Unlike today\u2019s Jewish traditions that renamed the biblical new year and some feasts during the Babylonian exile, the Bible clearly states that Abib is the first month of the year (Exodus 12:2). This is also the season of Passover and the Feast of Unleavened Bread, pointing to important events like Israel\u2019s exodus from Egypt. These festivals\u2014along with others like Shavuot (Pentecost), Yom Teruah (Trumpets), Yom Kippurim (Atonements), and Sukkot (Tabernacles)\u2014are called the \u201cFeasts of Yahweh,\u201d not of the Jews, and are still relevant for all who are grafted into Israel (Romans 11, Ephesians 2). Leviticus 23 lists eight total feasts, including the weekly Sabbath. Of these, three are \u201cmandatory pilgrimage feasts\u201d where all males were commanded to gather\u2014Unleavened Bread, Shavuot, and Sukkot. While most of us can\u2019t travel to Jerusalem today, we\u2019re still called to observe these appointed times with reverence, sincerity, and joy\u2014at home or with fellow believers\u2014just as Yahweh intended.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-large-font-size\" style=\"padding-top:var(--wp--preset--spacing--30);padding-bottom:0;font-style:normal;font-weight:400\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/mhrf-mockup.sulkypizza.com\/?page_id=374\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/mhrf-mockup.sulkypizza.com\/?page_id=374\"><strong>THE CREATOR&#8217;S NEW YEARS DAY<\/strong> ><\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-large-font-size\" style=\"padding-top:var(--wp--preset--spacing--30);padding-bottom:0;font-style:normal;font-weight:400\"><a href=\"https:\/\/mhrf-mockup.sulkypizza.com\/?page_id=376\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/mhrf-mockup.sulkypizza.com\/?page_id=374\"><strong>THE CREATOR&#8217;S HOLIDAYS ><\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-large-font-size\" style=\"padding-top:var(--wp--preset--spacing--30);padding-bottom:0;font-style:normal;font-weight:400\"><a href=\"https:\/\/mhrf-mockup.sulkypizza.com\/?page_id=378\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/mhrf-mockup.sulkypizza.com\/?page_id=374\"><strong>THE SEVEN APPOINTED TIMES OR FEASTS ><\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When Is the Creator\u2019s New Year\u2014and What Are His Holy Days?
