forever.” 1 Chronicles 28:9.

The disobedience of David’s descendants upon the throne of the kingdom resulted, as we very well know, in their loss of the temporal occupancy of the throne. But this has not changed the promise of God to David. There was provision for such a contingency in the terms of the covenant.

Clearly indicating that this is so, the Lord, through the prophet Isaiah, said: “Incline your ear, and come unto Me: hear, and your soul shall live; and I will make an everlasting covenant with you, even the sure mercies of David.

Behold, I have given him for a witness to the people, a leader and commander to the people, Behold, thou shall call a nation that thou knows not, and nations that knew not thee shall run unto thee because of the Lord thy God, and for the Holy One of Israel. For He hath glorified thee.” 55:3-5.

By this it is evident that the promises of God to David were to be made effectual through the gathering of a spiritual people, who of their own volition, because of the Lord and of His Christ, would come to seek acceptance as the people of the Lord. Over these a Prince of the house of David shall reign eternally, and of His kingdom there shall be no end. Of this Prince, Isaiah prophesied: “Unto us a Child is born, unto us a Son is given: and the government shall be upon His shoulder: and His name shall be called Wonderful, Counselor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Mince of Peace. Of the increase of His government and peace there shall be no end, upon the throne of David, and upon his kingdom, to order it, and to establish it with judgment and with justice from henceforth even forever. The zeal of the Lord of hosts will perform this!” Isaiah 9:6,7.

David himself prophesied that notwithstanding the wickedness of men, and the antagonism of rulers to God’s plan for a continuance of the kingdom through David, the Lord shall “speak unto them in His wrath, and vex them in His sore displeasure. Yet have I set My king upon My holy hill of Zion!” He represents the Lord as indicating who it is in whom the promise of the covenant centers, by saying: “I will declare the decree: the Lord hath said unto Me, Thou art My Son; this day have I begotten Thee. Ask of Me, and I shall give Thee the heathen for Your inheritance, and the uttermost parts of the earth for ‘thy possession!’ Psalm 2:5-8.

The covenant with David was unbreakable and unfailing. In its temporal aspects it was conditional, but in its eternal aspects it was unconditional. I depended not on David for its fulfillment, but upon God, who could not and would not fail to perform it. “Behold, the days come, said the Lord, that I will perform that good thing which I have promised unto the house of Israel and to the house of Judah. In those days, and at that time will I cause the Branch of righteousness to grow up and He shall execute judgment and righteousness, in the land. In those days shall Judah be saved, and Jerusalem shall dwell safely: and this is the name wherewith she shall he called, The Lord our righteousness. For thus said the Lord: David shall never want a man to sit upon the throne of the house of Israel. Thus said the Lord: If you can break My covenant of the day, and My covenant of the night, and that there should not be day and night in their season. Then may also My covenant be broken with David My servant, that he should not have a son, to reign upon his throne!” Jeremiah 33:14-21.

The Lord’s promises to David included the gathering Of God’s people from all lands of earth and the bringing of them to the inheritance. In the imagery of a flock with David as shepherd, the prophet Ezekiel has pictured for us the fulfillment of this feature of the covenant. By that prophecy we clearly see that all the work of the gospel that ‘is wrought through Christ in seeking and saying the lost of all peoples of the earth, is also in definite fulfillment of God’s covenant with Abraham.

Thus said the Lord God: Behold, I, even I, will both search My sheep, and seek them out. As a shepherd seeks out his flock in the day that he is among his sheep that are scattered; so will I seek out My sheep, and will deliver them out of all places where they have been scattered in the cloudy and dark day, And I will bring them out from the people, and gather them from the countries, and will bring them to their own land, and feed them upon the mountains of Israel by the rivers, and in all the inhabited places of the country. I will feed them in a good pasture, and upon the high mountains of Israel shall their fold be. There shall they lie in a good fold, and in a fat pasture shall they feed upon the mountains of Israel. I will feed My flock, and I will cause them to lie down, said the Lord God. I will seek that which was lost, and bring again that which was driven away, and will bind up that which was broken, and will strengthen that which was sick: but I will destroy the fat and the strong; I will feed them with judgment.”

“Therefore will I save My flock, and they shall no more be a prey; and I will judge between cattle and cattle. And I will set up one shepherd over them, and he shall feed them, even My servant David; he shall feed them, and he shall be their shepherd. And I the Lord will be their God, and My servant David a prince among them; I the Lord have spoken it!’ “And I will raise up for them a plant of renown, and they shall be no more consumed with hunger in the land, neither bear the shame of the heathen any more. Thus shall they know that I the Lord their God am with them, and that they, even the house of Israel, are My people, said the Lord God. And you My flock, the flock of My pasture, are men, and I am your God, said the Lord God.” Ezekiel 34:11-16, 22-24, 29-31.

