Galatians 5:1 Stand fast therefore in the liberty wherewith Christ hath made us free, and be not entangled again with the yoke of bondage. 2 Behold, I Paul say unto you, that if ye be circumcised, Christ shall profit you nothing.
Circumcision was like an engagement ring, it indicated that you were part of the Old Covenant between God and man.
3 For I testify again to every man that is circumcised, that he is a debtor to do the whole law.
When you enter into a covenant you are required to keep the entire covenant. You don't get to pick and choose what you are going to keep.
4 Christ is become of no effect unto you, whosoever of you are justified by the law; ye are fallen from grace. 5 For we through the Spirit wait for the hope of righteousness by faith.
We are here waiting for the rapture, that is the hope of righteousness. It is by faith, not by some formula. We don't sit down and say that on this day we will keep this Holy day and that will be when we get raptured. All of that was in the Old Creation, we are crucified with Christ and raised in the likeness of His resurrection and now we are walking in the New Creation.
This is what Jesus meant when He said "no one knows the day or the hour". The day and hour of the rapture is not shadowed in any day in the Old Covenant. That is not our covenant. This is a fundamental error of many watchmen, they think it is Passover, or Second Passover, or Shavuot, or Hanukkah, or some other day that the disciples all knew about when Jesus was on earth. But, He told them it wasn't any of those days.
That said, those days are still a shadow of things to come. Feast of Trumpets, Day of Atonement, Feast of tabernacles, these are all yet to be fulfilled. Even though the day of the rapture is not shadowed in the feasts of the Lord that doesn't mean that the day the two witnesses are killed isn't. It doesn't mean the day that Jesus returns in glory in the clouds isn't. It doesn't mean that the day that the Lord enlivens the Jews isn't or that the day He raises them up isn't. If we fit those four days into the framework then other days will fall into place as well like the 2300 days required to cleanse the sanctuary.
