Feastkeeping

This is an error of the last days. It is an insult to Heaven to return to the ceremonies and symbols which the great anti-type has done away.

The Jewish system was symbolical, and was to continue until the perfect Offering should take the place of the figurative. .... The extent of the terrible consequences of sin could never have been known, had not the remedy provided been of infinite value. The salvation of fallen man was procured at such an immense cost that angels marveled, and could not fully comprehend the divine mystery that the Majesty of Heaven, equal with God, should die for the rebellious race. [2SP] p. 11, Para. 1.

At the crucifixion, as JESUS died on Calvary, he cried, It is finished, and the vail of the temple was rent in twain, from the top to the bottom. This was to show that the services of the earthly Sanctuary were forever finished, and that GOD would no more meet with them in their earthly temple, to accept their sacrifices. [GC58] p. 161, Para. 1.

Some are constantly trying to separate the sacrifices from the feasts for the purpose of preaching the “keeping” of the feast days. Why? Because only at Jerusalem at a special spot, in the providence of God controlled by non-Jews, is the place a sacrifice can be made. Even the Jews await the day that spot will be given into their control.

Therefore, something must be done to get past the difficulty. So they just try to separate the sacrifices from the feasts to facilitate a Satanic delusion.
