We restore the Sabbath, Feasts
and Holy Convocations of Yehovah
Question: Why are we here today?
Answer: Concerning the
feasts of Yehovah, we were told to proclaim them to be holy
convocations, no work nor buying or selling is to be done.
Lev. 23 [2] Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, concerning the feasts of Yehovah, which ye shall proclaim to be holy convocations, even these are my feasts.
[3] Six days shall work be
done: but the seventh day is the sabbath of rest, an holy convocation; ye shall do no
work therein: it is the sabbath of the Yehovah in all
your dwellings.
[4] These are the feasts of the Yehovah, even holy convocations,
which ye shall proclaim in their seasons.

Lev. 23
[15] And ye shall count
unto you from the morrow after the sabbath, from the
day that ye brought the sheaf of the wave offering; seven
sabbaths shall be complete:
[16] Even unto the morrow after the seventh sabbath
shall ye number fifty days; and ye shall offer
a new meat offering unto Yehovah.
[21] And ye shall proclaim on the selfsame day, that it may be an holy convocation unto you: ye shall do no servile work
therein: it shall be a statute for ever in all your
dwellings throughout your generations.

The feast of weeksחַג הַשָּׁבֻעוֹת (always on
Sunday or the first day)
--------------------------------------
[1] And when the day of
Pentecost (The feast of weeks) was fully come, they were all with one accord in one
place.
[2] And suddenly there came a sound from heaven as of a rushing mighty
wind, and it filled all the house where they were
sitting.
[3] And there appeared unto them cloven tongues like as of fire, and it
sat upon each of them.
[4] And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and began to speak
with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance.
[5] And there were dwelling at Jerusalem Jews, devout men, out of every
nation under heaven.
[6] Now when this was noised abroad, the multitude came together, and
were confounded, because that every man heard them speak in his own language.
[7] And they were all amazed and marvelled,
saying one to another, Behold, are not all these which speak Galilaeans?
[8] And how hear we every man in our own tongue, wherein we were born?
[9] Parthians, and Medes, and Elamites, and the dwellers in Mesopotamia, and in Judaea,
and Cappadocia, in Pontus, and Asia,
[10] Phrygia, and Pamphylia, in Egypt, and in
the parts of Libya about Cyrene, and strangers of Rome, Jews and proselytes,
[11] Cretes and Arabians, we do hear them
speak in our tongues the wonderful works of God.
[12] And they were all amazed, and were in doubt, saying one to another,
What meaneth this?
[13] Others mocking said, These men are full of
new wine.
[14] But Peter, standing up with the eleven, lifted up his voice, and
said unto them, Ye men of Judaea, and all ye that dwell at Jerusalem, be this
known unto you, and hearken to my words:
[15] For these are not drunken, as ye suppose, seeing it is but the
third hour of the day.
[16] But this is that which was
spoken by the prophet Joel;
[17] And it shall come to pass in the last days,
saith God,I will pour out of my Spirit upon all
flesh: and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, and your young men
shall see visions, and your old men shall dream dreams:
[18] And on my servants and on my handmaidens I will pour out in those days of
my Spirit; and they shall prophesy:
[19] And I will shew wonders in heaven above, and
signs in the earth beneath; blood, and fire, and vapour
of smoke:
[20] The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before
that great and notable day of Yehovah come:
[21] And it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall call on the name of Yehovah
shall be saved.
Joel 2 [28] And it
shall come to pass afterward, that I will pour out my spirit upon all flesh;
and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, your old men shall dream
dreams, your young men shall see visions:
[29] And also upon the servants and upon the handmaids in those days will I
pour out my spirit.
[30] And I will shew wonders in the heavens and in
the earth, blood, and fire, and pillars of smoke.
[31] The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before the
great and the terrible day of Yehovah come.
[32] And it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall call on the name of Yehovah
shall be delivered: for in mount Zion and in Jerusalem shall be deliverance, as
Yehovah hath said, and in the remnant whom Yehovah shall call.
