Is Thanksgiving in the bible

Is Thanksgiving older than the story of the Pilgrims and the modern world? Thanksgiving is a feast day and it seems to be similar to the Peace offerings in Exodus 23:16 and Leviticus 23.  

The Canadian Thanksgiving is in October around the same time as the feast of the tabernacles, but in the USA Thanksgiving is in November. Both days could belong to an ancient three month festival that begins in September with the appearance of Autumn, ending with Christmas or the appearance of winter.

Leviticus 16: atonement Yom Kippur (September - October)

Leviticus 23:23 feast of trumpets (September - October) 

Leviticus 23: 23-25 Rosh Hashan atonement (Sept - Oct)

Leviticus 23:33 feast of Tabernacles (Sept - Oct)

Leviticus 25: Sabbath year and the Jubilee - debts are wiped away and people are pardoned and allowed to return home. Leviticus 25:41 refers to indentured servants returning to their families during what is called the Sukkot. 

JUBILIEES AND THE TURKEY

The book of Leviticus covers one month and is attached to the book of Numbers which covers 40 years. During this period in biblical history the African Pharoah Tutmose 3rd is celebrating his Jubilee of 30 or 40 years.

The Jubilee Leviticus 25:8-13 is rooted in the 49 or 50 year cycle of the Sirius planet but did this event take place every seven years or every year? 

The word Jubilee is also known as the sacred bennu bird of the Pharoahs and it was called Lord of the jubilees. The Bennu is also a symbol of the sun, creation and rebirth.  According to some ancient text the turkey can live to be 12 years old and twelve is a significant number because the earth revolves around the sun in 12 months. This could mean the turkey and the honoring life cycle of the Earth are associated to each. 

 Luke 6:1 Second sabbath of the first Corn fields, disciples plucked the ears of corn and did eat rubbing them in their hands ( the second sabbath after the first) this 2nd sabbath takes place during the feast of the tabernacles, which is a movable date that takes place on September & October on the Hebrew calendar while November's thanksgiving is a fixed date. One calendar uses the lunar the other the solar Genesis 1:14 but which one is accurate; I’ll leave that up to you to decide! 

The dates below cover the holidays in the Spring these could be the holy days of the ancient African or native people called Negro or the ancestor Noah! 

Leviticus 23 - Passover (March - April) 

Leviticus 23:9 the first fruits ( March - April)

Leviticus 24: bread and oil ( unleavened bread) April

Leviticus 23:15 feast of weeks ( June - July)

                                                        Genesis 1:14 

Having an understanding of harvest seasons, ancient farming practices and the decree of Genesis 1:14 can provide more clarity regarding the feast days in the bible. The movement of the universe is essential to understanding the origin of these farming harvest seasons and because we know there were farmers all over the world I am certain farming did not begin with the Pilgrims or Israel. We should consider the world pagan is defined as ancient farmers not evil works! 

 We should also consider foods associated to Thanksgiving such as Turkey and corn are and symbolic to Ancient Africa and many native tribes of America. 

Keep in mind that Indigenous people were highly spiritual, and that their names, clothing, and foods eaten during sacred periods have spiritual meaning and are mostly associated to the ancestors!

Genesis 6 - 10 

Genesis 6-10 says Noah was a farmer and the ancestor of either the ancient world or a group of people who created a new world order. These traditions were rooted in the civilization of Noah, and Noah could be the ancestor of the Pharoahs, the first monarchy of Africa! 

Genesis, Leviticus, Exodus

When we read decrees in the books of Leviticus and  Exodus 23:16 we should also read Genesis chapter 46 describes Israel being prepared to take over the farming culture of Canaan. We can see this in the agricultural calendar and in order to maintain the land they conquered, they would need to understand farming!  Therefore their holidays are rooted in a farmers calender, the original dates are rooted in the appearance of the moon instead of the solar (sun). 

Lets take a look at these days in the bible

How old are the rituals that are identified as Hebrew? 

Should we consider the Hindi celebration called Duwali and the traditions of Buddism as well as the traditions of China, the Catholic church and Greek churches. 

In the book of Leviticus the words ingathering and this is also a time when families come together. In America it is a time where. The president pardons a bird is this symbolic of an ancient tradition adopted from thr Native tribes of the east coast or colonies? It could be! 

 The Canaanites were farmers in the same manner as most ancient people. Prior to being invaded by Israel the land was already settled just like the land in the USA was settled before the invaders (colonist) pilgrims, French, Spaniards and British arrived. at one point these lands were joined together (Pangea) and that provides a variety of concepts as to who these tribes were related to or if they had a common ancestor.

Do a parallel study about the foods eaten around the world during autumn  celebrations and you will see many similarities between them. 

In Native Pharonic mythology the people believed they were taught to farm by a benevolent ruler who was a also Shephard (is the candy cane his symbol)?  Most Indigenous people share the same story about a man or woman who was killed and resurrected.  

The Africans are unique in that they have a story that is separate from the others, and it is regarding an ancient mother was said to have taught the women how to tie knots, braid and weave. Keep in mind the hair of people of African descent needs no accessories to hold the twist, braid or coil, it is a natural style. The corn eaten during Thanksgiving can also be related to what is called corn rows and the corn is a symbol of the ancient ruler possibly Masai in the form of what Europe calls Maize. We want to consider the challah - Judusim, Tsoureki - In Greek and the 

This period is also related to benevolence, which is another symbol of this benevolent ruler of pre-Islamic Africa. Israel had its father and Africa had theirs but when you read about the Father of Africa read with caution because these stories were revealed to the world by the French & German historians who seem to have embellished the stories with sexual overtones and frequent use of the word death. 

This ruler, sage or chieftain became the God of vegetation and every culture following the traditions of Africa had a God of vegetation but none identified him as their father except for the Pharoahs.  Vegetables are an important food eaten during this period and is symbolic of one of the ancestors of Africa. 

Israel is told  when they entered Canaan they should keep a sabbath unto the Lord. 

Six years they should sow and prune the vineyards and gather fruit.

Seventh year will be a rest unto the land ( NO sowing in the field or pruning in the vineyard) 

Don't reap what grows on it's own of your harvest Don't gather grapes it is a year of rest unto the land.

The sabbath of the land will be meat for you, your servant, your maid, your hired servant, and the stranger that sojourned with you this is proof that they were not farmers because they needed instructions to farm. However we see the spirit of the ancient father in the providing for the poor but what kind of foods did these people eat, what did they represent?  

One of the things to consider is the differences between the calendar used by Moses and the Pharoahs could be because many Asians use a lunar calendar.  I believe the Pharoahs used a solar based calendar and this could also be the reason Canada observes Thanksgiving in October and America in November but do they eat the same foods and do they have the same ancestor? 

I hope this helps in your studies!
