The '''feasts of God''' refer to the feasts in the [[Bible]], which [[God]] commanded His people to keep. As for a weekly feast, there is the [[Sabbath|Sabbath day]]. As for the annual feasts, there are the [[Passover]], the [[Feast of Unleavened Bread]], the [[Day of Resurrection]] [<nowiki/>[[Day of Firstfruits]]], the [[Pentecost]] [<nowiki/>[[Feast of Weeks]]], the [[Feast of Trumpets]], the [[Day of Atonement]], and the [[Feast of Tabernacles]]. The seven annual feasts are grouped into three times and are called the ''Seven Feasts in Three Times''.<ref>{{Cite web |url=https://www.studylight.org/study-desk.html?q1=Leviticus+23&OLWordSearchRange=beg&q2=&ss=0&t1=eng_n84&t2=eng_kjv&t3=eng_nas&ns=0&sr=1&ot=bhs&nt=wh&hv1=1&b=verse&d=3 |title=Leviticus 23 |publisher= }}</ref><ref name=":2">{{Cite web |url=https://www.studylight.org/study-desk.html?q1=Deuteronomy+16%3A16&q2=&ss=0&t1=eng_n84&t2=eng_kjv&t3=eng_nas&ns=0&sr=1&ot=bhs&nt=wh&hv1=1&b=verse&d=3 |title=Deuteronomy 16:16 |publisher= }}</ref>

Each feast contains the meaning of commemorating the love of [[Christ]], who sacrificed Himself for the salvation of mankind, and the power of God, who leads mankind to the [[Heaven|kingdom of heaven]]. It is also a prophecy that shows God’s work of salvation.

==Weekly Feast==
===Sabbath===
*'''Date:''' Seventh day. It falls on Saturday among the seven days of the week.
*'''Origin:''' The Sabbath day means ''a day of rest'', which originated from the fact that God rested on the seventh day after [[Six-Day Creation|creating the heavens and the earth]] for six days. God blessed and made this day holy, and appointed it as the commemoration day of the [[Creator]].<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.studylight.org/study-desk.html?q1=Genesis+2%3A1-3&q2=&ss=0&t1=eng_n84&t2=eng_kjv&t3=eng_nas&ns=0&sr=1&ot=bhs&nt=wh&hv1=1&b=verse&d=3 |title=Genesis 2:1–3}}</ref> Sabbath in Hebrew is ''Shabbat'' (שַׁבָּת) which derived from the word ''Shavat'' ([https://www.studylight.org/lexicons/eng/hebrew/7676.html שָׁבַת]), meaning “to cease” or “to rest.”

==Annual Feasts==
The annual feasts of God originated from the work of [[Moses]]. When the Israelites were enslaved in Egypt, God appointed Moses as their leader to free them and lead them to Canaan. Moses’ work for about a year from the time of the [[Exodus]] became the origin of each feast. This shows us Jesus’ work of salvation—how He would come as our Savior, free the people of God from the sinful world, and lead them to the kingdom of heaven, that is, the heavenly Canaan.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.studylight.org/study-desk.html?q1=Deuteronomy+18%3A18&q2=&ss=0&t1=eng_n84&t2=eng_kjv&t3=eng_nas&ns=0&sr=1&ot=bhs&nt=wh&hv1=1&b=verse&d=3 |title=Deuteronomy 18:18|publisher=}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.studylight.org/study-desk.html?q1=Acts+3%3A20-24&q2=&ss=0&t1=eng_n84&t2=eng_kjv&t3=eng_nas&ns=0&sr=1&ot=bhs&nt=wh&hv1=1&b=verse&d=3 |title=Acts 3:20–24|publisher=}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |url=https://www.studylight.org/study-desk.html?q1=Hebrews+3%3A2-6&q2=&ss=0&t1=eng_n84&t2=eng_kjv&t3=eng_nas&ns=0&sr=1&ot=bhs&nt=wh&hv1=1&b=verse&d=3 |title=Hebrews 3:2–6 |publisher= }}</ref>

The annual feasts consist of seven feasts, which are grouped into three times, hence they are called the ''Seven Feasts in Three Times''. Three representative feasts are the '''Feast of Unleavened Bread''', the '''Feast of Weeks,''' and the '''Feast of Tabernacles'''.<ref name=":2" />

==The Reason We Should Keep the Feasts of God==
It is God who instituted the feasts and commanded us to keep them. Every single law established by God is related to our salvation and has God’s will in it. The feasts of the Bible are also closely related to salvation. Some insist that the feasts, including the Sabbath, have been abolished in the New Testament, quoting some verses such as “I will stop her Sabbath days, all her appointed feasts” ([https://www.studylight.org/study-desk.html?q1=Hosea+2%3A11&OLWordSearchRange=beg&q2=&ss=0&t1=eng_n84&t2=eng_kjv&t3=eng_nas&ns=0&sr=1&ot=bhs&nt=wh&hv1=1&b=verse&d=3 Hosea 2:11]), “Do not let anyone judge you with regard to a religious festival, a New Moon celebration, or a Sabbath day” ([https://www.studylight.org/study-desk.html?q1=Colossians+2%3A16&OLWordSearchRange=beg&q2=&ss=0&t1=eng_n84&t2=eng_kjv&t3=eng_nas&ns=0&sr=1&ot=bhs&nt=wh&hv1=1&b=verse&d=3 Colossians 2:16]), “You are observing special days and months and seasons and years! I fear for you that somehow I have wasted my efforts on you” ([https://www.studylight.org/study-desk.html?q1=Galatians+4%3A10-11&OLWordSearchRange=beg&q2=&ss=0&t1=eng_n84&t2=eng_kjv&t3=eng_nas&ns=0&sr=1&ot=bhs&nt=wh&hv1=1&b=verse&d=3 Galatians 4:10–11]). However, the words in the book of [[Hosea]] are a warning against the worshipers of Baal,<ref>{{Cite web |url=https://www.studylight.org/study-desk.html?q1=Hosea+2%3A8-13&q2=&ss=0&t1=eng_n84&t2=eng_kjv&t3=eng_nas&ns=0&sr=1&ot=bhs&nt=wh&hv1=1&b=verse&d=3 |title=Hosea 2:8–13 |publisher= }}</ref> not the people of God. The words in the books of [[Book of Colossians|Colossians]] and [[Book of Galatians|Galatians]] mean that there is no need to keep the feasts of the [[law of Moses]] any longer since Jesus had established the [[law of Christ]] through His sacrifice on the cross.<ref>{{Cite web |url=https://www.studylight.org/study-desk.html?q1=Colossians+2%3A14-17&q2=&ss=0&t1=eng_n84&t2=eng_kjv&t3=eng_nas&ns=0&sr=1&ot=bhs&nt=wh&hv1=1&b=verse&d=3 |title=Colossians 2:14–17 |publisher= }}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |url=https://www.studylight.org/study-desk.html?q1=Galatians+4%3A3-9&q2=&ss=0&t1=eng_n84&t2=eng_kjv&t3=eng_nas&ns=0&sr=1&ot=bhs&nt=wh&hv1=1&b=verse&d=3 |title=Galatians 4:3–9 |publisher= }}</ref>

