Along with the weekly Sabbath, Yahweh has established seven annual Holy Days (annual Sabbaths).
These sacred appointed times are not merely historic observances—they outline and picture His ultimate master plan of salvation for all mankind.
How to Observe the Holy Days
As you march, you will grow in understanding of the deep prophetic meaning behind each of these feast days. In the beginning, you do not need to feel overwhelmed:
Sabbath Rest: Treat these annual Holy Days as you would the weekly Sabbath—cease from commercial work and labor, and set the time apart to draw near to Yahweh.
Elevated Sacredness: Understand that these days hold a special place in Yahweh’s prophetic calendar.
Joyful Observance: Strive to prepare a special meal, give heartfelt thanks for His plan, and spend dedicated time in prayer, study, appreciation of the earth He has made, and fellowship.

Notes:
Concerning Passover: Passover is NOT an annual Sabbath, but it is the most important day of the year. You may work on the Passover.
Further instruction will be given concerning Passover later. For now, strive to remember Yahweh and His sacrifices for mankind. Have a special meal. Be still, and consider Yahweh’s great plan.
Concerning the Days of Unleavened Bread: From the first day to the seventh day of Unleavened Bread, you shall eat at least one piece of unleavened bread per day. You may eat as much as you like, but eat at least one. Eat just as you normally would, but be sure to eat unleavened bread. You may not eat leavened bread. Get rid of all the leavened bread products in your home (only that which is bread) prior to these days.
Concerning Atonement: the Day of Atonement is day of fasting. This means you do not eat food or drink water from sunset to sunset, on that day. It is spent in prayer, self examination, and giving thanks.
The very young (6 or younger) and the very old (70 or older) shall not fast. Focus on prayer.
The very sick shall not fast. It is not the Way of Yahweh to hurt themselves.
If you cannot fast for any reason, simply focus on extra prayer and study.
Concerning the Feast of Tabernacles: The Feast is an eight day celebration. It begins and ends with a holy day. If possible, take off this entire week. If you cannot afford to do this yet, do not be concerned. Yahweh will still be with you. But when you are able to do so, do it. If you have saved Second Tithe, use it for special meals and drink. Go see beautiful places, if you can. Be with Yahweh, and He will be with you. This time, the Feast of Tabernacles…this is a picture of the time after the Seven Year Cycle. It is called “The One Thousand Years.”
It will be a time of peace, celebration, prosperity, and abundance..for everyone.
