🔥 **FINAL TRUTH**
Yhwh said:
> *"These are My feasts... a statute forever in all your generations."*
Not just for Jews. Not done away with.
These are **Yhwh’s appointed times** — and if you walk in His covenant, **you keep them**.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
## ✅ The Feasts Are Still in the Bible You’ll find them in:
* **Exodus 12, Leviticus 23, Numbers 28–29, Deuteronomy 16**
* Most modern Bibles still list them — **but the message is muted**.

## ❌ What Changed? Modern Bibles Don’t *Remove* Them — They Minimize Them
1. **No More "Forever" in Practice**
🔹 The word **"forever" (עוֹלָם)** is still there in many verses.
🔹 But pastors and footnotes claim it was "only for the Jews" or "fulfilled in Christ."
2. **New Testament Teachings Say They’re Optional or Obsolete**
🔻 Paul and later writers say the feasts were a "shadow of things to come"
🔻 Modern Christianity teaches they were "fulfilled" and no longer required
3. **Translations Soften the Command**
🔻 Hebrew: “An eternal law for all your generations”
🔻 Modern Bibles: “A lasting ordinance” — sounds optional to modern ears
4. **They’re Replaced by Pagan Holidays**
❌ Passover replaced with Easter
❌ Shavuot replaced with Pentecost Sunday
❌ Tabernacles ignored completely
❌ Sabbath replaced with Sunday

## 🔥 THE REAL ISSUE:
Modern Bibles didn’t delete the feasts — they **replaced obedience with theology.**
The words are there, but the teaching was changed:
> “Read it... but don’t DO it.”
> “It’s for the Jews.”
> “We have grace now — no need for appointed times.”
---
## 📜 BUT YHWH SAID:
> “These are My feasts... a statute forever in all your generations.” (Leviticus 23:41)
> Not Paul’s feasts. Not Jewish holidays. **YHWH’s calendar**.
