"Fire Festival"


Acts 1

 

15.    At this time Peter stood up in the midst of the brethren (a gathering of about one hundred and twenty persons was there together), ……….

 

120 = 12 = divine government;  perhaps it is these 120 first fruits who will come out of their graves first.

 

Acts 2  The Day of Pentecost (First Fruits)

 

1.      When the day of Pentecost had come, they were all together in one place.

2.      And suddenly there came from heaven a noise like a violent rushing wind, and it filled the whole house where they were sitting.

3.      And there appeared to them tongues as of fire distributing themselves, and they rested on each one of them.

 

Pentecost is considered an early summer festival.  I find it interesting that tongues of fire descended upon them right at the start of the fire season (summer).  I also find it interesting that there could be another descension but this time it would be the Bridegroom Jesus coming down to gather his own. 

 

This year Pentecost is about 31/2 weeks before the summer solstice as well as 31/2 years before November 8, 2010.

 

Maranatha,

PS:  More Numbers:  Pentecost Sunday is on the 27th day of the month, and if we insert 2 0s between the 2 and the 7 we get the year 2007 annnnd….. 7 – 2 = the 5th month, May.
