So, why do we keep the Holy Days? - YouTube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IYz3fthqRfU Transcript: (00:01) how many know Satan is a liar and the father of lies all right anything that Satan tells you is false God wants you to know truth so the First Gospel that God ever gave us how many knows that Bible you hold in your hand has not been around forever what happened before the printing press how did people know the gospel all right but God devised a way to remind his people of the opposite of what Satan was telling them here's what Satan says Satan says God has lost control he tells the world that God no longer cares about what happens on the (00:56) earth here's what Lucifer says the whole world has run among right come on you see the chaos and you see acts of God God don't care about men God don't care about his creation that's this is what Satan tells us every day God wanted you to know the truth the truth is total opposite of that but we are very stubborn people we are very uh what's the word I'm looking for uh uh a shortsighted we we lose sight we know truth today forget it tomorrow for example last night when you and your wife were having an intimate (01:37) night and you knew you loved each other right nothing could change your mind the next day you telling each other you don't love me because why we forget the truth by our circumstances God knew that would happened to you and to me so the first thing God ever did to put the gospel in the world was he wrote it in the sky the Bible says that the stars of the sky preach the gospel don't ask me to go there tonight I don't have time but it's in the Bible talks about masero and we speak about how the stars from night to (02:17) day utter their speech and every nation hears what they have to say so in all of the history of the world every Civilization now watch this what is God number of divine government 12 how many houses are in the Zodiac 12 now oh Lord some of y'all so religious I said the word zodiac and you act like you was having a her God created the Zodiac before Satan perverted it that's you think God created something bad in the sky no Lucifer perverts everything God creates I can show you in the scripture where it says who can tell us what (03:07) massero the Zodiac tells us because in the beginning God created the Stars the Moon and the Sun for signs for Seasons to give us messages before we had Bibles now every night in every civilization of the world you can dig as far back as you want to go back you can go thousand you'll find the same zodiac in every culture the Chinese all the way back to the Bison times all the way back you go you find the same zodiac now I'm not going to go through it tonight I do have a lesson called masero you need to listen to it but I'm going to briefly (03:48) tell you that that zodiac begins with a message Virgo a virgin what's in that virgin's hand seed The Barley a virgin shall conceive and what's in her hand is the seed God begins preaching the gospel in the stars now why because he wants to remind you of Truth now I won't go through the whole Maser off tonight but after that you have Libra which is the scale you've been weighed in the balance and your sins have outweighed your goodness and the the scales are unbalanced Scorpio when the you can go and I don't have time (04:49) tonight but we end up I can preach the gospel from the stars I don't need a Bible I can preaching from the stars the Bible clarifies what God Said in the beginning now I'm getting to the holy days bear with me what's the last part of this house is Leo the Lion all right what started as a seed comes back as a lion the gospel is being preached without your help God preaches his own Gospel now if God had a message that he wanted to tell about this seed and Jesus and the forgiveness of sin which is next Libra you're you're in the (05:36) balance you need help because your sins are outweighing your goodness you need help if you want to wind up with an overcoming conquering King the lion is the king of the jungle if you want this message preach to the world then you've got to do what the only thing men know how to relate to celebrations parties on festivals Feast for example I would never think about Christopher Columbus but this coming Monday There's A Feast there's a holiday there is a time set aside to remind me of the truth of America well probably Ain the truth but (06:33) that's what they teach you now to remind us of Truth Now for example how many of you in this room love our veterans all right now I got another question for you how many of you think about our veterans every day well I don't I don't think about them every day I don't focus on them every day I don't I don't pay attention to them every day I don't give them honor every day but every year there's a day we set aside to be reminded of that message of what they did for us why because humans forget the purpose of the feast God said (07:19) in the Old Testament the purpose of the feast in The Book of Leviticus was so that you might remember all that I have done for you now you think Lucifer want you to remember what God has done no so therefore he created his holidays God's true church you better listen to this God's true church is separated from the world not just in your dress but in what custom as you participate God's got a true church and everybody ain't in it see there's worshippers and then