Scripture classifies holidays in two ways. A holiday may be a moad (appointed time). If a moad, it may also be a chag (pilgrimage festival). Whoever makes an appointment gets to set the agenda. If you make an appointment with your boss, you set the agenda. If your boss makes the appointment, he or she sets the agenda. The maodim (plural of moad) are when God has called the Jewish people, under the covenant of Sinai, to meet with him. On these days God sets the agenda. In the Torah, God tells us what should happen on these days. There are also holidays that are not moadim, which are like parties thrown for God, in contrast to a meeting called by God. The holidays that are a chag foreshadowed Yeshua's first coming, and teach about yirat Adonai. The holidays that are not a chag foreshadow Yeshua's second coming, and teach about teshuvah. Each holiday has its own page of teaching. Please use the left menu to select a holiday. The small arrow by the top of the left menu will hide it to make a page more printer-friendly. We frequently have people ask us what we think about Christmas, and so have prepared a response. |