In direct fulfillment of all this, Jesus the Son of God was born of Mary in Bethlehem of Judea. In order that His being born in the house of David should be clearly related to God’s promise to Abraham and David, the angel Gabriel made that very fact known in his announcement to Mary: “He shall be great, and shall be called the Son of the Highest: and the Lord God shall give unto Him the throne of His father David and He shall reign over the house of Jacob forever; and of His kingdom there shall be no end.” Luke
1:32,33.

This important fact, too, is clearly shown by the words of Zacharias, who, when filled with the Holy Ghost, prophesied of Jesus thus: “Blessed he the Lord God of Israel. For He hath visited and redeemed His people, and hath raised up a horn of salvation for us in the house of His servant David; to perform the mercy promised to our fathers, and to remember His holy covenant. The oath which He swore to our father Abraham.” Luke 1:68-73.

That Christ-was indeed the promised Seed of Abraham and of David, it proved not merely by His birth in the line of descent through Isaac, Jacob, Judah, and David, and not merely by the pronouncement of angels and of God from heaven of that great truth, and not even merely by the wonderful life that He lived in the flesh, demonstrating at every step of His experience that He was indeed the One of whom all the prophets since the world began had spoken; but His being the Seed of the promise was proved beyond an
question by His death and His resurrection from the dead. This is revealed in the fact that on the day of Pentecost the Holy Spirit used especially the facts of Christ’s death and resurrection to prove both David’s understanding of the covenant, and its fulfillment in Christ, the Seed of David. Observe this in the following verses:

“You men of Israel, hear these words: Jesus of Nazareth a Man approved of God among you by miracles and wonders and signs, which God did by Him in the midst of You, as, you yourselves also know Him, being delivered by the determinate counsel and foreknowledge of God, you have taken, and by wicked hands have crucified and slain. Whom God hath raised up, having loosed the pains of death. Because it was not possible that He should be held of it. For David speaks concerning Him, I foresaw the Lord always before my face, for He is on my right hand, that I should not be moved: therefore did my heart rejoice, and my tongue was glad. Moreover also my flesh shall rest in hope: because Thou wilt not leave my soul in hen, neither wilt Thou suffer Your Holy One to see corruption. Men and brethren, let me freely speak unto you of the patriarch David, that he is both dead and buried, and his sepulcher is with us unto this day.

Therefore, being a prophet, and knowing that God had sworn with an oath to him, that of the fruit of his loins, according to the flesh, He would raise up Christ to sit on his throne. He seeing this before spoke of the resurrection of Christ, that His soul was not left in hell, neither His flesh did see corruption. This Jesus bath God raised up, whereof we all are witnesses. Therefore being by the right hand of God exalted, and having received of the Father the promise of the Holy Ghost, He hath shed forth this which you now see and hear. For David is not ascended into the heavens: but he said himself, The Lord said unto my Lord, Sit Thou on My right hand, until I make Thy foes Thy footstool. Therefore let all the house of Israel know assuredly, that God hath made that same Jesus, whom you have crucified, both Lord and Christ.” Acts 2:22-36.

‘The covenants with both Abraham and David embodied, too, the outpouring of the Holy Spirit in witness to the fact of God’s acceptance of Christ for us. David, from his understanding of what the covenant involved, “spoke of the resurrection of Christ, that His soul was not left in hell, neither His flesh did see corruption.” Having received of the Father the promise of the Holy Spirit, having been raised from the dead, and having been “by the right hand of God exalted,” Christ poured forth the Holy Spirit in token
of His acceptance by the Father “for us,” and in witness of the fact that His priestly work of atonement had begun in heaven, and that “the blood of the covenant?” was being ministered in behalf of penitent sinners that the promise of the covenant concerning their sins might be fulfilled.

All through the centuries, as word upon word, line upon line, and prophecy after prophecy were added to the Scriptures, they continued, by prediction and promise and service and sacrifice, to point forward to something better, something in which the promises of God would reach their finality through One who in Himself would confirm all that God had covenanted to do, and who would save His people and would reign as Priest and King forever.

As time moved on, a new covenant was promised. This was to be a written covenant, not, however, on stone or brick or paper, but in the hearts of men, with the blood by which it is. confirmed, the Holy Spirit being the writer. “Behold, the days come, said the Lord, that I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel, and with the house of Judah: not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers in the day that I took them by the hand to bring them out of the land of Egypt. Which My covenant they brake, although I was a husband unto them, said the Lord: but this shall be the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel: After those days, said the Lord, I will put My law in their inward parts, and write it in their hearts; and will be their God, and they shall be My people. For I will forgive their iniquity, and I will remember their sin no more.” Jeremiah 31:31-34.

The great central truth of this covenant is salvation through the blood. Not through feast days, sacrifices of mankind or of sabbath days. These OT types are subordinated under the "once for all" Sacrifice of Jesus.

