   Words are like, sticks, stones or arrows. You can hurt people with them just like you can hurt people with sticks or stones.  The greater the authority one has in the Spirit, the more careful he or she must be as they can end up wounding and destroying peoples spirit man causing a lot of pain and damage.
   Just like the Spirit of  God uses inspired words, demonic spirits are also empowered by negative or careless words at times to attack people with them.

   When Christians argue that “keeping the Feasts of the Tenach is being under law”, they are speaking out of ignorance.  No offence but it is gentile gibberish.

   If these relevant days on God’s calendar have been abolished and have no meaning in the Messianic age, I guess Ezekiel & Zecheriah were false prophets.  for they declared that all the nations (gentiles) will flock together to Jerusalem 3 times a year to worship God and the King (Messiah) in the millenium:  Feast of Tabernacles, Passover & New Year (Zech 14:16, Ezek 45:18-20, Ezek 45:21-25).  So these words indicate that EVEN AFTER YESHUA RETURNS, these days will be holy convocations and memorials to God and the Messiah!  I think I’ll believe the prophets over some  johnny come lately.

   My brothers…..stop reading the Bible (including the New Covenant) through gentile, Christian Western eyes when it was obviously written by Jewish, Middle Eastern, Torah observant men.

   I disagree with the first caller, he was saying that it was a slap in the face to Yeshua to celebrate the feasts which all point to Him?  The second caller for December 25th, that date was chosen because of a pagan ruler’s sons birthdate.  The third caller has the right “feeling”, I could understand why she would not want to commemorate anything that takes the focus off of her Lord and places it on underlying of a goddess named Ishtar…  Now the big thing that I found interesting was when Dr. Brown raised the question about the feast of trumpets.  If the converted gentiles into the kingdom have no knowledge of the feasts, how will they know these things?  Some know, but I am betting that the majority do not.  Some believers learn by research and study, some believers learn by doing… How can we collectively know what to look for unless all believers are in the knowledge of the feasts?
   I believe that it is not mandatory to celebrate the feasts; but consider this, G-d wants us to choose to please him, to choose to glorify him and etc.  How is it that the goyim are frowned upon for partaking in the celebration of His appointed Holy days?  Are they not worthy enough?  Since Christmas and Easter are pagan holidays which steer the focus away from Him, are the gentiles not suppose to celebrate anything at all throughout the year?  What was the purpose of them being grafted in?  True enough, they are not suppose to adhere to the laws in which Yeshua completed/satisfied/fulfilled; like the dietary laws and wearing a yamaka, etc.  But the Jews are released of those type laws as well.  Are there new feasts that Yeshua created for the second covenant?

   It seems like this is yet another wall that the enemy is happy to support as it provides further divide between Jew and Gentile.

   We read in the Revelation 20 of the first and second resurrections.  The city god loves, Jerusalem, is referred to there being defended from the Gog and Magog all nations war after the 1000 year reign of the Messiah with his first Resurrected ones.  This then is after the Return to complete the Covenant with David and promises given to Israel.  Certainly the Millennium includes the season with the realized as promised Messianic Kingdom from Jerusalem.  Zech. will come to mind as He is visibly seen in the sky, then lands on the Mt. of Olives to complete the Restoration of that promised in reference to Him.  He has defeated and crushed the Anti-Messiah, and he will set up a governmnet we can only imagine for that Kingdom Age on earth.

   Of course the Nations celebrating these feasts and festivals will be relevant to that season In the Messiah!  Of course it is beneficial to know of their worth in such applications during the coming Kingdom Age.  Of course God’s people can benefit from a forward looking view of the Return, and its coming changes on earth.  Of course we will need to support a remnant in Israel when forces there are attempting to replace the true Messiah, as well as the saints are attempting Yeshua’s clear witness.  Jerusalem is referred to in the Revl. 20 as the city He loves.  Learning of his family’s values and events is not contrary to His Return, but, likely is suportive of the coming realization in Israel, of “blessed is He who comes [present tense] in the Name of the Lord.”

   Yeshua said his Temple was to be a house of prayer for all nations.  Clearly this is during the Millennial reign of the Prince from Ezekel’s Templed Jerusalem.
