"Pentecost (Shavuot)
Bride & Ecclesia: 7 Lamps, 7 Ecclesia. and 7 Feasts of
the Lord"
We see Scriptural connections with the number 7:
7 Lamps on the Menorah, 7 Ecclesia (Congregations of
Faith), and 7 Feasts of the Lord. What does the phrase mean in
The Book of Revelation that the Messiah is "standing in the
midst of the menorah" in the midst of the 7 Lamps. He is the
center of the 7, the middle Lamp, the Servant Lamp. The number
4 Lamp in the original divine menorah design had a container
of olive oil beneath it to feed all 7 lamps. The number 4
Servant Lamp, The Messiah Lamp, is also linked to number 4
Feast of the Lord at Pentecost (Shavuot).
This is Day 50, the Grand Finale and Conclusion
of The Counting of the Omer. Pentecost is THE ONLY FEAST with
a commanded period of counting up the days before it. The only
Torah commanded PREPARATION PERIOD OF THE WHOLE YEAR! WOW. The
period is 7x7 plus 1! There are 2 Great Pentecost
Anniversaries: The Giving and Accepting of the 10 Commandment
Wedding Vows and the other of the 613 Torah Mitzvoh in the
times of Moses, Aaron, and Miriam which we learn in the Book
of Exodus. The Second Great Pentecost Anniversary dates to 10
days after the Ascension. The Book of Acts tells us stories of
miracles, signs, and wonders unfolding on that amazing day.
This was the day for the Beginning of THE INDWELLING of The
Spirit of Truth in the early followers of The Way, the Bride
of Messiah and Ecclesia begun in fearless and vibrant Eternal
Life! This was a true Spiritual Sea Change Event for the 120
disciples plus another 3000 individuals transformed. Earlier,
at the First Passover, the closest friends to the Messiah
drank from the Cup 3 of the First Passover Seder, The Cup of
Redemption. His words "this is the cup of my blood" were the
ancient words of the Jewish Wedding Proposal. The friends
agreed to be His bride. The bride price was set at Gethsemane
and the bride price paid in full in The Atonement at Golgatha.
However. The Bride was set apart by THE INDWELLING by the 9
Fruit of the Spirit on that Great Pentecost (Shavuot). With
"the bringing in of the fullness of the Gentiles" to
conclusion, the Bride Class with be complete. Then.
Resurrection and Eternity.
Yes, the Spiritual Year of Israel begins on Nisan
1 for the Counting of Months. Yes, the King's Year (Regnal
Year) begins on Tishri 1 for the Counting of Years. Look to a
3rd cycle begun each year on Pentecost. The Anniversary of The
Bride in Messiah, the Eternal Ecclesia Body as symbolized in
the 7 Ecclesia at Asia Minor. Sivan 6 is part of the ongoing
Pentecost cycle. On the 360 days cycle on the annual Torah
Calendar, the cycles begin, unfold and then renew. These are
like cycles of circles of 360 degrees. Messiah is the
beginning and the ending and all within these cycles. He is
the agent of continuity in the Nisan 1, Pentecost (Shavuot),
and Tishri 1 premiere cycle events annually renewing.
Will there be a 3rd Day, Day 3 Great Pentecost
(Shavuot) soon in 2019 on 5-11 to 12? A 3rd Day of miracles,
signs, and wonders to join the 2 before? This will also be a
3rd day backward, like reading Hebrew, from the 5-14
Anniversary 71 when Israel again declared itself a nation in
1948. All of The Messiah's Bride of the Ages will be
transformed in Resurrection on The Day of The Blessed Hope.
Perhaps in 2019? At Pentecost (Shavuot)t on 5-11 to 12? The
Omer Count increases each blessed day for those with eager
anticipation of the Joy of Pentecost in past, in present, and
in future. We shall see...
With Love and Shalom,
Jean
