God gave the feasts to Israel not to Christians under the new covenant.

They were sacrifices not rehearsals. And it is not a question of what I've figured out it is a question of why you expect anybody to "keep the feasts" knowing that the feasts as commanded in the old covenant require sacrifices, priests of the tribe of Levi and house of Aaron, and the temple. It is absurd to say that anybody is keeping the feasts according to Jehovah's commandments when they ignore the sacrifices and priests and temple and just do whatever they think is a good substitute. It is quite wicked for anybody to offer to Jehovah what they imagine is good when what they've imagined is not according to Jehovah's commandments. Remember the punishment Aaron's sons received for offering strange fire to Jehovah? This is what Jehovah spoke, saying, 'By those who come near Me I will be treated as holy, And before all the people I will be honoured.' (see Leviticus 10:1-3)
They are called mo'dems .. appointed times... because at the appointed times they will be real.

John 7: 7 After these things Jesus walked in Galilee: for he would not walk in Jewry, because the Jews sought to kill him. 2 Now the Jew's feast of tabernacles was at hand. 3 His brethren therefore said unto him, Depart hence, and go into Judaea, that thy disciples also may see the works that thou doest. 4 For there is no man that doeth any thing in secret, and he himself seeketh to be known openly. If thou do these things, shew thyself to the world. 5 For neither did his brethren believe in him. 6 Then Jesus said unto them, My time is not yet come: but your time is alway ready. 7 The world cannot hate you; but me it hateth, because I testify of it, that the works thereof are evil. 8 Go ye up unto this feast: I go not up yet unto this feast: for my time is not yet full come.

Yeshua knew that the understanding of the feasts and their prophetic message would get the people's hopes up for the Messiah, but as He said it wasn't His time to come as ben David, for that is for the second coming. He came as ben Joseph, who is be the suffering servant and fulfill His role with the first coming in the Spring Feasts.

Mark 14:41 And he cometh the third time, and saith unto them, Sleep on now, and take your rest: it is enough, the hour is come; behold, the Son of man is betrayed into the hands of sinners.

Luke 9:51 And it came to pass, when the time was come that he should be received up, he stedfastly set his face to go to Jerusalem,

Matthew 26:18 And he said, Go into the city to such a man, and say unto him, The Master saith, My time is at hand; I will keep the passover at thy house with my disciples.

Yeshua knew which prophetic feasts He was going to keep with His first coming and which ones He will keep with the second coming. I even marvel, He knew which year He would start His ministry, and when He would end His ministry.

Aren't modems those things that take modulated signals and demodulate them and vice versa? :p

They [meaning the animals whose blood was shed in the temple by priests descended from Aaron] were sacrifices not rehearsals. And it is not a question of what I've figured out [about the sacrifices made in the temple] it is a question of why you expect anybody to "keep the feasts" knowing that the feasts as commanded in the old covenant require sacrifices, priests of the tribe of Levi and house of Aaron, and the temple. It is absurd to say that anybody [in 2016 AD] is keeping the feasts according to Jehovah's commandments when they [meaning those claiming to "keep the feasts" as they are commanded in the old covenant] ignore the sacrifices and priests and temple and just do whatever they think is a good substitute. It is quite wicked for anybody to [Uoffer to Jehovah what they ]imagine is good[/U] when what they've imagined is not according to Jehovah's commandments. Remember the punishment Aaron's sons received for offering strange fire to Jehovah? This is what Jehovah spoke, saying, 'By those who come near Me I will be treated as holy, And before all the people I will be honoured.' (see Leviticus 10:1-3)

They are called mo'dems .. appointed times... because at the appointed times they will be real.

They are called feasts in the old covenant because the foods eaten included the flesh of animals sacrificed to Jehovah according to the commandments that Jehovah gave about how the feasts were to be kept. But you do not keep the feats according to Jehovah's commandments.

Yom Kippur was a fast.. not a feast as in eating party as you are indicating. Feast is also an English word chosen... Not as effective in describing its purpose as "appointed times" which let you know it is on God's calendar of events.

So do not look at any object shaped in a perceived image but look up in faith. You are to meet with Him at the time He has set aside for you. He sets the time on His calendar, at the appointed time, and He will keep His end of the bargain. You can trust God to be there. He holds this to be very sacred time. As Peter says, “It would have been better for them not to have known the way of righteousness, than to have known it and then to turn their backs on the sacred command that was passed on to them.”

I will try to show the accuracy in which Yeshua fulfilled the spring feasts at His first appearance. Few people understand that God follows a systematic plan, symbolized by Feasts on their appointed course through our history and it is all to save all humanity by offering all people eternal life in His Kingdom. It takes a step by step graduation of understanding in the workings of what it takes to remove sin from the sinner, the redemption process, and the end results of both the good and the evil in man.

Three times a year God commanded the people to come to Jerusalem to celebrate the Festivals of Passover, Pentecost, and Tabernacles. All three of these festivals are agricultural harvest Festivals. Passover is the barley harvest. Pentecost is the wheat harvest. Both of these Festivals are first fruits harvests before the final harvest that was to come at the end of the year during the Festival of Tabernacles, which is the fruit harvest. It should lead you to believe the fall feasts will also have their fulfillment with His second coming. In understanding the rehearsals of the fall feasts and the implied implications of the reality involvement dealing with His second coming, you should then be better prepared for the end times, having a better understanding of where you are to spiritually be, spiritually better prepared for what is to come upon the earth, and truly closer to the Lord that He may protect you from what is soon to come upon the earth.

The Lord made a special announcement regarding three of the feasts in which there is a demand for everyone to attend and not miss. Three times in the year, even in the feast of unleavened bread, and in the feast of weeks, and in the feast of tabernacles are you to gather. The basic meaning of the three festivals where it is mandatory for all men to appear before the temple of God are for the blessing contained within.
Pesach or Passover is known as the festival of freedom from bondage. It is freedom from the bondage of the Pharaohs of our life. Through the sacrifice and blood of our Lord Yeshua on the cross, you have freedom from sin. Sin is the leaven that you are to no longer to partake of and do.

If a person thinks they are keeping the day of atonement feast and does not go to the temple and have a priest in the line of Aaron offer sacrifice for the people then they are deceived.
