The subject of keeping the feast days at their appointed times is being increasingly agitated as a wind of doctrine within Seventh-day Adventist circles. Claims are being made that these Jewish holidays are statutes that are part of the moral law and therefore binding upon us today. Some say that in order to be translated one has to be a feast keeper. Others suggest that keeping the ceremonial law was the missing element in the 1888 message brought by Elders A. T. Jones and E. J. Waggoner. What is even more perplexing is that certain Davidian groups are promoting a literal keeping of the feast days at appointed times of the year despite the clear light that shines from the Shepherd’s Rod message on how we are to apply the ceremonial law today in antitype only. This is further evidence that Davidia is still knocked out and following the doctrines of false prophets such as Ben L. Roden who introduced feast keeping into Adventism in 1955, just after the death of God’s true prophet Victor T. Houteff.
With all of the confusion abounding on this topic it seemed timely that a study be lifted up (click link below for a PDF download) that first clearly points out what the Rod teaches as to our duty on how to keep the ceremonial law today in antitype and how this is far and distinct from the position of literal feast keeping at appointed times of the year. In addition, each of the major justifications used by feast keeping advocates are exposed for what they really are, private, uninspired opinions.