This “new covenant” is not so much in the nature of an agreement as of a testament. An agreement is a compact. A testament, or will, is an instrument by which disposal is made of things therein named. If we turn to Hebrews 9:15, we find that the idea of an agreement or compact does not appear in the new covenant, but that the idea of disposition is made prominent.

It was not so much in the nature of agreement between two parties but rather a disposition of the works of grace through Christ. It was God’s undertaking by His own free grace to perform for His people that which could be accomplished only by His voluntarily giving all for us. This He did in the gift of Christ. John 3:16. But in making disposition of the things of His grace, He “appointed” Jesus “heir of all things,” and His believing children “joint heirs with Christ!” Hebrews 1:2; Romans 8:17.

As Mediator of this new covenant, Christ has undertaken through His own death to transmit to the children of faith, as their, eternal inheritance, the eternal life, the eternal habitation, and the eternal blessings that God bad covenanted with Abraham and with David to give to their spiritual seed through Christ, the promised Seed.

The whole teaching of Scripture makes it clear that atonement by blood is necessary to the fulfillment of the everlasting covenant, in the provisions of which the sins of the people are remitted. At the last supper our Lord taught His disciples that the blood by which, under the new covenant, sins would be remitted was the blood that He was soon to shed on the cross of Calvary, saying, “This is My blood of the new testament, which is shed for many for the remission of sins.” Representing, as it did, His life of perfect
obedience to the will of the Father, and His death in satisfaction of the claims of the broken law, His blood alone could confirm such a covenant and provide for the remission of sins. In the provisions of that covenant, “the chastisement of our peace was upon Him; and with His stripes we are healed!”

The apostle Paul, addressing the Hebrews, has indicated that perfection in every good work under the new covenant is attainable only through “the blood of the everlasting covenant!” He explains that because under this covenant our sins are remitted, we have “boldness to enter into the holiest by the blood of Jesus.” “And having a High Priest over the house of God,” we may “draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith.” Hebrews 10:15-22. The assurance in the new covenant that God will be our God and
we shall be His people, is not to be passed by unnoticed. He has undertaken to cleanse us from that which alienated us from Him. Having brought us near through the blood of the covenant, He pledges that He will neither leave us nor permit us again to be separated from Him.

“Blessed be the Lord God of Israel. For He bath visited and redeemed His people, and bath raised up a horn of salvation for us in the house of His servant David. To perform the mercy promised to our fathers, and to remember His holy covenant; the oath which He swore to our father Abraham, that He would grant unto us, that we being delivered out of the hand of our enemies might serve Him without fear, in holiness and righteousness before Him, all the days of our life!” Luke 1:68-75.

The holiness here spoken of is provided in the new covenant. In it, too, we are assured of full deliverance from our enemies. Thank God for the victory that we have in Christ, so complete, indeed, that we may “serve Him without fear all the days of our life.”

Under the new covenant the gospel of God is to be carried to all nations and peoples and kingdoms and tongues, until “it shall come to pass, that in the place where it was said unto them, You are not My people, there it shall be said unto them, You are, the sons of the living God.” Hosea 1:10.
The day hastens when the covenanted promises of God will have reached their consummation. Then the heaven and the earth as we have known them will have passed away and a new earth and a new heaven will have been established.

At that time from out of the throne shall be heard a great voice, saying, “Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and He will dwell with them, and they shall be His people, and God Himself shall be with them, and be their God. And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and
there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away. And He that sat upon the throne said, Behold, I make all things new. And He said unto me, write: for these words are true and faithful!” Revelation 21:3-5.

When that glorious consummation is reached, when God’s redeemed children, remembering the oaths of the Lord which He swore unto our fathers, come before the throne of David in the glorious inheritance, they shall testify to the faithfulness of God, saying. “Blessed be the Lord, that hath given rest unto His people Israel, according to all that He promised: there hath not failed one word of all His good promise.” 1 Kings 8:56

All that talk about believing in EGW is just that talk. You went outside of the traditional beliefs of the SDA to the known Christian Community bloggers. The writer of this piece is a graduate student STT SALEM Malang from East Java, Indonesia. So what is TBC because it does not state who or what this is?​

I showed you clearly what EGW stated which made sense the blog had some merits but there were not only seven covenants found in the Bible but 292. However dealing with ELOHIM'S Law there were only two, the first is known as the Everlasting Covenant found in Gen 3:15 and the covenant written in a book by Moses and sprinkled with the blood of animals found Ex 24:7, 8.​

Again, I give you EGW and not those who never saw or were shown the truth concerning ELOHIM'S Covenant!​

