From this we know they are ordinances, handwritten that was against us and contrary. So from this context we should know right away it’s not referring to any of the commandments of God or the Sabbath commandment. The Sabbath is a commandment Deut 4:13, not an ordinance, it is holy and blessed hallowed by God Exodus 20:8-11, not contrary or against (spending time with God is not contrary) and the Sabbath commandment was written by the finger of God Exodus 31:18 not handwritten by Moses. So it’s obvious it is not referring to any of the Ten Commandments that is what reveals sin. 1 John 3:4, Romans 7:7 plus we can’t add or subtract from the Commandments Deut 4:2 because the earthy copy was a replica of God’s heavenly Temple. Heb 8:5, Rev 11:19
What is Col 2:14-17 referring to They are ordinances that have to do with sacrifices, food offerings,
Exodus 12:43 And the Lord said to Moses and Aaron, “This is the ordinance of the Passover:
Ezekiel 43:18 And He said to me, “Son of man, thus says the Lord God: ‘These are the ordinances for the altar on the day when it is made, for sacrificing burnt offerings on it, and for sprinkling blood on it.
2. They were handwritten
2 Chronicles 33:8 Neither will I any more remove the foot of Israel from out of the land which I have appointed for your fathers; so that they will take heed to do all that I have commanded them, according to the whole law and the statutes and the ordinances by the hand of Moses.
Deuteronomy 31:24 So it was, when Moses had completed writing the words of this law in a book, when they were finished,
3. They were contrary
Deuteronomy 31:26 “Take this Book of the Law, and put it beside the ark of the covenant of the Lord your God, that it may be there as a witness against you;
The Ten Commandments are inside the Ark of the Covenant.
There is more detail in regards to the food and drink offerings I’ll see if I can find those scriptures again.
There is an old thread that goes into great detail if interested…

The point is, Jesus would know what would be nailed to His cross at His death, would you agree? There would be no point in Him saying to His followers and expected them to keep the Sabbath is it was nailed to the cross decades after the cross. Also Matthew 24 is a prophetic book which correlates with Daniel and Revelation and there is a future application to this verse as well. I can give you a detailed bible study on this if interested.
In scripture New Moons just means a new month. There was no calendar system in scripture so they could tell months from the moons. This does not say new moon festivals. Regardless what Jesus has planned for His people on a special gathering on the New Moon does not take away the fact that every Sabbath, the saints will comes before the Lord to worship Him. Sin is what separated us from worshipping Him in His presence like in the garden Genesis 2:1-3 and once sin and sinners are no more Sabbath worship will be restored in His presence. Right now we should worship Him from one Sabbath to another through His Spirit Isaiah 58:13, Exodus 20:8-11, Lev 23:3 because God’s will for us is not different in heaven than it is on this earth. Matt 6:10
@HIM already addressed this and stated it more eloquently that I ever could so I will leave it at that.