there's true worshipers now so God devised a plan for (08:19) you to never forget the truth now what do you and I need always somebody say repetition same thing what does repetition do it reminds you it keeps you focused why do we go to school every day to keep us focused so why do we keep the feast every year to keep us focused why do we keep the Sabbath every week to keep us focused now I ask all of you if you go to somebody and tell them you keeping the Sabbath do you know what somebody will tell you in the church here's what they'll say oh every day is a Sabbath to (09:05) me oh I love Jesus every like I said I love the veterans every day too but I'm not focused on them every day that's right sure you love Jesus I love him every day too but when I'm out there selling cars or selling my health plans or selling or I I'll be honest with you I love the Lord but at that point I'm hustling [Applause] thank I got a this woman right here is high maintenance now so I love do I not love the Lord when I'm making the deal absolutely but I promise you I'm not sitting there speaking in tongues while (09:50) I'm doing it why whenever my wife was nursing and you're lifting those pain you love the Lord but are you thinking you you your mind there's no room there for that so the Lord said on the Sabbath day refocus stop come together into holy convocation and rest and remember the works of the Lord that's why we keep it we don't keep it to be saved we keep it because we are saved now so God said oh yeah go right ahead when appears I don't think of her as a student go ahead I I just wanted to add to that just to back up brother Shane and um as (10:38) he talks about nazaro a lot of people especially studiers like to know where the root is in the word good for you and because he has a whole teaching you go into details I'm not going to go in that but I want to give it for you all so that you can take the scripture and go home and study it yourself because that's what I do and then I also wanted to tell you something and this is the only reason why that came brought me up here but the scripture is that has the word mazero in it is actually job 3832 can you bring out mazero in this in (11:12) its season and so I'll just read that so that's what you know the words in there but when you look it up in strongs that's what I was going to good I got you good when you look it up in strongs mazero the root word which is nazarah which there's no more other root words so it doesn't back up into any other root word from that so the initial root word comes from strongs number h51 144 so if you want to look that up and it's root of that word in translation of it is to dedicate consecrate separate right and so I just wanted to let you know (11:52) when you look it up on www blueletterbible.org which was a great tool that's what it represents that's right the word Nazar which is also to consecrate that's where you get naite from also says Nazarite it does say that was the first thing that caught my eye but it does say to be a Nazarite live as a Nazarite now does it also read the rest of that verse does it talk about oron in that verse the ples ples oron does it you see that it's yes at the beginning it does say said in verse 31 can you bind the cluster of the plates okay anybody know (12:34) what plates is that's a constellation of stars and it and it has a number it says or the Seven Stars yeah or loose the belt of Orion what is or or a constellation of stor stars and then it leads into verse 32 can you bring out maero can you bring out mazero is another word for the Zodiac read say can you guide The Great Bear with its Cubs see God what he's saying there I use nature to speak to my people thank you sister that's beautiful stay close by keep helping now so what does that have to do with holy days here we go (13:16) God's got a message of what the blood the seed the Virgin salvation all right he wants to give us a message of Salvation then he wants us to know that we need more than salvation we need sanctification which is another word for Holiness I know men have messed that word up but it's still in the Bible then after sanctification he says we need the infilling of the Holy Ghost God's got a message of Truth to tell us then he wants us to know the rest of the message that the second coming Jesus is coming then he wants us to know the rest (14:08) of the truth which is that Lucifer shall be bound and that things will be put back in order there's more of the message he wants you to know and that is that the Millennium reain will be set up on the earth ain't nobody here going to heaven not a one of you Heaven's coming to Earth get Heaven and Hell out of your mind and get government get bride get 144,000 in your mind and recognize your salvation is not about it's it's about ruling and reigning and preparing for the government of Christ upon the Earth so the rest of the Gospel is the (14:47) Millennium Reign and I don't have running out of space the Millennium Reign but there's one more part of the Gospel he wants you see the problem is the church is preaching the gospel but they're not preaching preaching the true gospel here's what the church preaches to you today this part of the Gospel that the rest of it is never preached I'll say it again the church has preaching salvation come get saved like it's like you could if anyway that's the gospel the modern Church preaches salvation