Draft:God's Feasts or Holy Days

Leviticus 23 contains a very concise list of the Weekly and Annual Feast Days that God commands men to observe. These days are usually known as Jewish holidays, but the text in no way implies that only the Jews or even the Israelites were commanded to keep them. God says that these are "My Feasts."

They are the Feasts of: Seventh Day of Each Week Passover Days of Unleavened Bread (7 days) Pentecost Trumpets Atonement Tabernacles (7 Days) The Last Great Day

They were all observed by Jesus Christ and by His disciples long after He was resurrected. Each has special meaning for True Christians. Beginning in the 1930's Herbert Armstrong taught that these should be kept in lieu of traditional holidays which are based on the worship of pagan gods or goddesses. After his death, the church He founded, Worldwide Church of God, split into several groups. The most complete systematic theological treatment of his theology can be found at
