   I read your full reply before I replied and saw what you wrote stating that I   
   supplied no scripture to back up what I said. You were the one who claimed   
   there was no such scripture in the bible.

   Of course you didn’t. And Yes, these things were prophesied to Ancient   
   Israel. And they spoke of the Rule of Christ in a future time. And all of   
   this was part of the activities surrounding the 4th Temple described in   
   Ezekiel. One that has never been built and is yet to be built. The third   
   temple has yet to be built.

   The Hebrew does not say “in the first month” It said simple “In the   
   first”   
   It also does not say “Sovereign Lord Jehovah” Is says “The   
   ădônâyyehôvih"   
      
   Ezk 45:18 So says the Lord Jehovah: In the firstmonth, on the first of the   
   month, you shall take a bull without blemish, a son of the herd, and cleanse   
   the sanctuary.   
      
   Ezk 45:19 And the priest shall take of the blood of the sin offering and put   
   it on the door posts of the house, and on the four corners of the ledge of   
   the altar, and on the gateposts of the inner court.   
      
   So there is another learning lesson on the NWT and its error that you are so   
   proud of.

   Ezk 45:21 In the first, in the fourteenth day of the month, the Passover   
   shall be to you, a feast of seven days, unleavened bread is eaten.

   What I mentioned is true. All this appears to be a surprise to you which is   
   why you do not understand.

   You did not answer it at all, “that holiday” as if there were holidays   
   that you celebrated; then stating that the Mosaic Laws were done away with,   
   when this was not a Mosaic Law covenant, and it was well written far after   
   the Law was given, and in Fact, like John the revelator He too was given a   
   vision, Ezekiel in this case.   
      
   Why not learn the Doctrines of God rather than the doctrines of men?

   Exo 32:5 And Aaron saw, and he built an altar before it. And Aaron called and   
   said, A feast to Jehovah tomorrow.   
      
   Exo 32:26 And Moses stood in the gate of the camp and said, Whois for   
   Jehovah? Come to me! And all the sons of Levi assembled to him.   
      
   Exo 32:27 And he said to them, So says Jehovah, God of Israel, each one put   
   his sword on his thigh; pass to and fro from gate to gate in the camp, and   
   each one kill his brother, and each one his neighbor, and each one his   
   kindred.
