Some argue … that since the annual festivals and holy days were designed as celebrations of important events of Israel’s history and as harvest festivals, they are of little or no practical value to New Covenant believers living in the modern world. After all, most of us do not live in agrarian societies, and many of us have no ancestral connections to the peoples of ancient Israel.

The answer is simple.
The annual festivals and holy days pertain to far more than gathering crops and celebrating ancient events. As the apostle Paul says, they are “a shadow of things to come” …
(Colossians 2:17); and as the New Testament plainly reveals, they are connected with the events of Christ’s redemptive work and the plan of God for all mankind.