sanctification nobody preaches it very (15:33) few churches do Holy Ghost baptism second coming now some of them get about this far but what about this rest of the Gospel when the aasil goat is arrested yeah yeah what about when the When Heaven comes to the Earth and every one of us begin ruling and reigning over the Earth and uh now I got a question that's going to blow all of your college students mind here it is how many grieve we're going to all be ruling and [Music] reigning huh now now listen to this question if you believe you going to be ruling and reigning now that here's the real (16:19) question who you going to be ruling and reigning over can't answer it can you because you don't know the rest of the Gospel it's called the last great day which is the seventh feast or the seventh part of the message called the last great day now this is the whole gospel well Glory that's the broke gospel now well Glory put me back up here brother the devil is a liar ain't he ain't he a liar come on I'll go right on the wall and give Mama a heart ATT there we go now so that's the whole gospel now how go ahead sister uh when Lucifer is (17:11) bound that's good thank you brother we'll make do we pour well we not poor I I ref that amen we not poor we got all we need darl amen we're blessed abundantly blessed all right so here's the whole gospel God wants to remind you every year of the Gospel he never told you to remember his birth he said remember his death but Satan wants you to remember his birth because Satan ain't scared of his birth that's right that's it that's it the birth of Jesus don't scare Luc don't scare Lucifer it's the second coming of Jesus (17:59) that's there's the vetus out of he never told us one time to celebrate anything the modern Church celebrates never no C did he ever say celebrate rabbits laying eggs y'all know rabbits lay eggs don't you you don't believe it go to your church you'll find out they lay eggs so it's got a celebrating now listen now listen carefully he's got a celebrating all of this oh and we're going to get a float in the marra parade too we're going to go out there and worship oron and uh bakas and uh all of the have you ever heard did you ever (18:46) have you ever seen when you were raising your hands up to the crew of bakas do you know who bakas is he's a god of SE he's a God he is a God that you are raising your hands to and all of God's people all of yahweh's people are out there oh you're part of the crew of of of what Olympus okay guess what a God and God's people are out there like fools raising their hands to FAL God and while they're doing that mocking us Jesus for keeping what God commanded us to keep forever amen amen because we're remembering the (19:52) gospel amen now next week all the little Christian m and daddies will have their children dressed up on the highest Satanic day of the year going house to house and mocking me for keeping Passover shame on you call yourself separated from the world you will not make the government of God because you have not come out of her the Bible said come out of her you know what God Said don't learn her Customs don't don't learn the way of the Heathen come out I will teach you my way I'll teach you what I like I'll tell you (20:37) what to doen brother Von we're going to have a fall festival well I don't see any of the pagans having a Passover Festival right now that's right you want to be so much like the world and then have one foot in God's kingdom and his church and be like the world now my point I'm trying to make is this listen to me carefully truth will make you mad before it gets you right come on now come on now so God says I'm going to teach them every year my gospel how am I going to do it I'm going to create my calendar all right (21:23) God said he created the moon for what reason come on students I taught you why God created the moon say it keep going he I created them for say it again signs that Greek that Hebrew word for signs is what moed is for season orra orra is for signs means markers and signals God created the moon to be a signal o t h r a i like a woman that's writing those orra I created the moon to be a marker and a signal all right that's why you don't hey some of y'all I act like some of y'all's been in my classes let's back up go to (22:19) Genesis let's go to Genesis let's get in the book I'm just trying to teach you on this one question Genesis 1 all right go to verse 14 Deon get your strongs ready on verse 14 all right let's break it down I'm not here to impress you I don't care if you speak in tongues jump up and down run around the aisles that don't impress me I want I got we got people praying through getting an emotional experience you don't never see them again because you're not giving them the word amen this is more than an emotional Spirit you better get founded in (23:02) truth because them emotions leave the minute they stop that music I'll say it again on the minute you fall out in the spirit when you get back up you back in the flesh all right verse 14 God said concerning the moon let there be lights in the firmament of the heaven to divide the day from the night let them be for signs what is that in Hebrew so let change that English word let them be for signals or markers okay and for Seasons that's a horrible mistranslation it should not be Seasons we think fall winter spring when we (23:48) think of Seasons but that's