The Bible calls those who keep the feasts of God the saints. Without keeping the feasts of God, we cannot be those who are saved. This shows that the feasts of God are essential qualifications for the saints to enter the kingdom of heaven. Jesus, who came as the Savior in the New Testament times, too set an example of keeping the feasts of the new covenant. Those who keep the feasts, which are God’s commandments, by worshiping in spirit and in truth, can receive the blessing of the forgiveness of sins,<ref>{{Cite web |url=https://www.studylight.org/study-desk.html?q1=Isaiah+33%3A20-24&q2=&ss=0&t1=eng_n84&t2=eng_kjv&t3=eng_nas&ns=0&sr=1&ot=bhs&nt=wh&hv1=1&b=verse&d=3 |title=Isaiah 33:20–24 |publisher= }}</ref> according to the teachings of Jesus. It is because the feasts of the new covenant give the blessings of the forgiveness of sins and eternal life through the blood of Christ.

In the Old Testament times, sacrifices were offered in the temple at the appointed times, such as the annual feasts and the Sabbath. The Old Testament sacrifices were offered with the blood of animals in the temple, but they were replaced by spiritual sacrifices offered by the saints in the New Testament, which is to worship God in spirit and in truth. Since it is written that each saint is the temple of God, those who keep the feasts of God, such as the Sabbath and the seven feasts in three times, can be acknowledged as the saints who will be saved through the blood of Christ.

The '''feasts of God''' refer to the feasts in the [[Bible]], which [[God]] commanded His people to keep. As for a weekly feast, there is the [[Sabbath|Sabbath day]]. As for the annual feasts, there are the [[Passover]], the [[Feast of Unleavened Bread]], the [[Day of Resurrection]] [<nowiki/>[[Day of Firstfruits]]], the [[Pentecost]] [<nowiki/>[[Feast of Weeks]]], the [[Feast of Trumpets]], the [[Day of Atonement]], and the [[Feast of Tabernacles]]. The seven annual feasts are grouped into three times and are called the ''Seven Feasts in Three Times''.<ref>{{Cite web |url=https://www.studylight.org/study-desk.html?q1=Leviticus+23&OLWordSearchRange=beg&q2=&ss=0&t1=eng_n84&t2=eng_kjv&t3=eng_nas&ns=0&sr=1&ot=bhs&nt=wh&hv1=1&b=verse&d=3 |title=Leviticus 23 |publisher= }}</ref><ref name=":2">{{Cite web |url=https://www.studylight.org/study-desk.html?q1=Deuteronomy+16%3A16&q2=&ss=0&t1=eng_n84&t2=eng_kjv&t3=eng_nas&ns=0&sr=1&ot=bhs&nt=wh&hv1=1&b=verse&d=3 |title=Deuteronomy 16:16 |publisher= }}</ref>

Each feast contains the meaning of commemorating the love of [[Christ]], who sacrificed Himself for the salvation of mankind, and the power of God, who leads mankind to the [[Heaven|kingdom of heaven]]. It is also a prophecy that shows God’s work of salvation.

==Weekly Feast==
===Sabbath===
*'''Date:''' Seventh day. It falls on Saturday among the seven days of the week.
*'''Origin:''' The Sabbath day means ''a day of rest'', which originated from the fact that God rested on the seventh day after [[Six-Day Creation|creating the heavens and the earth]] for six days. God blessed and made this day holy, and appointed it as the commemoration day of the [[Creator]].<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.studylight.org/study-desk.html?q1=Genesis+2%3A1-3&q2=&ss=0&t1=eng_n84&t2=eng_kjv&t3=eng_nas&ns=0&sr=1&ot=bhs&nt=wh&hv1=1&b=verse&d=3 |title=Genesis 2:1–3}}</ref> Sabbath in Hebrew is ''Shabbat'' (שַׁבָּת) which derived from the word ''Shavat'' ([https://www.studylight.org/lexicons/eng/hebrew/7676.html שָׁבַת]), meaning “to cease” or “to rest.”