The Covenant of Grace was first made with man in Eden, when after the Fall there was given a Divine Promise that the SEED of the woman should bruise the serpent’s head. To all men this Covenant offered pardon and the assisting grace of ELOHIM for future obedience through faith in the MESSIAH. It also promised them Eternal Life on condition of fidelity to ELOHIM’s Law. Thus the patriarchs received the hope of salvation. Though this Covenant was made with Adam and renewed to Abraham, it could not be ratified until the death of the MESSIAH. It had existed by the promise of ELOHIM since the first intimation of redemption had been given; it had been accepted by faith; yet when ratified by the MESSIAH, it is called a New Covenant. The Law of ELOHIM was the basis of this Covenant, which was simply an arrangement for bringing men again into harmony with the Divine Will, placing them where they could obey ELOHIM’s Law. PP p. 370 (The Law and the Covenant)

1. Covenant of Grace made in Eden,​

2. Divine Promise was given after man sinned (how do you sin but by breaking the Law and Commandments),​

3. This Everlasting Covenant had to offered pardon to man while the Original Covenant man breached by sinning did not require a pardon,

4. This Everlasting Covenant now promise man Eternal Life if he continue to keep the Law and Commands of ELOHIM because the Original man breached by sinning did not need to because man was eating from the Tree of Life,​

5. This Everlasting Covenant made with Adam was renewed to Abraham and it could only be ratified by the blood of ELOHIM'S SON YAHSHUA,

6. This Everlasting Covenant first introduce Redemption because the Original did not because man had not sin so he did not come under the penalty that Law and Commands of ELOHIM required-the shedding of blood if you sin,​

7. The Law of ELOHIM was the main reason for this Everlasting Covenant,​

8. This Everlasting Covenant was simply arrange to bring man back again in harmony with the Divine Will of ELOHIM. What is ELOAH, the FATHER'S Divine Will but HIS LAW and Commands, and teaching them now how to keep them.,​

My Covenant will I not break, nor alter the thing that is gone out of MY Lips. Psa 89:34 ​

HE hath remembered *HIS Covenant forever, the Word which HE Commanded to a *thousand generations. Which Covenant HE Made with Abraham, and HIS Oath unto Isaac; And ^Confirmed the same unto Jacob for a Law, and to Israel for an *Everlasting Covenant: Psa 105:8-10​

And I prayed unto YAHWEH my ELOHIM, and made my confession, and said, O YAHWEH, the GREAT and DREADFUL ELOHIM, keeping the Covenant and Mercy to them that love HIM, and to them that keep HIS Commandments; ​

And HE (YAHSHUA) shall ^Confirm the Covenant with many for one week: and in the midst of the week HE (YAHSHUA) shall cause the sacrifice and the oblation to cease, and for the overspreading of abominations HE shall make it desolate, even until the consummation, and that determined shall be poured upon the desolate. Dan 9:4, 27 ​

Which had the golden censer, and the Ark of the Covenant overlaid roundabout with gold, wherein was the Golden Pot that had Manna, and Aaron's rod that budded, and the Tables of the Covenant; Heb 9:4 ​

This is the Covenant that I will make with them after those days, saith YAHWEH, I will put my Laws into their hearts, and in their minds will I write them; Heb 10:16 ​

And to YAHSHUA the MEDIATOR of the New Covenant, and to the blood of sprinkling, that speaketh better things than that of Abel. Heb 12:24 ​

Now the ELOHIM of peace, that brought again from the dead our MASTER YAHSHUA, that GREAT SHEPHERD of the sheep, through the blood of the *Everlasting Covenant, Heb 13:20 ​

Now, these Scriptures explain everything EGW stated clearly which broke down and that is what you refuse to understand because you have compromise with the nominal churches and you not happy me because I am showing you the truth you do not want to hear-simple. I still love you though, but I provide this so someone will accept truth.​

Hmmm; thats interesting that you would claim what I posted is from "the nominal churches;" because it is actually a portion of a study by a well-known Adventist author, and I have done some editing of that study. You should make sure you know what you are talking about before saying it.

But this business you rumble on about regarding Ellen White. It is ludicrous to suggest that we should go with her first, and Bible second; which is what you are, in effect, doing here.

One of the things I am saying here; which some here do not like is that with this subject, or any other; it is wrong to not go with the Bible first, and as the final authority. It doesn't mean I don't "believe in Ellen White;" whatever that means.

The study I posted was Biblically sound; you have not yet proved even one small portion of it wrong.

(TBC) is an abbreviation for "to be continued;" and I am going to end this post with the observation that you need to get back to the Bible; and address where the official Adventist teachings I have been outlining are wrong; instead of chattering away about how I have gone to the dogs because I am "with the nominal churches."

You have never been more wrong before this post. You should have done your home work better than this before presuming.

