"TO JEAN STEPNOWSKI:  No OT Scriptures About The Feast of The New Wine"


Thank you for your 5/18 post Scriptural Days of Greatest Importance and your following paragraph in it which I fully agree with:

"Moses in the Book of Deuteronomy and the Messiah in the Book of Revelation SOLEMNLY WARN, not to add or delete from the words of the testimony, from the words of the Scriptures. Example. The Essenes believed in additional spiritual days of importance, NOT COMMANDED in the Scriptures. Their Feast of New Wine and Feast of New Olive Oil DO NOT APPEAR IN LEVITICUS 23. The Essenes were single men who did not marry or have children. They believed the end of the world was near. Their community in the desert died out. They added to the Scriptures these 2 Feast Days. Does Leviticus 23 tell us that Shavuot, Feast # 4 is in 3 parts, each 50 days apart? No. Would the Messiah have told His poor fisherman disciples, living on a common purse, to wait about 10 days or 60 days at Jerusalem for the arrival of the Spirit of Truth, the Holy Spirit? House guests of Lazarus at Bethany for 60 days? Jerusalem was expensive. The Feast of Weeks (Shavuot) is at Days 49-50 of The Counting of the Omer, begun on Nisan 16. The Omer is not counted thrice, for 3 periods of 50 days each, 150 days. The Essenes added to the words of the Scriptures. The Essene Feast of New Wine or Essene Feast of New Olive Oil are NOT PART OF THE SCRIPTURALLY COMMANDED DAYS of Greatest Spiritual Importance, Consequence, and Value. Be wary of the non-Scriptural traditions of men, which add to or delete from the Scriptures. Moses and Messiah have WARNED US!"

appeared on the same day at 5doves as the Lord always has at least two witnesses to testify as to what is the truth, and the truth is that no where in the Old Testament were the Israelites commanded to appear before the Lord God for the Feast of New Wine which took place 50 days after Pentecost which was also called Shavuot and the Feast of Weeks. It was a practice of the Essenes from Qumran.