==Annual Feasts==
The annual feasts of God originated from the work of [[Moses]]. When the Israelites were enslaved in Egypt, God appointed Moses as their leader to free them and lead them to Canaan. Moses’ work for about a year from the time of the [[Exodus]] became the origin of each feast. This shows us Jesus’ work of salvation—how He would come as our Savior, free the people of God from the sinful world, and lead them to the kingdom of heaven, that is, the heavenly Canaan.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.studylight.org/study-desk.html?q1=Deuteronomy+18%3A18&q2=&ss=0&t1=eng_n84&t2=eng_kjv&t3=eng_nas&ns=0&sr=1&ot=bhs&nt=wh&hv1=1&b=verse&d=3 |title=Deuteronomy 18:18|publisher=}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.studylight.org/study-desk.html?q1=Acts+3%3A20-24&q2=&ss=0&t1=eng_n84&t2=eng_kjv&t3=eng_nas&ns=0&sr=1&ot=bhs&nt=wh&hv1=1&b=verse&d=3 |title=Acts 3:20–24|publisher=}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |url=https://www.studylight.org/study-desk.html?q1=Hebrews+3%3A2-6&q2=&ss=0&t1=eng_n84&t2=eng_kjv&t3=eng_nas&ns=0&sr=1&ot=bhs&nt=wh&hv1=1&b=verse&d=3 |title=Hebrews 3:2–6 |publisher= }}</ref>

The annual feasts consist of seven feasts, which are grouped into three times, hence they are called the ''Seven Feasts in Three Times''. Three representative feasts are the '''Feast of Unleavened Bread''', the '''Feast of Weeks,''' and the '''Feast of Tabernacles'''.<ref name=":2" />
*First Time: Passover, Feast of Unleavened Bread
*Second Time: Day of Firstfruits, Feast of Weeks
*Third Time: Feast of Trumpets, Day of Atonement, Feast of Tabernacles

*'''Date:''' Evening of the 14th day of the first month (Nisan) by the sacred calendar
*'''Origin:''' The word ''Passover'' means “disasters pass over.” It originated from the history of the Israelites, who were slaves in Egypt; around the 15th century [[B.C. and A.D.|B.C.]], they were protected from the plague and were set free by keeping the Passover.<ref name=":8">{{Cite web |url=https://www.studylight.org/study-desk.html?q1=Exodus+12&OLWordSearchRange=beg&q2=&ss=0&t1=eng_n84&t2=eng_kjv&t3=eng_nas&ns=0&sr=1&ot=bhs&nt=wh&hv1=1&b=verse&d=3 |title=Exodus 12 |publisher= }}</ref> Passover in Hebrew is ''pesach (פֶּסַח)'' which is derived from the word ''pasach (פָּסַח)'', meaning “to pass over.” In Greek, it is ''pascha (πασχα)''.
*'''Ceremony in the Old Testament:''' They slaughtered a year-old lamb and put the blood on the sides and tops of the doorframes.

==The Reason We Should Keep the Feasts of God==
It is God who instituted the feasts and commanded us to keep them. Every single law established by God is related to our salvation and has God’s will in it. The feasts of the Bible are also closely related to salvation. Some insist that the feasts, including the Sabbath, have been abolished in the New Testament, quoting some verses such as “I will stop her Sabbath days, all her appointed feasts” ([https://www.studylight.org/study-desk.html?q1=Hosea+2%3A11&OLWordSearchRange=beg&q2=&ss=0&t1=eng_n84&t2=eng_kjv&t3=eng_nas&ns=0&sr=1&ot=bhs&nt=wh&hv1=1&b=verse&d=3 Hosea 2:11]), “Do not let anyone judge you with regard to a religious festival, a New Moon celebration, or a Sabbath day” ([https://www.studylight.org/study-desk.html?q1=Colossians+2%3A16&OLWordSearchRange=beg&q2=&ss=0&t1=eng_n84&t2=eng_kjv&t3=eng_nas&ns=0&sr=1&ot=bhs&nt=wh&hv1=1&b=verse&d=3 Colossians 2:16]), “You are observing special days and months and seasons and years! I fear for you that somehow I have wasted my efforts on you” ([https://www.studylight.org/study-desk.html?q1=Galatians+4%3A10-11&OLWordSearchRange=beg&q2=&ss=0&t1=eng_n84&t2=eng_kjv&t3=eng_nas&ns=0&sr=1&ot=bhs&nt=wh&hv1=1&b=verse&d=3 Galatians 4:10–11]). However, the words in the book of [[Hosea]] are a warning against the worshipers of Baal,<ref>{{Cite web |url=https://www.studylight.org/study-desk.html?q1=Hosea+2%3A8-13&q2=&ss=0&t1=eng_n84&t2=eng_kjv&t3=eng_nas&ns=0&sr=1&ot=bhs&nt=wh&hv1=1&b=verse&d=3 |title=Hosea 2:8–13 |publisher= }}</ref> not the people of God. The words in the books of [[Book of Colossians|Colossians]] and [[Book of Galatians|Galatians]] mean that there is no need to keep the feasts of the [[law of Moses]] any longer since Jesus had established the [[law of Christ]] through His sacrifice on the cross.<ref>{{Cite web |url=https://www.studylight.org/study-desk.html?q1=Colossians+2%3A14-17&q2=&ss=0&t1=eng_n84&t2=eng_kjv&t3=eng_nas&ns=0&sr=1&ot=bhs&nt=wh&hv1=1&b=verse&d=3 |title=Colossians 2:14–17 |publisher= }}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |url=https://www.studylight.org/study-desk.html?q1=Galatians+4%3A3-9&q2=&ss=0&t1=eng_n84&t2=eng_kjv&t3=eng_nas&ns=0&sr=1&ot=bhs&nt=wh&hv1=1&b=verse&d=3 |title=Galatians 4:3–9 |publisher= }}</ref>

The Bible calls those who keep the feasts of God the saints. Without keeping the feasts of God, we cannot be those who are saved. This shows that the feasts of God are essential qualifications for the saints to enter the kingdom of heaven. Jesus, who came as the Savior in the New Testament times, too set an example of keeping the feasts of the new covenant. Those who keep the feasts, which are God’s commandments, by worshiping in spirit and in truth, can receive the blessing of the forgiveness of sins,<ref>{{Cite web |url=https://www.studylight.org/study-desk.html?q1=Isaiah+33%3A20-24&q2=&ss=0&t1=eng_n84&t2=eng_kjv&t3=eng_nas&ns=0&sr=1&ot=bhs&nt=wh&hv1=1&b=verse&d=3 |title=Isaiah 33:20–24 |publisher= }}</ref> according to the teachings of Jesus. It is because the feasts of the new covenant give the blessings of the forgiveness of sins and eternal life through the blood of Christ.

