When we look to the Feast of the Lord called Pentecost (Shavuot) we can make an important distinction between THE DAY and THE SEASON. The day is celebrated at the conclusion of a period of 50 days (7weeks times 7 plus one day). Any calendar reckonings for The Day are over for 2019. However, The Season of Pentecost continues until it concludes on Month 6, Day 29. This date of Elul 29 will be the concluding day of 30 days annually of Teshuvah, of repentance. Then are the 10 Days of Awe from Tishri 1 to 10. Elul 29 is actually a date of great significance. It is the Last Day of Elul yet also The Last Day of the Regnal (King's Calendar) for THE COUNTING OF YEARS FOR ISRAEL! For example, if we look to Anniversary 71 since Israel declared itself a nation again in 1948, the Anniversary was 5-14. But would the year be reckoned from that date or from Elul 29? Same thing with Anniversary 70  when members of the United Nations voted to affirm Israel a nation. Did that year in divine reckoning end at Elul 29 as well?

   So a question remains. Is Pentecost COMPLETE on THE DAY or really upon completion of THE SEASON through Elul 29? The Feast of Trumpets, is Tishri 1, when the Regnal (King's Calendar) begins again,  the cycle for the counting of years for Israel renews. It will be 8-31 to 9-1, 2019. Pentecost is associated with the center position (The Messiah, Servant Lamp Position) on a 7 lamp Menorah. It is number 4. Lamp 5 is associated with The Feast of Trumpets. "In the midst of the menorah" can relate to lamp 4 or 5. The space between 4 and 5 is symbolic of The Season of Pentecost. It begins on The Day but it ends The Season of Pentecost on Elul 29. We are at Lamp 4 on the Menorah, in The Pentecost Season, until Elul 29 is complete!

   The Season of Pentecost ends as the Feast of Trumpets begins. Part of the world far back on the 24 hour grid is on The Last Day ( of Elul, the Pentecost Season, and the King's Year). Part of the world is into The Feast of Trumpets, The New King's Year, and the Days of Awe. So on the same day of 9-1, 2019, we End And Begin a momentous divine year reckoning in space and time since days of old. COMPLETION and RENEWAL! Pentecost is linked to the concept of grace. Among other names for it, The Feast of Trumpets is called Yom ha Din, Day of Judgment. What if the current Dispensation called The Age of Grace will end as Pentecost Season 2019 concludes? Then JUDGMENT BEGINS as The Hour of Trial, Daniel's 70th Week begins. Do all these themes indicate that it might? DAY or SEASON OF PENTECOST? WHICH COMPLETES IT? Maybe we will not be patiently waiting for The Day of The Blessed Hope until 2020. Like Pentecost Day 2020. Perhaps earlier, with Season rather than with The Day of Pentecost? This year? The Days of Teshuvah (Repentance) begin on 8-2 to 3, 2019 according to The Torah Calendar.. They may among be the most important days for repentance and reflection of our lives.

With Love and Shalom,