It appears that what the Bible says about the feast days etc is not going to be accepted by some who prefer to mis-use and mis-quote the writings of Ellen G White. But rather than reply much to that line of thought, I think it is more important to start looking at some of these things a little closer, the things which are no longer needed, because of Christ's "once for all" sacrifice.

Perhaps, a brief, Biblical review of the sacrifice by which Christians can and should say that the OT sanctuary system practices are no longer needed:

THE "Once For All" SACRIFICE

As “the Lamb of God, which takes away the sin of the world” (John 1:29), Christ is the anti-typical sacrifice to which all the sacrifices of the type pointed. He was “without blemish,” though “in all points tempted.” He was the innocent victim of our guilt; and though He “knew no sin,” He was “made . . . to be sin for us.” The life which He gave us for our redemption was untouched by guilt of His own, and therefore was not under condemnation. Just before His betrayal He said to His disciples: “Hereafter I will not talk much with you: for-the prince of this world comes and hath nothing in Me.” John 14:30. It was this perfection of life which qualified Him to be the sacrificial substitute for guilty man. He had perfect life to give.

His sinless life was the result of His own choice. Of His own purpose He lived so that His life expressed only the will of His Father. Said He: “I came down from heaven, not do Mine own will, but the will of Him that sent Me.” John 6:38. Again He said: “My meat is to do the will of Him that sent Me, and to finish His work.” “The Father bath not left Me alone; for I do always those things that please Him.” John 4: 34; 8:29.

Three times during His life in the flesh Jesus had the spoken assurance that His Father was well pleased with Him. We read that after He was baptized, “Jesus went up straightway out of the water. And, lo, the heavens were opened unto Him, and He saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove, and lighting upon Him: and lo a voice from heaven, saying, This is My beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.” Matthew 3.16, 17.

Again, during His ministry, He “takes Peter, James, and John his brother, and brings them up into a high mountain apart, and was transfigured before them: and His face did shine as the sun, and His raiment was white as the light. And, behold, there appeared unto them Moses and Elias talking with Him. Then answered Peter, and said unto Jesus, Lord, it is good for us to be here: if Thou wilt, let us make here three tabernacles; one for Thee, and one for Moses, and one for Elias. While he yet spoke, behold, a bright cloud overshadowed them: and behold a voice out of the cloud, which said, This is My beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased; hear you Him!” Matthew 17:14

When facing betrayal and death, He exclaimed: “Now is My soul troubled; and what shall I say? Father, save Me from this hour: but for this cause came I unto this hour. Father, glorify Thy name. Then came there a voice from heaven, saying, I have both glorified it, and will glorify it again.” John 12:27, 28. He was qualified by the perfection of His life in the flesh to take guilty man’s place, and to give His life a ransom for the sinner. Thus, as the sacrifice in substitution for guilty man, He was acceptable to the Father.

Through the offering of the body of Christ, once for all, we are sanctified by the will of God. Hebrews 10:10. But the sanctifying element in the sacrifice is the blood. To scorn the blood of the sacrifice, and count it an unholy thing, is to trample on the Son of God, and to do despite unto the Spirit of grace, through which Christ “offered Himself without spot to God!’ Hebrews 10:29; 9:14. The sacrifice of Christ rejected, there remains no other sacrifice for sin. The sinner then must come into judgment unsanctified, and unsheltered from the fiery indignation which -shall devour the adversaries. Hebrews 10:26-31.

It is the blood of Jesus Christ that cleanses us from all sin. 1 John 1:7. There is no sin from which we can be cleansed by any other agency. There is no sin from which we cannot be cleansed by the blood of Christ, if we seek such cleansing. No sacrifice, feast day, holy day, sabbath days or anything else can atone for our sins and cleanse us from unrighteousness; none but the blood of Jesus. (John 1:29). It is by His blood that Christ redeems us to God from our lost condition. Revelation 5:9. It is by the blood that Christ has entered into the sanctuary in heaven, there to complete the work of atonement by which sin is forever put away, and which was begun and shall all be wrought by the sacrifice of Himself. In the merits of that perfect sacrifice all accomplishment in our behalf by our High Priest in heaven is made possible.

The "everlasting covenant" can be understood better by looking at some of the other OT Sanctuary practices; especially the OT Passover:

THE PASSOVER

CHRIST’S saving ministry was foreshadowed in the feasts of the ceremonial service. Of these there were six that were annual. Three of these occurred in the spring of the year, and three in the autumn. The first three began in the first month, and the last three began in the seventh month. Each of these feasts represented some phase of Christ’s service.

The Passover was the first of these annual feasts. It represented the death of Christ. “Purge out therefore the old leaven, that you may be a new lump, as you are unleavened. For even Christ our Passover is sacrificed for us: 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.” 1 Corinthians 5:7, 8.

