"PENTECOST/ ENTERING IN"
THIS IS AN 'ADDENDUM' TO MY PREVIOUS POST ON ''FEAST TRENDS''.
ADDENDUM. ONE THEME OF BOOK OF HEBREWS IS THAT OF ''CROSSING OVER'' OR ''ENTERING IN''........TO ANOTHER DIMENSION.
JESUS HAS BEEN THE 'FORERUNNER' , HAVING ALREADY ENTERED.
WHY DOES PAUL/ IN THE BOOK OF HEBREWS ch 12/ BRING UP EVENTS OF
PENTECOST OF EXODUS 19 AND THEN COMPARE IT TO WHAT IS AHEAD FOR
US?.............IE 'BUT WE ARE COME........THAT IS COME.........TO THE
HEAVENLY JERUSALEM''..........AND IN CONTEXT THAT IS COMPARED TO WHAT
ISRAELITES IN OT 'CAME' TO ON PENTECOST!
As indicated in my prior post, all 3 themes of Passover have been fulfilled.......Bondage, Freedom, Glorification.
For Pentecost we have seen the first 2 of the 3 themes
fulfilled............Bondage, Freedom. The only theme Of Pentecost yet
to be fulfilled is Glorification.
And again I point out, if the waving action by the Priest on Day of
Firstfruits pictured the resurrection and rapture of Jesus to heaven,
(and it did!), then..........the Same Waving Action by the Priest of the
2 Loaves of Bread on Pentecost MUST represent the Same
'theme'..........but for another group other than Jesus.
Pentecost might very well represent the End of the Barley Harvest and
the Beginning of the Wheat Harvest. Ruth was with Boaz the night of
Pentecost according to Jewish tradition.....but.........nobody knew it!
''let no one know you have come down to the floor''........said Boaz to
Ruth.