The saints of the New Testament are likened to the temple of God.<ref>{{Cite web |url=https://www.studylight.org/study-desk.html?q1=1+Corinthians+3%3A16-17&q2=&ss=0&t1=eng_n84&t2=eng_kjv&t3=eng_nas&ns=0&sr=1&ot=bhs&nt=wh&hv1=1&b=verse&d=3 |title=1 Corinthians 3:16–17 |publisher= }}</ref> A temple is a place where sacrifices are offered to God according to the words of the covenant. In the Old Testament times, sacrifices were offered in the temple at the appointed times, such as the annual feasts and the Sabbath. The Old Testament sacrifices were offered with the blood of animals in the temple, but they were replaced by spiritual sacrifices offered by the saints in the New Testament, which is to worship God in spirit and in truth. Since it is written that each saint is the temple of God, those who keep the feasts of God, such as the Sabbath and the seven feasts in three times, can be acknowledged as the saints who will be saved through the blood of Christ.

The Feasts of God

Carnelian: /* Feast of Tabernacles */

{{그림 |회당에서 가르치시는 예수님.PNG|너비= 300px |정렬=오른쪽섬네일 |타이틀=Jesus set an example of worshiping in spirit and in truth}}
The '''feasts of God''' refer to the feasts in the [[Bible]], which [[God]] commanded His people to keep. As for a weekly feast, there is the [[Sabbath|Sabbath day]]. As for the annual feasts, there are the [[Passover]], the [[Feast of Unleavened Bread]], the [[Day of Resurrection]] [<nowiki/>[[Day of Firstfruits]]], the [[Pentecost]] [<nowiki/>[[Feast of Weeks]]], the [[Feast of Trumpets]], the [[Day of Atonement]], and the [[Feast of Tabernacles]]. The seven annual feasts are grouped into three times and are called the ''Seven Feasts in Three Times''.<ref>{{Cite web |url=https://www.studylight.org/study-desk.html?q1=Leviticus+23&OLWordSearchRange=beg&q2=&ss=0&t1=eng_n84&t2=eng_kjv&t3=eng_nas&ns=0&sr=1&ot=bhs&nt=wh&hv1=1&b=verse&d=3 |title=Leviticus 23 |publisher= }}</ref><ref name=":2">{{Cite web |url=https://www.studylight.org/study-desk.html?q1=Deuteronomy+16%3A16&q2=&ss=0&t1=eng_n84&t2=eng_kjv&t3=eng_nas&ns=0&sr=1&ot=bhs&nt=wh&hv1=1&b=verse&d=3 |title=Deuteronomy 16:16 |publisher= }}</ref>

Each feast contains the meaning of commemorating the love of [[Christ]], who sacrificed Himself for the salvation of mankind, and the power of God, who leads mankind to the [[Heaven|kingdom of heaven]]. It is also a prophecy that shows God’s work of salvation.

==Weekly Feast==
===Sabbath===
*'''Date:''' Seventh day. It falls on Saturday among the seven days of the week.
*'''Origin:''' The Sabbath day means ''a day of rest'', which originated from the fact that God rested on the seventh day after [[Six-Day Creation|creating the heavens and the earth]] for six days. God blessed and made this day holy, and appointed it as the commemoration day of the [[Creator]].<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.studylight.org/study-desk.html?q1=Genesis+2%3A1-3&q2=&ss=0&t1=eng_n84&t2=eng_kjv&t3=eng_nas&ns=0&sr=1&ot=bhs&nt=wh&hv1=1&b=verse&d=3 |title=Genesis 2:1–3}}</ref> Sabbath in Hebrew is ''Shabbat'' (שַׁבָּת) which derived from the word ''Shavat'' ([https://www.studylight.org/lexicons/eng/hebrew/7676.html שָׁבַת]), meaning “to cease” or “to rest.”

==Annual Feasts==
The annual feasts of God originated from the work of [[Moses]]. When the Israelites were enslaved in Egypt, God appointed Moses as their leader to free them and lead them to Canaan. Moses’ work for about a year from the time of the [[Exodus]] became the origin of each feast. This shows us Jesus’ work of salvation—how He would come as our Savior, free the people of God from the sinful world, and lead them to the kingdom of heaven, that is, the heavenly Canaan.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.studylight.org/study-desk.html?q1=Deuteronomy+18%3A18&q2=&ss=0&t1=eng_n84&t2=eng_kjv&t3=eng_nas&ns=0&sr=1&ot=bhs&nt=wh&hv1=1&b=verse&d=3 |title=Deuteronomy 18:18|publisher=}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.studylight.org/study-desk.html?q1=Acts+3%3A20-24&q2=&ss=0&t1=eng_n84&t2=eng_kjv&t3=eng_nas&ns=0&sr=1&ot=bhs&nt=wh&hv1=1&b=verse&d=3 |title=Acts 3:20–24|publisher=}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |url=https://www.studylight.org/study-desk.html?q1=Hebrews+3%3A2-6&q2=&ss=0&t1=eng_n84&t2=eng_kjv&t3=eng_nas&ns=0&sr=1&ot=bhs&nt=wh&hv1=1&b=verse&d=3 |title=Hebrews 3:2–6 |publisher= }}</ref>

The annual feasts consist of seven feasts, which are grouped into three times, hence they are called the ''Seven Feasts in Three Times''. Three representative feasts are the '''Feast of Unleavened Bread''', the '''Feast of Weeks,''' and the '''Feast of Tabernacles'''.<ref name=":2" />
*First Time: Passover, Feast of Unleavened Bread
*Second Time: Day of Firstfruits, Feast of Weeks
*Third Time: Feast of Trumpets, Day of Atonement, Feast of Tabernacles

*'''Date:''' Evening of the 14th day of the first month (Nisan) by the sacred calendar
*'''Origin:''' The word ''Passover'' means “disasters pass over.” It originated from the history of the Israelites, who were slaves in Egypt; around the 15th century [[B.C. and A.D.|B.C.]], they were protected from the plague and were set free by keeping the Passover.<ref name=":8">{{Cite web |url=https://www.studylight.org/study-desk.html?q1=Exodus+12&OLWordSearchRange=beg&q2=&ss=0&t1=eng_n84&t2=eng_kjv&t3=eng_nas&ns=0&sr=1&ot=bhs&nt=wh&hv1=1&b=verse&d=3 |title=Exodus 12 |publisher= }}</ref> Passover in Hebrew is ''pesach (פֶּסַח)'' which is derived from the word ''pasach (פָּסַח)'', meaning “to pass over.” In Greek, it is ''pascha (πασχα)''.