The Passover was to be eaten. The requirement to partake of the Passover lamb indicated the necessity for the sinner to partake of Christ, and thus to make the sinner’s identity with the Substitute complete. Observe the emphasis placed on this by Christ: “As the living Father hath sent Me, and I live by the Father: so he that eats Me, even he that lives by Me.” John 6:57.

The suppliant for pardon, for deliverance from bondage, must not only be willing that another shall pay the penalty for his guilt, but must be willing also to receive life that is without guilt through the death of his Substitute. It is in this that the distinction between the world and the child of God is fixed. Christ died in substitution for every man. But comparatively few are willing to eat His flesh, and thus live by Him. It is this personal acceptance of the Substitute that makes Him our Passover in an individual sense.

It was not alone the blood shed, neither was it alone the blood applied, but rather the blood both shed and applied that brought about the Passover in Egypt. “You shall take a bunch of hyssop, and dip it in the blood that is in the basin, and strike the lintel and the two side posts with the blood that is in the basin. And none of you shall go out at the door of his house until the morning. For the Lord will pass through to smite the Egyptians; and when He sees the blood upon the lintel, and on the two side posts, the Lord will pass over the door, and will not suffer the destroyer to come in unto your houses to smite you.” Exodus 12:22, 23.

It was by the ministry of the blood that the children of Israel were led to expect deliverance: “The blood shall be to you for a token upon the houses where you are. And when I see the blood, I will pass over you, and the plague shall not be upon you to destroy you, when I smite the land of Egypt!” Exodus 12:13.

From these scriptures it is dear that the shedding of the blood, the paying of the penalty, while basic to that which was effective in the plan of deliverance by the Passover, was not in itself a final objective, or even a sole means to the reaching of a final objective. The ministration of the blood was an essential part of the work of deliverance, and was precedent to the act of deliverance. After the blood had been shed, it was necessary to minister it in the prescribed way before deliverance could be wrought.

Observe, too, that each one made the Passover his own, by killing the lamb, by applying the blood, and by remaining in the house on which was the token that evidenced acceptance of the substitute and the ministry of its blood.

As our Passover, Christ paid the penalty for our guilt by His death. In His death He died unto sin. Romans 6:10. But since He died in our stead, we therefore died in Him. Romans 6:6. That being so, then we are freed from sin, for “he that is dead is freed from sin.” Romans 6:7. Now, being free from sin, it no longer has dominion over us. Romans 6:14. Consequently, while sin has reigned, heretofore, in our mortal bodies unto death, now, through the gift of righteousness which we have by partaking of Christ, we reign in life by one, Jesus Christ. Romans 6:12; 5:17. This dominion is restored to us by the power of sin being broken in us. “It is a faithful saying: For if we be dead with Him, we shall also live with Him: if we suffer, we shall also reign with Him: if we deny Him, He also will deny us.” 2 Timothy 2:11, 12.

Suffering death in Christ, as death for our guilt, brings to us life in which righteousness has ruler ship. That life is alone in Him over whom death hath no more dominion. Romans 6:9. But by refusing to accept His death in substitution for us, or in the words of Paul, “if we deny Him,” we are left under the dominion of sin, and therefore are subject to death for sin’s guilt upon us. This life, which we have in Christ, was prefigured in the Levitical ceremonial services by the Feast of the First Fruits; and it is essential to note here that we deny Christ when we try to claim that we still need the OT Passover Service to be saved. We deny the spirit of prophecy when we try to wrest it to suit our own “private interpretations;” by which no scripture can ever be defined.

Perhaps, a brief, Biblical review of the sacrifice by which Christians can and should say that the OT sanctuary system practices are no longer needed: ​

I have never misused or misquoted any of EGW writings and that is untrue. What I have done is replace the Sacred Names and capitalized all referring to the ALMIGHTY ONES and nothing else. Prove what I changed provide one word I quoted from her in her writings changed even one sentence or one thought. If I personally prefer to used the Sacred Names in her writings and capitalize the ALMIGHTY ONES because I believe in keeping true to the Command to not take ELOHIM'S Name falsely, I have that right!!! You on the other hand quoted from this site: CHRISTIAN COMMUNITY: THE UNCHANGEABLE COVENANTS then below it placed TCB in parenthesis meaning what? Get over it you will not find in the Bible that HIS Holy Appointed Set Time were done away with the death of YAHSHUA. I am not upset with you because you do not want to understand and have a distaste for me. The proof is what unhappy people do when they don't agreed to disagree. Instead to even use the Bible to imply a negative comment toward me. I can read between lines:​

"When it was full, they drew to shore, and sat down, and gathered the good into vessels, but cast the bad away." Mat 13:48​

I am sad you used the Bible like this but I am glad that ELOHIM saves and not you! I just one to say that ELOHIM promised to fight my battle, I do not fear negative statements, just please stop telling things that are not true that I change EGW unless you prove it because names do not change the content, nor do capitalization of words!

