How can we know for sure what Paul meant? When He Said Sabbaths.

We first have to look at the progression in the Old Testament. 1 Chron. 23:31 Sabbaths and at New Moon festivals and at appointed feasts. We knowPaul familiar with the Old Testament Hebraic pattern used it in the New Testament.

2 Chron. 2:4 on the Sabbaths, and on the new moons, and on the solemn feasts of YHWH our Elohim. This is an ordinance for ever to Israel. {Notice on the Sabbaths, and on the new moons, and on the solemn feasts of YHWH }
2 Chron. 8:13 Even after a certain rate every day, offering according to the commandment of Moses, on the Sabbaths, and on the new moons, and on the solemn feasts, three times in the year, even in the feast of unleavened bread, and in the feast of weeks, and in the feast of tabernacles.
2 Chron. 31:3 “31:3 He appointed also the king's portion of his substance for the burnt offerings, to wit, for the morning and evening burnt offerings, and the burnt offerings for the Sabbaths, and for the new moons, and for the set feasts, as it is written in the law of YHWH.

Neh. 10:33 For the shewbread, and for the continual meat offering, and for the continual burnt offering, of the Sabbaths, of the new moons, for the set feasts, and for the set-apart things, and for the sin offerings to make an atonement for Israel, and for all the work of the house of our Elohim.
“Sabbaths, new moons, set feasts.” In both Ezekiel and Hosea we find the pattern reversed. Ezekiel 45:17 states “feasts, new moons, Sabbaths...” Hosea 2:11 “feast days , new moons, Her Sabbaths--”

You see the consistent pattern of the feasts and Sabbath. Colossians 2:16 feast days, new moon, Sabbath days or more accurately Sabbath.

Compare this with Gal.4:10 where Paul uses the opposite pattern,” You observe days and months and seasons and years. But now that you have come to know YHWH, or rather to be know by YHWH, how is it that you turn back again to the weak and worthless elemental things, to which you desire to be enslaved all over again?” {Speaking of the pagan world they came out of} These people wanted to keep what Christians keep now, but wanted to do what happened at Mt. Sinai...

“You observe days and months and seasons and years.” We observe, days (weekly Sabbaths, Set Apart High Days), months (new moons), seasons (the 7 feasts as commanded in the law Lev.23 These High Days are also called Sabbaths (years are the Sabbatical years, every 7 and the 50th year of Jubilee)

Read the chart, learn what was nailed to the was the sin offerings {He offered up His body as the sin offerings} You no long have to slaughter a 4 legged lamb or dove or bullock...this is what was done away with...
