Holy Days
Holy Days or Moedim
We celebrate the Feasts of Yehovah as they are instructed in the Torah. These Feasts were HIS Feasts (not a Feast of the Jews as many state today) and we are instructed to observe them for ALL time. This is for anyone that chooses to serve Yehovah and for those who claim Yeshua as their Messiah. These Feasts are called Moedim in Hebrew and mean appointed times. They are times when the Father comes to meet with HIS chosen ones and they have become a time of great celebration for us as we follow His instructions and rejoice that our names are written in the Lamb’s Book of Life.
The Feasts of Yehovah are also shadow pictures of things to come. We need to understand that they are prophetic rehearsals that show us what the future holds for those who put their trust in Yeshua as their sacrifice for sin.
Many will ask “Why do you keep these Feasts which are now done away with?”. Great question and glad you asked….. First, no where in Scripture do you find they were done away with. NO WHERE! Second, 1 John 2:6 states If we claim we have Yeshua as our Messiah, we should live our life like He lived His. Both Yeshua and all the disciples kept the Feasts and so it is our honor to be invited to keep them as well.

HOLIDAYS THAT ARE NOT BIBLICALLY COMMANDED BY Yehovah
*Purim and Hanukah are NOT commanded Feasts of Yehovah. We choose to celebrate them for several reasons but do not teach you must observe them.
- We know from Scripture that Yeshua attended the Feast of Hanukah so if it was good enough for Him it is good enough for us. Hanukah is also a great celebration of Yehovah’s mighty hand delivering his people from Greek sun god worship and we choose to celebrate this great event in Israel’s history.
- Purim is celebrating another great day in Israel’s history which is recorded in the Bible in the book of Esther. We choose to celebrate this great Biblical event and enjoy a day rejoicing in Yehovah and praying for our brothers and sisters in Israel and around the globe.
- We believe that there will be future significance in these dates in prophecy.
- There is nothing wrong with celebrating Holidays that were not given by Yehovah as long as we don’t teach it as Law and it is not pagan in origin.
**Important. We may be one of the few assemblies you encounter that do not argue over their calendar. We schedule our group get togethers on the Jewish Calendar for planning purposes but we also honor the Moedim at God’s appointed times which was according to the moon sighting. We do both and we do it with joy in our heart and without arguing or frustration. The only exception is Shavuot / Pentecost. We do not follow the Jewish calendar on this Holy Day because it denies that Yeshua fulfilled the First Fruits offering in heaven.
For more information on this or any Biblical calendar we will answer questions in person on two conditions.
1) You are asking out of genuineness of heart and not from an argumentative spirit.
2) You are regular attender at House of Scripture or contemplating attending on a regular basis.
We also are committed to not belittle others who see things differently and hope you will have the same heart and attitude as well.
***We Celebrate the Feast Days from sundown to sundown which is the true definition of a day in the time of Yeshua and as declared by the Almighty in the Torah.
