CONCLUSION

At least this study has enlightened us to know that many are those who have been taken captives by our arch-enemy (Satan) through his human agents that have used all sorts of fables to deceive masses to celebrate those unbiblical festivals. For instance, it is a widely accepted norm that the celebration of Christmas and Easter (the two major Christian feasts), are memorable for Our Lord’s BIRTH and DEATH. But unfortunately, the truth is far from this belief. As I stated earlier, the origin of these festivals stem from idolatry and their celebration had been there even before the birth of Christ whom they associate their beliefs with. This means Christ’s name is being used as a ‘BAITE’ to deceive masses to follow paganism (MATT.24:4,5). So I side with Apostle Paul’s caution to the world to beware of this deceitful philosophy of the world through which people are taken captive.

"Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ.” COL. 2:8

After all what have these pagan festivals got to do with Our Lord Jesus Christ, that even the so called big time ministers and the highly learned people have all been swayed into their celebration? Where as it is now an open secret that Christmas, Easter, St. Valentine’s Day, Halloween and others are all PAGAN IN ORIGIN?

(14) "Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness? (15) And what concord hath Christ with Belial? or what part hath he that believeth with an infidel? (16) And what agreement hath the temple of God with idols? for ye are the temple of the living God; as God hath said, I will dwell in them, and walk in them; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people. (17) Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you,(18) And will be a Father unto you, and ye shall be my sons and daughters, saith the Lord Almighty.”

Let us now reason like Andrew, who for the sake of his salvation crossed carpet (i.e. changed his discipleship) from John the Baptist to the Lord Jesus, after his first master’s (John’s) own confession that Jesus is the Lamb of God that can give life. So if by the grace of God this lesson has taken you through so many proofs to show you the true divine feasts of God, it is it better to stop observing those pagan festivals I have exposed to you in order to keep the genuine ones. This is because there are many people out there, both the laity and the clergy, who keep those pagan festivals under the pretext of doing so to the glory of God, where as God did not warrant them to do so. Some of these Ministers openly admit that those well known festivals they celebrate, emanated from idolatry, yet they cannot stop following them. So if you have now found the true feasts that are Christ-centered, why would you not leave the pagan ones to serve the divine ones for your salvation? I hope you will do so.

(7) "Wherefore thou art no more a servant, but a son; and if a son, then an heir of God through Christ. (8) Howbeit then, when ye knew not God, ye did service unto them which by nature are no gods. (9) But now, after that ye have known God, or rather are known of God, how turn ye again to the weak and beggarly elements, whereunto ye desire again to be in bondage? (10) Ye observe days, and months, and times, and years. (11) I am afraid of you, lest I have bestowed upon you labour in vain.” GAL. 4:7-11
I know definitely that it is not all that easy giving up or stopping something that you have been so accustomed to: But based on this exhortation to the Galatians we have just read, I hope you will from now cease to observe those pagan festivals such as Christmas, Easter, St. Valentine’s Day and many others in order to inherit God’s blessings bestowed on His true divine feasts disclosed to you now.
You know what? Profanity is not good. So start to celebrate the Lord’s Holy Feasts and stop polluting His Sabbaths; otherwise you will be counted among those who profane God among themselves.

"Her priests have violated my law, and have profaned mine holy things: they have put no difference between the holy and profane, neither have they shewed difference between the unclean and the clean, and have hid their eyes from my sabbaths, and I am profaned among them.” EZEK. 22:26

By the grace of God, I have given you plausible explanations as to why every human creature on earth must continue to observe the Lord’s Holy feasts that are part of His Sabbaths; Make a new decision now and work hard towards your own salvation as far as this matter in hand is concerned. You know you cannot harbour any thoughts against your Creator’s established truth (2COR.13:8). So despite your initial thoughts towards these God’s Holy Feasts that frustrated you from keeping them, the little explanation so far given you might help you think right toward your Creator God. I am saying this because there are many out there who believe in the existence of these God’s feasts, but refuse to observe them just because of some reasons they have in mind as something against this truthful explanation I have given you. Some of these hindrances are those points I have already tackled in this study. Even if this study does not touch on your worries as to why you don’t keep such biblical feasts at all, please find time to research the truth that would make you able to keep God’s feasts for divine blessings and eternal life.
Enlightenment is good for every good Christian. I have already disclosed to you how we got to the knowledge of this whole truth, so don’t treat this important information as a hoax. Had we not heed to our brethren from America’s teachings about these feasts, we would not have been where we are now. So hearken unto the Lord’s voice by taking this very seriously. Satan through the keeping of these pagan feasts has taken many people captives for far too long, and it is high time all such people delivered themselves from Satan’s captivity by coming to the knowledge of this truth: Hence my humble exhortation for you to use this knowledge to redeem yourself.

(25) "In meekness instructing those that oppose themselves; if God peradventure will give them repentance to the acknowledging of the truth; (26) And that they may recover themselves out of the snare of the devil, who are taken captive by him at his will.” 2TIM.2:25,26

Therefore, I say repent from the old fashion of pagan Festivals and keep God’s Holy Feasts.
MAY GOD HELP YOU!!!!