==The Reason We Should Keep the Feasts of God==
It is God who instituted the feasts and commanded us to keep them. Every single law established by God is related to our salvation and has God’s will in it. The feasts of the Bible are also closely related to salvation. Some insist that the feasts, including the Sabbath, have been abolished in the New Testament, quoting some verses such as “I will stop her Sabbath days, all her appointed feasts” ([https://www.studylight.org/study-desk.html?q1=Hosea+2%3A11&OLWordSearchRange=beg&q2=&ss=0&t1=eng_n84&t2=eng_kjv&t3=eng_nas&ns=0&sr=1&ot=bhs&nt=wh&hv1=1&b=verse&d=3 Hosea 2:11]), “Do not let anyone judge you with regard to a religious festival, a New Moon celebration, or a Sabbath day” ([https://www.studylight.org/study-desk.html?q1=Colossians+2%3A16&OLWordSearchRange=beg&q2=&ss=0&t1=eng_n84&t2=eng_kjv&t3=eng_nas&ns=0&sr=1&ot=bhs&nt=wh&hv1=1&b=verse&d=3 Colossians 2:16]), “You are observing special days and months and seasons and years! I fear for you that somehow I have wasted my efforts on you” ([https://www.studylight.org/study-desk.html?q1=Galatians+4%3A10-11&OLWordSearchRange=beg&q2=&ss=0&t1=eng_n84&t2=eng_kjv&t3=eng_nas&ns=0&sr=1&ot=bhs&nt=wh&hv1=1&b=verse&d=3 Galatians 4:10–11]). However, the words in the book of [[Hosea]] are a warning against the worshipers of Baal,<ref>{{Cite web |url=https://www.studylight.org/study-desk.html?q1=Hosea+2%3A8-13&q2=&ss=0&t1=eng_n84&t2=eng_kjv&t3=eng_nas&ns=0&sr=1&ot=bhs&nt=wh&hv1=1&b=verse&d=3 |title=Hosea 2:8–13 |publisher= }}</ref> not the people of God. The words in the books of [[Book of Colossians|Colossians]] and [[Book of Galatians|Galatians]] mean that there is no need to keep the feasts of the [[law of Moses]] any longer since Jesus had established the [[law of Christ]] through His sacrifice on the cross.<ref>{{Cite web |url=https://www.studylight.org/study-desk.html?q1=Colossians+2%3A14-17&q2=&ss=0&t1=eng_n84&t2=eng_kjv&t3=eng_nas&ns=0&sr=1&ot=bhs&nt=wh&hv1=1&b=verse&d=3 |title=Colossians 2:14–17 |publisher= }}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |url=https://www.studylight.org/study-desk.html?q1=Galatians+4%3A3-9&q2=&ss=0&t1=eng_n84&t2=eng_kjv&t3=eng_nas&ns=0&sr=1&ot=bhs&nt=wh&hv1=1&b=verse&d=3 |title=Galatians 4:3–9 |publisher= }}</ref>

The Bible calls those who keep the feasts of God the saints. Without keeping the feasts of God, we cannot be those who are saved. This shows that the feasts of God are essential qualifications for the saints to enter the kingdom of heaven. Jesus, who came as the Savior in the New Testament times, too set an example of keeping the feasts of the new covenant. Those who keep the feasts, which are God’s commandments, by worshiping in spirit and in truth, can receive the blessing of the forgiveness of sins,<ref>{{Cite web |url=https://www.studylight.org/study-desk.html?q1=Isaiah+33%3A20-24&q2=&ss=0&t1=eng_n84&t2=eng_kjv&t3=eng_nas&ns=0&sr=1&ot=bhs&nt=wh&hv1=1&b=verse&d=3 |title=Isaiah 33:20–24 |publisher= }}</ref> according to the teachings of Jesus. It is because the feasts of the new covenant give the blessings of the forgiveness of sins and eternal life through the blood of Christ.

{{quote5|내용=He summons the heavens above, and the earth, that he may judge his people: “Gather to me my consecrated ones, who made a covenant with me by sacrifice.”|출처=[https://www.studylight.org/study-desk.html?q1=Psalm+50%3A4-5&OLWordSearchRange=beg&q2=&ss=0&t1=eng_n84&t2=eng_kjv&t3=eng_nas&ns=0&sr=1&ot=bhs&nt=wh&hv1=1&b=verse&d=3 Psalm 50:4–5]}}{{quote5|내용=This calls for patient endurance on the part of the saints who obey God’s commandments and remain faithful to Jesus.|출처=[https://www.studylight.org/study-desk.html?q1=Revelation+14%3A12&OLWordSearchRange=beg&q2=&ss=0&t1=eng_n84&t2=eng_kjv&t3=eng_nas&ns=0&sr=1&ot=bhs&nt=wh&hv1=1&b=verse&d=3 Revelation 14:12]}}

The saints of the New Testament are likened to the temple of God.<ref>{{Cite web |url=https://www.studylight.org/study-desk.html?q1=1+Corinthians+3%3A16-17&q2=&ss=0&t1=eng_n84&t2=eng_kjv&t3=eng_nas&ns=0&sr=1&ot=bhs&nt=wh&hv1=1&b=verse&d=3 |title=1 Corinthians 3:16–17 |publisher= }}</ref> A temple is a place where sacrifices are offered to God according to the words of the covenant. In the Old Testament times, sacrifices were offered in the temple at the appointed times, such as the annual feasts and the Sabbath. The Old Testament sacrifices were offered with the blood of animals in the temple, but they were replaced by spiritual sacrifices offered by the saints in the New Testament, which is to worship God in spirit and in truth. Since it is written that each saint is the temple of God, those who keep the feasts of God, such as the Sabbath and the seven feasts in three times, can be acknowledged as the saints who will be saved through the blood of Christ.

