When Julius Caesar fixed January 1 as New Year’s Day in honor of the two-faced god Janus, he tied the world’s calendar to pagan worship. Scripture, however, begins the year in Abib with green barley and the new moon, not with Rome’s civil, deity-based system.  Read More

You’ll be more amazed at how Christmas rites are so very like those in ancient Babylon. Some practices may have changed cosmetically through the years as they left Babylon and diffused through the Mithraic cults and into northern Europe, but the essence still shines through.  Read More

Easter’s eggs, bunnies, and sunrise services trace back to ancient fertility rites and sun worship, not to Yahshua’s resurrection or any biblical command.

Christmas dresses ancient sun worship in a thin Christian disguise. From Saturnalia revelry to evergreen tree symbols, its roots run to Babylon, not Bethlehem. Scripture never commands a Nativity festival, but it does command Yahweh’s own Feasts—His true holy days for worship in the Kingdom.  Read More

Hanukkah may look warm and spiritual, but history shows it’s a late, man-made tradition with roots, legends, and customs that echo Christmas more than Scripture.

Christmas isn’t a cozy Bible story; it’s a patchwork of Saturnalia, Mithra, sun-worship, and myths about trees and Santa that never appear in Scripture. Discover why Yahshua wasn’t born December 25—and why those who love Him should leave man-made holidays for Yahweh’s holy days.  Read More

True worship isn’t about convenience or tradition; it’s about obeying Yahweh on His terms. He defines the days, Name, and commandments that honor Him, and judges our actions. Knowing Him means studying, repenting, keeping His Sabbaths and Feasts, and living daily, active obedience through Yahshua.  Read More

This article answers the claim that Yahweh’s Feast days were merely “Moses’ law” and abolished at the cross. It shows from Scripture that “law of Moses” includes the Ten Commandments, that Feasts are Yahweh’s own statutes, and that Colossians 2 targets human ordinances—not His appointed times.  Read More

Why I Keep the Biblical FeastsJust Old Testament observances for ancient Israel? Hardly. The annual Feasts of Yahweh are the very command of a righteous Father to His very people in ALL generations. Here’s why.    A young man once called us with a question: “Why do you teach that we must keep the Old Testament Feasts? Weren’t they done away, along with the rest of the laws like sacrifices and othe...  Read More

Yahweh’s Feast days reveal His salvation plan in a way man-made holidays never can.

Scripture never commands Sunday observance or Christmas, but commands Yahweh’s Sabbaths and Feasts for Israel and all nations, in the coming Kingdom. His appointed times reveal His salvation plan, separate true worship from man-made traditions, and determine future blessings, reward, protection, judgment, and eternal destiny.  Read More

Pentecost links Sinai and Acts 2. At the first, Yahweh wrote His law on stone; at the second, He wrote it on hearts by His Spirit. The Feast of Weeks reveals the New Covenant promise: forgiven sin, a transformed mind, and power to obey through Yahshua’s Name and Holy Spirit.  Read More

From Genesis to the Kingdom, Yahweh’s Feast days form one continuous plan. They are not “Jewish holidays” but His appointments for all His people, forever.

Pentecost, the Feast of Weeks, reveals Yahweh’s plan to harvest a firstfruits people for priestly rulership under Yahshua. Counted from the wave sheaf, it joins law and Spirit, power and obedience.

The Feast of Trumpets announces Yahshua’s return with the awakening blast of Yahweh’s trumpet, raising the dead and gathering the faithful.

Passover doesn’t end Yahweh’s plan—it launches it.

Passover isn’t “just Jewish”—it’s the original memorial behind what many call Communion.

Salvation and obedience require both the true meaning and the proper timing of this powerful memorial.  Read More

Passover must be kept on Abib 14, beginning at dusk, based on Scripture and the green-ear barley, not the equinox or later Jewish custom. Yahshua kept it then, followed by the “night of watching,” so believers today should observe Passover the same way.  Read More

Passover night is “a night to be much observed” (Ex. 12:42)—a vigil of watching, protection, and deliverance. Israel stayed awake under the lamb’s blood; Yahshua watched in Gethsemane. We honor this by keeping Passover as a reverent night of remembrance and alert faith.  Read More

Passover and Unleavened Bread reveal Yahweh’s plan: He calls us out of this world, covers us by Yahshua’s blood, and commands us to remove sin’s “leaven” from our lives. Not chasing miracles, but obeying His Sabbaths and Feasts prepares us for His coming Kingdom.  Read More

Yahshua will return to the Mount of Olives at the last trumpet, likely on a Feast day, to a Zion-centered people who honor Yahweh’s Sabbaths and Feasts.
