I have a screen shot on my tablet captured from another
watcher describing what is to happen on the Feast of New Wine
relative to the Feast of New Grain (winter planted
wheat). I believe this Feast of New Wine is actually the
timing of the true Pentecost.
Here is the description:
Instruction from the Temple Scroll of the Dead Sea Scolls.
You shall count beginning from the day when you bring the
new grain offering to the LORD, the bread of the firstfruits,
seven weeks, seven full weeks, until the day after the seventh
Sabbath, You are to count fifty days, then sacrifice new
wine as a drink offering . . . then the whole people, great
and small, may begin to drink the new wine and to eat grapes
from the vines, for on this day they will make atonement for
the wine. So the children of Israel are to rejoice
before the LORD, this being an eternal statute, generation
after generation, wherever they may dwell. They shall
rejoice this day in the festival of new wine to pour out a
fermented drink offering, new wine upon the altar of the LORD,
as an annual rite. . . . [the priest]s shall drink first and
the Levites [second] . . . the princes of the standards first
. . . [men of] renown. After them the whole people, from
the great to the small, shall begin to drink the new
wine. The shall not eat any unripe grapes from the
vines, for on this day they shall expiate for the
tirosh. The children of Israel shall rejoice before
YHWH, an eternal rule for their generations wherever they
dwell. They shall rejoice this day for they have begun
to pour out an intoxicating drink offering, the new wine, on
the altar of YHWH, year by year.
Now, compare the above with what Paul expresses in II
Timothy 4:6-8:
6For I am already being poured out as a drink offering,
and the time of my departure has
come. 7I
have fought the good fight,
I have finished the
course, I have kept the
faith; 8in
the future there
is reserved for
me the crown of
righteousness,
which the
Lord, the
righteous Judge,
will award to
me on that day;
and not only to
me, but also to
all who
have loved His
appearing.
Perhaps
Paul knew
timing after
all, just not
the year.
Perhaps
this is why
Paul cut one
of his
missionary
journeys short
so as to get
back to
Jerusalem by
Pentecost per
Acts 20:16:
For
Paul had
decided to
sail past
Ephesus so
that he would
not have to
lose time in
Asia; for he
was hurrying,
if it might be
possible for
him to be in
Jerusalem the
day of
Pentecost.
