Continuing again in Leviticus 23:4

4. These are the feasts of the LORD, even holy convocations, which you shall proclaim in their seasons.

In the following verses, we find the Biblical Holy Days listed.

1) The Passover in verse five.
2) The Days of Unleavened Bread in verses six through eight.
3) The Wavesheaf in verses 10 through 14.
4) The Counting of the Omer in verses 15 and 16.
5) The Day of Pentecost (or Shavuot) in verses 17 through 20.
6) Feast of Trumpets (Rosh Hashana) in verses 23 through 25.
7) The Day of Atonement (Yom Kippur) in verses 26 through 32.
8) The Feast of Tabernacles (Sukkot) in verses 33 through 36.
9) The Eighth Day in verse 36.

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.
