Isn’t Jerusalem the only proper place to keep the Biblical Feast days?

q     Isn’t Jerusalem the only proper place to keep the Biblical Feast days?

a Some think that worship is sanctioned and properly kept only at Jerusalem. Yahweh commanded in Deuteronomy 12:5 to worship where He places His Name. Yahweh didn’t place His name just in Jerusalem. Granted, when the kingdom comes to earth Jerusalem will be the capital of the earth and also the focal point of worship and the Feasts, 2Kings 21:7. Until then, as Yahshua said to the woman at Jacob’s well, “Believe me, the hour cometh, when you shall neither in this mountain, nor yet at Jerusalem, worship the Father,” John 4:21. The following are several times when the Feasts were kept away from Jerusalem:

Exodus 12 – Israel kept the Passover in Goshen, and Unleavened Bread on the way to the Promised Land.

Numbers 9:5 – Israel kept Passover and Unleavened Bread in the Sinai wilderness

Joshua 5:10 – Israel kept Passover on the plains of Jericho

Acts 20:6 – Paul kept Unleavened Bread in Philippi

1Cor. 5:8 – The Corinthians kept Unleavened Bread in Corinth. Paul in his missionary journeys kept the Feasts wherever he was, and at times was more than a thousand miles from Jerusalem.
