There are 2 ways to interpret when the Counting of the Omer would begin. "On the morrow after the Sabbath." Which Sabbath? Was it the morrow after the High Sabbath (Shabbaton) of Day 1 of the Feast of Unleavened Bread on Nisan 15? Or was it the morrow after the weekly Day 7 Sabbath? In 2017, the morrow after the High Sabbath is 4-14. The morrow after the weekly Sabbath is 4-16. The earlier date plus 50 days leads to Pentecost (Shavuot) fully come on 6-1-2017. The later date means 6-4-2017. Pentecost (Shavuot) is Feast 4 of the 7 Feasts of the Lord per Leviticus 23. On the 7 pronged menorah it is the center position at 4, the Servant Lamp position representing the Messiah. In the original design, patterned after the menorah in Heaven, the upraised lamp 4 was above all the other 6, and above the compartment with the olive oil which distributed the olive oil to all the 7 lamps with olive oil, and wicks. and flames. What does this mean? This displayed a tremendous truth. The olive oil, the lamp oil, for all 7 lamps came from lamp 4.

 

 Pentecost (Shavuot) is enveloped in mystery and AWAITS COMPLETION!.

 

 Pentecost (Shavuot) Showcases Great Themes.

 1. Divine (Mosaic) Law given in 10 Commandments.

 2. Divine Wedding and Marriage with the 10 Commandments as Vows.

 3. Feast of the Lord number 4 and at the center of all the 7 Feasts.

 4  Pilgrimage Harvest Festival, number 2 of 3, again the centerpiece.

 5  Barley Harvest complete and Wheat Harvest begun (The Staples of Life for ancient Israel).

 6. The Ecclesia (Bride and Body of the Messiah) initiated with the indwelling of the Holy Spirit, with     

      the earnest of the Spirit manifested in the 9 Fruit of the Spirit (Galatians 5:22).

       Love,

       Joy,

       Peace,

       Patience,

       Kindness,

       Goodness,

       Faithfulness,

       Gentleness, and

       Self-control. 

 

Of all the Feasts of the Lord, only Pentecost (Shavuot) has a long period of preparation for it, namely, The 50 Days of the Counting of the Omer. THE BRIDE'S COUNT! Will 6-1 to 6-4-2017 be momentous for Divine Wedding in 2017? The Wedding of the Ages? We shall know soon.

 

 

With Love and Shalom,
