Introduction

Today, people are attending pagan festivals of the roman empire, without knowing that the pagan festivals have been baptized with Christian names.

For example, such ceremonies like iwa ji, ozo uka were pagan ceremonies which the church have brought into Christianity in order to increase members.

Investigate this fact by asking your parents when you get home.

What Jesus Said About Old Testament

"Do not think that I came to destroy the Law or the Prophets. I did not come to destroy but to fulfill. 18 For assuredly, I say to you, till heaven and earth pass away, one jot or one title will by no means pass from the law till all is fulfilled. 19 Whoever therefore breaks one of the least of these commandments, and teaches men so, shall be called least in the kingdom of heaven; but whoever does and teaches them, he shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven. Matthew 5:17-20

The Festivals Of God Attended By Jesus

1. Sabbath Day

“So He came to Nazareth, where He had been brought up. And as His custom was, He went into the synagogue on the Sabbath day, and stood up to read.” Luke 4:16-17

2. Jesus Attended The Passover Feast

His parents went to Jerusalem every year at the Feast of the Passover . 42 And when He was twelve years old, they went up to Jerusalem according to the custom of the feast. 43 When they had finished the days, as they returned, the Boy Jesus lingered behind in Jerusalem. And Joseph and His mother did not know it… so it was that after three days they found Him in the temple, sitting in the midst of the teachers, both listening to them and asking them questions. 47 And all who heard Him were astonished at His understanding and answers. 48 So when they saw Him, they were amazed; and His mother said to Him, "Son, why have You done this to us? Look, Your father and I have sought You anxiously."

And He said to them, "Why did you seek Me? Did you not know that I must be about My Father's business?" 50 But they did not understand the statement which He spoke to them. Luke 2:41-50

Now on the first day of the Feast of the Unleavened Bread the disciples came to Jesus, saying to Him, "Where do You want us to prepare for You to eat the Passover?"

18 And He said, "Go into the city to a certain man, and say to him, 'The Teacher says, "My time is at hand; I will keep the Passover at your house with My disciples."'"

19 So the disciples did as Jesus had directed them; and they prepared the Passover . Matthew 26:17-19

And as they were eating, Jesus took bread, blessed and broke it, and gave it to them and said, "Take, eat; this is My body."

Then He took the cup, and when He had given thanks He gave it to them, and they all drank from it. 24 And He said to them, "This is My blood of the new covenant, which is shed for many. 25 Assuredly, I say to you, I will no longer drink of the fruit of the vine until that day when I drink it new in the kingdom of God." Mark 14:22-25

3. Jesus Attended The Feast Of Tabernacles

Now the Jews' Feast of Tabernacles was at hand… But when His brothers had gone up, then He also went up to the feast, not openly, but as it were in secret. John 7:2-11

Now about the middle of the feast Jesus went up into the temple and taught. 15 And the Jews marveled, saying, "How does this Man know letters, having never studied?" John 7:14-15

4. Jesus Sent The Holy Spirit During The Feast Of Pentecost

Behold, I send the Promise of My Father upon you; but tarry in the city of Jerusalem until you are endued with power from on high." Luke 24:49

“When the Day of Pentecost had fully come, they were all with one accord in one place. 2 And suddenly there came a sound from heaven, as of a rushing mighty wind, and it filled the whole house where they were sitting. 3 Then there appeared to them divided tongues, as of fire, and one sat upon each of them. 4 And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance.”

Acts 2:1-4

5. Jesus Attended The Feast Of New Moon

The New Moon Feast was a regular monthly festival, in Israel, in both Old and New Testaments, and not novenas which were forged by people.

"For as the new heavens and the new earth

Which I will make shall remain before Me," says the Lord,

"So shall your descendants and your name remain.

23 And it shall come to pass

That from one New Moon to another,

And from one Sabbath to another,

All flesh shall come to worship before Me," says the Lord.

24 "And they shall go forth and look

Upon the corpses of the men

Who have transgressed against Me.

For their worm does not die,

And their fire is not quenched.

They shall be an abhorrence to all flesh."

Isaiah 66:22-24

6. Etc.

Warning To The World

God has no Old or New Testaments. That division is man-made. The Word of God is One. It is neither old nor new. It is always new.

That is why God said, “I have no Old Testament. I have no New Testament. My word is one. I am the Unchangeable Changer, whose word never changes.”

Your Duty

It is your duty to decide whether to do what God said in the bible or to be following and practicing man-made laws and doctrines, which were forged by your fellow human beings at meetings, councils, conferences and synods.

Conclusion

The end time is the last opportunity to repent and do the will of God.

Today, so many Christians, born-agains and believers, who claim to be children of God, have not repented, because they are not doing the will of God.
