His appointed times. Every one, Yeshua.

The Appointed Times Belong to YHWH

Not Yehudi holidays. His own feasts.

In Ivri they are mo'adei YHWH — "the appointed times of YHWH." They belong to the Father, not the nation entrusted with keeping them. Sha'ul said exactly this: every moed is "a shadow of the things to come; but the body is Mashiach's" Kolosim 2:17 The feast is the shadow. Yeshua is the substance.

Plus Weekly and Monthly

Shabbat every seven days. Rosh Chodesh every new moon.

Shabbat is the first moed listed in Vayikra 23 (verse 3), before any of the seven annual feasts — weekly, from Friday sundown to Saturday sundown, unmoved since the sixth evening of creation. See Shabbat for the full teaching.

Rosh Chodesh — the new moon that begins each Ivri month — was marked with its own offering in Torah Bamidbar 28:11–15. YHWH's calendar is luni-solar because He said so in Bereshit 1:14: "Let there be lights in the expanse of sky to divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs, and for seasons, and for days and years." The Ivri word for "seasons" there is moadim — His appointed times. The moon is the clock He hung in the sky on day four to keep them by.

Not Here: Hanukkah, Purim, Tisha B'Av, Modern Holidays

Only what YHWH commanded.

This site keeps only the moedim the Father Himself named. Hanukkah, Purim, Tisha B'Av, and the modern state holidays of the twentieth century are not commanded. Yeshua warned the pattern: "You have made the mitzvah of Elohim void because of your tradition" Mattityahu 15:6 What He asked for is enough.

By the same measure, Christmas and Easter — untethered from YHWH's calendar at Nicaea — are not observed here. They are the institutional church's replacements for moedim the Father already gave. Yeshua was likely born at Sukkot. He rose on Firstfruits. Those are the dates His followers keep. The full account is on Pesach.