==The Origin of the Feast of Tabernacles==
On the tenth day of the seventh month by the sacred calendar in the first year after coming out of Egypt and heading for Canaan, [[Moses]] descended from Mount Sinai [Horeb] after receiving the second set of the [[Ten Commandments]], and gave the Israelites detailed explanations of how to build the tabernacle to keep the Ten Commandments and of the materials for the tabernacle.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.studylight.org/study-desk.html?q1=Exodus+34%3A4-35&q2=&ss=0&t1=eng_n84&t2=eng_kjv&t3=eng_nas&ns=0&sr=1&ot=bhs&nt=wh&hv1=1&b=verse&d=3 |title=Exodus 34:4–35|publisher=|quote= }}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.studylight.org/study-desk.html?q1=Exodus+35%3A4-19&q2=&ss=0&t1=eng_n84&t2=eng_kjv&t3=eng_nas&ns=0&sr=1&ot=bhs&nt=wh&hv1=1&b=verse&d=3 |title=Exodus 35:4–19|publisher=|quote= }}</ref> The people willingly brought materials for the tabernacle.

==The Ceremony of the Feast of Tabernacles==
===Old Testament Times===
The Israelites commemorated the Feast of Tabernacles by making booths. They cut off branches from [https://www.britannica.com/plant/palm-tree palm trees], [https://www.britannica.com/plant/myrtle myrtle trees], shade trees, etc., and built booths and joyfully lived in them for seven days.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.studylight.org/study-desk.html?q1=Leviticus+23%3A40-42&q2=&ss=0&t1=eng_n84&t2=eng_kjv&t3=eng_nas&ns=0&sr=1&ot=bhs&nt=wh&hv1=1&b=verse&d=3 |title=Leviticus 23:40–42|publisher=|quote= }}</ref> They helped their neighbors in need and kept the feast holy.<ref name=":3" /> Through this, they commemorated the work of building the tabernacle in the desert and their ancestors’ living in tents for forty years.

In the sanctuary, sacrifices such as [[Sacrifice in the Old Testament|grain offerings]] and [[Sacrifice in the Old Testament|drink offerings]] were offered according to the regulations of the Feast of Tabernacles apart from [[Regular Burnt Offering|regular burnt offerings]].<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.studylight.org/study-desk.html?q1=Leviticus+23%3A34-37&q2=&ss=0&t1=eng_n84&t2=eng_kjv&t3=eng_nas&ns=0&sr=1&ot=bhs&nt=wh&hv1=1&b=verse&d=3 |title=Leviticus 23:34–37|publisher=|quote= }}</ref> Every day during the seven days of the Feast, bulls, rams, and male lambs of the first year were offered as the [[Sacrifice in the Old Testament|burnt offerings]], and their grain offerings were offered according to the number specified. As a [[Sacrifice in the Old Testament|sin offering]], one male goat was offered every day.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.studylight.org/study-desk.html?q1=Numbers+29%3A12-39&q2=&ss=0&t1=eng_n84&t2=eng_kjv&t3=eng_nas&ns=0&sr=1&ot=bhs&nt=wh&hv1=1&b=verse&d=3 |title=Numbers 29:12–39|publisher= |quote= }}</ref>

===New Testament Times===
The ceremony of building booths with grass and branches and living in them, rejoicing for seven days, and the work of people bringing materials for the making of the holy tabernacle in the days of Moses, were a prophecy about the completion of the [[gospel]] work on the earth as the saints represented by the trees<ref name=":0">{{Cite web|url=https://www.studylight.org/study-desk.html?q1=Jeremiah+5%3A14&q2=&ss=0&t1=eng_n84&t2=eng_kjv&t3=eng_nas&ns=0&sr=1&ot=bhs&nt=wh&hv1=1&b=verse&d=3 |title=Jeremiah 5:14|publisher=|quote= }}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.studylight.org/study-desk.html?q1=Matthew+7%3A16-19&q2=&ss=0&t1=eng_n84&t2=eng_kjv&t3=eng_nas&ns=0&sr=1&ot=bhs&nt=wh&hv1=1&b=verse&d=3 |title=Matthew 7:16–19|publisher=|quote= }}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.studylight.org/study-desk.html?q1=Revelation+9%3A4&q2=&ss=0&t1=eng_n84&t2=eng_kjv&t3=eng_nas&ns=0&sr=1&ot=bhs&nt=wh&hv1=1&b=verse&d=3 |title=Revelation 9:4|publisher=|quote= }}</ref> and temple materials<ref name=":1">{{Cite web |url=https://www.studylight.org/study-desk.html?q1=Revelation+3%3A12&q2=&ss=0&t1=eng_n84&t2=eng_kjv&t3=eng_nas&ns=0&sr=1&ot=bhs&nt=wh&hv1=1&b=verse&d=3 |title=Revelation 3:12 |publisher= |quote= }}</ref><ref name=":2">{{Cite web |url=https://www.studylight.org/study-desk.html?q1=Ephesians+2%3A20-22&q2=&ss=0&t1=eng_n84&t2=eng_kjv&t3=eng_nas&ns=0&sr=1&ot=bhs&nt=wh&hv1=1&b=verse&d=3 |title=Ephesians 2:20–22 |publisher= |quote= }}</ref> are gathered.