Back to Acts 2
[22] Ye men of Israel, hear these words; Jesus of
Nazareth, a man approved of God among you by miracles and wonders and signs,
which God did by him in the midst of you, as ye yourselves also know:
[23] Him, being delivered by the determinate counsel and foreknowledge
of God, ye have taken, and by wicked hands have crucified and slain:
[24] Whom God hath raised up, having loosed the pains of death: because
it was not possible that he should be holden of it.
[25] For David speaketh concerning him, I foresaw Yehovah always before
my face, for he is on my right hand, that I should not be moved:
[26] Therefore did my heart rejoice, and my tongue was glad; moreover
also my flesh shall rest in hope:
[27] Because thou wilt not leave my soul in hell, neither wilt thou
suffer thine Holy One to see corruption.
[28] Thou hast made known to me the ways of life; thou shalt make me
full of joy with thy countenance.
[29] Men and brethren, let me freely speak unto you of the patriarch David, that he is both dead and buried, and his sepulchre is with us unto this day.
[30] Therefore being a prophet, and knowing that God had sworn with an
oath to him, that of the fruit of his loins, according to the flesh, he would
raise up Christ to sit on his throne;
[31] He seeing this before spake of the resurrection of Christ, that his
soul was not left in hell, neither his flesh did see corruption.
[32] This Jesus hath God raised up, whereof we
all are witnesses.
[33] Therefore being by the right hand of God exalted, and having
received of the Father the promise of the Holy Ghost, he hath shed forth this,
which ye now see and hear.
[34] For David is not ascended into the heavens: but he saith himself, Yehovah
said unto my Lord, Sit thou on my right hand,
[35] Until I make thy foes thy footstool.
[36] Therefore let all the house of Israel know assuredly, that God hath
made that same Jesus, whom ye have crucified, both Lord and Christ.
[37] Now when they heard this, they were pricked in their heart, and
said unto Peter and to the rest of the apostles, Men and brethren, what shall
we do?
[38] Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you
in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the
gift of the Holy Ghost.
[39] For the promise is unto you, and to your children, and to all that
are afar off, even as many as Yehovah our God shall call.
[40] And with many other words did he testify and exhort, saying, Save yourselves from this untoward generation.
[41] Then they that gladly received his word were baptized: and the same
day there were added unto them about three thousand souls.
[42] And they continued stedfastly in the
apostles' doctrine and fellowship, and in breaking of bread, and in prayers.
[43] And fear came upon every soul: and many wonders and signs were done
by the apostles.
[44] And all that believed were together, and had all things common;
[45] And sold their possessions and goods, and parted them to all men,
as every man had need.
[46] And they, continuing daily with one accord in the temple, and
breaking bread from house to house, did eat their meat with gladness and
singleness of heart,
[47] Praising God, and having favour with all
the people. And Yehovah added to the church daily such as should be saved.
-------------------
[1] There was a certain man in Caesarea called Cornelius,
a centurion of the band called the Italian band,
[2] A devout man, and one that feared God with all his house, which gave
much alms to the people, and prayed to God alway.
[3] He saw in a vision evidently about the ninth hour of the day an
angel of God coming in to him, and saying unto him, Cornelius.
[4] And when he looked on him, he was afraid, and said, What is it, Lord? And he said unto him, Thy prayers and
thine alms are come up for a memorial before God.
[5] And now send men to Joppa, and call for one Simon, whose surname is
Peter:
[6] He lodgeth with one Simon a tanner, whose
house is by the sea side: he shall tell thee what thou oughtest
to do.
[7] And when the angel which spake unto Cornelius was departed, he
called two of his household servants, and a devout soldier of them that waited
on him continually;
[8] And when he had declared all these things unto them, he sent them to
Joppa.
[9] On the morrow, as they went on their journey, and drew nigh unto the
city, Peter went up upon the housetop to pray about the sixth hour:
[10] And he became very hungry, and would have eaten: but while they
made ready, he fell into a trance,
[11] And saw heaven opened, and a certain vessel descending unto him, as
it had been a great sheet knit at the four corners, and let down to the earth:
[12] Wherein were all manner of fourfooted
beasts of the earth, and wild beasts, and creeping things, and fowls of the
air.
