then for six more days TO/including and ending on the Last Great Day of the Feast, sundown Saturday October 7*
You can buy and sell on the 6 days after the end of October 1st Holy Day, which means from October 2* then forward to/including October 7* you may buy and sell.
For the Holy Days buy and prepare your meals the day before, and put them in the refrigerator or cooler if you are in an Hotel Room.
Because you do not want to go to Restaurants, and make Restaurant employees WORK on God’s Holy Days, when you should be teaching them to observe God’s Holy Days.
Then meet together at the main Hall building, and eat your meals with the Brethren.
Editor’s Note:
Brethren means “from the same womb”, which means in TO COG (The Obedient Church of God): All the Born Again ones=Brethren/Kin/now comprising the Family of God.
Shemini Atzeret Day 22 of God’s 7th month Sunday October 8* Holy Day
An independent celebration immediately following Sukkoth/Feast of Tabernacles. In Old Testament times a distinction was made regarding sacrifices: whereas 70 sacrifices were offered on the first seven days of Sukkoth to signify the “70 nations” constituting all humanity,
but a single ram and a single bullock were sacrificed on the eighth day to symbolize Israel’s special relationship to God.
Atzeret renders as “to gather” or “to store up.” Accordingly, on this day of celebration, we must
store up the sentiments of gratitude and devotion acquired throughout the entire fall holiday season, until the next Holy Day 6 months from now.
* Starts the evening before.
** Starts 1 evening and 1 day later in all Countries west of man’s phony 1884 IDL (International Date Line)= west of the USA which includes
1 day later for Australia, New Zealand, China, India, Pakistan, Jordan, etc., all countries west of the USA westward to Jerusalem.