* '''The Anointed One'''
[[file:Bénouville, Samuel sacrant David.jpg |thumb| 250px |''The Anointing of David by Samuel'' by Francois-Léon Benouville (1821–1859)]]

===Israel Before Christ’s Coming===
Israel was located at a strategic point where many civilizations intersected and the interests of neighboring countries conflicted. Since it was a small country, it suffered many invasions from other countries such as Egypt, Assyria, and Babylon (New Babylonia) for a long time. For this reason, it is called the “afflicted nation.”<ref>[https://embassies.gov.il/UnGeneva/AboutIsrael/history/Pages/History-Israel-Timeline.aspx Mission of Israel to the UN in Geneva], HISTORY of Israel: Timeline</ref> Around 4 BC, which is presumed by historians to be the time when Jesus was born, Israel was suffering from heavy taxes, tyranny, and oppression under Roman authority.<ref>Everyday Biblical Literacy : The Essential Guide to Biblical Allusions in Art, Literature, and Life, J.

Christ, who was prophesied in the Old Testament, did not appear for the physical liberation of the Jews, but for the spiritual liberation and salvation of all mankind.

===Bible Prophecies and Their Fulfillment===
The Bible is a book that testifies about the Savior<ref name=":7" /> and records prophecies about Christ who is to come. Jesus Christ lived according to the prophecies of the Old Testament, which include His birth, [[Suffering on the Cross|suffering on the cross]], resurrection, and ascension. The works of Jesus are proof that Jesus is the true Christ (God) prophesied in the Bible.

In the 16th century, [https://www.britannica.com/event/Reformation the Reformation] took place, and religious reformers such as [https://www.britannica.com/biography/Martin-Luther Luther], [https://www.britannica.com/biography/John-Calvin Calvin], and [https://www.britannica.com/biography/Huldrych-Zwingli Zwingli] achieved freedom of faith against the corruption and irrational doctrines of the Roman Catholic Church. Since then, many Protestant churches were established, but no one was able to restore the truth of the new covenant. Even though the world is filled with numerous denominations, the truth of the new covenant that Jesus established cannot be found. This is in accordance with what Jesus prophesied 2,000 years ago in which He said that no true faith would be found when He comes again.<ref>[https://www.studylight.org/study-desk.html?q1=Luke+18%3A8&OLWordSearchRange=beg&q2=&ss=0&t1=eng_n84&t2=eng_kjv&t3=eng_nas&ns=0&sr=1&ot=bhs&nt=wh&hv1=1&b=verse&d=3 Luke 18:8]</ref>

===Recovery of the New Covenant===
The Bible says that those who forsake God’s commandments and keep rules taught by men will lose wisdom and understanding and the whole vision of God will be nothing but words sealed in a scroll to them.<ref>{{Cite web |url=https://www.studylight.org/study-desk.html?q1=Isaiah+29%3A11-14&q2=&ss=0&t1=eng_n84&t2=eng_kjv&t3=eng_nas&ns=0&sr=1&ot=bhs&nt=wh&hv1=1&b=verse&d=3 |title=Isaiah 29:11–14 |publisher= }}</ref> After the Apostolic Age, the truth of the new covenant disappeared, and the commands of men such as Sunday worship and Christmas became widespread in the church. This means that the Bible, which contains the revelations of God, became sealed to all people in the world. Only the [[Root of David]], Second Coming Jesus, can open the sealed Bible and give salvation.<ref>{{Cite web |url=https://www.studylight.org/study-desk.html?q1=Revelation+5%3A1-5&q2=&ss=0&t1=eng_n84&t2=eng_kjv&t3=eng_nas&ns=0&sr=1&ot=bhs&nt=wh&hv1=1&b=verse&d=3 |title=Revelation 5:1–5 |publisher= }}</ref> It means that Christ must appear a second time for the salvation of mankind.
{{quote5|내용='''Christ''' was sacrificed once to take away the sins of many people; and he will appear a '''second time''', not to bear sin, but to bring '''salvation''' to those who are waiting for him.|출처=[https://www.studylight.org/study-desk.html?q1=Hebrews+9%3A28&q2=&ss=0&t1=eng_n84&t2=eng_kjv&t3=eng_nas&ns=0&sr=1&ot=bhs&nt=wh&hv1=1&b=verse&d=3 Hebrews 9:28]}}

The Bible says that Christ, who is to come again for the salvation of mankind, will restore the Passover, the core truth of the new covenant.
{{quote5|내용=On this mountain the LORD Almighty will prepare a feast of rich food for all peoples, a banquet of '''aged wine''' . . . '''he will swallow up death forever'''. . . . In that day they will say, “Surely this is our God; we trusted in him, and he saved us. This is the LORD, we trusted in him; let us rejoice and be glad in his salvation.”|출처=[https://www.studylight.org/study-desk.html?q1=Isaiah+25%3A6-9&q2=&ss=0&t1=eng_n84&t2=eng_kjv&t3=eng_nas&ns=0&sr=1&ot=bhs&nt=wh&hv1=1&b=verse&d=3 Isaiah 25:6–9]}}

In this verse, there are two main points about the wine: It is aged wine and God will swallow up death forever with it. Swallowing up death forever means giving eternal life. The only wine that has the promise of eternal life in the Bible is the wine of the Holy Supper of the Passover. <ref name=":6" /><ref>{{Cite web |url=https://www.studylight.org/study-desk.html?q1=John+6%3A53-54&q2=&ss=0&t1=eng_n84&t2=eng_kjv&t3=eng_nas&ns=0&sr=1&ot=bhs&nt=wh&hv1=1&b=verse&d=3 |title=John 6:53–54 |publisher= }}</ref> It is aged wine because the Passover of the new covenant was abolished in AD 325 and was not kept for roughly 1,600 years. According to the prophecy, the One who restores the [[New Covenant Passover]] is Second Coming Christ.

===Bible Prophecies and Their Fulfillment===
The Bible foretold Jesus’ work in advance even before His birth. It also prophesies when, where, and with what kind of appearance and signs Second Coming Christ will appear.