not that word's very bad there Dion would would you read for us that Hebrew meaning of the word seasons in Genesis 1 or somebody you got minister seasons for okay give us the Hebrew word first okayed Place time did somebody say appointed time keep reading that's it s did you hear the word sacred set Feast that's what I was getting to God created the moon so you'd know when the sacred Feast were that's why they're called New Moon Feast any questions so far why did God create the moon all right let me ask you (24:42) students uh sister Nicole why did God create the mo yes yes but what are those signals telling us about sacred feast now did you ever know that's why God made the moon no we thought he made them for fall winter and sweet that's not the season these they talking about sacred Feast which are holy days now so why did God create the moon to tell us he was going to have somebody say Divine appointments Divine appointment change that word holy days to Divine appointment the word moed moed means divine appointments God loved his church so (25:33) much he wanted regular dates with her and he wanted to make sure you was never late for one of them he put a marker in the sky to tell you when they were amen now Minister go does God does Yahweh does he ever change I don't I don't know if anybody believes that does he ever change your preacher says he does because your preacher says what he wants love he no longer cares about your preacher said that these no longer matter to God even though he created the whole Moon just because of it right now you want one better than (26:26) that okay here we are we've got the holy days in the Old Testament now let's go over to Isaiah thank you for this question baby I think I know you didn't think the answer would be this long but you see you know why I know some of y'all ain't getting it because you ain't here on the holy days you're not here on the sabbaths you're out there at your college football games and you're putting everything ahead of holy days [Music] it breaks my heart actually every holy day when I see those that just it means nothing oh they ain't no Isaiah Isaiah (27:10) 66 all right let's go to verse now first of all this whole chapter is about the Millennium Reign now let's go to verse 23 and let's see what we're going to be doing in y'all's Heaven if you will read isah what Isaiah 6623 and Lord okay so I let me just get this straight cuz I may be wrong in the Old Testament God loved the new moons he loved the Sabbath and there's another verse after that you need to go ahead and read while we're at and they shall go for and look upon the carcasses of the men that have transgressed against me for (28:05) their worms shall not neither their quenched andto allh okay look up uh the word Tabernacles for me in the Old Testament real quick all right now question for you in the Old Testament God loved the new moons we've got biblical proof y'all believe the Bible or you believe your church church now I don't believe some of you do or you wouldn't be still doing what the church said do go to your Church's haunted house while you make fun of the holy days now we know that God loved it in the Old Testament now did we just read (28:52) in the Bible that in heaven if you will that from one new moon to another from one Sabbath to another that we would still be coming to worship Him throughout eternity and see you believe that mess we've all been taught that we're going to be at the Throne of God anytime we won't know there's going to be a set time in eternity when we're allowed to come and [Music] worship so my question now Minister go just confessed to me that God never changes so I got to know when he quit caring about these new moon festivals if (29:40) he did in the old and he's going to do it in heaven or the New Jerusalem but now he could care less you got a problem you got a messed up God you got a mixed up theology did he just all of a sudden quit caring about it no so so why have you quit carrying because Revelations 12:9 said Satan has deceived the whole world he don't want you keeping these he wants you going to church on the Pope's day and he wants you go he don't mind you going to church as long as you don't do it God's way all right now Sister Deon go (30:19) ahead Bible um I wanted to elaborate on LED because that is not the full route when you back up into the rout where get the word yeah M when the internet catches up with me it's the word Yad y a a d okay when you read that it's also the word that would mean to fix a point assemble meet betr wow betr that's that's the bride and I thought that was very very powerful did you hear that to meet the bride's me meeting the church is meeting with God we're reading it as Seasons but really the root of it is to meet and be betr (31:07) question very good sister Dion question Donald Trump calls you and says I want to meet with you next Friday at 3:00 but you say well okay Thursday at 3:00 but you say you know what Donald I love you but I'm GNA come Friday that's not when you're you don't have the right to set your own appointment with Don truth he sets his appointment with you and you all we all for years been trying to set our own appointment with God on our terms God said I set the dates when I want my church to assemble amen when I want them there to show their obedience (31:46) to my word so to preach this gospel all right now let's get done because