[13] And there came a voice to him, Rise, Peter; kill, and eat.
[14] But Peter said, Not so, Lord; for I have
never eaten any thing that is common or unclean.
[15] And the voice spake unto him again the second time, What God hath cleansed, that call not thou common.
[16] This was done thrice: and the vessel was received up again into
heaven.
[17] Now while Peter doubted in himself what this vision which he had
seen should mean, behold, the men which were sent from Cornelius had made
inquiry for Simon's house, and stood before the gate,
[18] And called, and asked whether Simon, which was surnamed Peter, were
lodged there.
[19] While Peter thought on the vision, the Spirit said unto him,
Behold, three men seek thee.
[20] Arise therefore, and get thee down, and go with them, doubting
nothing: for I have sent them.
[21] Then Peter went down to the men which were
sent unto him from Cornelius; and said, Behold, I am he whom ye seek: what is
the cause wherefore ye are come?
[22] And they said, Cornelius the centurion, a just man, and one that feareth God, and of good report among all the nation of the
Jews, was warned from God by an holy angel to send for
thee into his house, and to hear words of thee.
[23] Then called he them in, and lodged them. And on the morrow Peter
went away with them, and certain brethren from Joppa accompanied him.
[24] And the morrow after they entered into Caesarea. And Cornelius
waited for them, and had called together his kinsmen and near friends.
[25] And as Peter was coming in, Cornelius met him, and fell down at his
feet, and worshipped him.
[26] But Peter took him up, saying, Stand up; I myself also am a man.
[27] And as he talked with him, he went in, and found many that were
come together.
[28] And he said unto them, Ye know how that it
is an unlawful thing for a man that is a Jew to keep company, or come unto one
of another nation; but God hath shewed me that I
should not call any man common or unclean.
[29] Therefore came I unto you without
gainsaying, as soon as I was sent for: I ask therefore for what intent ye have
sent for me?
[30] And Cornelius said, Four days ago I was fasting until this hour;
and at the ninth hour I prayed in my house, and, behold, a man stood before me
in bright clothing,
[31] And said, Cornelius, thy prayer is heard, and thine alms are had in
remembrance in the sight of God.
[32] Send therefore to Joppa, and call hither Simon, whose surname is
Peter; he is lodged in the house of one Simon a tanner by the sea side: who,
when he cometh, shall speak unto thee.
[33] Immediately therefore I sent to thee; and thou hast well done that
thou art come. Now therefore are we all here present before God, to hear all
things that are commanded thee of God.
[34] Then Peter opened his mouth, and said, Of a truth I perceive that
God is no respecter of persons:
[35] But in every nation he that feareth him,
and worketh righteousness, is accepted with him.
[36] The word which God sent unto the children of Israel, preaching
peace by Jesus Christ: (he is Lord of all:)
[37] That word, I say, ye know, which was published throughout all
Judaea, and began from Galilee, after the baptism which John preached;
[38] How God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Ghost and with
power: who went about doing good, and healing all that were oppressed of the
devil; for God was with him.
[39] And we are witnesses of all things which he did both in the land of
the Jews, and in Jerusalem; whom they slew and hanged on a tree:
[40] Him God raised up the third day, and shewed
him openly;
[41] Not to all the people, but unto witnesses chosen before of God,
even to us, who did eat and drink with him after he rose from the dead.
[42] And he commanded us to preach unto the people, and to testify that
it is he which was ordained of God to be the Judge of quick and dead.
[43] To him give all the prophets witness, that
through his name whosoever believeth in him shall receive remission of sins.
[44] While Peter yet spake these
words, the Holy Ghost fell on all them which heard the word.
[45] And they of the circumcision which believed were astonished, as many as
came with Peter, because that on the Gentiles also was poured out the gift of
the Holy Ghost.
[46] For they heard them speak with tongues, and magnify God. Then answered
Peter,
[47] Can any man forbid water, that these should not be baptized, which have
received the Holy Ghost as well as we?
[48] And he commanded them to be baptized in the name of Yehovah. Then prayed they him to tarry certain days.