The Church of God’s Response to COVID-19

Carnelian: /* Support for Vulnerable Groups and Schools */

The '''Church of God''' is actively carrying out the activities to '''respond to COVID-19''' around the world. The church members thoroughly abide by the COVID-19 preventive measures in their respective countries, strengthening the virus prevention of each church and practicing social distancing. The church constantly supports their neighbors in various ways so that they can overcome the pandemic with God’s love.<br>The church encourages those who are suffering from financial difficulties due to the COVID-19 pandemic by delivering donations and daily necessities such as groceries. For the medical staff and essential workers, the church delivers COVID-19 prevention supplies, snacks, and letters of encouragement. The church also brings joy to families, neighbors, and communities by sharing videos online and holding the Happy Webinar and [[Flower Letter Campaign]] to support positive mental health.<br>In addition, the church is making every effort to protect the global environment, which has become more polluted due to the COVID-19 pandemic. In order to solve the environmental problems caused by the rapid increase in the use of disposable items, the church carries out activities such as [[The No More GPGP Project (Reducing Plastic Use)|reducing plastic use campaigns]] and environmental cleanups.<br>

==Background and Purpose of the Activity==
As the [https://www.who.int/health-topics/coronavirus#tab=tab_1 COVID-19] pandemic, which began in early 2020, is prolonged, so are the aftereffects. The entire world fell into social, economic, and psychological shock due to the anxiety and fear of infection, difficulties in the medical and quarantine systems, unemployment, and other economic difficulties. As social distancing and non-face-to-face activities became a daily routine, people’s emotional isolation deepened. A new term called Corona Blue was formed which means depression caused by COVID-19, and another term called Corona Red which refers to anger beyond depression.<br>In order to respond to COVID-19, [[the Church of God Headquarters]] strengthened the preventive measures of churches around the world and actively cooperated with the pandemic prevention policies of each country by turning to online [[Worship|worship services]] and education for members.<ref>{{Cite web |url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DuYnDniaD3M |title=Church of God COVID-19 Prevention Video |website=Church of God Media |publisher= |date=August 19, 2020 |year= |author= |page= |series= |isbn= |quote= }}</ref> In accordance with [[Christ]]’s teaching, “Be the salt and light of the world,”<ref>{{Cite web |url=https://www.studylight.org/study-desk.html?q1=Matthew+5%3A13-14&q2=&ss=0&t1=eng_n84&t2=eng_kjv&t3=eng_nas&ns=0&sr=1&ot=bhs&nt=wh&hv1=1&b=verse&d=3 |title=Matthew 5:13–14 |publisher= |quote=}}</ref> the church carried out timely volunteer services and relief activities to take care of the members and their neighbors who were suffering from the pandemic.

The Church of God’s response to COVID-19 is carried out throughout society, including support for medical staff and related workers for pandemic prevention, support for vulnerable groups and residents, support for relieving citizens’ emotional isolation, emergency relief, blood drives, and environmental cleanups. All the activities are carried out in strict accordance with the pandemic prevention regulations of each country.<br>

===Support for Vulnerable Groups and Schools===
Due to the prolonged pandemic, the number of people experiencing financial difficulties such as unemployment and income reduction has increased significantly. Particularly, the suffering of vulnerable groups, such as senior citizens living alone, has increased, and it is even difficult for them to pay for fixed expenses such as hospital expenses and house rent.<ref>Kim Parker et al., [https://www.pewresearch.org/social-trends/2020/09/24/economic-fallout-from-covid-19-continues-to-hit-lower-income-americans-the-hardest/ "Economic Fallout From COVID-19 Continues To Hit Lower-Income Americans the Hardest,"] <i>Pew Research Center</i>, Sept. 24. 2020.</ref><br>

Government agencies and municipalities also have asked the Church of God to help. In Chile, an official from the Ministry of the Interior invited members from the Church of God to the presidential palace, expressed gratitude for their continued service, and requested support for poorer regions. At this request, the church donated groceries to quarantined households and more than 80 households in Aysen and Coyhaique. In San Bernardo, La Florida, Quilicura, San Miguel, Arica, Vina del Mar, and Talca, the church donated daily necessities, including groceries, in cooperation with various local governments.

The '''Church of God''' is actively carrying out the activities to '''respond to COVID-19''' around the world.

==Background and Purpose of the Activity==
As the [https://www.who.int/health-topics/coronavirus#tab=tab_1 COVID-19] pandemic, which began in early 2020, is prolonged, so are the aftereffects. The entire world fell into social, economic, and psychological shock due to the anxiety and fear of infection, difficulties in the medical and quarantine systems, unemployment, and other economic difficulties. As social distancing and non-face-to-face activities became a daily routine, people’s emotional isolation deepened. A new term called Corona Blue was formed which means depression caused by COVID-19, and another term called Corona Red which refers to anger beyond depression.<br>In order to respond to COVID-19, [[the Church of God Headquarters]] strengthened the preventive measures of churches around the world and actively cooperated with the pandemic prevention policies of each country by turning to online [[Worship|worship services]] and education for members.<ref>{{Cite web |url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DuYnDniaD3M |title=Church of God COVID-19 Prevention Video |website=Church of God Media |publisher= |date=August 19, 2020 |year= |author= |page= |series= |isbn= |quote= }}</ref> In accordance with [[Christ]]’s teaching, “Be the salt and light of the world,”<ref>{{Cite web |url=https://www.studylight.org/study-desk.html?q1=Matthew+5%3A13-14&q2=&ss=0&t1=eng_n84&t2=eng_kjv&t3=eng_nas&ns=0&sr=1&ot=bhs&nt=wh&hv1=1&b=verse&d=3 |title=Matthew 5:13–14 |publisher= |quote=}}</ref> the church carried out timely volunteer services and relief activities to take care of the members and their neighbors who were suffering from the pandemic.

All the activities are carried out in strict accordance with the pandemic prevention regulations of each country.<br>

===Support for Vulnerable Groups and Schools===
Due to the prolonged pandemic, the number of people experiencing financial difficulties such as unemployment and income reduction has increased significantly.
