Yeshua's blessings
Matt.5:[1
] And seeing the multitudes, he went up into a mountain:
and when he was set, his disciples came unto him:
[2] And he opened his mouth,
and taught them, saying,
Matt.13[
16] But
blessed are your eyes, for they see: and your
ears, for they hear.[17
] For verily I say unto you, That many prophets and righteous
men have desired to see those things which ye see, and have not seen them;
and to hear those things which ye hear, and have not heard them.

blessed is he that keepeth
the sayings of the prophecy of this book.

Blessed are they that do his commandments

Deut.16
[13
] Thou shalt observe the feast of tabernacles
seven days, after that thou hast gathered in thy corn
and thy wine:[14] And
thou shalt rejoice in thy feast
, thou, and thy son, and thy daughter, and thy manservant, and
thy maidservant, and the Levite, the stranger, and the fatherless, and the
widow, that are within thy gates.[15
] Seven days shalt thou keep a solemn feast unto the LORD thy
God in the place which the LORD shall choose: because the LORD thy God shall
bless thee in all thine increase, and in all the works of thine hands, therefore
thou shalt surely rejoice.[
16] Three times in a year shall
all thy males appear before the LORD thy God in the place which he shall choose;
in the feast of unleavened bread, and in the feast of weeks, and in the feast
of tabernacles: and they shall not appear before the LORD empty:[
17] Every man shall give as he is able,
according to the blessing of the LORD thy God which he hath given thee.
Neh.8[14]
And they found written in the law which the LORD had commanded by Moses, that
the children of Israel should dwell in booths in the
feast of the seventh month: [15] And that they should
publish and proclaim in all their cities, and in Jerusalem, saying, Go forth
unto the mount, and fetch olive branches, and pine branches, and myrtle branches,
and palm branches, and branches of thick trees, to make booths, as it is written.
[16] So the people went forth, and brought them, and made themselves booths,
every one upon the roof of his house, and in their courts, and in the courts
of the house of God, and in the street of the water gate, and in the street
of the gate of Ephraim. [17] And all the congregation of them that were come
again out of the captivity made booths, and sat under the booths: for since
the days of Jeshua the son of Nun unto that day had not the children of Israel
done so.
And there was very great gladness.

The Lord's Feasts vs. pagan
holidays
Eph.4
[27] Neither give place to the devil.
Rom.3[
8] And not rather, (as we be
slanderously reported, and as some affirm that we say,)
Let us do evil, that good may come?
whose damnation is just.
I do understand it is difficult sometimes
to depart from these pagan made-up feasts we were indoctrinated into since
childhood. I myself had to pray and study to understand. Please take it slow,
pray and search the scriptures, all the answers are there.
