Holidays Not Biblically Commanded

Purim and Hanukah are NOT commanded Feasts of Yehovah. We choose to celebrate them for several reasons but do not teach you must observe them.

We know from Scripture that Yeshua attended the Feast of Hanukah so if it was good enough for Him it is good enough for us. Hanukah is also a great celebration of Yehovah’s mighty hand delivering his people from Greek sun god worship and we choose to celebrate this great event in Israel’s history.

Purim is celebrating another great day in Israel’s history which is recorded in the Bible in the book of Esther. We choose to celebrate this great Biblical event and enjoy a day rejoicing in Yehovah and praying for our brothers and sisters in Israel and around the globe.

We believe that there will be future significance in these dates in prophecy.

There is nothing wrong with celebrating Holidays that were not given by Yehovah as long as we don’t teach it as Law and it is not pagan in origin.

We schedule our observance of the Mo'dim on what we understand as the most accurate historical data. However, we know we can not be 100% certain. We honor others who have different opinions and refrain from arguing over the calendar. We hope all will will share in the same heart and attitude of love.

For more information on this or any Biblical calendar we will answer questions in person on two conditions.

1. You are asking out of genuineness of heart and not from an argumentative spirit.

2. You are regular attender at House of Scripture or contemplating attending on a regular basis.
