Dear
United Church of God,
You don't know me, but I have read about your organization in the Feb. 8, 2006, edition of the Italian newspaper Libero. I found the interview with one of your ministers when I was doing a Google search for Christians who observe the festivals of the Bible.
You see, although I live in a country where it is very dangerous to
become a Christian, I have become very interested in the Bible. I am
beginning to believe that Jesus Christ truly is the Savior. As I read
the Bible I find that Jesus Christ is called our Passover, and I find
that the Church of God started on the Day of Pentecost.
If these two festivals are so important, I suspect the other festivals must be as well. But as I learn about many Christian churches, I do not find them observing these days. Many of them say the meaning of these festivals has been fulfilled and therefore it is no longer necessary to observe them.
In the Libero interview, your minister said, "What distinguishes us is the observance of the biblical feasts . . ." Since this is so, please tell me, what does the next biblical festival of the year, the Feast of Trumpets, mean? Also, is there future meaning behind these festivals or are they simply memorials of historical events?
Sincerely,
Abdul
Dear Abdul,
Thank you very much for your message and interest in the meaning of the biblical Feast of Trumpets. We applaud your courage and desire for the truth even in difficult circumstances. You've asked some profound questions about matters that few understand.
To begin answering your questions, let me quote from a booklet we publish called God's Holy Day Plan: The Promise of Hope for All Mankind (www.gnmagazine.org/booklets).
