Paul was quoting Ezekiel 45:17..
Which details a future times (not fulfilled) where there would be ‘Offerings ‘ again..

Those offerings are shadows to come- not passed.

He fulfilled the sacrifices, but the days are not done. The prophet Isaiah and Ezekiel speak of New Moons and Sabbath in the future..and Tabernacles for all.. Tough to say He did away with the days when Ezekiel 45:17 and Colossians 2:16 have the same order- one word is missing from Colossians but we can see it in the parallel verse in Ezekiel and know exactly what Paul meant.

The rudiment of the world tells you today is Thors Day Julius Casaers 30th day of His month.

Scripture and Creation say today is His 6th Day, the 14th Day of His 5th month.

One commemorates the Creative and Redemptive Work of the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. And the other offers praise and glory to false gods and kings.

The angel in Revelation 14 is clear- worship Him who created the Heavens, the earth the sea and all that is in them..

Which is why Revelation 13 has the enemy breaking and causing the world to break His 1st 4 Commandments,- the ones about worship .(they are in there if you look hard)

As for the birth, the sign described about the birth of the man child in Revelation 12 occurred physically on September 26, 2014. Nowhere near winter. In fact,because of science, we can show that sign in the Heavens occurred further away from winter2,000 years ago But again, using scripture and Creation is not something religion wants to do too closely..

And today is Thors Day to the world. Not esteemed to Yah. You make my point with how you tell time. And it isn’t about meat or drink offerings, but about Him. And scripture says to worship Him. (Again Revelation 14)

I have a harmony. And it helped me confirm the calendar. It also has helped me to see what each gospel represents- (for example- why does John put the cleansing of the temple so early in His- and why are there no parables in John’s? There are answers to questions like thoae)

And each one of the 4 can represent a different part of the past, present and future and represent
And why to be a bride, one will need to come out of the sleeping Body as Eve did with the first Adam..

And why 30/60/100 is absolutely lost on Judaism and Christianity today..
The Kingdom is still a mystery to so many.. When that is the gospel Yahshua preached.
Tough to repent from sin you don’t know you are committing. And tough to remember tomorrow is His Sabbath when the rudiment of the world says its Thors day.
We are saved by grace, through faith. It wasn’t until Rome’s Jesus was a shown to be another christ, a counterfeit did I see Satan’s plans completely that has been vesselled by those who tell the world what days are work days and what days are worship days- just like Daniel predicts ..

Pray people wake up..

I believe the phrase, "hardening of the heart" is a reference to the 'searing of the conscience' referenced in I Timothy 4: 2...."having their conscience seared". All people, sinners and saints alike, feel the weight of objective moral law. It is true that not all people acknowledge this weight as real law, for one has to believe in God, otherwise the unbeliever refers to this as instinct, feelings, socialization, or some such thing other than law (natural law). One only needs to reference Romans 1:18 and following: "For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrightousness of men who hold the truth in unrightousness. Because that which ay be known of God is manifest in them:for God hath showed it unto them. For the invisible things of him fem the creation of the world are clearly seen, being ;understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power an Godhead: so that they are without excuse. So, in a book by J. Budziszewski, entitled "What we Can't Not Know" he clearly expounds on the fact that God has imbued ALL men with a conscience. For example it is not possible to Not Know tha it is wrong mortally to kill ones offspring or torture an infant with a burning cigarette. It is something written on every heart. Yet, there are those who Do torture that baby and kill their offspring. The point is they know is is morally wrong , and they know it. Yet, it is true that people are able to repress that knowledge of moral law. People find 'self-justification' to justify an unjust decision. They suppress the knowledge of truth, just as Romans 1 states. They know, but exchange the truth for a lie.

We all have witnesses to our violation of Moral Law. Conscientia, or surface conscience is a moral belief derived from foundational or First Principles. We also have Syndersis or deep conscience which is the interior witness to the foundational principles of the Moral Law. We can fool an observer, but you (the real you, your soul) will not allow you to go without true knowledge of your violation of the Moral Law. The Syndersis is designed to tell us truth by someone wise enough to do so (God). The knowledge of God belongs to all of us already. But we may choose to suppress for self. Jesus said, "deny self, take up the Cross and follow me". The burden of the unbeliever is that they have no explanation for why such feelings should exist....why is it wrong to torture an infant? They must try to attach those feelings to something other than God.

I think God allows the ungodly to simply suppress those obvious feelings and hearken their hearts.