Love you and be bless,​

I already told you that (TCB) means "To Be Continued." That was to let people know that I intended to post another section to that study. Let me repeat something I said two posts ago:

As our Passover, Christ paid the penalty for our guilt by His death. In His death He died unto sin. Romans 6:10. But since He died in our stead, we therefore died in Him. Romans 6:6. That being so, then we are freed from sin, for “he that is dead is freed from sin.” Romans 6:7. Now, being free from sin, it no longer has dominion over us. Romans 6:14.

No; you cant read between the lines very well at all. First; I am not "unhappy;" and second, the Bible references I use are not all addressing the topic at hand.

Perhaps, since you prefer to quote Ellen White more than scripture; we can look at what she actually does say about The Passover:

Christ was standing at the point of transition between two economies and their two great festivals. He, the spotless Lamb of God, was about to present Himself as a sin offering, that He would thus bring to an end the system of types and ceremonies that for four thousand years had pointed to His death. As He ate the Passover with His disciples, He instituted in its place the service that was to be the memorial of His great sacrifice. The national festival of the Jews was to pass away forever. The service which Christ established was to be observed by His followers in all lands and through all ages. {DA 652.2}

She is in total agreement with all the scripture I have just quoted above.

 

[Castaway57]

For All Time in Every Country.

In the place of the national festival which the Jewish people had observed, He instituted a memorial service, the ordinance of feet washing and the sacramental supper, to be observed through all time by His followers in every country. These should ever repeat Christ's act, that all may see that true service calls for unselfish ministry.--Signs of the Times, May 16, 1900. {Ev 275.5}

To Be Often Commemorated.--In this last act of Christ in partaking with His disciples of the bread and wine, He pledged Himself to them as their Redeemer by a new covenant, in which it was written and sealed that upon all who will receive Christ by faith will be bestowed all the blessings that heaven can supply, both in this life and in the future immortal life. {Ev 276.1}

This covenant deed was to be ratified by Christ's own blood, which it had been the office of the old sacrificial offerings to keep before the minds of His chosen people. Christ designed that this supper should be often commemorated, in order to bring to our remembrance His sacrifice in giving His life for the remission of the sins of all who will believe on Him and receive Him. This ordinance is not to be exclusive, as many would make it. Each must participate in it publicly, and thus say: "I accept Christ as my personal Saviour. He gave His life for me, that I might be rescued from death."--Review and Herald, June 22, 1897. {Ev 276.2}

It is apparent that Ellen White also agrees that the OT passover practice is no longer needed by/for Christians today. "Nothing but the blood of Jesus."

 

[Castaway57]

The Lord's Supper was the point of transition between two great festivals.--The symbols of the Lord's house are simple and plainly understood, and the truths represented by them are of the deepest significance to us. In instituting the sacramental service to take the place of the Passover, Christ left for His church a memorial of His great sacrifice for man. "This do," He said, "in remembrance of Me." This was the point of transition between two economies and their two great festivals. The one was to close forever; the other, which He had just established, was to take its place, and to continue through all time as the memorial of His death.--RH May 31, 1898. {PaM 169.1}

My Friend Castaway:​

My response to your comments:​

I have provided subsequent articles, briefly dealing with The Passover, and related OT sanctuary practices, to which you have been unable to reply with scripture.

In Post #101 I provided for you that the passover was not a Holy day it was invented by the Jews and not by ELOHIM. It was the meal to be taken at the beginning of the Unleavened Bread Week in the evening and that is exactly what YAHSHUA and HIS disciple took at midnight.

I also gave you this as well with Scriptures:

Ex 12:14 - (Heb: chagag -specifically to march in a sacred procession, to observe a moed moadah [properly an appointment, that is, a fixed time]; by implication to celebrate, dance, (keep, hold) a (solemn) (holy day) Lev 23: 5, 6, Matt 26:17-20, Luke 22:1, 7-9, 14

And we sailed away from Philippi after the days of Unleavened Bread, and came unto them to Troas in five days; where we abode seven days. For Paul had determined to sail by Ephesus, because he would not spend the time in Asia: for he hasted, if it were possible for him, to be at Jerusalem the day of Pentecost. Act 20:6, 16

Paul no longer observed the paschal meal but he continued to keep the Holy Appointed Set Time of Unleavened Bread. There is nowhere in any of my writings do I say to observe the passover-YAHSHUA became our PASSOVER. I have said this constantly you have me mixed up with Stan and others who believe that we should keep the passover, I do not!​

Again; you have not done your home work. If you check the wording of what I posted; it has been edited in a number of spots; but the real point to take note of here is that this link you have provided got that article from somewhere too. And I would be willing to bet you have no clue where; or who the original author thereof is. So slow down your horses. They are running nowhere.​

