4These are the feasts of the LORD, even holy convocations, which ye shall proclaim in their seasons. 5In the fourteenth day of the first month at even is the LORD’s passover. 6And on the fifteenth day of the same month is the feast of unleavened bread unto the LORD: seven…
Last night, I watched Cecil B DeMille’s The Ten Commandments once again. I just love that movie, and I always notice something that somehow bypassed me in prior years. In the movie, Moses learns he is a Hebrew, and he becomes a slave in order to sort out who and…
Today is the First Day of Unleavened Bread according to the Hebrew calendar. It is one of the commanded holy days that God gave Israel in Leviticus 23. Did Christ’s sacrifice do away with this festival? Were Gentile Christians expected to participate in it as well? Well, instead of listening…
Tonight at sundown is the end of the day of Passover and the First Day of Unleavened Bread. It is a holy day ordained by God (Lev 23:6-7). There is a “holy convocation” on the first day. However, some groups will only have one service during the day tomorrow. Most…

15Seven days shall ye eat unleavened bread; even the first day ye shall put away leaven out of your houses: for whosoever eateth leavened bread from the first day until the seventh day, that soul shall be cut off from Israel. 16And in the first day there shall be…
Let’s be clear about one thing: I keep the Sabbath and holy days “because” of what it says in Leviticus 23. In a nutshell, I’m not going to argue with trolls about what “because” means. I will out and out say it that if you do not keep the Sabbath…
