So, should Gentile Christians observe Jewish days?
Although at this time there does not appear
to be any requirements on Gentiles to observe the Sabbath and the annual
Holy Days, Ezekiel certainly says that those from the nation of “Israel”
(both kingdoms) are expected to do so, and the prophet Zechariah writes
about a time ALL nations are required to attend the fall Feast of
Tabernacles (Sukkot).
Zechariah 14:16
16 And it shall come to pass that everyone who
is left of all the nations which came up against Jerusalem shall go
up from year to year to worship the King, the LORD of hosts, and to keep the
Feast of Tabernacles.
17
And it shall be that whichever of the families of the earth do not come up
to Jerusalem to worship the King, the LORD of hosts, on them there shall be
no rain.
