God gave us holy days and weeks that He intended everyone to remember. He said they are 'My feasts' - not the Jew's feasts.
And YHWH spoke to Moses, saying, 'Speak to the children of Israel, and say to them: The feasts [Moed] of YHWH, which you shall proclaim to be holy convocations [Miqra], these are My feasts [Moed].'
It shall be a statute forever in all your dwellings throughout your generations.
Leviticus 23:1,2,21c
It is true that we are not to sacrifice animals any longer. None of the ceremonial statues can be performed without the Temple. This is one of the reasons why He allowed the Temple to be destroyed in 70 AD and why it won't be rebuilt until the 70th week starts - after the Rapture.
But God said His feasts were to be a statute forever, even in the Millennium! By failing to observe them the church has missed much of what God gave us for our blessing. The spring feasts should be a celebration of the crucifixion, burial, and resurrection of Jesus the Christ, Yahshua HaMashiach.
Celebrating the fall feasts would be witness to the world of how and when He will be coming back, and a reminder to us to be ready.
God's feasts are not named for eating. The Hebrew word 'moed' means an appointed time and 'miqra' means a rehearsal meeting.
Then God said, "Let there be lights in the firmament of the heavens to divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs and seasons [Moed], and for days and years...
Genesis 1:14
Here, seasons is not our yearly seasons but His appointed holy days.
Then the Lord answered me and said: "Write the vision and make it plain on tablets, that he may run who reads it. For the vision is yet for an appointed time [Moed]; but at the end it will speak [Puwach - utter, breathe], and it will not lie [Kazab = lie, fail]. Though it tarries, wait for it; because it will surely come, it will not tarry.
Habakkuk 2:2-3
But concerning the times and the seasons [Kairos - fixed definite time], brethren, you have no need that I should write to you. For you yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so comes as a thief in the night. For when they say, "Peace and safety!" then sudden destruction comes upon them, as labor pains upon a pregnant woman. And they shall not escape. But you, brethren, are not in darkness, so that this Day should overtake you as a thief. You are all sons of light and sons of the day. We are not of the night nor of darkness. Therefore let us not sleep, as others do, but let us watch and be sober. For those who sleep, sleep at night, and those who get drunk are drunk at night. But let us who are of the day be sober, putting on the breastplate of faith and love, and as a helmet the hope of salvation. For God did not appoint us to wrath, but to obtain salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ, who died for us, that whether we wake or sleep, we should live together with Him.
1 Thessalonians 5:1-10
So let no one judge you in food or in drink, or regarding a festival [Heorte - feast day] or a new moon [Noumenia - festival of the new moon, Yom Teruah] or the sabbath [Sabbaton = Sabbath week], which are a shadow of things to come, but the substance is of Christ.
Colossians 2:16-17
Kairos is the plural Greek word for Moed (feast), Heorte is the Greek word for festival (the 3 feasts when attendence to Jerusalem is required), and Noumenia is Yom Teruah, the fifth feast, the only feast that is on the new moon instead a full moon. Sabbaton should have been translated as Sabbath week, which is reference to the 7000 years between creation and eternity, the six 1000 years/days of man followed by the 1000 years/day of rest - the millennial kingdom.
Over and over again throughout scripture God shows a consistent pattern where He performs His significant acts on His appointed days!
The Spring Feasts were for the first Advent of Messiah.
Each feast was fulfilled by Jesus/Yahshua exactly on each day:
See An Easter blessing for you..., the letter I sent to many that goes into much more detail.
The Holy Spirit was given to the church 50 days later, exactly on:
The Autumn Feasts are for the Second Advent of Messiah.
Each feast will be fulfilled on the exact days:
This feast is commonly called Rosh Hashanah [head of the year], for the beginning of the civil new year, but God's name for it is Yom Teruah, the day of the shofar blast, and Yom HaDin, the day of judgment. This might be the day of the Rapture as there is some incidental evidence for it, but a few years later it will absolutely be the final day or the first of the final ten days of God's wrath and judgment upon the unrepentant nations.
Don't get confused if a scripture refers to a trumpet and think that it is necessarily pointing to the Feast of Trumpets because all God's feasts start with a trumpet.
Also in the day of your gladness, in your appointed feasts, and at the beginning of your months, you shall blow the trumpets over your burnt offerings and over the sacrifices of your peace offerings; and they shall be a memorial for you before your God: I am YHWH your God."
Numbers 10:10
Trumpets are blown to announce all appointed feasts - but they are blown 100 times (11 X 9 + 1) for the Feast of Trumpets.
For Yom Teruah there are eleven (number of judgment) series of nine patterns, plus one last trumpet, known as 'the last trumpet of God'. This is not the same as the last of the seven trumpets blown by the angel in Revelation 11:15.
Revelation 9 describes the fifth and sixth trumpets of God's wrath and 10:7 starts to describe the seventh trumpet, containing the seven thunders - but the details will be hidden until it blows.
...and [the angel] cried with a loud voice, as when a lion roars. When he cried out, seven thunders uttered their voices. Now when the seven thunders uttered their voices, I was about to write; but I heard a voice from heaven saying to me, 'Seal up the things which the seven thunders uttered, and do not write them.'
Revelation 10:3-4
I believe that the seven days of marching around Jericho before its judgment is a shadow of the seven years of Daniel's 70th week ending with the seven trumpets and 'seven thunders' shout at Yom Teruah.
But it came to pass on the seventh day that they rose early, about the dawning of the day, and marched around the city seven times in the same manner. On that day only they marched around the city seven times. And the seventh time it happened, when the priests blew the trumpets, that Joshua said to the people: 'Shout, for the Lord has given you the city!'
Joshua 6:15-16
There is a forty day period of time called the Teshuvah (repentance and return) that starts thirty days of trumpets being blown each morning before Yom Teruah. The last ten days ending with Yom Kippur, are called Yamim Noraim (the days of awe).
This is the day that Jesus, Yahshua the Messiah, will come back physically to Earth touching down on the Mount of Olives.
And in that day His feet will stand on the Mount of Olives, which faces Jerusalem on the east. And the Mount of Olives shall be split in two, from east to west, making a very large valley; half of the mountain shall move toward the north and half of it toward the south.
Zechariah 14:4
Also known as the Feast of Booths, starting five days after Yom Kippur, this represents the Millennium, the Peaceable Kingdom, when Jesus will tabernacle again with His people.
And I heard a loud voice from heaven saying, 'Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and He will dwell [Skenoo = dwell in a tent, tabernacle] with them, and they shall be His people. God Himself will be with them and be their God. And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes; there shall be no more death, nor sorrow, nor crying. There shall be no more pain, for the former things have passed away.' Then He who sat on the throne said, 'Behold, I make all things new.'
Revelation 21:3-5
The wolf also shall dwell with the lamb,
The leopard shall lie down with the young goat,
The calf and the young lion and the fatling together;
And a little child shall lead them.
The cow and the bear shall graze;
Their young ones shall lie down together;
And the lion shall eat straw like the ox.
The nursing child shall play by the cobra's hole,
And the weaned child shall put his hand in the viper's den.
They shall not hurt nor destroy in all My holy mountain,
For the earth shall be full of the knowledge of the Lord
As the waters cover the sea.
Isaiah 11:6-9
They shall beat their swords into plowshares,
And their spears into pruning hooks;
Nation shall not lift up sword against nation,
Neither shall they learn war anymore.
Isaiah 2:4