we got more questions to preach this Gospel of Salvation he said every year in the lightest part of the year how many know the church and the world celebrates their holidays in the darkest part of the year right now it's getting dark right this is when all the Christian celebrations and all the Pagan celebrations begin none of God's celebrations take place when that Sun starts setting real low they start in March God's New Year starts in March I (32:21) don't celebrate man's New Year and the dead of winter our house we cook our peas and our cabbage when God said the new year begins the first sighting of barley in the spring who starts a new year when everything's dead men do God starts the new year in March amen that's when my wife and I celebrate New Years when God said it was now God said all right for you to remember salvation I'm going to create a party if you will called pasel now what do we remember at pass over we remember Virgo we remember the Virgin the seed (33:05) the Spotless child we remember the sacrifice that Jesus came to save us from our sins now we remember it every year that's the time of the year when we do uh the Passover meal which is the blood at this church you should have been here last year we had read blood everywhere it was the most be it was we had people foot washing come I don't call it communion that's a cathol work they changed the name Passover to communion we call it the Passover meal so I prove to you Jesus said as never mind I don't have time for everything (33:37) tonight all right so we celebrate the Passover every year all right the next day after Passover God says okay now I want you to celebrate the next step of the Gospel sanctification with the Feast of unleavened bread he Saidi want you to go through your houses and look for Le it's a symbol of sin now what's so funny to me Christians say they don't have to keep the symbols yet they drink communion blood what do you think that is baby it's a symbol so why you putting down on symbolism all right he said go through your house my (34:18) wife and I last year we brought all of our living bread out of our home all of our cereal everything that had Le we bundled it up and we brought it here this year we're going to give it all the way to the homeless I'm trying to to figure out what God wants us to do with that now brother Von do I have to do that to be saved that's your problem you're only concerned about salvation instead of pleasing God your selfish you just want to be saved there some folks want to please God GL now I got one better than that did (34:50) you ever find that script about Feast of Tabernacles in the Old Testament I told you look it up all right keep looking but I moved past it I know I left in the dust okay while she looks that up so it is during these seven days our church here we come together and we celebrate the unleavened bread we celebrate sin us leaving Egypt we celebrate getting sin out of our lives that that we we focus on things in our lives that would displease the Lord all week long you think Satan wants us friend you think Satan wants us keeping (35:23) that no he wants us keeping uh uh Easter he wants us keeping the Pope's holidays but no no no God said I want you to think about Sin did you have a sister and and it should be Jeremiah Isaiah Isaiah Jeremiah one of the two huh well no not the one I'm talking about it's a prophecy in the Major Prophets Feast of Tabernacles or come up to celebrate the Feast of Tabernacles it SLI my mind is is while they looking it up after we get through with that seven days then we take a break 50 days later we all come back together again to (36:11) celebrate first fruits that's when the Holy Ghost was poured out and God created the New Testament Church and that's when the law was written in our hearts by the power of the Holy Ghost we come to celebrate the law of God ande first fruit that happens in the spring of the Year all three of these feasts we keep them every year now the church tells you now Pastor uh Pastor what is your last name say it again n naon naton naon okay got you now Pastor naon the church tells you that the reason they don't keep these Feast (36:52) is because they were all fulfilled in Jesus does that sound right what you've heard hav't heard that that Jesus fulfilled all right ladies and gentlemen Jesus fulfilled Passover he fulfilled unleavened bread and he fulfilled first fruits but I challenge any minister in this room to show me where he has fulfilled the next set of feast which is the Feast of trumpets that's where we celebrate the second coming when the Trump of God shall sound tell me when Jesus Jesus fulfilled that after we get through with this (37:34) Pentecost you know y yall know what's funny the church don't believe in keeping the holy days you ever heard of Pentecost Sunday they all keep it that's a holy day that's the Feast of first fruits but they don't believe in keeping the holy days they do keep it they don't believe in keeping Sabbath yes they do they do it on Sundays right right amen now did tell me when Jesus fulfilled the Feast of atonement that's when Lucifer is bound the aasil goat tell me when Jesus fulfilled Tabernacles which is the Millennium (38:16) Reign Tabernacles and then the last Feast that we celebrate we just celebrated it is the last great day it's called the last great day and I ain't fixing to go into what that means cuz you can't handle