"Supreme Importance: When Shavuot ENDS and When Pentecost ENDS"


 
At five doves, much has been written about conjectures about the true Anniversary Dates of Shavuot and of Pentecost. Which Anniversary Date, same for both, may be more significant? Let us ponder the Supreme Importance of when the SEASON ENDS for both. Conclusion, fully come, complete, and fulfilled. It is not at the Beginning, like day 1 for each, but rather at SEASON'S END! The Last Great Day of Elul, Elul 30, approaches august majesty, glory, and joy arriving the next day. According to the Torah Calendar, we are about halfway through the Repentance (Teshuvah) Days of Elul. As of 8-15 we are 21 days away from the ending of Elul 30 on 9-3 to 4-2024. Remember the delay of 21 days in the Book of Daniel? Will there be a divine delay period before Yom ha Din, Day of Judgement? Will Israel and the world continue fervent prayers for peace and safety during this time frame? Only 2 weeks ago 70,000 of 300,000 Tel Aviv residents were trying to fly out of the country. Somewhere. Anywhere else. Did each person fervently want peace and safety? Certainly did.

Let us next consider Month 7, Day 1 on 9-4 to 5-2024.This will be Appointment Time # 5 of the 7. The Messiah is reflected in Yom Teruah (Feast of Trumpets) themes: Arrival of the Great King, and Royal Wedding, and Resurrection after The Awakening Blast. August majesty, glory, and joy. Yet. There is a vitally significant theme, SPIRITUAL COUNTERPOINT, it is also Yom ha Din, Day of Judgement! On this day, the King's Year Calendar Year begins and the focus on the 7 Lamp Menorah goes from # 4 to # 5. The Day and Season of Shavuot and the Day and Season of Pentecost have come and gone, are over, complete, and fulfilled. They have really fully come.  In the annual cycle of Appointment Times, 1 to 4 will be complete. Shadow Pictures of the Messiah, according to Paul, 4 will be over, 3 yet to come. Will there be a marvelous September to remember in 2024?

Please go to five doves' archives to read my post of 9-13-2023 "Elul 30, The Noteworthy Last Day" concerning 25 motifs, why Elul 30 shall be noteworthy LAST DAY.

With Love and Shalom,
