Children of Jacob / Jacobites

In the ministry’s terminology, “Jacobite” refers to a child of Jacob, whose name was changed to Israel. The calendar project uses “Children of Jacob / Jacobites” as an alternative identifier for the children of Israel, rooted in the covenant lineage of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob.

Scripture references: Genesis 32:28; Isaiah 44:1.

Our practice

Our practices include keeping the Passover and Feast of Unleavened Bread, the Feast of Tabernacles, observing the new moons, and keeping the Sabbath days holy, as well as recognising that there is a time for everything. While we may celebrate our new years with dancing, feasting and merriment, we must put all that aside during His holy times.

This merely scratches the surface of our traditions and service to the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, as our culture is rich and unique, not to mention diverse. Brethren from all walks of life, different races and backgrounds have the common bond of serving the One and True Living God. This is His family.