Now that is very interesting that you could change others work, but criticizes me for providing the Sacred Names in EGW writings and capitalizing all that reference the ALMIGHTY ONES! Special rules for you right?​

The MESSIAH was standing at the point of transition between two economies and their two great festivals. HE, the spotless LAMB of ELOHIM, was about to present HIMSELF as a sin offering, that HE would thus bring to an end the system of types and ceremonies that for four thousand years had pointed to HIS death. As HE ate the passover with His disciples, instituted in its place the service that was to be the memorial of HIS Great Sacrifice. The national festival of the Jews was to pass away forever. The service which the MESSIAH established was to be observed by His followers in all lands and through all ages. DA p. 652​

Question doesn't transition means is transferring something hum? It certainly does mean something is done away!​

I the place of the national festival which the Jewish people had observed, HE instituted a Memorial service, the ordinance of feet washing and the Sacramental supper, to be observed through all time by His followers in every country. These should ever repeat the MESSIAH'S act, that all may see that true service calls for unselfish ministry.--Signs of the Times, May 16, 1900. Ev p. 275​

Castaway I do pay attention and I understand as well. What was the Jewish festival because it was not ELOHIM? ​

Now the Holy Appointed Set Time of Unleavened Bread drew nigh, which is called the passover. Luke 22:1 ​

The MESSIAH was standing at the point of transition between two economies and their two great festivals. What were the two she called festivals? Unleavened Bread and the one called that is not one was the passover supper.​

The national festival of the Jews was to pass away forever.​

Notice above Castaway she only mentions one it was national. Which one was it? HE, the spotless LAMB of ELOHIM, was about to present HIMSELF as a sin offering, that HE would thus bring to an end the system of types and ceremonies (where is days mention here?), that for four thousand years had pointed to HIS death. As HE ate the passover with His disciples instituted in its place the service that was to be the memorial of HIS Great Sacrifice. The national festival of the Jews was to pass away forever. In the place of the national festival which the Jewish people had observed, HE instituted a Memorial service, the ordinance of feet washing and the Sacramental supper, to be observed through all time by His followers in every country. ​

The proof is the passover supper that she only indicated. She never mentioned the Unleavened Bread because it was already a Memorial and it was instituted by ELOHIM. It was observed after YAHSHUA'S death, including all of the other Holy Convocational Days.​

And this day shall be unto you for a Memorial; and ye shall keep it a feast (Holy Appointed Set Time) to YAHWEH throughout your generations; ye shall keep it a feast (Holy Appointed Set Time) by an ordinance forever. Seven days shall ye eat unleavened bread; even the first day ye shall put away leaven out of your houses: for whosoever eateth leavened bread from the first day until the seventh day, that soul shall be cut off from Israel. And when a stranger shall sojourn with thee, and will keep the passover to YAHWEH, let all his males be circumcised, and then let him come near and keep it; and he shall be as one that is born in the land: for no uncircumcised person shall eat thereof. One Law shall be to him that is homeborn, and unto the stranger that sojourneth among you. Ex 12:14, 15, 48, 49​

Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, Concerning the feasts (Holy Appointed Set Time) of YAHWEH, which ye shall proclaim to be Holy Convocations, even these are my feasts. And on the fifteenth day of the same month is the feast of unleavened bread unto the LORD: seven days ye must eat unleavened bread. Lev 23:2, 6​

And when the day of Pentecost was fully come, they were all with one accord in one place. Act 2:1 ​

And we sailed away from Philippi after the days of Unleavened Bread, and came unto them to Troas in five days; where we abode seven days. For Paul had determined to sail by Ephesus, because he would not spend the time in Asia: for he hasted, if it were possible for him, to be at Jerusalem the day of Pentecost. Act 20:6, 16​

Purge out therefore the old leaven, that ye may be a new lump, as ye are unleavened. For even the MESSIAH our PASSOVER is Sacrificed for us: Therefore let us keep the feast, (Holy Appointed Set Time) not with old leaven, neither with the leaven of malice and wickedness; but with the unleavened bread of sincerity and truth. 1Co 5:7, 8 ​

I will say it loud and clear the passover was not a day,

it was the meal. A day is not a ritual, or a ceremony, worship is a ceremony that would on the Day called or Namely the Sabbath. A ritual or ceremony, or service is what you do or act on a specific time and day!!!!! Instituted in the passover meal place was washing the feet (miniature baptism) and YAHSHUA Supper or meal to be held on the same day called Unleavened Bread. That is what I adhere to and if you don't that is fine, I am presenting not dictating. The truth will be revealed very soon. I love you but I will not recant even if I must die will I stand firm. That is for me not you be at peace keep Christmas and all the rest ok? However, I will not allow you or anyone to make or say I said something I did not write or say!​

Love you be bless and go in peace my friend,
