By the way thanks for
working out the days –exact to the 2550 days. I was just inserting
the 2520 days without taking into account the extra 30 days. It has been
sending me batty and I could not even sleep well thinking about it. It was
going round and round in my mind. Thanks a lot for it.
The Christian Pentecost is on
the 11th May and the Shavuot is on the 9th of June.
Looks as if the Feast of Eastar seems to be a month earlier than the Passover!!
We naturally have to go by the Jewish Passover which falls on the 20th April, whereas our Easter Friday falls on the 21st March.
I found this site on The Feast
of Pentecost http://endtimepilgrim.org/pentecost.htm and it clearly says that Pentecost is
“As we have alluded to earlier,
the feast of Pentecost had been the occasion of a great and noteworthy event in
the Old Covenant. It had been the birthday of the nation of Israel. But now
something new was happening. In that epic year of Christ's passion we are told
that the Feast of Pentecost "had fully come". In that epic year and
on that auspicious and awesome day the Feast of Pentecost was fulfilled in the
New Covenant. On that day the Feast of Pentecost had become more than the birthday
of Israel. Pentecost in 32 A.D. would now also become the birthday of the
Church.”
The story of Ruth is especially appropriate for Pentecost for many
reasons. It was at Pentecost that Boaz was betrothed to Ruth. It was the
beginning of wheat harvest, and Ruth went out into the fields to glean from the
harvest of Boaz, her next-of-kinsman. She presented herself to him in betrothal
on the eve of Pentecost. He accepted, according to Jewish tradition. The
Scriptures clearly reveal that it was the beginning of barley harvest when Ruth
began gleaning (Ruth 1:22). She continued reaping all the way through until the
end of barley harvest. (Ruth 2:21) This puts the story into the context of
Pentecost. The connection of Ruth to the Church is obvious. (Ruth 2:6-11). The
story of Ruth pictures the betrothal of the Church, typified by Ruth, the
Gentile convert, and Jesus Christ, the Messiah, typified by Boaz, of the tribe
of Judah.
PENTECOST AS A WEDDING COVENANT IN THE SUMMER SEASON OF LOVE AND
FLOWERS. RUTH WITH BOAZ. ISRAEL AT SINAI RESPONDS TO GOD'S PROPOSAL WITH A
RESOUNDING "WE WILL!" AND THEN THE CHURCH HAS HER MOUNTAIN TOP
EXPERIENCE ON THE SAME DAY, THE 7th OF SIVAN, THE DAY OF PENTECOST.
At
the time of the giving of the Law the Old Covenant, a marriage covenant between
YHVH and Israel, was proposed and answered with a resounding "We
do!"by the nation of Israel at its birth at Mount Sinai. Pentecost, coming
on the very same day also pictures the epic betrothal of Christ to the Church. It
is a day of epiphany, of divine manifestation of God coming down among men. And
men entering into a new relationship with God in a mountaintop experience, an
earnest, a down payment, the firstfruits of many glories yet to come. Pentecost
looks forward to the day when the Church will be glorified, and receive
incorruptible bodies to come into immortality in the God Family. She will be a
fitting glorious Bride for a loving and glorious Groom!
Pentecost
also looks forward to the day of our "epiphany", our complete change
from mortal to immortal, from corruptible flesh to incorruptible spirit bodies,
from the corruptible human state into the Divine nature through union with
Christ. Pentecost is where God’s covenant people are empowered by the
Holy Spirit. They have found the oil to light the way in that coming dark
journey through the wilderness. Pentecost gives us a foretaste of that coming
day of wonder when Christ will once again be "revealed from heaven,"
in awesome power and glory.
As
we can readily see, Pentecost is not just an old forgotten feast of ancient
Israel. We have every reason to believe that the Feast of Pentecost, like
Passover and Tabernacles, will continue to be celebrated during the coming
Millennium of Messiah. It will be one of the three pilgrimage festivals that
every family in Israel will go up to Jerusalem to attend every year. “
Can’t wait to get out
of here! We just seem to be marking time and it seems so tedious. Come
Lord Jesus!