it there throw me out of this church if I fool with that yeah the last great day of the theast of Feast of Tabernacles atonement trumpets atonement Tabernacles no on the top oh uh uh the uh the millennium rain right the last great day y'all can't read my writing or [Music] something okay I'll find it okay now (39:24) real quick I want to read this to you in Leviticus 3 verse number 21 let's read that someone read it for me Leviticus 23 and 21 Leviticus 23 and [Music] 21 somebody say okay what is a holy convocation a what a gathering okay so on the holy days you're supposed to have a what a gathering this is what we're doing this is a holy day it's the Sabbath of the Lord remind me to explain to you the difference in between a high Sabbath and a regular Sabbath go ahead you shall do no Ser work no servile work what does that mean no income lab that's right (40:28) it shall be a statue forever whoa whoa how long is this statue supposed to last now God told Abraham because you have kept my statutes somebody was keeping the statutes the Bible said we were to keep them until Jesus Came Forever case dismiss going to be keeping them during the Millennium Reign am I'll prove that to you let me show you what we're keeping the holy days in the Millennium Reign the problem is people don't understand the Millennium rain they they think everybody's escaping

Summary

In So, Why Do We Keep the Holy Days?, Pastor Shane Vaughn explains why First Harvest Ministries observes the biblical festivals and the seventh-day Sabbath. He begins by arguing that God established recurring reminders to preserve knowledge of His plan. Vaughn introduces the concept of the gospel being symbolically represented in the heavens through the constellations. A participant identifies Job 38:32 as a passage mentioning Mazzaroth, and the discussion expands to God's use of the heavenly bodies as signs. Vaughn then explains that human beings need repetition to remain focused on spiritual truths. He compares the annual feasts with familiar commemorative holidays and the weekly Sabbath with a recurring appointment for worship. He presents the biblical festivals as a sequence representing the gospel: Passover for salvation, Unleavened Bread for sanctification, Firstfruits and Pentecost for the Holy Spirit, Trumpets for Christ's return, Atonement for the binding of Satan, Tabernacles for the millennial kingdom, and the Last Great Day for the concluding stage of God's plan. He turns to Genesis 1:14 to discuss the Hebrew terminology for appointed times, teaching that the moon and other heavenly lights help identify Yahweh's sacred calendar. Through Isaiah 66:23, he argues that new moons and Sabbaths remain significant in the future. Through Zechariah 14:16, he teaches that the Feast of Tabernacles will be observed during the coming kingdom. Vaughn then appeals to the New Testament. He discusses Paul's intention to keep a feast in Acts 18:21 and reads 1 Corinthians 5:8 as an instruction supporting continued observance. He concludes the available teaching by calling for a return to apostolic Christianity and emphasizing that believers should keep Yahweh's appointed times out of love and obedience, not as a means of earning salvation.

Core doctrine

Leviticus 23:21 — Pastor Shane Vaughn teaches that Yahweh established the biblical holy days as sacred appointments through which His people are repeatedly reminded of the gospel, His commandments, and His plan for the restoration of creation. He explains that the annual feasts are not merely historical celebrations but prophetic reminders that reveal successive stages of God's purpose. He associates Passover with the sacrifice of Yeshua and salvation from sin, Unleavened Bread with sanctification and the removal of sin, and Firstfruits and Pentecost with the outpouring of the Holy Spirit and the establishment of the apostolic church. He interprets Trumpets as anticipating the return of the Messiah, Atonement as anticipating the binding of Satan, Tabernacles as representing the millennial reign, and the Last Great Day as pointing toward the completion of God's plan. Through Genesis 1:14, Vaughn teaches that Yahweh established the heavenly lights to identify appointed times and that His calendar should govern the congregation's sacred assemblies. Through Leviticus 23:21, he emphasizes the command to gather for holy convocation and the description of the observance as an enduring statute. Through Isaiah 66:23 and Zechariah 14:16, he argues that appointed worship times will continue in the future kingdom. He also appeals to Acts 18:21 and 1 Corinthians 5:8 to support his teaching that the apostles continued honoring biblical festivals after the Messiah's first coming. Vaughn distinguishes obedience from earning salvation, teaching that believers do not keep the holy days to become saved but because they desire to honor Yahweh. He urges the congregation to reject religious customs that he believes have replaced God's appointments and to prepare for participation in the coming kingdom of Christ on earth. His central doctrine is that observing the holy days preserves the full message of the gospel, strengthens spiritual remembrance, and trains believers in obedience to Yahweh's eternal purpose. The detailed prophetic meanings he assigns to individual festivals are theological interpretations rather than meanings explicitly established by every cited passage.
