The Day of Thanksgiving and the Bible

November 24, 2022 • Arthur Bailey

For Americans, Thanksgiving is a special, beloved holiday for eating turkey - or a vegetarian main course option - and spending time with family and friends. Both the religious communities and non-religious communities alike celebrate the day of Thanksgiving which generates debate over its religious associations.

However, for others, the celebration is deeply controversial. Thanksgiving has a contentious history that goes far beyond when the first feast was held. Like Columbus Day, the holiday is viewed by many to be a celebration of the conquest of Native Americans by colonists. Thanksgiving is considered by some to be a national day of mourning.


Biblically, there are Holy Days that are to be observed which were given to us by YeHoVaH through Moses. If one chooses to celebrate Thanksgiving, do so knowing it is not Biblically mandated or required by YeHoVaH.

Get the FACTS about Thanksgiving in this teaching, The Day of Thanksgiving and the Bible.

Vows, Values and Redemption

January 19, 2023 • Arthur Bailey • Leviticus 27

Vows were not commanded by the Law of YeHoVaH, but were made by individuals who wanted to do something over and beyond what was required by YeHoVaH in exchange for something. Typically, vows were made to dedicate or devote someone or something of value to the service of YeHoVaH.   In this final chapter of Leviticus, YeHoVaH gives Instructions for the vow being made, the value of the person or the thing that is vowed, and the process for redeeming that which had been vowed.   In preparation for the study of Vows, Values and Redemption, please read Leviticus 27:1-34.

Curses for Disobeying the Law Pt 2

January 12, 2023 • Arthur Bailey • Leviticus 26:14–46

The Law of YeHoVaH is inclusive of blessings and curses, life and death. Those who obey YeHoVaH’s Law experience the life of YeHoVaH and the benefits, blessings, and privileges thereof. Disobeying the Law of YeHoVaH produces death and the curses associated with disobedience.   In the second portion of Leviticus 26, YeHoVaH instructs Moses to warn the Children of Israel, and those who joined themselves to the Commonwealth of Israel, of what they had to look forward to if they rejected His Law or failed to carry out all His Commands and violated His Covenant.   In preparation for the study, Curses for Disobeying the Law Pt 2, please read Leviticus 26:14-46.
