Good morning,

Nice song by Keith Green, here is an acapella version of the same song by Glad. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v...OF84&feature=related

Nearly every Christian has learned of this Holy Day observance from the traditions passed down from the church. However, how many have looked into or inquired from the Bible, to obtain the true name of this observance, and when it is to be observed?

What if you found out that you are not honoring Jesus' sacrificial death and resurrection in the holy day that so many call Easter? What if the origins and name of the feast really serve to honor a pagan observance and some other God?

God's first commandment is that we love the Lord our God with all our heart, soul, mind and strength, and at Deu. 6:14 He expands: 14 Do not follow other gods, the gods of the peoples around you;


Please don't get angry or stiff necked about these questions. Did you do your homework to find out in God's word to find out the full truth or are you just following the crowd or your own understanding?

When you find out how God set His 7 ordained feasts, you will see how they serve to fulfill His prophesy concerning these feasts, it should fill you with joy, and a huge desire to see the fulfillment of the fall feasts of Trumpets, Atonement and Judgment, and the Feast of the Tabernacles. These are truths that shall make you free.

Most Christians aren't even aware that Jews have a different calendar than the rest of the world follows. Their first month was called Aviv and now called Nisan and they celebrate their new year in what they call their seventh month of Tishri. Here is a website that covers these months of the Jewish calendar and correlates them with their civil equivalent.

http://www.jewfaq.org/calendar.htm

You can discover how to use this calendar converter and switch the view from Jewish to Civil equivalent, and advance them to the corresponding date, months, and days. If you advance the calendar to March and place your cursor over March 29, 2010, you will see that it marks that date as Nisan 14 (feast of the passover begin that evening) Nisan 15 is Feast of Unleavened bread (7 day feast and a special sabbath day) Nisan 16 occurs on Mar. 31, 2010 this year, is the Feast of the First Fruits and is also the Jewish feast that was observed on the day our Lord was resurrected. After which, 7 weeks later is the Feast of Shavuot, Torah, or Pentecost and is celebrated on Sivan 6-7 and occurs on May 19-20 this year. Everyone of these feasts are covered in Lev. 23, and repeated several times in other books of the Torah (The first 5 Books of the Bible). These feasts serve to point us to Jesus, and help to build our belief, faith and hope, for without faith we cannot even accept Jesus.

If we are to worship God in spirit and in truth lets not mix truth with fiction or false worship. Think of the original sin, and the partaking of the fruit of the knowledge of good and evil, it is a mixed fruit, and why Jesus tell us that a good tree cannot give off bad or evil fruit, and an evil tree cannot give good fruit.

This posting is not intended to strike fear into anyone, but instead help to lead others to search out the scriptures, and all available resources that will help shed the light of God's truth about how He wants us to worship Him. I firmly believe that if you faithful seek Him, He will reveal Himself to you and bring you into a fuller understanding of the truth, the way and the life that He wants for all of us.

May the Lord bless each of you with His peace which surpasses understanding and His joy which is our strength.

Hi Jill,

Yeah, Keith was a pretty awesome song and poem writer. I found a sight that has 50 of Keith Green's songs and a lot more information; including his reformation efforts "to reform the church of unbiblical habits..." Hmm, sounds familiar.

It is regrettable that his life was cut short by an unfortunate plane crash.

One of the most renown Christian Hymn songwriter and poet ever; was Charles Wesley. In his life time, he wrote over 6000 songs not to mention poems. Here is a sight that has many of his songs:

Here's another biography page about him:

http://www.poemhunter.com/charles-wesley/biography/

He lived to be 80 years old, but did not begin writing songs until 1738, when he was 30 years old, so that over a 50 year period he wrote between 6000 to 6500 songs and a few poems.

Last year, I took an interest in this because I started being led by the Holy Spirit to write poetry, and songs. I never before did any such thing. It just came to me. In the span of 10 months I must of written about 70 poems, 12 English songs, 10 Spanish songs, and I have translated about 10 songs from English to Spanish and 1 song from Spanish to English.

I found it so amazing that Charles Wesley was so gifted and inspired to write as many songs as he did, that it made my efforts seem so minor, but one thing really sunk into me about this, the Lord loves what ever we do to minister unto Him, no matter how little or how big. If no one else likes what we write about, it's okay; we're doing it to please Him. If the masses like it, that's okay too, but what is most important is that He likes it; because it is really all about being obedient to His call. He empowers and gifts you as He wills.

Have a blessed day!
