... SHEMOTH (EXODUS) 6:6-7
3 Pilgrimages:
Hag HaKatzir ... Feast of Unleaven Bread
Hag HaShavuot ... Feast of Weeks
Hag HaSukkot ... Feast of Tabernacles
Hag means Pilgrimage
Contrary Beliefs/Errors:
Used to support Sunday as Sabbath ... a futile effort:
*Acts 20 vs 6 - 7 ... Breaking of bread on 1st day of the week reference is used by the catholic church as the evidence for Sunday being the new Sabbath. Even though the Feast of Unleaven Bread is mentioned prior. See Leviticus 23 vs 4 - 6 & 15 - 16
But
*Acts 20 vs 7 ... Mia ton Sabbaton means 'one of the Sabbaths' not 1st day of the week
---> Acts 2 vs 46 ... Breaking bread was a daily event » weak support
Acts 13 vs 42 - 44 ... Sabbath
Acts 17 vs 2 ... Sabbath
Acts 18 vs 4, 11 ...Sabbath
The Disciples kept the Sabbath 85 times in the Book of Acts***
... this is completely separate from YAHAWAHSHAH & Paul
*1 Corinthians 16 vs 1 - 2 ... No collection on Sabbath not Sunday service collection
*John 20 vs 19 ... Resurrection day (1st day of the week evening)
Matthew 24 vs 20 ... Sabbath
Luke 23 vs 56 ... Sabbath
*Revelation 1 vs 10 ...
Isaiah 58 vs 13 ... YAHAWAH's Day or Day of YAHAWAH
Day of YAHAWAH: References ***
But
John 14 vs 15 ... If you love me, obey my Commandments
1 John 2 vs 6 ... If you profess to be in MASHIACH, let it show in your daily life
Galatians 4 vs 8 - 10 ... You are not saved by following the law so don't go back to pagan observances of pagan days, months, seasons and years.
Colossians 2 vs 16 ... Let no one judge you for keeping the Sabbath
Colossians 2 vs 17 ... shadow of the fall feasts yet to come
Colossians 2 vs 8 ... Don't be swayed by philosophies and traditions of men (gnostics)
Colossians 2 vs 20 - 22 ... Traditions of men and ordinances
The 4th Commandment:
Shabbat (שבת)/Sabbath = The 7th day of rest ... a day set aside/sanctified by YAHAWAH
... Shabbat is derived from the root words of shin + bet (שב) which means 'return' and from the tav (ת) which refers to the Covenant ... so Shabbat is a call for us to return to YAHAWAH and His Covenant of rest
Guard the day of the Shabbath; to sanctify it as YAHAWAH ELOHAYKA has commanded you. Six days you shall labour, and do all your work: But the seventh day is the Shabbath of YAHAWAH ELOHAYKA: in it you shall not do any work, you, nor your son, nor your daughter, nor your manservant, nor your maidservant, nor your ox, nor your ass, nor any of your cattle, nor your stranger that is within your gates; that your manservant and your maidservant may rest as well as you. And remember that you were a servant in the land of Mitsrayim, and that YAHAWAH ELOHAYKA brought you out thence through a mighty hand and by a stretched out arm: therefore YAHAWAH ELOHAYKA commanded you to observe the day of Shabbath.
... DEVARIYM (DEUTERONOMY) 5:12-15
Note:
Keeping the law and Sabbath does not save you ... but once saved ... Then you keep the Law or TORAH ... You keep the Sabbath in obedience to YAHAWAHSHAH's Word
Galatians 5 vs 4 ... The law justifies no man but it severs you from MASHIACH
Keeping the Feasts according to Apostle Paul:
Acts 18 vs 21 ... But bade them farewell, saying, I must by all means keep this feast that cometh in Jerusalem: but I will return again unto you, if God will. And he sailed from.
1 Corinthians 5 vs 8 ... Therefore let us keep the feast, not with old leaven, neither with the leaven of malice and wickedness; but with the unleavened bread of sincerity and truth.
1 Thessalonians 5 vs 1 - 11... But of the times and the seasons, brethren, ye have no need that I write unto you ... etc
Yom Teruah is also called the day of blowing, the day of the Awakening Blast and the time of Jacob's trouble
... as well as:
Yom HaDin -> The Day of Judgement/Opening of the Books or Gates
Yom HaKeseh -> The Hidden day
Yom HaKiddushin -> The Wedding of the Messiah
Yom Ha'Melek -> The Coronation of the King our Messiah

Count of references to ordinances in the Bible:
19 mentions of ordinance/ordinances in the TORAH (5 Books of Mosheh) and 47 times as a whole in the Old Testament.
The New Testament mentioned ordinance/ordinances 6 times.
The canonized Bible mentions ordinance/ordinances 53 times.
Apocryphal Books mention ordinance/ordinances 41 times.
The Scriptures as a whole (Canonized & Apocryphal) mention ordinance/ordinances 94 times in total.

Shalom
