On the Appointed Times:

[Larry]

1. Shabbat. Leviticus 23: Shabbat is every 7th day. 3 "'Work is to be done on six days; but the seventh day is a Shabbat of complete rest, a holy convocation; you are not to do any kind of work; it is a Shabbat for YAHWEH, even in your homes.

2. Pesach. 14 Nisan is Pesach. Leviticus 23: 5 "'In the first month, on the fourteenth day of the month, between sundown and complete darkness, comes Pesach for YAHWEH. (1st of the 7 Feasts)

3. Matzah. Leviticus 23. Festival of Matzah, 7 days, Nisan 15-22. 1st day is a Shabbat, 7th day is a Shabbat. Do not eat any whole grains between sunset on Nisan 14 through sunset of Nisan 16. 6 On the fifteenth day of the same month is the festival of matzah; for seven days you are to eat matzah. 7 On the first day you are to have a holy convocation; don't do any kind of ordinary work. 8 Bring an offering made by fire to YAHWEH for seven days. On the seventh day is a holy convocation; do not do any kind of ordinary work.'" (2nd of the 7 Feasts)

4. First Fruits. Leviticus 23: First Fruits ' Nissan 16 ' day after the first Shabbat of Matzah. 9 YAHWEH said to Moshe, 10 "Tell the people of Isra'el, 'After you enter the land I am giving you and harvest its ripe crops, you are to bring a sheaf of the firstfruits of your harvest to the cohen. 11 He is to wave the sheaf before YAHWEH, so that you will be accepted; the cohen is to wave it on the day after the Shabbat. 12 On the day that you wave the sheaf, you are to offer a male lamb without defect, in its first year, as a burnt offering for YAHWEH. (3rd of the 7 Feasts) [Note: The date of First Fruits is taken to be 16 Nisan, because the first day of the Festival of Matzah is a decreed Shabbat, and the first day of the festival of Matzah is specifically dated ' 15 Nisan. That means the Shabbat of the first day of Matzah can be, but is not always a Saturday. The scriptures say that First Fruits is "on the day after the Shabbat" ' but it is not really clear which Shabbat is indicated. Is it the 1st day of Matzah or the 7th day of Matzah, or the regular Saturday Shabbat that may fall between the 1st and last day of Matzah?]

5. Festival of Weeks/Shavuot. Leviticus 23. Counting the 7 weeks. 15 "'From the day after the day of rest -that is, from the day you bring the sheaf for waving -you are to count seven full weeks, 16 until the day after the seventh week; you are to count fifty days; ... 21 On the same day, you are to call a holy convocation; do not do any kind of ordinary work [Shavuot ' Sivan 6]; this is a permanent regulation through all your generations, no matter where you live. (4th of the 7 Feasts)

6. Yom Teruah, Rosh Hashanah. Leviticus 23. Yom Teruah, Rosh Hashanah. 1st day of the 7th month, 1 Tishri, the new year. 23 YAHWEH said to Moshe, 24 "Tell the people of Isra'el, 'In the seventh month, the first of the month is to be for you a day of complete rest for remembering, a holy convocation announced with blasts on the shofar. 25 Do not do any kind of ordinary work, and bring an offering made by fire to YAHWEH.'" (5th of the 7 Feasts)

7. Yom Kippur. Leviticus 23. Yom Kippur. 10th day of the 7th month, 10 Tishri. 26 YAHWEH said to Moshe, 27 "The tenth day of this seventh month is Yom-Kippur; you are to have a holy convocation, you are to deny yourselves, and you are to bring an offering made by fire to YAHWEH. 28 You are not to do any kind of work on that day, because it is Yom-Kippur, to make atonement for you before YAHWEH your God. (6th of the 7 Feasts)

8. Sukkot. Leviticus 23: Sukkot ' 7 days beginning 15 Tishri. The 1st and th 8th day are Shabbats. 34 "Tell the people of Isra'el, 'On the fifteenth day of this seventh month is the feast of Sukkot for seven days to YAHWEH. 35 On the first day there is to be a holy convocation; do not do any kind of ordinary work. 36 For seven days you are to bring an offering made by fire to YAHWEH; on the eighth day you are to have a holy convocation and bring an offering made by fire to YAHWEH ; it is a day of public assembly; do not do any kind of ordinary work. ...39 "'But on the fifteenth day of the seventh month, when you have gathered the produce of the land, you are to observe the festival of YAHWEH seven days; the first day is to be a complete rest and the eighth day is to be a complete rest. 40 On the first day you are to take choice fruit, palm fronds, thick branches and river-willows, and celebrate in the presence of YAHWEH your God for seven days. 41 You are to observe it as a feast to YAHWEH seven days in the year; it is a permanent regulation, generation after generation; keep it in the seventh month. 42 You are to live in sukkot for seven days; every citizen of Isra'el is to live in a sukkah, 43 so that generation after generation of you will know that I made the people of Isra'el live in sukkot when I brought them out of the land of Egypt; I am YAHWEH your God.'" (7th of the 7 Feasts)

These above 8 items, Shabbat, and the 7 Feasts are the commanded observances by YAHWEH himself. Christians observe not a single one!
